The development of distance education has resulted from so-called push and pull factors: the technological advances created user demand‚ while extensive usage of technologies led to further development in technology. (Lewis et al‚ 1999). One can distinguish between four generations of distance education technologies. The timeframe of the first generation is from 1850s to1960 and the technologies employed are print (correspondence classes)‚ radio and instructional television. The second generation

was to investigate the effect of varying the distance (cm) of the Elodea plant from the light source at (5‚ 15‚ 25‚ 35 and 45 (cm)) (±0.05) on the photosynthetic rate by counting the number of oxygen bubbles rising up the test tube per minute (bubbles min^(-1)). The hypothesis was supported because as the light intensity increased‚ the rate at which oxygen bubbles rising to the top of the test tube also increased – for example‚ at the closest distance of 5 cm‚ the rate of photosynthesis was at its

1. What is the formula developed by Kogut and Singh in 1988 in the Journal of International Business Studies (JIBS)? Explain the formula in your own words. 〖CD〗_j=∑_(i=1)^4▒{ (I_ij-I_iDE )^2/V_i}/4 CDj is the cultural distance between the host country and the home country (in this case Germany). The I’s are the scores on the ith cultural dimensions from Hofstede‚ so in this case the four scores for PD‚ UAV‚ IND and MAS. Vi is the variance of the score of this dimensions. The variances for

Long Distance Relationships: Can They Work? Two clichés: Absence makes the heart grow fonder and Out of sight‚ out of mind. Which one of these two conflicting views is closer to the reality? As it turns out‚ it does not really matter that much since long distance relationships (LDR) suffer from exactly the same strengths and weaknesses as proximal relationships. Whether two people are going to have fulfilling relationship does not only depend on their geographical closeness. What matters is

Before baseline 11-10 launches‚ the distance rocket traveled 6.73m and weighed 1.12 grams and the seconds rocket went .92 seconds and weighed .95 grams. By adding some cardstock for fins and taking off my clay and replacing it with tape it went quite a bit further and it went quite a bit faster‚ the weight was .93 grams. With the weight taken off‚ the rocket went 1.796 m farther. For the baseline launches‚ the distance average was 7.465m and .91 seconds and for the height the average was 2

POWER DISTANCE IN FAMILY Most of us are born in a family‚ a very important part of our everyday life. After our birth we begin to receive a menthal education from those older than us‚ not only from our parents‚ but from our grandparents.

English 10/28/13 “Judging Distances” Analysis In “Judging Distances” by Henry Reed it is indicated that there are two voices speaking within the poem because they both have a different style of speaking. The first voice seems to be starting sentences such as‚ “Not only how far away‚ but the way you say it is it.” (1). The second voice then steps in to finish the latter’s sentence‚ “Is very Important. Perhaps you may never get the knack of judging a distance‚ but at least you know.” (2-3)

Distance [dis-tuh ns] – the extent or amount of space between two things‚ points‚ lines‚ etc. When most people hear or see the word distance‚ the first thought that comes into their head is space. I don’t mean space as in the solar system; I mean how much is in-between one point and another. For others‚ when they hear distance they will remember a person. They will be reminded of the distance they have mentally between themselves and said person. Distance can have a different meaning for everyone
