As we consider the future of Pacific scholarship in Aotearoa–New Zealand it becomes vital to consider what we wish that future to look like and how to get there. Part of that talanoa involves considering what the possible levers of change are and whether they are capable of fulfilling our desires for change. This article outlines the different national interventions that are being made to increase Pacific engagement in Aotearoa–New Zealand’s universities, and then considers whether these interventions are fulfilling our vision for our communities. In order to deepen conversations in this space, this article also draws on critical university studies literature to help unpack the current situation and to provoke some questioning around our current trajectory.

This chapter provides an overview of virtual university studies pertaining to issues, concepts and trends. Although numerous papers, reports and booklets are published with respect to that, there is still lack of an overview of virtual universities. In this chapter, the author tries to draw basic directions of the virtual university studies and developments. These basic directions grasp virtual universities’ issues, concepts and trends in general, model, definition and basic characteristics of virtual universities in particular. The author goes on giving some educational and financial features of future higher education. It is discussed that virtual universities and distance learning are currently lacking in some areas that need to be paid attention to in the future. The chapter concludes with some recommendations for the future designers of virtual universities and distance learning programs.

Typography subject focuses on exploring typefaces using typical software and applying it to an artwork, such as a poster, advertisement, etc. In 2016, Typography 2 applied service-learning for the first time. Students were divided into several groups to make banners for street vendors in Surabaya city. This paper aims to determine the benefits obtained by participants of Typography 2 with the service-learning. In addition, to know the constraints faced as an evaluation of service-learning implementation. This study used qualitative methods, by collecting data from students' reflection on Typography 2 service learning project. The students' reflection consists of the learning they get and the obstacles or constraints. The results from service-learning implementation show many benefits are obtained, both in terms of academic and non-academic. It seems that non-academic benefits reveal more than academic benefits. Obstacles and constraints also faced during the implementation can be a meaningful input for service-learning implementation in the future. Implementation of service-learning in Typography class provides the different type and enriches case study in design subject. It also provides an assertion that service-learning as a method of learning is very good and can be applied in courses or other subject areas.

<p>Objetivo: Analizar la calidad percibida en un hospital de tercer nivel desde la perspectiva de género. Métodos: Análisis de los cuestionarios de satisfacción a los/las pacientes ingresados/as durante octubre y noviembre 2003-2005 con el test de la T de Student-Fisher y la prueba de 2. Resultados: De los 2660 cuestionarios, 44,7% fueron de hombres, 55,55 ± 17,3 años, y 53,3% de mujeres, 48 ± 18,4 años. El 36% tenía estudios primarios, 18% formación profesional y el 22% universitarios. Los hombres conocían las normas de hospitalización y el nombre del médico/a mejor que las mujeres (p &lt; 0.0001). Las mujeres se consideraron mejor informadas sobre su enfermedad que los hombres (p &lt; 0.05). Ambos grupos volverían a elegir el mismo centro. Conclusión: Las diferencias en la calidad percibida entre ambos sexos sugieren que el género debería contemplarse en sistemas organizativos centrados en los cuidados del paciente.</p><p>Objective: To analyse the perceived assistance quality of third level hospital inpatients, carrying out an essay that takes in account only the gender of the surveyed. Methods: Descriptive analysis of surveys of the inpatients between October and November 2003-2005 with the T of Student-Fisher and the 2 tests respectively. Results: From 2660 surveyed, 44,7% were men aged 55,55 ± 17,3, and 53,3% were women aged 48 ± 18,4. 36% had a primary school degree, 18% professional and 22% university studies. Men were considered better informed than women about hospitalization rules and knew better the name of their doctors (p &lt; 0.0001). Women were better informed about their illness (p &lt; 0.05). There was no difference in the choice of the same centre for the future. Conclusions: The perceived assistance quality is influenced by gender, so it should be taken into account in organizing systems oriented to satisfying the patient needs.<br /><br /></p>
