The role of education in reducing recidivism

Helen Farley

Virtual worlds (VWs) are providing welcome opportunities for the development of innovative curricula for tertiary educators. These environments potentially allow them to give their students authentic learning experiences that resemble real life tasks and scenarios. In addition, virtual worlds are extremely useful when training students to perform tasks that are too expensive or dangerous to perform in real life (Adams, Klowden, & Hannaford, 2001). Well-designed simulations implemented in these environments can provide risk-averse and cost-effective simulations of authentic contexts that can facilitate optimal learning, especially when enhanced with the capability for tactile precision and haptic feedback. This chapter, while acknowledging the enormous potential of virtual worlds for higher education, will investigate the range of challenges also associated with implementing these environments into curricula. These include the use of appropriate pedagogical models and the large learning curve for novice users. The chapter will conclude with a discussion of how these challenges can be mitigated, taking into account the latest technical developments in virtual worlds and associated hardware.

Virtual Worlds in Higher Education: The Challenges, Expectations and Delivery

In the decade and a half since the beginning of the new millennium, mobile computing technologies have evolved rapidly, enabling increasingly sophisticated methods of communication and interaction. As a result of the incremental improvements in design, tendency towards reduced size, increased functionality, improvements in data storage capability, and the reliability and ubiquity of the networks that support them, mobile technologies are increasingly perceived as essential to the conduct of people’s everyday lives (Evans-Cowley, 2010).

Evaluation of mobile teaching and learning projects, introduction

Mobile learning is a very exciting approach to learning that has the possibility of changing nursing education, providing learning to nurses when and where they need it and in a manner that will achieve positive learning outcomes. Coming from an apprenticeship model in the military, nurses have traditionally learnt by seeing and then doing. Mobile learning through means such as You Tube and augmented reality offer the best of this traditional way of learning combined with time and cost efficient means of technology use and greater theoretical knowledge. Reaching nurses in rural and isolated communities is also possible through these means. This is achieved through the use of SMS and online learning, that is able to be used at a time and place suitable for the nurse, enabling them to include learning within their lives in a way that suits them. Many isolated trials have occurred in nursing education over the years, starting with the use of PDA’s and although many have shown success there is not a great deal of research been conducted in the use of mobile education in nursing. Considering this research was conducted using a grounded theory approach that investigated nurse’s current use of mobile technology and their beliefs around mobile learning. The study also explored how and when nurses are undertaking continuing education, with the discovery of how they personally resource their learning. When looking at trials of mobile learning within nursing education, it is apparent from these trials and the study that nurses are ready for mobile learning and that mobile learning shows great potential as a method for education within the nursing profession.

Mobile learning initiatives in nursing education

Mobile learning has been adopted to a varying extent across the countries of Southeast Asia. Though mobile learning initiatives in the UK, Europe, the United States and Australia are well-documented, much less in known is known about mobile learning initiatives in Southeast Asia. This region is culturally and economically diverse, containing both developed countries such as Singapore and developing countries including East Timor. This range of economic development means that the penetration of telecommunications technologies, including infrastructure to support mobile and internet networks, varies vastly and the extent to which this technology is used for learning, similarly varies. This chapter begins with an examination of the mobile device market penetration in the various countries of Southeast Asia and the particular demographics of those users. Internet censorship potentially will impact on mobile learning initiatives in some countries and this is examined briefly. The status of mobile learning in a cross-section of Southeast Asian countries will be examined, with a particular focus on government policies, critical infrastructure and notable mobile learning initiatives. The chapter concludes with a review of the enablers and barriers to mobile learning in Southeast Asia and a look at future directions.

Mobile learning in Southeast Asia: Opportunities and challenges

Mobile learning is viewed by many institutional leaders as the solution for a student cohort that is demanding an increasingly flexibility in study options. These students are fitting study around other aspects of their lives including work and caring responsibilities, or they are studying at a geographical location far removed from the university campus. With ubiquitous connectivity available in many parts of the world and with the incremental improvements in design and affordability of mobile devices, many students are using mobile technologies to access course materials and activities. Even so, there are relatively few formal mobile learning initiatives underway and even fewer evaluations of those initiatives. This is significant because without a rigorous evaluation of mobile learning, it is impossible to determine whether it provides a viable and cost-effective way of accessing courses for both the student and the institution. This chapter examines the broad groupings of uses for mobile devices for learning, before considering the evaluation frameworks that are currently in use. The characteristics, affordances and issues of these frameworks are briefly discussed. A project to develop a Mobile Learning Evaluation Framework is introduced, which will consider evaluation from four aspects: 1) Pedagogical (Learning); 2) Pedagogical (Teaching); 3) Technical; and 4) Organizational.

