Critique of Postmodern Ethics of Alterity versus Embodied (Muslim) Others: Incompatibility, Diversio
In this dissertation, I investigated postmodern alterity, constructivism, and agency through addressing their translatability and implications. In Chapter One, I critiqued postmodern main concepts of alterity and constructivism, showing that these terms can be vague and counterproductive unless they are attenuated with political socio-cultural realities. In Chapter Two, through analyzing modern texts, I explored claims that Western epistemology/ontology reduces the other to the Same. Although su

Numeracy Basics - interactive quiz (Part 2)
Part 2 of the SCORM object of the Numeracy Basics - interactive quiz split into four smaller SCORM modules tested on X-Stream VISTA.

SCORM 2004 supposedly supports this – one can revisit this statistic when a new LMS is out that supports SCORM 2004 (Blackboard 9 is supposed to do this, but in its current pilot setup here at LeedsMet SCORM does no
