What has “fallen apart” in this novel, and who’s to blame for this destruction? Could Okonkwo’s fate have been avoided? Could Umuofian society have held together better? How? In this lesson, students will participate in a discussion to reflect on and attempt to answer these questions and others.

Drawing on the author's four decades of experience as a concert oboist, this open access book studies a number of foundational issues in the philosophy of music, such as musical meaning and expression, musical ontology and the existence of the musical work, the relation between music and language, and the phenomenology of music. The book surveys the development of Western classical music from the Baroque era through to the 20th century, both from the perspective of contemporary Lithuanian philosophers such as Girnius, Maceina, Šliogeris, and Jackūnas, and 20th century European philosophy. In addition to discussing key questions in the philosophy of music, the book also analyses technical musical terms such as articulation, phrasing, and rhythm.

Current research on the evolution and development of cognition and affect, including intuitive physics, biology, and psychology, language, emotions, sexuality, and social relations.

Writing is a complicated and often mysterious process. Although we may think of it as little more than arranging letters and words on a page, a few moments’ reflection reveals that it is much more than that. On the one hand, writing is an art–we don’t say Shakespeare’s language is “correct” but rather that it is beautiful. On the other hand, writing is a science-we want the instructions that came with our Blu-Ray player to be accurate, precise, and easy to understand.

"Fluency Disorders Notes for Speech-Language Pathology Assistant" is a practical resource that caters specifically to a 1-credit-hour course for SLPAs or 1/3 of a 3-credit-hour course in communication sciences and disorders. It aims to provide overviews, screening methods, and remediation approaches with some samples to guide future SLPAs in addressing fluency disorders. The booklet meets coursework requirements and allows for customizing learning objectives to support aspiring SLPAs effectively. As such, this booklet does not intend to compete against commercially available textbooks with comprehensive information about the targeted and peripheral topics.

Amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic in 2020, the authors embarked on a mission to create their first Open Educational Resource (OER) textbook. This initiative was born out of a commitment to alleviate the financial burden associated with study materials and to help aspiring SLPs and SLPAs progress toward certification without financial constraints. The authors view the development of OER materials as an ongoing endeavor driven by their commitment to supporting and valuing their future colleagues.

This book incorporates images, illustrations, and information from various OER that allow others to adopt or remix their information in part or whole. The information from other OER sources is color-coded in black ink, and the content developed by the authors is presented in blue ink. Citations for all images, illustrations, and information that the authors do not originate are provided on each page. The authors sincerely appreciate the work of those who have shared their valuable resources under the Creative Commons (CC) license, as their contributions have enriched this booklet and fostered a sense of community among its readers.

The authors of this textbook aspire to ignite a sense of fascination in beginning learners as they delve into the captivating realm of communication sciences and disorders. With this goal in mind, the authors have made this textbook readily accessible to future colleagues who seek to acquire foundational knowledge that can be applied in serving individuals with communication disorders.

When the world is at our fingertips, the new generation of students appear to be more technology driven towards using the electronic devices in their daily life. The smartphones and smart electronic devices are fast improving with the advancement of the new generation of android devices with some devices are built specifically for Augmented Reality (AR). The 21st century learning approach advocates the integration of technology for more interactive teaching and learning activities. Thus, this research developed a mobile AR application which integrated the android-based application to assist the teaching and learning activities in University Malaysia Sabah (UMS). UMS students are required to take the English language courses from the Centre for the Promotion of Knowledge and Language Learning (CPKLL). However, the current challenges in the English language classrooms are students’ lack of interest in conventional teaching and learning activities and their limited attention span. In view of this, the gamification element is injected inside the classroom by utilising a creative approach to the existing conventional scavenger hunt game. The implementation of an android application with AR capability allows the students to play educational quizzes. The two-fold objectives of this project included: (1) developing an android-based fun quiz application with AR technology which was location-based so students could experience interactive learning environment; and (2) investigating the implementation of this mobile application during English lessons. Iterative methodology was employed in this research which comprised planning, analysis, design, implementation, testing phase, deployment and follows next iteration (if needed). The findings suggested that students were able to answer the AR quizzes at several locations around UMS and provided the lecturers with real time access to the results. It is hoped that the mobilised scavenger hunt application will provide more interactive and learning activities via gamification.
