У статті здійснено аналіз особливостей діяльності економічного факультету Массачусетського технологічного інституту. Акцентовано увагу на тому, що університет відіграє ключову роль у розвитку багатьох галузей сучасної науки і практики. Установлено, що значний внесок у розвиток економічного факультету на базі Школи гуманітарних, художніх і соціальних наук зробив Ф. Уокер – заслужений економіст, член Національної академії наук США, третій президент Массачусетського технологічного інституту. У ході дослідження простежено навчальні завдання, що висуваються перед викладачами під час підготовки бакалаврів, магістрів та докторів філософії з економіки, окреслено фахові дисципліни (обов’язкові та вибіркові), визначено методи навчання, зокрема інтерактивні, наприклад, «case study», ділові ігри, господарські ситуації, робота над реальними проєктами державних службовців чи приватних корпорацій, що використовуються як під час аудиторної, так і самостійної роботи. З’ясовано, що інститут впроваджує новітні методи викладання не лише в межах США, а й шляхом дистанційного навчання, виходить на міжнародний рівень, зокрема за допомогою проєктів MIT OpenCourseWare, MITx та MicroMasters. На підставі аналізу навчальних програм, що пропонуються на економічному факультеті, узагальнено компетенції випускників-економістів Массачусетського технологічного інституту. Досвід МТІ показує, що сучасна економічна освіта США передбачає оволодіння освітніми ступенями бакалавра (Undergraduate level), магістра (Graduate level) та доктора філософії (PhD). Підготовка фахівців економічного профілю полягає у вивченні таких дисциплін, як: політична економія, мікро- та макроекономіка, теорія ймовірності, статистика, економіко-математичне моделювання, економічне застосування теорії ігор, фінансові ринки, маркетинг, економічний розвиток, міжнародна економіка та багато інших. Серед провідних методів навчання визначено інтерактивні методи («case study», ділові ігри, господарські ситуації, робота над бізнес-проєктами, ланч-семінари, польові обіди тощо).

This chapter is a teaching case study which draws on Kolb's experiential learning model and Latour's Actor-Network theory, specifically, the ideas of learning as a process rather than as an outcome and of technological space as a cross-cultural network actor. The authors report on a collaboration between undergraduate-level students at a US university and graduate-level students at a Russian university within the Trans-Atlantic and Pacific Project originated to set up international academic collaborations. The chapter provides a theoretically grounded description of the project's successes and failures as well as guidance for teachers wishing to use experiential learning through networking as an instruction tool.

Grammatical Structures

English grammar is how words in the English language are translated into text. This includes the structure of words, phrases, clauses, and phrases, up to and including full-text structure. The main objective of the authors is to discover the difficulties of grammatical structures for students at the Department of Teacher Education. Shikarpur Shaikh Ayaz University. The students of B.Ed. undergraduate level of education department was selected as a data population. The fifty students were randomly selected from the education department. There is quantitative research underway. The researchers used a testing tool for a questionnaire. The student's collected data were analyzed by SPSS-Descriptive statistics.  Some of the challenges and problems are facing during the English Grammar lesson of B.Ed. students. The students have used the conditional verb and also the proper use of a phrasal verb that is one of the problems with students. The use of an article is also one of the fundamental problems for undergraduate students. Teachers should make it possible for students to practice these materials either through activity-based teaching or through the CLT method so that they can be more attentive to EFL learning and not focus on translation alone.

Current Experience

Interest is growing in educational designs that blend MOOCs with on-campus teaching and researchers are seeking to incorporate the spirit of a MOOC into a hybrid model. This article reports on the current experience of a higher education institution embarking on blended learning models. The aim of this article is to present a case study and to discuss the strategic approach to integrating a MOOC at undergraduate level. The evaluation strategy of this experience uses surveys and focus groups to interpret the results and the perspective of the various stakeholders. The analysis synthesizes the opinion of the main stakeholders – the institution, the students and the academic staff – and shows that in addition to improving the financial viability of MOOCs, blended learning models improve the quality of students' education, strengthen students' academic performance, and encourage academic staff to constantly innovate their teaching and learning process.

New Challenges

As recommender systems are making inroads to e-learning, the new ecosystem is placing new challenges on them. This Chapter discusses the author’s experiences of adding recommender features to additional reading materials listing page in an undergraduate-level course. Discussion is based on use-log and student questionnaire data. Students could both add materials to lecture readings and peer-evaluate the pertinence of the materials by rating and commenting them. Students were required to add one material and rate five as part of the course requirements. Overall, students perceived the system as useful and did not resent compulsoriness. In addition, perceived social presence promoted social behavior in many students. However, many students rated materials without viewing them, thus undermining the reliability of aggregated ratings. Consequently, while recommenders can enhance the e-learner experience, they need to be robust against some students trying to get points without earning them.

Future Topics

Colleges and Universities across the world have developed Mechatronics courses, programs, certificates, and even degrees in order to meet the increasing demands of Mechatronics products and engineers. These Mechatronics courses, mainly focusing on undergraduate level, consist of lecture presentations, well-designed laboratory experiments, and team projects. However, how to teach Mechatronics courses at graduate level remains to be an open area for discussion. The challenge is: what subjects should be addressed, at the graduate level, to closely reflect the latest Mechatronics technologies with much broad coverage and fast growing features, while distinguished from an undergraduate-level Mechatronics course. This paper discusses the approaches that the author used when teaching a graduate level Mechatronics course (ME285 Mechatronics Systems Engineering) at San Jose State University (SJSU). The course outline, laboratory experiments, and sample course projects are presented. The goal is to provide graduate students with a challenging, timely, hands-on, minds-on, and enjoyable experience in advanced Mechatronics. A suggestion of future topics for graduate Mechatronics education is also discussed.

PsycBOOKS is a subscription e-book collection produced by the American Psychological Association (APA) containing over 4,000 titles and 48,000 chapters covering psychology and its related disciplines. In addition to its holdings of classic titles from as early as 1597 and the latest releases from APA Books, PsycBOOKS also provides access to the APA Handbooks in Psychology Series and the Encyclopedia of Psychology. PsycBOOKS is integrated with the APA Thesaurus of Psychological Index Terms for more exact index searching. The PsycNET interface is intuitive and comparable to that of similar databases. The majority of the collection dates from 1597 to 1999, which indicates that while still valuable at the undergraduate level, PsycBOOKS is a notable repository for classic psychological titles and may be best suited for graduate level students and faculty. While a valuable database for those seeking classic titles in psychology and precision of index searching, the relatively low percentage of titles published in the last five years and the limitation to publications from APA Books may decrease its appeal for institutions seeking more current content from a variety of scholarly publishers.

In developing countries, the number of experts and students in geo-informatics domain are very limited compared to experts and students of sciences that could benefit from geo-informatics. In this research, we study the possibility of providing an online education system for teaching geo-informatics at under-graduate level. The hypothesis is that in developing countries, such as Iran, a web-based geo-education system can greatly improve the quantity and quality of knowledge of students in undergraduate level, which is an important step that has to be made in regard of the famous "Geo for all" motto. As a technology for conducting natural and social studies, geo-informatics offers new ways of viewing, representing and analysing information for transformative learning and teaching. Therefore, we design and present a conceptual framework of an education system and elaborate its components as well as the free and open source services and software packages that could be used in this framework for a specific case study: the Web GIS course. The goal of the proposed framework is to develop experimental GI-services in a service-oriented platform for education purposes. Finally, the paper ends with concluding remarks and some tips for future research direction.