The healthcare industry is rapidly evolving in tandem with a demand for increased flexibility in the delivery of education in our fast-paced society. As a result, the passive reception of content by students, delivered by an expert from the front of the class, is becoming increasingly redundant. Students are now being taught, ubiquitous connectivity allowing widespread access to online materials (Collier, Gray, & Ahn, 2011). Programs such as nursing are often offered in an external, online delivery mode (Wright, 2013). Due to an increasingly aging population, healthcare is by far one of the fastest-growing industries, and graduate job seekers choosing to enter healthcare, will need to ensure they have developed sound digital literacies, particularly as they apply to professional communication. It is imperative that students develop and leverage emerging communication technologies as part of their portfolio prior to seeking employment (Clark, 2009; Hargittai & Litt, 2013).

This final volume of Religion, the Occult and the Paranormal is mostly concerned with how the supernatural is finding form in popular culture, in everyday life and among the youth with their apparently insatiable appetite for all that is different, macabre, alien or sitting outside of normal society. Film franchises based on paranormal themes are among the biggest grossing films of all time. The Harry Potter franchise appeals to both adults and children alike, as does the Lord of the Rings franchise. These movies are invariably released at holiday time so parents can take their children, buy them some themed merchandise and escort them to various dress-up events populated by hundreds of small Harry Potters and Hermione Grangers. Religious and supernatural ideas are integral to the appeal of these movies. Several chapters of this volume explore that unlikely relationship. The current also flows in the other direction with popular culture providing the stuff of emerging religions. Most are familiar with Jediism, drawing its inspiration from the Star Wars franchise and the noble ideals of the Jedi Knights.

Introduction to Volume IV

Helen Farley

The first volume of this series has equipped us with the methodological tools for examining the occult and paranormal. The second has shown us that these themes have been present since the earliest times. This third volume of the Religion, the Occult, and the Paranormal provides examples of some of the rich diversity of ideas, practices and groups engaged in various ways with these supernatural considerations. Occult practices and ideas around the paranormal are found within each of the major world religions, often in connection with the more mythical aspects of those traditions. Bibliomancy, or divination using books, thrives within many forms of Christianity, Islamic theology is resplendent with jinns that can intervene in everyday life, and no process is more mysterious than the divinatory practices that foretell the next Dalai Lama in the “Yellow Hat” school of Tibetan Buddhism. Some of the chapters presented herein will explore just some of those crevices in South Asian religions.

Introduction to Volume III

The existence of the 'primal horde' is central to Sigmund Freud's theories on the beginnings of totemism and incest taboo in humankind. In this paper we begin by considering Freud's theory and examining his sources namely J. J. Atkinson and in particular Charles Darwin. By Freud's own admission, the 'primal horde' had never been observed. We investigate the possibility that such a structure ever existed. We consider the evidence as sourced from Charles Darwin and examine the possibility that Darwin's words were misinterpreted. Freud's idea of the 'primal horde' was generally accepted in anthropological circles in the early twentieth century as evidenced by Geza Roheim's enthusiastic support. We review how this theory lost favour in later times by considering the opinion of William Schmidt.

Freud’s Primal Horde: Fact or Fiction?

Helen Farley

The first tarot decks, beautifully hand-painted in the courts of Northern Italy in the fifteenth century, boasted wonderful images of cherubim and angels, mysterious landscapes and many enigmatic figures wearing glorious robes of gold. At first glance, it would appear that the image of the mother was absent from these original decks. Though maternal images and themes were not explicit, I will argue that the mother has always been present in the tarot deck in some form, though admittedly a portrayal of maternity was not the foremost purpose of these cards. In the trumps, women appeared as feminine personifications of the moon and astrology, the Theological and Cardinal Virtues, as the Popess (in more recent times known as the High Priestess), and as the Empress. Further, it was usually a woman who ruled over the World trump, typically the most powerful card in the deck. It was for the game of tarot that Queens were first added to the all-masculine court of King, Knight and Jack. By examining the likely identities of the female figures illustrated in Renaissance and subsequent decks, their status in the trump hierarchy and their subsequent divinatory meanings, I will argue that over nearly five hundred years, the role of the 'mother' in tarot has become increasingly significant. In conclusion, I will demonstrate how the image of the mother has become explicit and integral in any New Age divinatory tarot decks, some entirely focused around the idea of the archetypal 'mother'.
