This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third
International Workshop on Learning Technology for Education in
Cloud, LTEC 2014, held in Santiago, Chile, in September 2014. The
20 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and
selected from 31 submissions. The papers are organized in topical
sections on MOOC for learning; learning technologies; learning in
higher education; case study in learning.
Good governance is one of the UK's fundamental values, and citizens
are entitled to expect that public officials, both elected and
non-elected, behave according to the highest standards of ethical
behaviour. However, such lofty aspirations are not enough to root
out corruption. If integrity in public life is to be maintained,
the core principles behind it must be constantly sustained and
strengthened. This new Haus Curiosities volume, published in
collaboration with Westminster Abbey Institute, looks at the place
and meaning of integrity in the individual public servant, in
public service institutions, and in the wider public they purport
to serve. It tries to answer the fundamental questions of what
integrity means in public life, what lasting value it has, and why
it has such a critical part to play in the constitution of Britain.
The book also explores how people in public service institutions
can cease to behave with humanity when those institutions deny the
individual human spirit. On the other hand, the authors argue for
the critical importance of institutions in upholding values when
fallible humans forget them, as we have witnessed in the Civil
Service's steadfast and stabilising response to the Brexit
referendum and its uncertain aftermath. Integrity in Public Life
provides a critique of and an essential guide to integrity, leaving
the reader with some hope for its continued place in public life.
