  • Uop Financial Review 2020 ACCESSIBLE FILE UPDATE
    FINANCIAL REVIEW FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2020 Higher Education Corporation WELCOME FROM THE CHAIR OF GOVERNORS AND THE VICE-CHANCELLOR This has been a significant and memorable year for the University, and the Covid-19 pandemic has also made it a turbulent one both for the country and for the higher education sector. As these Financial Statements show, our sustained careful and prudent management of the University’s finances over many years will enable us to adapt and face the challenges ahead with greater certainty and confidence than might be the case elsewhere. Earlier in the year, we launched our exciting new University Strategy and Vision. By 2030, we will be the top modern university in the UK and one of the top 100 young universities in the world. That is our bold aspiration. Our Strategy is ambitious – and with good reason. We are a university that is focussed on real-world solutions and making a real difference to society. In 2017, we were awarded Gold in the Teaching Excellence Framework – the highest rating for teaching quality and in 2019 we were awarded £5.8 million by Research England to develop our plastics recycling research – the largest single research award in the University’s history. We are proud of our City and our heritage. Our outreach work with Portsmouth Football Club and Pompey in the Community, for example, brings the University into contact with many within our City and further afield who would otherwise not see education as an attainable pathway. Likewise, the recent pandemic has strengthened our links with our community as staff have volunteered to work in the “frontline” alongside other organisations to tackle the virus, our equipment and facilities have been utilised and loaned, and staff have designed and manufactured protective equipment to keep people safe.

These email defects relate to the ineffective way that email is used within organisations, and are not only limited to the volume of email that is sent and received, but also the quality of the email content. Email defects lead to inefficiencies within the workplace as employees spend more time dealing with email rather than doing other aspects of their job. This paper firstly examines how email is used within a large organisation and highlights the defects associated with email. The initial results show that these defects affect some groups of employees more than others. The paper also reports on the effectiveness of email training in reducing the defects associated with email use. The results show that some of these defects are related and that training can significantly reduce some of the email defects and improve the way people write emails. Key Words: Email, Electronic communication, Employee training, Employee productivity. *Corresponding author.

This research explores the potential of emerging interactive digital media to engage children affected by an ASD, and the development of design strategies for future professional work in this field. This is accomplished through a literature and state of the art review, and by working alongside families and professionals involved in the provision of care for children with an ASD.
