PROBLEMS AND OPPORTUNITIES OF E-LEARNING SYSTEM by T. Yu. Krotenko

“…In this сonnection, ambiguous understanding of the goals of digitalization, the mismatch of the electronic and traditional approaches to learning, incompleteness of a single terminology platform, a significant difference of the main theories used in developing practical tools of e-learning, the lack of leading psycho-pedagogical concept of online learning, which could be used by both developers of training programs and users-teachers, insufficient base of empirical research, - they lead to confusion of all subjects of the educational process, to the lack of a clear understanding of what and how to teach and what might happen as a result. …”

The Preferred User: How Audio Description could Change Understandings of Australian Television Audiences and Media Technology by Ellis Katie, Kent Mike, Locke Kathryn

“…It contextualises these findings in an overview of the history of audio description in and outside of Australia, highlighting key technological and policy changes. Evoking theories of the preferred user and how this understanding of television audiences addresses disability, we argue that different interpretations of how audio description can be delivered, determined through a process of interpretive flexibility (and continued industry creativity and innovation) may finally shift the stagnating discussions around audio description provision, and thus ultimately change the accessibility of television for the blind and vision impaired.…”

Long-term Trends in the Transition to the Labour Market in Germany by Steffen Hillmert

“…Against this background, this paper asks whether and to what extent there has been a de-structuring of the transition to the labour market in Germany – and, linked with it, of the transition to adulthood – as it has been proposed by theories of individualisation. Possible indicators of such a de-structuring would be a de-standardisation of transition patterns, a decreasing social differentiation and a declining significance of school-to-work transitions for other domains of life.…”
