A key challenge facing education reformers is how to attract and retain talented people in the teaching profession. Research shows the impact that teacher quality has on student achievement and that our most economically disadvantaged students, those who need the most from their schools, are least likely to have the most qualified teachers.

Requirements for eLearning platforms have usually focused on the learners’ needs. However, very little studies analyze the required support from the teachers’ perspective, especially when the teachers have one or more disabilities. I have analyzed the problems disabled teachers face at the workplace and identified ten requirements for eLearning platforms to overcome them. Introduction Some admi...

The university specializes in educating prospective teachers and the program is important since it is expected to equip the student teachers with the knowledge and skills necessary for qualified teachers. Hence, in this study, measures were taken to investigate the...

This paper considers the folded hypercube FQn, as an enhancement on the hypercube, and obtain some algebraic properties of FQn. Using these properties the authors show that for any two vertices x and y in FQn with distance d and any integers h ∈ {d, n + 1 − d} and l with h ≤ l ≤ 2 − 1, FQn contains an xy-path of length l and no xy-paths of other length provided that l and h have the same parity.
