Abstract

The paper aims to investigate the possible relationship between Tourism Supply Chain and Strategic Partnership, read as a way to reduce and better manage the complexity in Tourism Industry. For this purpose weexamined creating tourist security using a smart wristband for Shanghai tourists. The sampling method is simply random and via Cochran’s formula. The sample size is 300 people. All questions have been used in the form of Likert Scale for data collection. The content validity and Cronbach’s alpha coefficient have been used to determine the survey validity, which equals 0.91. LISREL software has been used for data analysis and hypothesis testing. Results showed that using technology (wristband) and the tourist police are effective in the development of tourism and improved tourism facilities.

Abstract

To benefit from electronic learning (E-learning), organizations should execute considerable upfront analysis to ascertain their E-learning readiness. Studies have demonstrated a range of models that have been adapted, but they are used in developed counties for whom E-learning readiness is elevated. Thus, these models are not valid in growing countries, such as Sudan. Based on a modified model, this research was performed descriptively by applying a questionnaire-based survey method to assess the level of Sudan universities’ readiness in the employment of the E-learning system. This modified model includes social support, technology readiness, attitude toward E-learning, acceptance of E-learning, and individual learners. Furthermore, the adoption and implementation of E-learning involve numerous challenges and constraints. Therefore, in this study, the challenges that could be faced in applying E-learning in Sudan from students’ perspectives are investigated. The results show that the most prepared factor is individual learners at Sudanese universities. However, this factor still needs a few improvements for E-learning with an overall mean (3.59). Given that the learners are willing to collaborate and share information and knowledge, they can manage time for their learning, and they are also motivated and enthusiastic about using computers. Moreover, attitude toward E-learning is the least prepared factor among all factors (mean = 3.16), which means that this factor is not ready and needs some work. The study recognizes serious barriers that constrain the effective incorporation of E-learning in higher education institutes (HEIs) in developing countries.

Abstract

In this paper, an experimental device is designed for measuring vehicle dynamic load,the structure and stress of the equipment are analyzed by computer technology. The device design mainly includes vehicle, road surface, vehicle transmission, and control [1]. The vehicle is designed based on a 2-DOF vehicle model, the road is designed based on the Pasternak foundation model, and the control mainly uses a single-chip microcomputer. The dynamic response of vehicles to the road at different speeds is analyzed through the experiment.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore how in-service Chinese college English teachers produce and reproduce their identities within their study-abroad experiences in terms of their beliefs and classroom practice.  Sociocultural theory, discourse theory, and activity theory were used in the theoretical framework to analyze how participants modified their self-perception and changed their classroom practice in different contexts during boundary crossing.  The study invited four in-service Chinese college English teachers who took part in three-month study-abroad program.  Data were collected from interviews, observations, and document analysis.  The findings indicated that participants shifted their self-perception from advanced language user to basic language learner when they studied abroad and had difficulty in dealing with daily tasks.  With deeper involvement in the U.S. American culture, they gained more confidence in teaching.  After they returned, they were more creative and critical teachers.  The findings also demonstrated that participants wanted to implement the latest pedagogies, activities, and management into their own classrooms based on their students’ needs and levels in the Chinese sociocultural context.  Although participants encountered challenges in implementation due to students’ levels, learning habits, and local context, they made some effective changes and formed new authority in the classroom.  This study suggests that in order to improve study-abroad programs into truly beneficial professional development for teachers, college teachers need to have a clear self-evaluation process, and institutional administrators and foreign directors of study-abroad programs need to stand in teachers’ shoes to meet their requirements. This, in turn, will bring more Chinese college English teachers to study abroad for professional development.
