The Impact

The chapter explores the impact globalization has created for the higher education sector, looking at how the landscape evolved across the world and how the role of universities has been transformed. Extending the analysis further, there is an investigation of how institutions have tried to respond to the emerging challenges and opportunities presented as a consequence of the shifting field. The focus then moves to the African continent and peruses the particular development of higher education under the influence of colonial legacy and globalization, examining how institutions have endeavored to adapt. The chapter draws to an end with a reflection of the main issues, inherent limitations, and how the research agenda could be taken further.

This chapter examines the use of Information and Communication Technologies and their impact on resource sharing initiatives within the context of library consortia in Zimbabwe. The writer also explores the various projects initiated to promote resource sharing. The challenges and opportunities that ICT's provide are also meticulously explored. The writer probes how ICT's have transformed academic libraries in Zimbabwe in the context of digital technology. It also seeks to find out the benefits that libraries can accrue from investing in ICT. The paper also explores the extent to which academic libraries are making use of technology to contribute to the national and global research agenda.

New Framework

AbstractA new framework, agenda and practice is called for to address the challenges and opportunities architecture must confront in the age of our computationally empowered Post-Fordist network society. This paper introduces the research agenda of ‘agent-based parametric semiology’, and explains the necessity of introducing a new tool, agent-based life-process modelling, as part of the design process, in order to cope with the new complexity and dynamism of architecture’s social functionality. The paper reviews the development of this design research program over the last 10 years. Finally, the paper describes current efforts to move from the illustrative use of life-process modelling to a scientifically grounded quantitative analysis and generative design optimization.

The Web

Currently the Web is the largest available environment for the deployment of agents, and much work in agent research is driven by Web-based applications (Luke et al. (1997), Joachims et al. (1997), Bollacker et al. (1998), Doorenbos et al. (1997) are just some examples; see also the May 2000 special issue of the Artificial Intelligence Journal on intelligent internet systems, 118 (1–2)). However, such applications of agent technology are hampered by the fact that the Web is not geared towards agent use, but is rather designed for human use. Current Web resources are lacking in explicit, machine-accessible descriptions of their contents; they are only fully accessible to agents with a competent grasp of English (i.e. limited to human agents only).

AbstractThis article elaborates on one of the main characteristics of digital native and embedded advertising: its lack of transparency. Challenges and opportunities for disclosing native advertising practices as well as how educational measures concerning this type of advertising should look are discussed. In addition, a future research agenda is presented.

The Relationship

Agile software development is having a profound impact on the software industry. Agent-Based Social Simulation (ABSS) has led a paradigm shift in the way social scientists understand and manipulate complex systems. However, little is known about the relationship between the two and how they can create meaningful synergies. A review of the evidence available on the connection agile-ABSS was conducted. The review investigates what is currently known about agile adoption by ABSS and the value and limitations that can be derived from the connection. The main implication for researchers is the need to implement agile methods in a greater number of ABSS projects, on which to support further research and experimentation. For practitioners, the review raises awareness on the topic and reveals that there is a long road ahead of challenges and opportunities for those willing to unlock value from ABSS. For both, it would be highly beneficial if they joined forces and agreed on a common research agenda.

Critical Issues

Career and Technical Education (CTE) is no longer just a training program for workers. CTE today prepares students for employment, industry credentialing, postsecondary education, and lifelong learning. This change, stimulated by demand and federal legislation, has brought many new challenges and opportunities for CTE. Federal legislation, CTE image, and decrease in secondary enrollment and in teacher education programs have created challenges and opportunities for all CTE stakeholders. In 2008, a National Career and Technical Education Research Agenda were approved by the Association of Career and Technical Education (ACTE). This agenda will be the framework for future research relating to the critical issues and concerns in CTE. This chapter addresses the challenges and opportunities for CTE as well as future trends.
