E-Learning offers many opportunities for individuals and institutions all over the world. Individuals can access to education they need almost anytime and anywhere they are ready to. Institutions are able to provide more cost-effective training to their employees. E-learning context is very important. It is common to find educators who perceive e-learning as internet-only education that encourages a static and content-focused series of text pages on screen. Others envisage the shallow and random online messages that are typical of a social real-time chat session, and wonder how that type of communication could add any value to academic discourse. Some may have experienced e-learning done poorly, and extrapolate their experience into a negative impression of all e-learning. The book will examine the emergence and growth of e-learning. The use of the "e" prefix indicates the application of information and communication technology (ICT) in government, finance, and all forms of socio-economic and community development. This eBook is designed and presented in two volumes. The first volume consists of the country cases of Algeria, Belarus, Bulgaria, Egypt, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Jordan, Hungary, Iraq, Iran, Israel, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Moldova, and Morocco. The second volume gives a place to the country cases of Norway, Oman, Palestine, Poland, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, Syria, Tajikistan, Tunisia, Turkey, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates and Uzbekistan. So, the book consists of more than 70 authors from 39 different countries and from 42 universities and 14 institutions with company for all 42 chapters. (Individual chapters contain references.) ["Cases on Challenges Facing E-Learning and National Development: Institutional Studies and Practices. Volume II" was co-edited by Leena Vainio, Mehmet Can Sahin, Gulsun Kurubacak, Petri T. Lounaskorpi, S. Raja Rao, and Carlos Machado. For Volume I, see ED508217.].
"This book includes a selection of world-class chapters addressing current research, case studies, best practices, pedagogical approaches and strategies, related resources and projects related to e-learing"--Provided by publisher.
Proceedings of the Polish Astronomical Society Polskie Towarzystwo Astronomiczne wydaje serię wydawniczą "Proceedings of the Polish Astronomical Society" z materiałami z konferencji o tematyce astronomicznej. Artykuły są publikowane w języku angielskim, aby wydawnictwo miało zasięg międzynarodowy. Seria obejmuje w szczególności materiały ze Zjazdów Polskiego Towarzystwa Astronomicznego, które odbywają się co dwa lata i gromadzą większość polskich astronomów zawodowych, stanowiąc tym samym przegląd bieżącej tematyki badawczej krajowej astronomii. Tom 1 zawiera materiały z XXVII Zjazdu Polskiego Towarzystwa Astronomicznego, który odbył się w dniach 11-14.09.2013 r. w Centrum Astronomicznym im. Mikołaja Kopernika PAN w Warszawie.
