Higher Education Resources For Students

education

In the past, classroom instruction has revolved around textbooks and resources licensed from traditional publishers. However, open educational resources (OER) can offer a less expensive and more flexible alternative.

OERs favor social collaboration and equality of access for learners. However, few studies have examined the development of OERs in languages other than English within higher education.

ACE is an acronym for Adaptive Communication Environment, which is a software framework for developing portable, high-performance networked multithreaded applications. The ACE framework provides abstractions for sockets, demultiplexing loops, threads, and synchronization primitives. It is used in high-performance, distributed real-time and embedded systems such as those developed by Boeing, NASA, Facebook, and Intel. In addition, ACE is used in high-performance simulation software such as MCNP and GEANT4. ACE libraries are compiled with C++ and run on any platform.

OER are freely available, digital, reusable learning resources that have been created or modified with the permission of their creators. Research shows that students who use OER in their courses achieve better grades and lower failure rates than those who do not. OER also help to break down barriers of affordability and accessibility by making course content more personalized and responsive to student lived experiences.
