Reviews ''A real pleasure using the book''. 27th May 2003 Reviewer: Chris Clarke: ''I have purchased many books on Access in an attempt to learn as much as I can about what I consider to be a fantastic piece of software and I have to say that your book Successful ICT Projects in Access (3rd Edition) was one of the easiest and most comprehensive books on the topic that I have come across. It has been a real pleasure using the book and my ability to program has increased beyond my wildest expectations, Thank you. Excellent!'' ''I found it clear, concise, realistically priced and is helping correct my deficient knowledge immensely.'' 20th February 2003 Reviewer: Dr. Geoff Fowler, Technical Director, Oilfield Consultancy: ''I am Technical Director of a small Oilfield Chemistry consultancy and taught myself, rather badly, Access. However all the books I bought and many online resources assume a level of knowledge hence the many mistakes I make in building databases for myself. I was browsing PC World and came across your Successful ICT Projects in Access. I found it clear, concise, realistically priced and is helping correct my deficient knowledge immensely. I will try and get your VBA book as well. Excellent! I think they are wicked!'' ''A first rate text which cannot fail to improve grades'' 3rd May, 2002 Reviewer: Miss Fozia Akram a student from Wakefield College, England: ''I would like to thank you for publishing such great books, I have purchased the A2 ICT and Access books and I think they are wicked. Thank you Payne-Gallway and thank you Pat Heathcote, lets just hope my revision pays off. A first rate text which cannot fail to improve grades''. ''The ''paint by numbers'' approach is exactly what is needed as it quickly gets results.'' 22nd September, 2001 Reviewer: Kev Randle from Sheffield, England: ''This guide to producing an ''A'' level project is going to take some beating. Some of my students have made fantastic progress in just a few hours from a starting point of zero experience with access. The ''paint by numbers'' approach is exactly what is needed as it quickly gets results. Probably feeds the ''instant gratification '' that most of our students are supposed to demand. I don''t care. As a teacher it has certainly made my life a great deal less painful and I can recommend this text to anyone taking, or teaching the AQA ICT or Computing course. It''s not even hard. Life saver!''. ''I wouldn''t have been able to do the project without it.'' 4th November, 2001 Reviewer: A Student from High Wycombe, England: ''This book pretty much lays out what is needed in the project in simple terms so that it can be adapted to your own project. Not only does it give the IT side but also the written work which is in part more important than the actual system. I wouldn''t have been able to do the project without it. Excellent book as an introduction to Access''. ''It is by far and away the most practical publication I have read on the subject'' 1st October, 2001 Reviewer: Sean Scaife from Dublin, Ireland: ''As a newcomer to Access, although over 20 years in the IT industry in various capacities, I found this work to be invaluable in being able to grasp the fundamentals of Access development. It is by far and away the most practical publication I have read on the subject, In fact I would go so far as to say that it is an object lesson to most authors of introductory works in so far that is PRACTICAL in real world sense. I have already passed on my original copy to a former colleague and have this morning recommended it to another colleague who will be purchasing it. I have no problem spending ...on other manuals but this work has helped me to produce working solutions in a very short time. Congratulations, A fan, excellent''. 17th January, 2001 Reviewer: A Reader from Leicester, England: ''This book really helps with the AS IT course when you need to do your coursework. If you are planning on using Access for your coursework, I really recommend it as it comes in very useful indeed''.

One approach to the introduction of computational material to the classroom is to supplement a textbook with modern computer codes. Unfortunately most codes are expensive, designed for commercial use, without source code and may require special software. Visual Hydrology provides a cheaper and simpler alternative, supplying computational exercises that can be fully assimilated by students, and allowing them to activate, understand and reproduce modern computer code. Visual Hydrology aims to: explain the structure of modern object-oriented computer code provide the source code for worked examples numerically check the worked examples used in text show how worked examples can be used with alternative data describe and reference the underlying theory provide additional exercises with each worked example use Microsoft Excel software alone Requiring only a basic knowledge of Microsoft Excel, this Primer teaches the use of modern and readily-available computer code for engineering computation. Visual Hydrology demonstrates codes for common and practical examples used in hydrological engineering, and will be a valuable resource to students, research workers and consulting engineers in the water-related sector.

Heavily dominated by the sector of information and communication technologies, economic organizations pursue digital transformation as a differentiating factor and source of competitive advantage. Understanding the challenges of digital transformation is critical to managers to ensure business sustainability. However, there are some problems, such as architecture, security, and reliability, among others, that bring with them the need for studies and investments in this area to avoid significant financial losses. Digital transformation encompasses and challenges many areas, such as business models, organizational structures, human privacy, management, and more, creating a need to investigate the challenges associated with it to create a roadmap for this new digital transformation era. The Handbook of Research on Digital Transformation and Challenges to Data Security and Privacy presents the main challenges of digital transformation and the threats it poses to information security and privacy, as well as models that can contribute to solving these challenges in economic organizations. While highlighting topics such as information systems, digital trends, and information governance, this book is ideally intended for managers, data analysts, cybersecurity professionals, IT specialists, practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students working in fields that include digital transformation, information management, information security, information system reliability, business continuity, and data protection.

Perspectives on Multigrade Teaching

ISBN: 3030848035

This book contains the results of research projects carried out in relation to multigrade teaching in Australia and South Africa. Research in multigrade contexts is not commonly reported and rarely in book form. The research results have implications for multigrade teachers, government education personnel, and university teacher educators. The book also contains chapters with practical advice for multigrade teachers, including examples of multigrade teaching used in an Australian seven-grade class (kindergarten to grade 6). Other chapters contain suggestions for practical strategies a multigrade teacher can use to reduce the workload involved in planning for multiple grades. Very little is published in the area of multigrade teaching, yet the number of multigrade schools worldwide is huge. Developed countries still have a significant proportion of multigrade schools (commonly one fifth to one third of all primary schools or classes). Despite decades of centralisation of schools and expansion of transport networks, the number of these schools remains high, mostly in rural areas. Developing countries established multigrade schools in rural areas in order to achieve the UN Millennium Development Goal of Universal Primary Education. Yet, specific training to teach a multigrade class remains virtually non-existent in initial teacher education programs worldwide. The value of this book is thus to report specific research carried out in multigrade contexts but also to provide practical help for multigrade teachers. This help is needed as the teachers strive to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goal of a quality education, through helping their students develop the skills and behaviours required for 21st-century learning.
