To ensure the success of this program, various kinds of facilities should be provided to faculty by university like sabbatical leave, post doctoral research, participation in short term training programs, workshops etc. This will help them in understanding the work culture available to the teachers all over the world and plan reforms in their own universities to make it globally acceptable

synchronized, because we would like to have interactions between UGA and NTU students for at least 4 weeks. However in practice, this plan imposed lots of strains on the NTU students, thus by week 3 for the NTU students (early March 2012), we knew that we had to treat this course as two independent implementations of the same instructional materials. 2. The second challenge was to find appropriate instructional technologies to perform classroom capture (on the UGA side) and to deliver effectively those class recordings to NTU students asynchronously and on demand. For several years, UGA had been using Camtasia Studio to capture and process classroom recordings

, professional engineers require not only technological know-how, but also a set of key professional skills and broad understanding of contemporary issues. Critical to efforts to prepare local engineering undergraduates for careers in today’s economy, it is argued, is a rethinking of how engineers are educated. In this paper, the major aspects of calls for reform are highlighted, with a discussion of suggested pedagogical approaches and changes in learning environment that can better prepare engineers for the roles they will play in the 21st century. One set of innovations which appears to be having positive impacts in this direction are the efforts of the Arts and Science Program at a small Middle Eastern

At a neurological level, a chemically-based process of long-term potentiation isresponsible for changing synaptic connections in the brain due to persistent chemical andelectrical stimulation over time arising from the experience of the individual. Long-termpotentiation is associated with learning.
