Impact of augmented reality-enhanced biological taxonomy instruction on students’ knowledge gains and science motivation
Several studies have emphasized the importance of adopting innovative approaches to science education to foster students’ interest and engagement with science. Emerging technologies, such as augmented reality (AR), have shown great promise for enhancing science learning experiences and continue to be explored for their benefits. In this paper, we examine the impact of AR-enhanced versus 2D-image instruction on students’ knowledge gains and motiva…
C.S. Peirce Loves Craft Beers
We present a perspective on the potential of craft production to strengthen place brands and vice versa, in a positive dynamic enabling local community development. Tradition and innovation are not constructed as mutually exclusive. The perspective is semiotically inspired, more precisely by the work of C.S. Peirce (1839–1914). We expand on Peirce by including concepts of narrative and place brand in our framing of craft potential, but for the ke…

Reimagining craft for community development
In this paper we link contemporary thinking on craft and craftsmanship to concepts in community development. Craft is contrasted with popular development dogmas such as innovation, planning and the knowledge economy. Our aim is to reimagine craft as a form of production linked to traditions of trade-craft and blue-collar work, yet open to blending with the creative economy and innovation agendas. While emphasising tradition, craft can be forward-…
Revolution to Dissolution
“The BEATLES” a.k.a., the “White Album,” released in November 1968, has sold 24 times Platinum (U.S.) and continues to garner fans and analysis. The following examines the album as reflection of the band, its legacy, song writing, recording and production techniques, and packaging. The White Album reveals individual development and outside influence, as the core faded and different interests led to dissolution. The multi-genre album shows group a…
Urban agriculture in the making or gardening as epistemology
This paper explores the production of Prairie Urban Farm, an urban agricultural initiative in the Canadian city of Edmonton, Alberta. Motivated by our involvement in the initiative and guided by a broader interest in the evolving meaning and politics of urban agriculture, the paper presents Prairie Urban Farm as a negotiated and emergent social space. Rather than limit understandings of the initiative to official representations and discourses, t…
Reading Contra Julianum in Light of the City of God
Augustine's rejection of pagan virtue in the City of God is often connected to his anti-Pelagian works and so exaggerated. However, Augustine's actual account of pagan virtue, both in the City of God and Contra Julianum , is much more nuanced than is commonly recognized. Augustine connects true virtue to true religio, its end in the beatific vision, and the grace without which it is impossible, and consistently highlights the connection between v…
Place and community responses to opportunity
Focus groups on nanoscience, walking tours and a Citizen Summit demonstrate the Edmonton Canada community acting as both a sounding board and also as a collective think tank that mediates across networks in a city-region where strong local elites that draw on mechanical solidarity. This demonstrates the collective learning potential of social networks to be effective mediators in the process of recognizing opportunities. Our participatory researc…

Urban virtues and the innovative city
In the highly competitive landscape of global cities and entrepreneurial urbanism, the development goals of cities are increasingly framed through discourses of ‘innovation’. In this paper we critically examine this relationship through a case study exploring the attempt to build a nanotechnology sector in Edmonton, Alberta. Adopting a collaborative research methodology involving citizen engagement and urban touring, we explore participant repres…

Understanding Student Veterans in Transition
In this research report the author details a phenomenological study documenting identity development in student veterans making the transition from active military service to higher education. This study took place at a doctoral granting proprietary university with a significant veteran population and consisted of in - depth interviews. This analysis illustrates how student veterans construct and achieve more complex senses of self that incorpora…

Un espace d'engagement citoyen
Ces dernières années, une transition dans les approches européennes de gouvernance du risque et, en particulier, de la participation citoyenne à l'expertise scientifique a pu être observée. Alors que les politiques de gestion des questions liées aux risques entrent traditionnellement dans la compétence des bureaucrates et des scientifiques, certaines expériences menées dernièrement ont élargi la portée de ces processus à un plus grand nombre de p…
The good, the bad and the perfect
Criticism seems to be a recurring and significant characteristic of public engagement exercises – as reflected both in general political discussion and in the academic literature on public engagement with science. This article suggests that rather than being a distraction from the main business of ‘technical democracy’, criticism lies at the heart of public engagement and in that way should be seen not simply as an unwelcome and unanticipated by-…

Fear of democracy or revolution
In the wake of a May 2005 prison break, the subsequent protests, and a government crackdown in the city of Andijon, are there similar events on Uzbekistan's horizon with the potential to undermine the government? More broadly, is there any prospect for a democratic opening or reform

The cosmic keyboard
There are some quite remarkable parallels between the structure of the western calendar and the organisation of tonal music. Both are functions of attempts to order the cosmos which demonstrate the heavenly symbolism intrinsic to the most fundamental aspects of earthly existence, so often ignored by contemporary rational and materialist minds. Whether musical precepts affect our perceptions and priorities in interpreting the heavens, or the other…

The Survey and Recording of Rock Art Sites using Terrestrial Photogrammetry
The general interest in the potential of photogrammetry for the recording of rock art has prompted us to write this report on a recent project, carried out to demonstrate both the more familiar side of terrestrial photogrammetry (three-dimensional viewing and plots of detail and/or contours), and to introduce the new technique of using orthophotography. The project was carried out jointly by the Queensland Department of Mapping and Surveying (DMS…

Generative models in computer-assisted musical composition
A number of generative models have been used to facilitate the handling of large amounts of data in computer assisted musical composition. Various modelling techniques are identified and compared. These include fractal (self-similar) models used in both stochastic and non-stochastic contexts. A technique is explained which makes use of recursive parallel production systems similar to those which have been used to devise effective models of biolog…
