Online Youtube Lectures: the World of Lectures 2.0 Ron J Hugo Schulich School of Engineering University of Calgary, Canada Online YouTube Lectures: The World of Lectures 2.0 Ron J Hugo Schulich School of Engineering University of Calgary, Canada Objective: The modern day university was born out of a collective of charismatic scholars who were able to entertain, enthral, educate, and attract students from across Europe to cities such as Bologna, Oxford, and Paris (Hofstadter and Metzger, 1955). Although the masters often travelled to other Studia Generale across Europe to share documents and learnings, the invention of the printing press in 1450 made it possible for the learnings of one master to be delivered by another, potentially less-skilled master, at another Studium Generale. Presently, another evolution, and some would even say revolution, is taking place. It is now relatively simple for anybody to develop, record, and broadcast a lecture through media sites that have global reach (Khan, 2012). With this development, the lecture has become fully liberated. In certain respects, a reversal is now underway whereby the master, or professor if using the modern-day equivalent, can now be available to students irrespective of student location. This evolution and its ability to transform our view of the modern-day university (Bowen, 2013) is explored in this work. Approach: In the Fall of 2013, an experiment was conducted whereby a third-year (junior level) Mechanical Engineering course was offered in a blended format using YouTube for the online content delivery. Although the content was developed and delivered specifically for the 92 students registered in the University of Calgary (UCalgary) course, it was also possible for students not registered in the course to watch the content. In this blended format, face-to-face interaction was reduced by 66% and was reserved for a once-a- week active tutorial involving concept questions that related to the weekly assignments. Both electronic personal response systems and Mazur’s peer instruction technique (Mazur, 1997) were applied to the active tutorials. Engagement: An interpretation of student viewing habits was obtained by examining how Canadian (assumed to be UCalgary course registrants) and American (US) watch minutes related to the weekly cycles in a student’s life, as shown on the left in Fig. 1. It is interesting to note that Canadian watch minutes are often lower on Fridays, denoted by vertical dashed lines in Fig. 1, indicating that UCalgary students tend to do less school work on Fridays than they do on other days of the week. This trend is less pronounced for students in the US, possibly due to the fact that the watch minutes in the US are dispersed geographically, that is, not pertaining to a specific group, course or university. The lower viewing correlation also reflects differing course deadlines. Figure 1 (right) shows a plot of Canadian watch minutes, with the dashed vertical lines denoting assignments and exams. Given that watch minutes drop quickly to near zero after the final exam, it can be surmised that primarily UCalgary course registrants were watching in Canada. 1 Canada Assignments Term Exams Final Exam United States 2000 2000 1000 1000 WatchMinutes Canada(Watch Minutes) 0 0 01/09/2013 29/09/2013 27/10/2013 24/11/2013 22/12/2013 01/09/2013 29/09/2013 27/10/2013 24/11/2013 22/12/2013 Date Date Figure 1. Watch Minutes: Canada / US Weekly (left); Canada by Course Milestone (right) Results: Further detail on student viewing habits can be obtained from the contour plot in Fig. 2, showing Canadian cumulative watch minutes by lecture video segment and by day. Also indicated on this plot are the major course topics, dates of major exams, and video segments with example problems. The data indicates that student watch minutes tend to decrease as the semester progresses, as indicated by comparing cumulative watch minutes for the HVAC topic to the Gas Power Cycles topic, for example. It seems as though the students begin to lose stamina starting at about Day 60 (51 days into the term given that the course begins on Day 9). It is also noted that students take a reprieve from watching lectures when term exams take place. Finally, they appear to prepare for the final exam by watching content across the entire course (all Lecture Video Segments) versus only watching content for the last two topics (HVAC and Combustion). 2 Final Exam 1 Exam 2 Exam Example 0.000 140 Example 86.00 Combustion 172.0 Example 258.0 344.0 120 HVAC Example 430.0 Example Gas Mixtures 516.0 Example 602.0 100 Refrigeration Example 688.0 Example 774.0 860.0 Vapor Power Cycles 80 946.0 Example 1032 1118 Gas Power Cycles 1204 60 1290 Example Exergy Example 40 Example LectureVideo Segment Review 20 Example Example Course 20 40 60 80 100 120 Begins Number of Days Starting Sept 1 2013 Figure 2. Cumulative Canadian Watch Minutes by Lecture Segment and Day By examining student performance between traditional lecture-based delivery (2001-2005) and the blended delivery from 2013 (all taught and assessed by the same course instructor), Fig. 3 reveals no significant difference in student performance on the final exam. Student feedback, as quantified by the UCalgary Universal Student Ratings of Instruction (USRI) instrument, rated overall instruction for the blended delivery course in the upper 60th percentile of all third-year courses taught in Engineering during Fall 2013, despite the 66% reduction in face-to-face contact time. 2013 40 '01 - '05 35 2013: N=89, x=70.1%, =16.0% '01-'05: N=531, x=69.2%, =16.5% 30 25 20 15 PercentageStudentsof 10 5 0 20 40 60 80 100 Exam Score Figure 3. Final Exam Performance – 2013 versus 2001-2005 3 Impact: During the 17 months since the course was first uploaded to YouTube, the lectures have been viewed by individuals in over 160 countries. The geographic distribution of these viewers is compared to edX course enrollees in Fig. 4, reflecting a somewhat similar global distribution. Using Fall 2013 Canadian watch minutes and the number of students enrolled during that semester, it is possible to compute the number of minutes viewed per student per course offering. In the 17 months since the material was first uploaded to YouTube, the equivalent of over 1000 students have watched what equates to one full course. Figure 4. Geographic Distribution of Consumers This work demonstrates that students can learn as effectively with a blended delivery format as they do with a live lecture format. As the technology for online delivery improves, the overall student experience will continue to improve, and this will eventually challenge even the most gifted of live lecturers. The global reach of YouTube-based lectures achieves what the printing press once achieved, only now with a shift. With the printing press, it was possible for less-skilled masters to deliver the content of the original masters to students at geographically distributed Studia Generale. In this new evolution to Lecture 2.0, students are now able to select the masters from which they want to learn. References: Bowen, W.G. (2013).

