The value of student participation in hiring committees at the college level is the focus of this chapter. Students, identified as “selectors,” participated in all aspects of hiring toward a “best” candidate. Student selectors, from two types of student employees within the structure of a university student union, and two hiring processes are assessed (referred to as student activities and facilities). A guided questionnaire is used to investigate skill development gained, used, and eventually transferred to experiences after graduation. Two models frame the plan. Surveys and focus groups are based on Kirkpatrick's and Kirkpatrick's (2006) The Four Levels. The development of a systematic evaluation plan is based on Caffarella's (2002) Interactive Program Planning Model. Exploring the value of experiential learning in student employment settings is a key to the assessment approach. An appraisal of the student experience, when environments are intentionally created to give students the chance to practice, use, and build skills in real life scenarios, had not been evidenced previously in a formal way. Furthermore, an inquiry of transfer of learning post-graduation is examined.

This chapter highlights the major issues in the use of broadband technologies in health care in developing countries. The use of Internet technologies in the health sector has immense potential in developing countries, especially in the context of public health programs. Some of the main uses of information and communication technologies (ICT) in health include remote consultations and diagnosis, information dissemination and networking between health providers, user groups, and forums, Internet-based disease surveillance and identification of target groups for health interventions, facilitation of health research and support to health care delivery, and administration. The technology has immense potential, but is also constrained by lack of policy direction, problems with access to technology, and lack of suitable infrastructure in developing nations. However, given its crucial role in public health, comprehensive efforts are required from all concerned stakeholders if universal e-health is to become a reality.

Hasil penelitian ini adalah ditemukan perbedaan pembingkaian dalam berita yang dimunculkan oleh detik.com membingkai komunikasi pemerintah sebagai permasalahan serius, kompas.com membingkai komunikasi pemerintah sebagai isu krusial dan kumparan.com membingkai isu komunikasi pemerintah dari aspek politik. Sementara dari aspek seleksi isu, detik.com lebih kepada permasalahan yang berdampak langsung terhadap masyarakat, kompas.com lebih kepada permasalahan komunikasi pemerintah dan kumparan.com lebih kepada permasalahan juru bicara. Kemudian aspek penonjolan, detik.com cenderung menonjolkan diksi berkonotasi dan narasumber kritis, kompas.com lebih menonjolkan kritikan membangun dan kumparan.com cenderung menyudutkan pemerintah.   Kata Kunci: Framing, Berita Komunikasi Pemerintah, Covid-19   ABSTRACT One of the successful handling of Covid-19 in one country is the government's ability to communicate with the public.

English language, as a global lingua franca, has its own respect and importance throughout the world. It is considered to be the shrine of knowledge. It is significant to acquire the English language proficiency, to be placed in good jobs. Though every college gives prime importance to English language, unfortunately most of the students fail to acquire good command over the language. In certain cases, students have the poor ability to comprehend learning at the college level because of their different educational background or capability. There are certain hurdles that affect the students from learning the language. Cognizance is an important component of the tertiary level students. Enriching cognizance of students refers to how the learners develop their knowledge in order to get a better idea of learning, awareness of the language skills they notice, and the observation of language learning. The objective of cognizance is to provide more knowledge to students. It promotes self-motivation of the students and enhances their basic skills of learning. Cognitive skill develops the student’s learning skills, notice, recollection and thoughts. This article deals with how cognizance in language learning is developed and thereby to sharpen their skills of learning. Furthermore, this paper analyses the causes and effects of the students’ transitional dilemma at the tertiary level in acquiring language efficacy. It offers some ideas and results based on the problems among the students in attaining the fluency in communication through developing cognition skills. Moreover, the study proposes to help the students to achieve the objective of education.
