221. Teacher Im/material: academic teaching and the new pedagogics of instructional design

Author

McWilliam, Erica L., Taylor, Peter G., McWilliam, Erica L., and Taylor, Peter G.

Abstract

The authors critique the increasingly technologized teaching and learning environment of higher education. They argue that fresh pedagogical understandings are needed to inform thinking about instructional design.While the imperative to use communication technologies to increase learner access is laudable, the question of ‘access to what’ should also be addressed in all its complexity. Disparate terrains of new literature about teaching and learning, technology and corporeality can bring fresh perspectives to bear on the nature of pedagogical work. However such literatures are rarely brought together. In this paper the authors work across aspects of learning theory, critical theory and post structuralism to explore the question ‘access to what’. In so doing they raise important questions about the embodied nature of teaching and learning, and the potential of both ‘embodied’ and ‘disembodied’ teaching to produce and counter marginalization. The argument is that all decisions about the appropriateness of particular pedagogical practices must engage with such questions.

228. Flexibility, Technology and Academics' Practices : Tantalising Tales and Muddy Maps

Author

Taylor, Peter G., Lopez, Lucy, Quadrelli, Carol A., Taylor, Peter G., Lopez, Lucy, and Quadrelli, Carol A.

Abstract

The project investigated the relationships between diversification in modes ofdelivery, use of information and communication technologies, academics’ teaching practices, and the context in which those practices are employed, in two of the three large universities in Brisbane—Griffith University and the Queensland University of Technology (QUT). The project’s initial plan involved the investigation of two sites: Queensland University of Technology’s Faculty of Education (Kelvin Grove campus) and Griffith University’s Faculty of Humanities(Nathan campus). Interviews associated with the Faculty of Education led to a decision to include a third site—the School of Law within Queensland University of Technology’s Faculty of Law, which is based on the Gardens Point Campus. Here the investigation focused on the use of computer-based flexible learning practices, as distinct from the more text-based practices identified within the original two sites.

229. Two Issues Surrounding Parrondo's Paradox.

Author

Başar, Tamer, Bernhard, Pierre, Falcone, Maurizio, Filar, Jerzy, Haurie, Alain, Melikyan, Arik A., Petrosjan, Leo, Rapaport, Alain, Shina, Josef, Nowak, Andrzej S., Szajowski, Krzysztof, Costa, Andre, Fackrell, Mark, and Taylor, Peter G.

Abstract

In the original version of Parrondo's paradox, two losing sequences of games of chance are combined to form a winning sequence. The games in the first sequence depend on a single parameter p, while those in the second depend on two parameters p1 and p2. The paradox is said to occur because there exist choices of p, p1 and p2 such that the individual sequences of games are losing but a sequence constructed by choosing randomly between the games at each step is winning. At first sight, such behavior seems surprising. However, we contend in this paper that it should not be seen as surprising. On the contrary, we showthat such behaviour is typical in situations in which we randomly create a sequence from games whose winning regions can be defined on the same parameter space. Before we discuss this issue, we investigate in some detail the issue of when sequences of games, such as those proposed by Parrondo, should be considered to be winning, losing or fair.

232. Parrondo’s paradoxical games and the discrete Brownian ratchet.

Abstract

We introduce Parrondo’s paradox that involves games of chance. We consider two fair games. A and B, both of which can be made to lose by changing a biasing parameter. The apparently paradoxical situation arises when the two games are played in any alternating order. A winning expectation is produced, even though both games A and B are losing when we play them individually. We develop an explanation of the phenomenon in terms of a Brownian ratchet model, and also develop a mathematical analysis using discrete-time Markov chains. From the analysis we investigate the regions of parameter space in which Parrondo’s paradox can occur. We also consider some open questions that arise from this paradox and possible areas it could be applied. © 2000 American Institute of Physics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

233. Information entropy and parrondo’s discrete-time ratchet.

Author

Subjects
ENTROPY, DISCRETE-time systems
Abstract

Parrondo’s paradox involves two losing games of chance. The paradox is that a winning situation is produced when the two games are played in a random sequence in accordance with fixed probabilities. In this paper we investigate the relationship between these parameters and the entropy rates of the games. © 2000 American Institute of Physics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

244. Energy in low carbon cities and social learning: A process for defining priority research questions with UK stakeholders.

Abstract

Highlights: [•] We test a process for identifying research questions with practitioners. [•] We identify 51 priority research questions relating to energy in UK cities. [•] Academic research priorities are largely congruent with practitioner priorities. [•] Academic research emphasizes links between energy systems and other urban systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
