On LinguaMOO, hosted at the University of Texas at Dallas from circa 1999 to 2003, the author conducted a series of online chats from her apartment in Colorado -- at first, on her own, and then sponsored by the Electronic Literature Organization (ELO). She invited lecturers and the electronic literature community; served virtual tea, coffee and pastry; introduced guests and suggested topics. Discussions included archiving, tools, the differences between print literature and electronic literature, the definition of electronic literature, readers of electronic literature, and the future of electronic literature. Participants included Jane Yellowlees Douglas, Robert Kendall, Talan Memmott, Jennifer Ley, Nick Monfort, Noah Wardrip-Fruin, Stuart Moulthrop, M.D. Coverley, Stephanie Strickland, John McDaid, Bill Bly, Sue Thomas, and Katherine Hayles, among many others. In addition to discussions and participants, this chapter also details the use of MOOs for online discussion and the creation of archives for the ELO Chats.

As NCAA President, Myles Brand championed three major college sports initiatives: academic integrity, diversity, and sustainability. This paper is about the last. The first step is to distill the elements of college sports that Brand identified repeatedly in his documents and speeches on sustainability. The central elements are the NCAA definition of “amateurism”, athletic department finances, and balance between athletic and academic spending as a part of the university mission. An assessment of these three suggests that NCAA amateurism has changed since his death, in ways Brand stated should raise worries about sustainability. Finances and balance within the university have changed very little over the past ten years and appear sustainable into the future.

The problem and purpose of the research lies in the specifics of substantiating the readiness of students-choreographers for rehearsal activities. The assessment of the elaboration of the proposed research topic in the scientific and methodological literature on the art of choreography and dance pedagogy is carried out. The aim is to identify and substantiate the pedagogical conditions for increasing the efficiency of developing the skills of rehearsal activity among studentschoreographers in the process of mastering choreographic disciplines at the university. The definition of “rehearsal activity or rehearsal component of choreographic activity” has been clarified. There are four main directions for the development of pedagogical conditions. A step-by-step algorithm for rehearsal activities has been developed, which formed the basis of the pedagogical conditions for the professional readiness of a student-choreographer.

Diversity instead of race-based affirmative action developed in the United States from the Regents of the University of California v. Bakke decision in 1978 to the present. There have been both objections to this form of affirmative action and defenses of it. Fisher v. University of Texas could decide the future of all race-based affirmative action in the United States. Yet however the Fisher case is decided, there is a form of non-race-based affirmative action that all could find to be morally preferable for the future. A diversity affirmative action program could be designed to look for students who either have experienced racial discrimination themselves or who understand well, in some other way, how racism harms people in the United States, and thus are able to authoritatively and effectively speak about it in an educational context.

Entrepreneurship is recognized as an engine for the economy. However, Latin America must promote higher opportunities for the creation of new businesses, especially for technology-based ventures. In this sense, the Center for Global Innovation and Entrepreneurship (CGIE) of the University of Texas at Austin offers a Master of Science in Technology Commercialization (MCCT) that prepares students with methodologies to promote the creation of new businesses in Mexico. This study aims to know the contribution of training to the creation of new companies, and its role in the innovation and the technology transfer processes, from the viewpoint of the participants. This research presents a case study that analyzes the impact of the MCCT through the analysis of the data of a survey answered by 109 former students of this center. Findings show that the methodologies developed by the MCCT allow the creation of technology-based enterprises and entrepreneurial skills in students. This study presents good practices that can be emulated by other countries in the region, as well as recognizing the great value the role of higher education in creating synergies between actors of the innovation ecosystem that strengthen social and economic growth.

The Peer-Led Team Learning (PLTL) Program at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) is a program that provides students with the training necessary to host small workshops for students enrolled in their first two semesters of Chemistry. Peer Leaders are tasked with the responsibility of facilitating learning of Chemistry through the creation of practice problems, reviews and interactive games. As UTEP is a Latinx-serving university, a large portion of Peer Leaders and students are Latinx. Therefore, the PLTL program is empowering students through the development of Peer Leaders' leadership, and the strengthening of students' foundation in Chemistry, making them more likely to succeed in the STEM field. Peer Leaders in the program have witnessed the impact of the COVID-19pandemic on Latinx students and have found ways to adapt to the shift to online learning.

In June 2019, the University of Aveiro (UA), through the Library, Document Management and Museology Services and the Information Technology and Communication Services, in collaboration with the Research Support Office, took the first steps regarding the creation of the University of Aveiro Research Data Repository - DUnAs. The project aims to implement an open repository for the archive and publication of research data, promoting its visibility, impact and reproducibility. This work intends to highlight the strategy adopted while setting up the repository based on Dataverse, an open source platform, and the respective helpdesk service, addressing the initiatives and the phases for its implementation. The results obtained in the analysis of the Dataverse platform and the contact with researchers through the selection of pilot projects led to the definition of the deposit – curation – publication workflow and allowed the creation of a service adapted to the community.

In May 2004, the delegates of the Library Commission of the CRuI had already identified the issue of electronic publishing as one of the strategic aspects to be addressed and explored with the utmost attention. The setting up of the working group on Electronic Publishing, co-ordinated by the University of Florence, formalised this interest, stimulating the analysis of the state of the art in this field in Italy, the opportunities which it offered to the academic world and the definition of possible lines of development. The "Recommendations" comprised in this publication are addressed to the delegates of the Chancellors of the Italian universities and their collaborators, and intended to provide information and suggestions for the development of electronic publishing initiatives. They are consequently designed not only as a tool for help and guidance for those who are already moving in the direction of a University publishing initiative, but also as an invitation to reflect on the importance that electronic publishing is acquiring for the teaching and scientific activities of the future.

Abstract: This chapter describes how the University of Michigan School of Social Work’s Technical Assistance Center (UMSSW/TAC) developed its theory of change as a partner in the Skillman Foundation-funded Detroit Good Neighborhoods initiative. The definition of a theory of change accepted was of “a specification of what must be done to achieve the desired goals, what other important impacts may also be anticipated, and how these goals and impacts would be generated.” The chapter discusses the processes in the creation of iterations of Foundation and UMSSW/TAC theories of change. The chapter concludes with the benefits, limitations, issues, and challenges of aligning logic models with the varied expectations and goals of residents, funding foundations, and university partners.
