Storm clouds on the digital education horizon
نویسنده
چکیده
Although digital education is growing across all sectors of tertiary education, there are still many unresolved challenges. This paper focuses on five of them: 1) faculty workload in online teaching, 2) the continued dominance of traditional pedagogy in digital education, 3) the weak state of assessment of learning outcomes, 4) flaws in the accreditation process, and 5) the disappointing state of research in the area. The paper concludes with recommendations for a strong development research model to address these and associated challenges.

متن کاملLightning on Jupiter observed in the Hα line by the Cassini imaging science subsystem
Night side images of Jupiter taken by the Cassini Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) camera with the Hα filter reveal four lightning clusters; two of them are repeated observations of the same storm. All of these flashes are associated with storm clouds seen a few hours earlier on the day side of Jupiter. Some of the clouds associated with lightning do not extend to the upper troposphere. The repe...
متن کاملSolar cycle effect on geomagnetic storms caused by interplanetary magnetic clouds
We investigated geomagnetic activity which was induced by interplanetary magnetic clouds during the past four solar cycles, 1965–1998. We have found that the intensity of such geomagnetic storms is more severe in solar maximum than in solar minimum. In addition, we affirm that the average solar wind speed of magnetic clouds is faster in solar maximum than in solar minimum. In this study, we fin...
