The use of active methodologies in the university is a priority to achieve higher quality learning. One of these methodologies with the greatest potential for training in competencies is Project-Oriented Learning (PLA), using it in an innovative way. Associating the use of this methodology with the objectives of sustainable development, which have become even more important since the Pandemic by COVID-19, can be a good idea to achieve a more sustained and situated learning. The aim of this study is to find out to what extent research on teaching innovation with Project-Oriented Learning is associated with the Sustainable Development Goals. A systematic review was carried out as indicated by PRISMA through the following databases: WOS and Scopus. WOS found 15 articles on AoP and 6 on Project-Oriented Learning and sustainability. In Scopus 2 were found in 2019. The main results show that in the University, especially in the branches of engineering, AoP is widely used, however, it is rarely related to SDGs. Among the conclusions, we highlight the need for research on project-oriented learning and sustainable development goals.

This paper designs multi-core and multi-channel physical education (PE) teaching innovation management platform and introduces TIM theory, so as to collect the transmission speed of video signal for different number of nuclei and the number of channels' teaching management platform. It has found from the calculating that, when the nuclear number is 1, and the channel number is 2, the speed of data transmission signal is the lowest, and the theoretical value is 5.6, the measured value is 5.5, namely the theoretical value is consistent with the measured value. When the nuclear number is 4, and the channel number is 8, the speed of data transmission signal is the highest, and the theoretical value is 9.6, the measured value is 9.7, namely the theoretical value also consistent with the measured value. So in the design of PE teaching innovation management platform, it needs to synthetically consider the nuclear number of DSP and the channels number, so as to achieve the effects of optimization design for the teaching management platform.

The development of transversal ethical competences is one of the aspects on which the efforts of the teaching innovation group “Ethics of University Teaching Staff” are focused. In this sense, the studies that have been carried out to date focus their interest on the results achieved among the students, being limited those that have been developed on the teacher. In an attempt to deepen this line of research, we present this work on the analysis of the motivations and professional commitment of university professors. The analysis resulting from this report will allow us to have a first approach to this vision from a different point to the one we had previously addressed in other works. In this way we can complete other investigations about this same profile carried out previously with students.

The idea, proposed in this work, is that who are introducing educational innovation in University teaching should focus more on the renewal of a curriculum more than in a single course's changes. University teaching innovation  often focuses on the changes introduced within a single discipline through the adoption of some educational technologies or new teaching-learning-evaluation methods,  keeping the focus only on the single discipline and not on the curriculum as a whole. With reference to the work of  Ronald Harden about the eight roles of the university teacher, we underline  the role of  Curriculum developer and implementer. Six models are proposed to classify the introduction of innovative curricula. The different ways by which Problem Based Learning was introduced in university curricula are described  as  examples of the six models.

To end this special issue, Dr. C. Keith Harrison and Reggie Saunders connected with individuals that exist at the intersection of hip-hop culture and sport. This series of interviews begins with Jemele Hill, an American sports journalist and activist. A graduate from Michigan State University, Jemele also served as an adjunct professor at the University of Central Florida from 2012 to 2014 teaching undergraduate sport business management students practical lessons about sport media. Reggie has been an adjunct faculty member at University of Central Florida since 2015, co-teaching innovation and entrepreneurship in sport/entertainment with Harrison. Reggie follows with an interview with Bun B, one half of the Texas rap duo, UGK and currently an adjunct professor at Rice University teaching a course on religion and hip-hop. New York rapper and entrepreneur, Fat Joe weighs in briefly on the topic, and Reggie closes out by interviewing rapper and Washington DC native, IDK. IDK is known for his hit song 24, and has a notable fan in Kevin Durant, National Basketball Association superstar and fellow Washington, DC native.

With the rapid development of China's economy in recent years, the scale of students has expanded gradually, which has led to many new problems, including the problems of the quality and the quantity of teachers, and the teaching facilities being insufficient. The assessment of teaching quality is one of the most important aspects of teaching management, which come to the attention of every university. Therefore, it has become the current focus in the research of university teaching. At the same time, the traditional method of teaching quality assessment has not been able to deal with the phenomenon of big data in the field of education. As a new technology, cloud computing provides a broad space for the development of a new model in the aspects of hardware environment construction, software resource development, network teaching implementation and personal knowledge management. In order to effectively deal with the challenges of big data processing in the field of education, this paper proposes a GA-SVM teaching quality assessment algorithm which is based on MapReduce. Through the design of a map function and reduce function, this paper realizes the parallelization of the GA-SVM algorithm and the selection of the main parameters. Secondly, this paper uses a genetic algorithm to optimize the penalty coefficient and kernel parameters of SVM, and then solves the problem of difficulty in determining the parameters of support vectors. In addition, we improve the sensitivity of the search through the method of logarithmic transformation, and speed up the convergence rate of the GA model. Finally, we compare the parallel algorithm and the serial algorithm on the Hadoop platform. The results of experiments show that the GA-SVM based on MapReduce is suitable for teaching quality assessment under the environment of big data.

Because professions are constantly changing and adapting, a permanent adjustment of the skills needed by professionals at any given moment is required. Universities today must take on an active role that will enable such adjustments. University teaching staff must therefore have a broad knowledge of the reality of the profession and incorporate its needs into their own dynamics. In this study we propose an approximation to the Labor Relations profession today – currently a discipline in the field of  Labor Sciences – as the context of study, highlight the role Universities must take on today as one of their constituent elements, and stress the importance of teaching-innovation processes aimed at improving the profession. We present a teaching-innovation experience developed by INVESLAB (Research and Innovation in Labor Sciences research group of the University of Valencia) that has led to the creation of the Interuniversity Network for Teaching Innovation in Labor Sciences. This Network has gone beyond the teaching imparted at just one university by incorporating lecturers from throughout Spain (the network currently comprises 53 lecturers from 16 universities) and seeks collaboration with professional entities.
