MOOCs have become a new type of teaching mode, which has attracted wide\nattention of researchers and formed rich research results. This paper summarizes\nthe characteristics of the teaching mode of MOOCs, the interaction between\nâ??teachingâ? and â??studyâ? in the teaching mode of MOOCs, the influence\nof the teaching mode of MOOCs on traditional teaching, the advantages and\ndisadvantages of the teaching mode of MOOCs and the improvement strategy,\nin order to deepen the understanding of the study of the MOOCs teaching\nmodel. Through the review, the article believes that there are three shortcomings\nin the current research on MOOCs: the lack of research on the improvement\nstrategy of MOOCs, the lack of empirical analysis on the study of\nMOOCs and the lack of rational reflection on the study of MOOCs....
The internationalization of higher education has become the mainstream\ntrend of the development of the world education system. Since entering the\nperiod of knowledge education, cross-border higher education has gradually\nbecome one of the research topics of the teachers of higher education. The\npolicy system for the internationalization of Chinaâ??s higher education is constantly\nimproving, and the number of international students is increasing,\nand great progress has been made in many aspects. This paper takes knowledge\neducation as the background of the subject research, and elaborates the\ndevelopment status of cross-border higher education work based on practical\nproblems. It is expected to help the teachers in the industry to better improve\nthe actual teaching standards, and thus promote the development of Chinaâ??s\nhigher education internationalization....
The study examined the effect of distributive justice on customer post-complaint\nbehaviour. The need for this study has become very demanding because a\ndissatisfied customer will imply that the company runs risk of operating at\nreduced state of future revenue stream accruable to the focal company. Data\nwere drawn through questionnaire from 200 employees of 66 fast food firms\nin Rivers State. Descriptive and inferential statistics were utilized in analysing\nthe data. The study found that distributive justice has a positive and significant\nrelationship with customer post-complaint behaviour. In view of the\nabove findings, the study concludes that customers who experience dissatisfaction\nwill be willing to enact positive post-complaint behaviours if the firm\naddresses their issues satisfactorily; and recommend amongst others that\nmanagement of fast food firms should be key in effective distributive justice in\norder to drive customers towards positive post-complaint behaviour....
Purpose: The aim was to find the ideal time for the patients to know all the necessary\ninformation about their health from the doctor in the clinic and increase\nthe performance of clinics in a better way. Methods: Observational study\nwas conducted at the General Surgery and Cardiology clinics in general outpatient\ndepartment of a tertiary care hospital in Riyadh, from Feb 2016 to Mar\n2017. The time points of 202 randomly selected patientsâ??Arrival time, Appointment\ntime, Entry time & Exit time were recorded using a standardized\nquestionnaire and analyzed using SPSS 21. Results: From Cardiology department,\n60 (58.8%) from the forenoon clinic, 42 (41.2%) post noon clinics and\nthat of General surgery department, 76 (76.0%) were from the forenoon and 24\n(24.0%) post noon clinics. The overall median waiting time was 29 mts with interquartile\nrange from (11 - 51) mts and a 95% confidence interval for mean\nbetween (29 - 41) mts for cardiology and for general surgery, it was 24 mts with\ninterquartile range from 6 mts to 1 hr and 4 mts. The median utilization time\nwas 8 mts with an interquartile range (5 - 11) mts for cardiology and 10 mts\nwith an interquartile range (10 - 15) mts for general surgery respectively. The\nPearsonâ??s coefficient of correlation between entry time & exit time was r =\n+0.96 (P < 0.001) for Cardiology and r = +0.66 (P < 0.001) for general surgery.\nConclusions: This study was useful in assessing clinic efficiency and patient\nflow. A significant relationship was detected between allocated time and actual\ntime spent by the patient in the clinic. This data helped in designing interventions\nthat increase efficient use of resources and improve scheduling patterns....
Over the last two decades, disaster events have affected tourist destinations in\nmany countries around the world. Although disasters have attracted considerable\nattention in academia, little attention has been paid to the impacts of\nrecurring disasters on the multiyear performance of the tourism industry in a\nspecific country. This paper discusses the relationship between the performance\nof the tourism industry and disaster events and examines the spillover effects of\ndisasters on the tourism sector in Indonesia. It also highlights the Indonesian\npolicy responses in tourism following multiple disasters. The paper analyses the\nmultiyear (1998-2016) performance of the tourism industry using the variables\nnumber of inbound tourists, national/regional income from tourism, and hotel\nroom occupancy rates. Secondary data were collected from several sources, including\nlegal documents, Indonesiaâ??s tourism statistics, media outlets and\nnewspapers articles. The results show that during the past 18 years, disasters\nhave affected the performance of the tourism industry differently in terms of\nthe scale of destruction, the location of disasters and the type of disasters (human\nvs. nature induced). The spillover effect between provinces has also been\ncaptured from the data. Overall, this paper argues that in dealing with multiple\ndisasters over long periods of time, the continuation of regular tourism activities\nneeds a structural approach in terms of policy responses....
