Archival Review
The Welsh Political Archive (WPA) is a dedicated programme within the NLW (The National Library of Wales), established in 1983, to collect, catalogue and promote archival material which reflects the political life of Wales
The biomass distribution on Earth
Significance The composition of the biosphere is a fundamental question in biology, yet a global quantitative account of the biomass of each taxon is still lacking. We assemble a census of the biomass of all kingdoms of life. This analysis provides a holistic view of the composition of the biosphere and allows us to observe broad patterns over taxonomic categories, geographic locations, and trophic modes.
The role of theory in learning technology evaluation research
This paper attempts a fundamental analysis of the nature of research into e-learning and the role that theory plays in this. We examine 'research' in broad terms, and the nature of phenomena in general. We identify that e-learning is an artificial phenomenon, and that research approaches need to be cognisant of the design elements in e-learning, and the cyclical nature of e-learning development. We identify various desired research outcomes which…
Web-based lecture technologies and learning and teaching
The uptake of web-based lecture technologies for recording and delivering live lectures has increased markedly in recent years. Students have responded positively, and for many their use has transformed learning – freeing them up from rigid timetables by providing choice in lecture attendance and supporting learning by extending the lecture experience and enabling them to revisit key concepts and ideas in their own time. Less transformational has…
Web-based lecture technologies
There is now widespread recognition of the changing nature of students in higher education: they are demographically diverse, have extensive external time demands, and expect greater flexibility and support during their programs. As a consequence of this and other changes to the higher education sector, many universities worldwide have introduced a range of information and communication technologies to provide students with flexible options for s…
Developing Indonesian Capacity in Water and Sanitation
This paper critically examines a project aimed at improving Indonesian capacity in water and sanitation through a process of institutional strengthening. Funded by the Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID) this involved the partnering of Murdoch University’s Environmental Technology Centre (ETC), Australia and Merdeka University’s Institute for Environmental Management and Technology (IEMT), Indonesia. Through a series of colla…
An evaluation of tertiary language learning through student constructed multimedia
The Interactive Stories [IS] approach offers language students an alternative way to learn language skills, through authoring and producing their own ‘choose your own adventure’ stories using software for interactive multimedia. This paper describes an evaluation study of the InteractiveStories approach. The main focus of the study was to investigate the learning processes used by students, and how well they met the desired learning outcomes. The…
The use of a QTVR image database for teaching veterinary radiology and diagnostic ultrasound to distance education students
The result of the project described in this paper is an innovative use of Quicktime Virtual Reality (QTVR) for display and manipulation of veterinary radiographs and ultrasound images, within a database developed for use in the Veterinary Diagnostic Imaging unit of the Master of Veterinary Studies at Murdoch University. One of the aims of this project was to find an alternative for the bulky sets of radiographs used by external students for their…
Issues involved in developing a project based online unit which enhances teamwork and collaboration
This paper presents the results of developmental research into the design of an online unit on Interactive Multimedia project management. The decision to offer the unit online was based on a requirement for the unit to be available in external mode, and an awareness that the traditional print-based delivery of material was not the most appropriate format considering the characteristics of a project-based unit. The unit was designed around online …
