This paper describes the design and evaluation of an ERP system design course, which utilizes experiential learning theory along with open ERP sys-tem to provide the students with a holistic and cost-free learning environ-ment. The objective of the course is to familiarize students with the ERP se-lection and implementation life-cycle. When designing the pedagogical framework, the goal was to help students, especially those with little to no working experience to acquire the necessary knowledge, and develop the practical technical experience. Additionally, it was necessary to help students appreciate the depth and issues involved in the ERP system selection and implementation life-cycle. Lectures, case discussions, system demos with interactive labs, and group projects were used all together to enable in depth learning of the proposed topics. We focus on open source ERP system to provide the students with the required hands-on experience, and also to demonstrate that such approach can be utilized even by low resource universities. This paper includes details of the proposed framework. The proposed framework was taught and evaluated in a 1-semester graduate level course at the university of Jeddah, in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The course design was in-directly assessed using a survey, and the results revealed the positive impact that the proposed framework had on students’ learning outcomes. The results of the assessment support that experiential based learning using open source ERP systems can lead to improved learning outcome.

<p>This study aims to contribute to the research into the design of language podcasts. It describes the design of the podcasts used and analyses the results of a questionnaire and discusses podcast design for future language learning.</p><p>During one 12-week semester, podcasts were used in a German language intermediate class to improve student listening skills. New Zealand is a long way from a Germanspeaking country; besides being a good way to bring authentic L2 material into the classroom, we envisaged podcasts on student iPods would also be a good way to take language learning out of the classroom and integrate it into daily life. Podcasts might become part of a series of web tools, which support the teaching goal: improved learning outcomes by making the students part of a web community.</p>

The aim of this article was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Ethnic Relations Course in inculcating unity among students at the Sultan Idris Education University (UPSI). This was because the purpose of the course was to foster unity by forming a positive attitude and mind-set among the students. This study used the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, and Product) program evaluation model introduced by Stufflebeam (1967). Surveys and interviews were used to achieve all the objectives of this study. The data used were more detailed as they covered empirical and non-empirical aspects of the field of study. However, this article focused only on the learning outcomes of the Ethnic Relations Course (Product), namely, the level of unity among the students and how it is related to the demographic factors. Five findings were made in this study. Firstly, the results of the analysis revealed that the course had a positive impact on the level of unity among the students, where 99.5 percent of the respondents were able to respect their friends of other races. Secondly, 98.8 percent of the students were willing to help their friends of other races when they were in difficulties. Thirdly, 98.3 percent of the students were tolerant of each other, that is, they could sit together with those from other ethnic groups in the lecture room. Fourthly, 98 percent of them were proud of the ethnic diversity in Malaysia. Finally, the findings showed that demographic factors such as gender, ethnicity, religion and place of residence did not affect the level of unity among the students. The results of this study suggest that the students at the university have responded well to the Ethnic Relations Course and to unity. Hence, with these findings, this study dismisses the allegation that the students at the university do not mix with those of other races. The unity among the students at this university is at a good and satisfactory level.

The demand for quantitative assessment by external agencies and internal administrators can leave post-secondary instructors confused about the nature and purpose of “learning outcomes” and fearful that the demand is simply part of the increasing corporatization of the university system. This need not be the case. Writing learning outcomes has a number of benefits for course design that go beyond program assessment. This article clarifies some key aspects of the push towards using “learning outcomes,” and introduces a tripartite nomenclature for distinguishing between course “outcomes,” “outputs,” and “objectives.” It then outlines a process for instructors to use these three categories to develop and design courses that meet institutional assessment demands while also improving overall teaching effectiveness.

