TL;DR: The Personal Inquiry (PI) project as mentioned in this paper developed a new approach of "scripted inquiry learning", where children investigate a science topic with classmates by carrying out explorations between their classroom, homes and discovery centres, guided by a personal computer.
Abstract: The University of Nottingham and the Open University are partners in a ca. £1.2m project to help school students learn the skills of modern science. The three-year project, Personal Inquiry (PI) (funded by the UK ESRC and EPSRC research councils), is developing a new approach of 'scripted inquiry learning', where children investigate a science topic with classmates by carrying out explorations between their classroom, homes and discovery centres, guided by a personal computer. This paper describes our progress to date on the development of four models for inquiry-based learning, as part of the PI project. These are being used as the basis for the development of educational scenarios and associated scripts to explore the use of mobile technologies in supporting an inquiry-based approach to teaching Scientific thinking across formal and informal learning.

26 Apr 2018TL;DR: The authors argue that modernists found models for how the novel might become an autonomous, intellectual object rather than a familiar experience, and articulated a future for the novel by imagining it as a new kind of machine.
Abstract: Modernism reshaped novel theory, shifting criticism away from readers' experiences and toward the work as an object autonomous from any reader. Novel Theory and Technology in Modernist Britain excavates technology's crucial role in this evolution and offers a new history of modernism's vision of the novel. To many modernists, both novel and machine increasingly seemed to merge into the experiences of readers or users. But modernists also saw potential for a different understanding of technology - in pre-modern machines, or the technical functioning of technologies stripped of their current social roles. With chapters on Henry James, Ford Madox Ford, Wyndham Lewis, and Rebecca West, Novel Theory argues that in these alternative visions of technology, modernists found models for how the novel might become an autonomous, intellectual object rather than a familiar experience, and articulated a future for the novel by imagining it as a new kind of machine.

TL;DR: In this paper, a set of studies about business action is taken as the empirical starting-point, and four narrative constructions are focused: space, time, actors, and plots.
Abstract: Taking a set of studies about business action as the empirical starting-point, this paper looks at the various ways in which action is represented. The overall research question can be stated as follows: how is business action reconstructed in our narratives? The texts analyzed are collected from research on exchange relationships in the field of marketing. To analyze how these texts depict business action, four narrative constructions are focused: space, time, actors, and plots. The categorization and analysis are summarized and followed by a set of concluding implications and suggestions for narrative practice aiming to reconstruct business action in the making.

TL;DR: The Necessary Narrator thesis is not only false, but it also damages narrative theory and the criticism, teaching, reading and appreciation of fiction as discussed by the authors, and it obscures the inextricable link between the invention and the presentation of fiction and taints the pleasure of engaging with the minds of great storytellers.
Abstract: Modern literary study tends to accept both as a dogma and as a mark of critical sophistication (or at least a proof of disciplinary initiation) that all narratives must have a narrator distinct from the author. Jane Austen or Lev Tolstoy cannot tell us their stories directly but only via a narrator specific to each of their fictions. In each work, we should hold this non-authorial narrator responsible for selecting, arranging and communicating the events of the story set before us. This Necessary Narrator thesis is not only false—as has been ably shown in recent American, English, French and German literary theory and philosophy of art, disregarded by those who have sworn allegiance to the thesis as a first principle—but damages narrative theory and the criticism, teaching, reading and appreciation of fiction. The Necessary Narrator thesis obscures the inextricable link between the invention and the presentation of fiction and taints the pleasure of engaging with the minds and the art of great storytellers. Examples from Emma show the kinds of features, ubiquitous in fiction, that the Necessary Narrator thesis fails to explain.
