title: The boundedness principle characterizes second category subsets

authors: Broughan, Kevin A.

abstract: Converses are proved for the Osgood (the Principle of Uniform Boundedness), Dini, and other well known. theorems. The notion of a continuous step function on a topological space is defined and a class of spaces identified for which each lower semicontinuous function is the pointwise limit of a monotonically increasing sequence of step functions.

title: Digital tools disrupting tertiary students’ notions of disciplinary knowledge: Cases in history and tourism

authors: Cowie, Bronwen

subjects: digital tools

abstract: This paper reports on the findings from a two year research project that explored the potential of digital tools in support of teaching–learning across different disciplinary areas at a New Zealand university. Two courses (in History and Tourism) are case studied using data collected through interviews with lecturers, tutors and their students, and an online student survey. Findings from the research revealed that both lecturers and students were challenged in learning about the affordances and use of the lecturer selected digital tools as a mediational means. The tools were not initially transparent to them, nor were they able to be easily deployed to undertake their primary task—teaching for the lecturers, and, learning and demonstrating learning for the students completing assigned tasks. The process of learning and using the tools disrupted participants’ prior thinking and led to new understandings of both disciplines and of effective pedagogies for the two disciplines. The findings increase our understanding of the ways digital tools can develop, challenge and expand tertiary students learning and have implications for practice.

title: The Māori health data governance model: A planning and protocol checklist

authors: Kremer, Lisa

abstract: Māori health data (MHD) governance is a critical enabler of achieving health equity for Māori. The Māori Data Governance Model (the Model) provides a framework for all stages of Māori data handling but has yet to be meaningfully implemented within health settings. This study aimed to meet the need for health-specific guidance by adapting the Model to create an MHD governance checklist. This checklist can be used by health researchers and agencies to develop and embed their own MHD governance protocol (e.g. embed within study protocol).
