Expanding upon the work of Hendley (2010) who introduced the concept of adapting the six phase Appreciative Advising framework (Bloom, Hutson, & He, 2008) to orientation leader training, this article demonstrates how to construct and implement an effective training program for orientation leaders. It provides practical application of each phase of Appreciative Advising for bother orientation training facilitators and orientation leaders. In doing so, this article demonstrates how the six phases of Appreciative Advising offer a framework that incorporates and emphasizes the development of the informational, conceptual, and relational skill sets desired from orientation leaders. This development begins during training and transcends to leaders' interaction with incoming students. Appreciative approach to training has the power to positively impact the orientation leaders as well as the new students.

Orientation directors are continually searching for a strong conceptual framework to undergird and improve their training of orientation leaders (OLs). Instead of developing a series of random, discrete training exercises, it is preferable that orientation practitioners structure and develop training using an established, proven conceptual framework. Looking beyond traditional training methods such as meetings, retreats, and employee handbooks can produce unique perspectives to revamp OL training. The purpose of this article is to advocate the use of the six phases of Appreciative Advising to enhance the training and leadership development of orientation leaders.

AbstractThe concept of hybridity sheds light on the complexity of conflict settings. It helps to analyse the participation of all parties and actors involved and entangled in a social network of normative and political power, while avoiding theoretical binaries that over-simplify the process of post-conflict peacebuilding. What lacks, however, is a practical application of hybridity in peacebuilding that actively engages with bottom/local or grassroots, top/national and international actors through mediation in the mid-space to create sustainable peace. Given this practical shortcoming of hybridity, this chapter examines mid-space actors as gatekeepers and their capacities to enable dialogue among opposing parties. The aim is to offer insights for the international community, as outside intervenors, in promoting the bridge-building potentialities of gatekeepers. Specifically, externally led efforts to engage with the specific skill sets of mid-space local actors are explored. It is argued in this chapter that such engagement provides a favourable environment for sustaining peace by overcoming power struggles in and around the mid-space.

The article discusses the issue of complying with the requirements of Article 16 of Federal Law No. 384-FL «Technical Regulations on the safety of buildings and structures» on the use of a physically and geometrically nonlinear model adequate to the soil when developing the bases and foundations of bridge supports and other transport structures, which will significantly increase the reliability and cost-effectiveness of design solutions. At the same time, it is necessary to adjust the methodological and instrument support of transport universities for the effective training of bachelor’s and master’s degree students in the methodology of practical application of the geotechnical requirements of Law No. 384-FL.

In an attempt to revamp the orientation leader training process, Towson University began using appreciative inquiry (AI) with student leaders to both plan and conduct skilldevelopment workshops. Originally crafted as an organizational development tool, AI served as a powerful way to use the collective wisdom of student leaders and built upon their desires for a more impactful training cycle to create a learning environment that was responsive to new leaders’ needs and provided the skills needed to support new students coming to the university.

System Today

The term ‘teaching-learning' intrinsically expresses the ongoing learning process that every educator constantly experiences; to teach is to learn and to engage in knowledge updation continually. Indeed, it may be argued that the very basis of being a teacher is the facilitation of one's own learning opportunities and skill sets. In investigating the evolution of teaching-learning processes at CHRIST, one may define the university's growth using the key concept of ‘innovation'. Whether it be the humanities, social sciences, life sciences, or business studies, innovations in teaching-learning methods are imperative in any globally conscious education system today. Two of the key areas of focus in terms of innovations in the teaching learning process are the practical application of knowledge and learnt skills.

Development Outcomes

Orientation leaders (OLs) play a vital role on college and university campuses. They are primarily responsible for transitioning new students into institutions, yet little is known about the learning and development outcomes of the experience. This study compares longitudinal data from 10 years of orientation leader cohorts measuring their pre-, mid-, and post-learning across a set of seven institutionally endorsed student development outcomes (SDOs). Findings indicate growth across all of the seven SDOs within each year but not from year to year. It makes a case that the orientation leader experience has a significant impact on student leader development.

New student orientation is one of the places where the meanings of institutional cultural artifacts such as campus traditions, rituals, language, architecture, and other aspects of an institution's history are communicated. After visiting three public universities, the author discovered that while orientation directors were generally aware of the significance of cultural artifacts at their institutions, it was ultimately the student orientation leaders who passed on the meanings of these artifacts on to other students (both new students and new student orientation leaders). As part of a qualitative case study utilizing focus group interviews, the orientation leaders identified formal and informal ways in which they communicate the meanings of cultural artifacts to new students.

Blockchain is a game-changing technology that has the ability to solve plenty of real-world issues in the digital age. Blockchain is a subject of huge interest in many industries and academia in terms of discovering technology and classifying challenges and innovative practical application for the industry. This study addresses the challenges that are of main concern in designing a Blockchain platform. In this regard, the problems such as privacy, regulation, security, lack of adequate skill sets, energy consumption, inefficient technology design, the criminal connection, scalability, energy consumption, and public view are discovered to be important. Due to such challenges, the blockchain technologies have emitted a negative impression due to its incapability to be successfully applied while, at the same time, its benefits could not be fully gained by its investors. The objective of this study, hence, is to assess the blockchain advantages and growth in light of the eight foundations for economic development as advocated by Ibn Khaldun. Expending Ibn Khaldun’s philosophy, each challenge is deliberated and investigated to find the answers and solutions for addressing and overcoming the afore-mentioned challenges.
