This paper conducts in-depth research and analysis on the construction of an English digital resource library for higher education through the cloud platform. The cloud platform allows the English resource library to achieve integration, efficiency, scalability, and interactivity and then solves the problems of how to realize the co-construction and sharing of resources among multiple platforms in vocational institutions and improve the utilization rate of resources. The construction of the English resource library in higher vocational institutions cannot be separated from the collaboration between institutions and enterprises, and institutions must face up to the problems existing in the construction of the current resource library. Firstly, the requirements of various aspects of the higher vocational English digital resource library system are given from three aspects, functional requirements, performance requirements, and operational requirements, in strict accordance with the requirement analysis steps; secondly, the overall technical architecture and network topology architecture of the education cloud platform where the higher vocational English digital resource library system is located are analyzed and given in general to ensure the security, scalability, and ease of operation of this platform and then the resource collection and resource storage. The application of cloud computing technology can solve the problems of difficulty in obtaining teaching resources, insufficient storage space, limited communication, and slow circulation; it can realize the integration and integrated management of various resources through technologies such as networking, virtualization, and distributed storage. Finally, based on the optimization strategies proposed in this paper, the core modules of the higher vocational English digital resource library system are designed and implemented, and some important and representative interfaces and source codes are demonstrated. To ensure the operation performance, the situation of multiple users operating the higher-level English digital resource library system at the same time is simulated, and the overall performance of the higher-level English digital resource library system is evaluated for the common operations such as uploading resource files, downloading resource files, and querying resource files, which confirms the rationality of the design strategy in this paper and greatly improves the user experience and increases the utilization rate of teaching resources.

Aiming at the problem of low utilization rate of teaching resources, a personalized recommendation system of digital teaching resources under SCORM standard was put forward. Based on the learner's learning process, standards and personalized recommendation techniques, a SCORM digital teaching resource management model was constructed. According to the rec-ommendation algorithm of collaborative filtering in personalized recommendation technology, a digital teaching resource recommendation model based on SCORM standard was constructed. The SCORM digital teaching resource library system based on collaborative filtering technology was designed and implemented. The system was evaluated. The data of the assessment were analyzed. The results showed that the recommendation system had a good promoting effect on the learners. Therefore, the system can provide personalized recommendations for learners. It improves learning efficiency.

<span>The ALTC Exchange (formerly the Carrick Exchange), is a national repository and networking service for Australian higher education. The Exchange was designed to provide access to a repository of shared learning and teaching resources, work spaces for team members engaged in collaborative projects, and communication and networking services. The Australian Learning and Teaching Council (ALTC) established the Exchange for those who teach, manage and lead learning and teaching in higher education. As part of the research conducted to inform the development of the Exchange, models for peer review of educational resources were evaluated. For this, a design based research approach was adopted. Findings from the literature and feedback from key practitioners and leaders within the sector are discussed in this paper. Finally, key recommendations for implementation are identified.</span>

This article describes a user-centred approach taken by a group of five procurers to set specifications for the procurement of value-based research and development services for IT-supported integrated hypertension management. The approach considered the unmet needs of patients and health systems of the involved regions. The procurers established a framework for requirements and a solution design consisting of nine building blocks, divided into three domains: service delivery, devices and integration, and health care organisation. The approach included the development of questionnaires, capturing patients’ and professionals’ views on possible system functionalities, and a template collecting information about the organisation of healthcare, professionals involved and existing IT systems at the procurers’ premises. A total of 28 patients diagnosed with hypertension and 26 professionals were interviewed. The interviewees identified 98 functional requirements, grouped in the nine building blocks. A total of nine use cases and their corresponding process models were defined by the procurers’ working group. As result, a digitally enabled integrated approach to hypertension has been designed to allow citizens to learn how to prevent the development of hypertension and lead a healthy lifestyle, and to receive comprehensive, individualised treatment in close collaboration with healthcare professionals.

This chapter analyses privacy concerns of students and faculty resulting from the adoption of social media as teaching resources in higher education. In addition, the chapter focuses on privacy concerns that social media can cause to faculty when they are used for social networking. A trans-cultural study was carried out which involved three Spanish universities, a Colombian university, and an American university. A focus group was organized with PhD students to brainstorm the topic. Afterwards, 94 undergraduate students completed a survey and 18 lecturers participated in a written interview. Results indicate that social media are widely adopted in the university and are perceived as valuable resources for teaching. However, privacy concerns can easily emerge among students and faculty when these applications are used for this purpose. Concerns may appear when social media are used for social networking as well. The text also offers some guidelines to overcome them.

English Medium Instruction

The exponential growth of English-medium instruction (EMI) programs in higher education has driven to the search for new and innovative teaching resources and techniques to facilitate the teaching and learning of disciplinary content matter through a non-native language. During the last years, gamification has emerged as a great tool when it comes to foster students' motivation and, consequently, favour their learning. There are numerous ways of introducing gamification in the classroom and a high number of resources and tools available for teachers to design and implement gamification proposals. One of these tools is Classcraft, an online role-playing platform that allows the teacher to turn the classroom into a real role-playing scenario. This chapter will explore the benefits of including gamification—and more specifically Classcraft—for EMI in higher education. Exhaustive guidelines are described in order to serve as a base for EMI lecturers to implement gamification in their courses.