  • The Role of Ultra-Orthodox Political Parties in Israeli Democracy
    Luke Howson University of Liverpool The Role of Ultra-Orthodox Political Parties in Israeli Democracy Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy By Luke Howson July 2014 Committee: Clive Jones, BA (Hons) MA, PhD Prof Jon Tonge, PhD 1 Luke Howson University of Liverpool © 2014 Luke Howson All Rights Reserved 2 Luke Howson University of Liverpool Abstract This thesis focuses on the role of ultra-orthodox party Shas within the Israeli state as a means to explore wider themes and divisions in Israeli society. Without underestimating the significance of security and conflict within the structure of the Israeli state, in this thesis the Arab–Jewish relationship is viewed as just one important cleavage within the Israeli state. Instead of focusing on this single cleavage, this thesis explores the complex structure of cleavages at the heart of the Israeli political system. It introduces the concept of a ‘cleavage pyramid’, whereby divisions are of different saliency to different groups. At the top of the pyramid is division between Arabs and Jews, but one rung down from this are the intra-Jewish divisions, be they religious, ethnic or political in nature. In the case of Shas, the religious and ethnic elements are the most salient. The secular–religious divide is a key fault line in Israel and one in which ultra-orthodox parties like Shas are at the forefront. They and their politically secular counterparts form a key division in Israel, and an exploration of Shas is an insightful means of exploring this division further, its history and causes, and how these groups interact politically.

November 2014 To Christoph Auhagen, Chief Brand Officer HUGO BOSS AG Dieselstrasse 12 , 72555 Metzingen [email protected] cc RA Carsten Thiel von Herff, Hugo Boss Ombudsperson Detmolder Straße 30, 33604 Bielefeld 0049/5215573330 [email protected] Complaint Poverty wages of workers producing Hugo Boss products Rationale: Europe plays an important role in the production and sales of Boss’ products According to Hugo Boss’ Sustainability Report 2013, „the Group operates production facilities in Izmir (Turkey), which is its largest in-house production location, as well as in Cleveland (USA), Metzingen (Germany), Radom (Poland) and Morrovalle (Italy).“ „The main business operations of the HUGO BOSS Group are concentrated within Europe, where the primary administrative and production sites are located.” „The Company has identified attractive growth opportunities in Eastern Europe.” „Production, logistics and administration locations in Europe (…) represent 55% of the Group's employees.” The company’s claim with regard to remuneration „The HUGO BOSS Group’s remuneration system is designed to ensure the fair and transparent compensation of employees and promote a culture of performance and dedication.” „At international locations the companies comply with the corresponding national framework conditions with regard to their pay structure. As such, entry-level wages must be at least equivalent to the statutory minimum wage.” (p. 23, Sustainability Report). The report does not account for any reality checks of these claims, let alone an indepent verification. CCC research on wages of Hugo Boss workers The Clean Clothes Campaign researched in Turkey, Central, East and South East Europe in order to find out, which conditions workers who make Hugo Boss’ clothes find themselves in – with specific focus on remuneration.

  • Executive Summary & REPORT
    SYRIANS IN TURKEY: SOCIAL ACCEPTENCE AND INTEGRATION [Novermber 2014] HUGO-M.Murat Erdoğan 0 Assoc.Prof. D r . M.M u r a t ERDO Ğ AN Executive Summary & REPORT November 2014 www.hugo.hacettepe.edu.tr SYRIANS IN TURKEY: SOCIAL ACCEPTENCE AND INTEGRATION [Novermber 2014] HUGO-M.Murat Erdoğan 1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This study titled “Syrians in Turkey: Social Acceptance and Integration” was conducted between January- October 2014. Humanitarian plight, which emerged through this unmatched, great crisis, and the debates on the culture of acceptance and integration in Turkey comprise the core of the study. Furthermore, the social experience of the Turkish migrants who went abroad in masses half a century ago provided diversity in the debates here. Considering the immensely dynamic, multidimensional and complicated nature of the process, the study has been conducted as comprehensively and detailed as possible. Rather than the theoretical framework and the debates over the issue, this study prioritizes analysis of the data from the decision-makers and specialists directly in the field through the application of different scientific methods. It is essential to ensure the sustainability of the goodwill and sacrifice demonstrated by the Turkish people who host the Syrian refugees forced out of their homes with numbers exceeding 1.565.000 by October 2014. In this study, which aims to reach the clues of peaceful coexistence, either in “temporary” or “partially permanent” forms, a team of 11 researchers from the HACETTEPE UNIVERSITY MIGRATION AND POLITICS RESEARCH CENTER has conducted in-depth interviews in 6 provinces to discover the conditions of and problems faced by refugees in Turkey and, additionally, in October 2014 survey research has been conducted in 18 provinces with 1501 people to reveal a general picture of the level of “social acceptance” regarding the issue of Syrians in Turkey.
