'Shrinking' the economy
Dr Hoffmann is a member of the International Centre for Behavioural Business Research (ICBBR) within the Nottingham University Business School(NUBS). The centre has also recently opened a new extension at The University of Nottingham, Ningbo China.
The centre's resea
In this podcast Dr Robert Hoffmann talks about how important psychology is to business and asks if we have talked ourselves into recession.
To merge or not to merge?
He examines the pros and cons of the suggestion, not in light of the recession, but in the interests of UK Higher Education as a while.

In this podcast, Dr Paul Greatrix weighs up a call for top research universities to join forces to ensure a viable international future.
'The Property Neutron Bomb'
Using a football terrace chant about the footballer (and famous buy to let landlord) Robbie Fowler for his title, Professor Leyshon explains his research with Shaun French on the subject and looks to the future of the market.
In this podast why the Buy to Let Market will likely survive the financial crisis, but also why the small scale landlord may be destroyed by what Professor Andrew Leyshon refers to as the "Property Neutron Bomb".
The day the music died
Based on his research for his paper 'The Software Slump', Professor Leyshon charts the progress of technology and the decline of the recording studio sector in the UK.
Professor Leyshon is Professor of Economic Geography in the School of Geography at The University of Nottingham.
In this podcast Professor Andrew Leyshon explains his assertion that the recording studio sector is in a deep crisis.

Motion Commotion
Students learn why and how motion occurs and what governs changes in motion, as described by Newton's three laws of motion. They gain hands-on experience with the concepts of forces, changes in motion, and action and reaction. In an associated literacy activity, students design a behavioral survey and learn basic protocol for primary research, survey design and report writing.
PLQL - The ProLearn Query Language
This deliverable provides the definition of the ProLearn Query Language (PLQL), a "query language for repositories of learning objects" defined in the context of the ProLearn Network of Excellence (WP4).,Research report of the ProLearn Network of Excellence (IST 507310), Deliverable 4.6
A Virtual Teacher Community to Facilitate
Professional Development
Information technologies revolution calls for new skills and teachers'
qualifications. In order to help secondary school education to meet the
requirements raised by the changes in information and educational
technologies, development of new curricula and supporting materials is
necessary, on the one hand, and building relevant teachers knowledge and
skills, on the other. The paper discusses the problem for supporting teachersÂ’
professional development. Building a virtual community of teachers
9.916 The Neural Basis of Visual Object Recognition in Monkeys and Humans (MIT)
Understanding the brain's remarkable ability for visual object recognition is one of the greatest challenges of brain research. The goal of this course is to provide an overview of key issues of object representation and to survey data from primate physiology and human fMRI that bear on those issues. Topics include the computational problems of object representation, the nature of object representations in the brain, the tolerance and selectivity of those representations, and the effects of atte
ATI Portal for Technology Enchanced Learning
The presented paper describes development of Advanced Training Institute (ATI) portal for Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL). The ATI portal is an interactive tool presenting FP6 NoE Kaleidoscope project competences to potential users - people who want to receive training for achieving the competences shown. The main purpose of ATI is to establish an efficient broadcast/response mechanism to propagate specific TEL request to the Kaleidoscope community and to identify existing matching competenci
A note on organizational learning and knowledge sharing in the context of communities of practice
The knowledge management (KM) literature emphasizes the impact of human factors forsuccessful implementation of KM within the organization. Isolated initiatives for promoting learning organization and team collaboration, without taking consideration of the knowledge sharing limitations and constraints can defeat further development of KM culture. As an effective instrument for knowledge sharing, communities of practice (CoP) are appearing to overcome these constraints and to foster human collabo
A Layered Framework for Evaluating Online Collaborative Learning Interactions
Evaluating on-line collaborative learning interactions is a complex task due to the variety of elements and factors that take place and intervene in the way a group of students comes together to collaborate in order to achieve a learning goal. The aim of this paper is to provide a better understanding of group interaction and determine how to best support the collaborative learning process. To that end, we propose a principled framework for the study and analysis of group interaction and group s
The Kaleidoscope Scientific Vision for Research in Technology Enhanced Learning
The objective for this document is to develop a reference text for the Network's scientific development, and for communication to others of the shared perspective of its participants. For its internal focus, it will lead to a stronger integration of the disciplines and cultures represented by the scientific communities within the Network. For its external focus it will contribute to promoting and clarifying the understanding of technology enhanced learning (TEL) in the European Research Area.

Baghera Assessment Project, designing an
hybrid and emergent educational society
The Baghera Assessment Project (BAP) has the objective to ex plore a new avenue for the design of e-Learning environments. The key features of BAP's approach are: (i) the concept of emergence in multi-agents systems as modelling framework, (ii) the shaping of a new theoretic al framework for modelling student knowledge, namely the cK¢ model. This new model has been constructed, based on the current research in cognitive science and education, to bridge research on education and research on the
17.188J Labor and Politics (MIT)
This graduate research and reading seminar examines an array of issues facing labor in today's global world. The premise of this course is that recent developments (e.g., globalization, liberalization, privatization, etc.) have created a mix of opportunities and risks for labor in most developing countries.
7.391 Concept-Centered Teaching (MIT)
Do you like teaching, but find yourself frustrated by how little students seem to learn? Would you like to try teaching, but are nervous about whether you will be any good at it? Are you interested in new research on science education? Research in science education shows that the greatest obstacle to student learning is the failure to identify and confront the misconceptions with which the students enter the class or those that they acquire during their studies. This weekly seminar course focuse
Let’s Heat Things Up!
Students observe demonstrations, and build and evaluate simple models to understand the greenhouse effect, the role of increased greenhouse gas concentration in global warming, and the implications of global warming theory for engineers, themselves and the Earth. In an associated literacy activity, students learn how a bill becomes law and research global warming legislation.
