Exploring Dual and Mixed Mode Provision of Distance Education

Exploring Dual and Mixed Mode Provision of Distance Education

This book explores issues related to people policy and places of teaching and learning resulting from the trend towards dual and multi-mode provision of distance education. It explores reasons for the trend as well as some of the opportunities and challenges which may arise. In many developing countries demand for higher education provision outstrips the supply of full-time places; while in many developed countries the cost of full-time provision means that distance and online provision may be more accessible than full-time provision. At the same time the growing use of online learning platforms has generally resulted in more flexible forms of provision. Consequently an increasing number of higher education institutions now offer dual (contact and distance or online) or multi-mode (contact and distance and online and other) forms of provision. This volume helps to navigate this changing distance education landscape. The chapters in this book were originally published in Distance Education. | Exploring Dual and Mixed Mode Provision of Distance Education

The Birth of Independent Air Power British Air Policy in the First World War

The Birth of Independent Air Power British Air Policy in the First World War

In forming the Royal Air Force on 1 April 1918 Britain created the world’s first independent air service. Britain entered the First World War with less than 200 ill-assorted flying machines divided between the army and the navy but by the end of the war the RAF mustered almost 300 000 personnel and 22 000 aircraft. Originally published in 1986 more than 65 years after the event the decision to form the RAF remained poorly understood and Malcolm Cooper presented the first detailed modern analysis of its creation shedding new light on the process by which Britain entered the air age. Set against the background of the build-up of air power during the First World War the book explains how deepening political concern at failures in home air defence public demands for retaliatory air action against Germany problems of mobilization and expansion in the aircraft industry and disagreements between the existing army and navy air services combined to create the conditions for an independent air force. The author argues that the pressures of war were insufficient to give real substance to the RAF’s independence and that its failure to escape from its wartime role as an ancillary service was also of crucial significance in the evolution of British air strategy in later years. Based on an extensive study of official documents and private papers and amply illustrated with contemporary photographs this title will prove invaluable in understanding both strategic thinking in the Great War and the early development of a form of warfare which dominated military and naval operations in the twentieth century. | The Birth of Independent Air Power British Air Policy in the First World War

The Dual-Entity of Market Competition Establishment and Development of Mezzoeconomics

The Dual-Entity of Market Competition Establishment and Development of Mezzoeconomics

The relationship between the government and the market lies at the heart of Economics as a discipline. This title approaches this issue with a new lens termed mezzoeconomics—A branch of modern economics that mainly studies regional economic entities and the allocation of regional resources after they are generated. Combining mezzoeconomic theory with practice in the light of China’s Reform and Opening-up the author analyzes the regional governments’ participation in market competition the dual entities (enterprises and regional governments) of market competition and a mature market economy featuring a strong form of effective government and efficient market. Three corresponding theories are proposed—the Regional Government Competition Theory the Dual-Entity of Market Competition Theory (DEMC) and the “Double Strong Forms” Theory. The author hopes that these theories of mezzoeconomics can build a new effective theoretical model and serve as a guidance for regional governments to reform and innovate their governance philosophy and policies. This book will be of keen interest to students and scholars of economics and regional governance. | The Dual-Entity of Market Competition Establishment and Development of Mezzoeconomics
