This chapter offers instructors in higher education some basic tools and elements of course design for interreligious encounter in the undergraduate classroom. Aiming at practice over theory, it provides practical suggestions for fostering interreligious understanding from the first day of class through the end of the semester. These suggestions include the use of guest speakers, interdisciplinary case studies, in-class reflections, and interreligious community engagement (i.e., “service learning”), among others. Further, it provides a concise bibliography of basic introductory texts for both students and instructors in the areas of comparative theology, theologies of religions and religious pluralisms, and interreligious studies and dialogue.

This chapter looks into the importance of having a clear identity of a boundary spanner in determining the role of the partners in a university-industry knowledge transfer programme. It highlights issues around the relationship between the business and the graduate as the boundary spanner, where the university's level of control differs between two programmes: Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) and Knowledge Exchange and Enterprise Network (KEEN) programme. The four case studies illustrate interesting points since the university is the employer for the KTPs associate and the business is the employer for the KEEN associate, whilst successful KTP and KEEN projects rely on a full understanding of the role of the graduate within the business.

El documento describe el desarrollo de casos de estudio como investigación aplicada producto de un marco teórico básico y la experiencia de los investigadores y la viabilidad de su uso como herramienta académica y de vinculación. En concreto, el escrito describe la experiencia de la investigación aplicada recientemente, que produjo dos estudios de casos de pyme panameñas. La investigación anterior incluyó además de la escritura de los casos, la propuesta de una guía básica para la redacción de casos de estudio, que se utilizará con fines académicos. Los casos fueron validados para el aprendizaje y la enseñanza por grupos de estudiantes y pares académicos. Además de compartir esta experiencia que produjo la guía básica, consideramos importante explorar el desarrollo de casos de estudio como una herramienta para la vinculación de la Universidad y la Comunidad. Por lo tanto, este trabajo, además de explorar las opiniones de los dos primeros grupos sobre el uso de casos para fines enseñanza-aprendizaje, se complementa con las opiniones de un grupo de empresarios de PYMES.   Abstract. The paper describes the process of developing case studies for academic purposes within panamanian University, acccording to previous training and practically experience of the researchers. Specifically, it describes the experience of the applied research that produced two cases studies of Panamanian SMEs. The previous research included besides the cases, the proposal of a basic guide for writing case studies to be used for academic purposes. The cases utillity for learning and teaching purposes were validated by groups of students, and academic peers. In addition, besides sharing this experience that produced the basic guide, we considered important to explore the development of these case studies as a tool for University and Community engagement. Therefore, this paper, in addition to exploring the opinions of the first two groups on the use of case studies for academic purposes, it is complemented by a focus group lead of SME´s entrepreneurs, who explore the potential of fostering the development of this type of applied research.

This Chapter draws from studies in geography and anthropology, diasporic and postcolonial studies to explore the operation of transformation discourse within the archive showing also the importance of the emergence of a hybrid methodology for the presentation of cultural origin, contexts of digital displays and interpretation of archival materials. In particular, the chapter looks into the use of participatory forms of appraisal in the context of the creation of community archives. The case studies for this chapter include Thomas Allen Harris’s multimedia community engagement archival project Digital Diaspora Family Reunion (DDFR); ‘Creating Collaborative Catalogues’, a collaboration between Ramesh Srinivasan, Robin Boast, and Jim Enote; and a number of educational projects by the Museum of the African.

AbstractModern zoos utilise a variety of education tools for communicating with visitors. Previous research has discussed the benefits of providing multiple education communications, yet little research provides an indication of what communications are being employed within zoos today. This research is a two-phased, mixed-methods investigation into the communication between zoos and their general visitors. Phase 1 involved an online questionnaire to which 176 zoos from 50 countries reported on the types of education communications they typically use for their general visitors. The second phase comprised nine zoo case studies, enabling direct observation and face-to-face interviews on site with zoo staff and zoo visitors. The findings of this research provide a snapshot of education communications offered to zoo visitors, and indicate that zoo exhibit signage remains the most prevalent medium. The findings further indicate that 95% of visitors read at least some exhibit signs and that more than 70% of participating zoos utilise person-to-person education. The implications of these findings for improving zoos’ educational communication are discussed.
