Judyth Sachs, Lindie Clark, "Learning Through Community Engagement: Vision and Practice in Higher Education"
English | 2016 | pages: 326 | ISBN: 981100997X | PDF | 5,0 mb
This book charts the development of a whole-institution approach to university-community engagement at a modern Australian university, highlighting the pivotal role that curriculum renewal can play in organizational transformation. It describes how Macquarie University's PACE (Professional and Community Engagement) program developed and fostered a culture of learning that has been at the center of academic renewal, differentiation, and institutional change. It details the development of the PACE pedagogical model, the establishment of the network of stakeholder relationships which underpin it, and the embedding of the model across the whole institution. Authored by those directly involved in the change project, this book tells the story of PACE, its achievements, challenges, success factors and future directions. A series of dovetailing contributions by leading international scholars of university-community engagement set the PACE story in its global context. This book adds to the scholarship of learning through community engagement, provides international perspectives on trends and issues in university-community engagement, contributes to a broader understanding of the practice and pedagogy of community engagement, and discusses the challenges and opportunities of implementing and sustaining change in the higher education sector.

Fan Yang, Zhenghong Dong, "Learning Path Construction in e-Learning: What to Learn, How to Learn, and How to Improve"
English | 2016 | pages: 162 | ISBN: 9811019436 | PDF | 5,8 mb
This book focuses on developing methods for constructing learning paths in terms of "learning resources" (learning contents), "learning approaches" (learning method), and "learning quality" (learning performance) to support learning. This book defines different teaching approaches for learning activities and organizes them into a learning path which indicates the learning sequence. This book introduces how to automatically generate well-structured learning resources for different students.

Saied Muhammed Hassan Darwish, Naveed Ahmed, Abdulrahman M. Al-Ahmari, "Laser Beam Micro-milling of Micro-channels in Aerospace Alloys"
English | 2017 | pages: 368 | ISBN: 9811036012 | PDF | 15,1 mb
This volume is greatly helpful to micro-machining and laser engineers as it offers obliging guidelines about the micro-channel fabrications through Nd:YAG laser beam micro-milling. The book also demonstrates how the laser beam micro-milling behaves when operating under wet conditions (under water), and explores what are the pros and cons of this hybrid technique. From the predictive mathematical models, the readers can easily estimate the resulting micro-channel size against the desired laser parametric combinations. The book considers micro-channels in three highly important research materials commonly used in aerospace industry: titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V, nickel alloy Inconel 718 and aluminum alloy AA 2024. Therefore, the book is highly practicable in the fields of micro-channel heat exchangers, micro-channel aerospace turbine blades, micro-channel heat pipes, micro-coolers and micro-channel pulsating heat plates. These are frequently used in various industries such as aerospace, automotive, biomedical and micro-electronics.

Large-Scale Group Decision-Making: State-to-the-Art Clustering and Consensus Paths