Student Reflections

In 2017, the University of Groningen (UG) in The Netherlands and DePaul University in the USA (DePaul) connected undergraduate students in geography courses using an Online International Exchange (OIE) assignment involving videoconferencing. Whereas many international OIE projects are designed on joint alignment principles connecting similar courses and developing similar aims and assignments, this project had a cross-course setup with diverging learning outcomes. In the UG course, OIE was a pretravel activity primarily aimed at developing disciplinary skills. DePaul implemented OIE as an intercultural awareness assignment. Through reflection on the design process and thematic analysis of student reflections, we conclude that the OIE introduced students in the DePaul course to international perceptions and encouraged self-reflection, whilethe OIE stimulated disciplinary skills and introduced intercultural awareness to the UG course. Moreover, OIE stimulated cross-cultural project management skills, increasing awareness of differing educational and urban contexts and thereby training the students in global citizenship. Therefore, this cross-course OIE shows that adapting OIE design to local curricular needs using pre-existing courses can enhance and deepen disciplinaryspecific learning outcomes through cross fertilization, and may create unexpected new learning outcomes. This expands the potential application and benefits of OIE for the internationalization of higher education.

I denne artikel præsenterer vi erfaringerne fra et projekt, der har til formål at styrke de studerendes danske, akademiske skrivefærdigheder på uddannelsen It og Sundhed på Københavns Universitet. Projektet bygger på antagelserne, at faglighed og formidlingskompetencer er tæt forbundet, og at sproglig bevidsthed inden for fagets kontekst er et fælles ansvar mellem underviser og studerende. Projektet er knyttet til bachelorkurset i Epidemiologiske metoder, og det er udviklet i samarbejde mellem kursuslederen og en sprogkonsulent i løbet af forårssemestrene 2014 og 2015. Gennem skriftlige afleveringer og formativ feedback på disse har de studerende haft mulighed for at arbejde med deres skriftlige formidling som forberedelse til den skriftlige eksamen i kurset og som styrkelse af deres akademiske skrivefærdigheder generelt. I artiklen beskriver vi baggrunden for projektet og erfaringerne med at udvikle og gennemføre det. Derudover diskuterer vi projektets udbytte samt udfordringerne med at sætte eksplicit fokus på fagets sproglige aspekt. På baggrund af de studerendes eva-luering og eksamensresultater konkluderer vi, at projektet har medvirket til at styrke deres akademiske skriftlighed. In this article, we report on experiences gained from a project designed to improve the Danish academic writing skills of students enrolled on the programme It & Health at the University of Copenhagen. Based on the assumptions that university disciplines and communicative competence are inextricably linked and that language awareness is a joint responsibility between teacher and students, the project focused explicitly on language use on the BSc course Introduction to Epidemiology. Through receiving formative feedback on written assignments, the students got the chance to reflect and work on their writing. This process acted both as preparation for their written exam and a way to improve their academic writing skills in general. The course coordinator worked with a language consultant to develop and refine the project during the spring semesters of 2014 and 2015. In this article, we describe the background to the initiative as well as the experiences of those involved. The learning outcomes are discussed, along with the challenges involved in integrating an explicit focus on language and feedback into students’ disciplinary writing. From the students’ evaluations and their exam results, we conclude that the project had a positive impact on improving the students’ academic writing skills.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to report on a life cycle assessment (LCA)-based ecodesign teaching practice via university-industry collaboration in an industrial engineering undergraduate course. Design/methodology/approach A new course was designed and taught in the Industrial Engineering undergraduate course of a Federal University in Brazil. The course comprised explanatory lectures and a practical project developed in a partnership between the university and an industry partner where students had to develop Ecodesign proposals based on LCA to improve the environmental profile of both solid and reticulated paint brushes. To that end, students used the LCA software tool Umberto NXT v.7.1.13 (educational version), where they modeled the life cycle of four plastic brushes and assessed it using the impact categories of climate change and resource consumption, and the Ecoinvent v.3.3 database. After course completion, students, professors and industry collaborators were asked to provide feedback on the project performance and expectations. Findings The course design used was welcomed by both students and the industry partner. Students found the novel approach intriguing and useful to their future careers. The results also exceeded the industry partner’s expectations, as students formulated valuable insights. Professors observed that learning was made easier, as content was put into practice and internalized more easily and solidly. The approach was found to be a win-win-win. Practical implications Students acquired a fair share of knowledge on sustainability issues and potential existing trade-offs, which is valuable to industrial practices. The industry noticed the valuable contributions that academia can provide. The university profited from providing students with a real case challenging traditional teaching methods. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is one of the first case studies to show how LCA and ecodesign teaching practice can support sustainability learning in an industrial engineering undergraduate course.
