One of the most used aspects of globalization is the continued development of instructional technology, particularly e-learning. As a result, e-learning and distance learning technologies have accelerated tremendously during the last decade. e-learning necessitates changes in development and delivery of instructional content, including altered instructional methods and the expansion of support services for e-learning activities. These new information technologies significantly influence most aspects of higher education, both globally and locally. Changes in teaching and learning have impacted everyone associated with applying technology to the global delivery of learning services. E-learning has increasingly become the vehicle of choice for many higher education institutions and corporate clients who are actively engaged in creating diverse international markets for their goods and services.","PeriodicalId":224529,"journal":{"name":"Int.

These classrooms can enhance learning by giving all students equal opportunity to share their experiences, knowledge, perspectives and insights. However, this enhanced learning is possible only through a process that is supported by appropriate tools especially technology tools. This chapter explores the issue of learning in multicultural classrooms and various tools educators can use to open up their students' minds, understand each other privileges, and gain better understanding of other people, perspectives, and cultures. Specific recommendations to meet the challenges of multicultural learning using the technology tools are also provided.","PeriodicalId":224529,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Technol. Educ.

A transition of the energy system will and must go hand in hand with a socio-political transition. Any design of learning procedures should hence take into account real-world projects, including projects on environment, climate change and energy. This chapter suggests that diverse patterns, lenses and metrics are taken into account when educating. Such an interparadigmatic approach means to focus on multiple perceptions from diverse stakeholders. Learners should be able to bridge different viewpoints by their capacity to integrate diverse values, perspectives, and views. As a concrete case study, the cooperative negotiation game “Surfing Global Change” is used to show how these educational values can be implemented. Further analyses of literature and data on didactics, climate change and economic transitions complement this chapter.","PeriodicalId":224529,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Technol. Educ.

Thus, pragmatic approaches may provide solutions and educational strategies have to prepare global society. This article proposes a “design of social processes” as a lasting global educational strategy that may enhance the societal and institutional transition to a non-fossil future, as called for by the recent Paris climate conference. In a path-dependent world, self-adaptive learning is needed, given the wide distribution of learners' profiles – and their interests. Sound education is identified as the genesis of structures that lead to changes in action. Three principles for such a design of social processes are proposed: rhythmisation, multi-perspectivism, and underdeterminism, as found in game play.","PeriodicalId":224529,"journal":{"name":"Int. J.

The article compares the managerial objectives with the responses of participating students who are the targeted audience of the marketing communications of the sponsors and examines the alignment between managerial objectives and the perceptions of participants. The quantitative data using surveys is collected from sponsors and organizers, and participants in the competition. The data is analysed using frequency tables, descriptive statistics, F-tests for equality of variances and T-tests for equality of means. The findings suggest that managers attach high importance to brand awareness (cognitive aspect), brand images and attitude (affective aspect) and less importance to brand loyalty (behavioural aspect) to enhance brand equity through sponsoring academic competitions. However, participants' responses indicate that the brand awareness aspect is not effectively realized as compared to other brand equity dimensions.","PeriodicalId":224529,"journal":{"name":"Int. J.
