As schools continue to explore the transition from traditional
education to teaching and learning online, new instructional design
frameworks are needed that can support with the development of
e-learning content. The e-learning frameworks examined within this
book have eight dimensions: (1) institutional, (2) pedagogical, (3)
technological, (4) interface design, (5) evaluation, (6)
management, (7) resource support, and (8) ethical. Each of these
dimensions contains a group of concerns or issues that need to be
examined to assess and develop an institutions e-capability in
order to introduce the best e-learning practices. Challenges and
Opportunities for the Global Implementation of E-Learning
Frameworks presents global perspectives on the latest best
practices and success stories of institutions that were able to
effectively implement e-learning frameworks. An e-learning
framework is used as a guide to examine e-learning practices in
countries around the globe to reflect on opportunities and
challenges for implementing quality learning. In this book,
therefore, tips for success factors and issues relevant to failures
will be presented along with an analysis of similarities and
differences between several countries and educational lessons.
While highlighting topics such as course design and development,
ICT use in the classroom, and e-learning for different subjects,
this book is ideal for university leaders, practitioners in
e-learning, continuing education institutions, government agencies,
course developers, in-service and preservice teachers,
administrators, practitioners, stakeholders, researchers,
academicians, and students seeking knowledge on how e-learning
frameworks are being implemented across the globe.

This book discusses how technological innovations have affected the
resolution of disputes arising from electronic commerce in the
European Union, UK and China. Online dispute resolution (ODR) is a
form of alternative dispute resolution in which information
technology is used to establish a process that is more effective
and conducive to resolving the specific types of dispute for which
it was created. This book focuses on out-of-court ODR and the
resolution of disputes in the field of electronic commerce. It
explores the potential of ODR in this specific e-commerce context
and investigates whether the current use of ODR is in line with the
principles of access to justice and procedural fairness. Moreover,
it examines the major concerns surrounding the development of ODR,
e.g. the extent to which electronic ADR agreements are recognized
by national courts in cross-border e-commerce transactions, how
procedural justice is ensured in ODR proceedings, and whether ODR
outcomes can be effectively enforced. To this end, the book
assesses the current and potential role of ODR in resolving
e-commerce disputes, identifies the legal framework for and legal
barriers to the development of ODR, and makes recommendations as to
the direction in which practice and the current legal framework
should evolve. In closing, the book draws on the latest legislation
in the field of e-commerce law and dispute resolution in order to
make recommendations for future ODR design, such as the EU
Platform-to-Business Regulation on Promoting Fairness and
Transparency for Business Users of Online Intermediation Services
(2019) and the United Nations Convention on International
Settlement Agreements Resulting from Mediation (2018), which
provide the legal basis for ODR's future development.

Lead Agile Transformations that Scale and Succeed across the Entire
Organization Most organizational leaders know agility is paramount
to survival in a world of unprecedented volatility, uncertainty,
complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA). This is why so many keep
attempting Agile transformations even after previous initiatives
have failed. But the truth is, both organizations and leaders need
new ways of thinking--they need to upgrade their organizational
"operating system." Built on the proven Integral Agile
Transformation Framework (TM) (IATF), Agile Transformation offers a
fresh perspective and systemic approach that can operate on all
levels, from individual to enterprise. Learn how to use IATF to
combine what you know subjectively ("heart") with what you can
measure objectively ("data"). Even if you are already using
leadership or culture models, scaled frameworks, or other
techniques, IATF helps you place them in context, overcome their
limitations, and gain more value from them. As it has in many other
organizations, IATF can help you become an authentic
Transformational Leader and finally build an organization that is
truly Agile. Gain crucial new perspective for leading your Agile
transformation: insight into your world, organization, work, and
yourself Understand what your current Agile methods do and don't
do, how they interact or conflict, and where you need something
more Structure existing models and frameworks into an
understandable meta-framework Master a unified and practical system
for mapping what's going on and what needs to change Discover
practical ways to successfully lead both human and organizational
aspects of change Register your book for convenient access to
