Mobile Cloud Learning is a relatively new concept that holds considerable promises for the future development and delivery for education sectors. The use of the Internet and Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) to bring educational resources is considered to be mainstream practice for learners.
The main focus of this work is to evaluate the learner’s behavior and how they can take benefit anytime-anywhere from cloud-education learning system that is customized and adapted to the individual, delivered via personal portables devices such as laptops, mobiles, Smartphone, PDA so on. The work strand here is composed of few parts: (1) To develop a pilot research case study for such information management services in the Middle East region as well as internationally. |

Historical Analogies
Historical Analogies are essays that compare/contrast two or more historical events, issues, and/or ideas.
Analogies help to increase understanding by dealing with relationships and comparisons – the new to the old, the unknown to the known. That is, analogies help us to understand unfamiliar ideas, things, and situations by showing how these matters are similar to something we already know.
The instructions below should give you an idea of what the skeleton of a historical analogy essay might look like:
You would write a brief introduction that states your thesis (central idea, whatever – however you learned it) and previews how your essay will be constructed:
[Then you would write the body of your paper:]
You would then tie it all together with a well-written conclusion.
So, the idea is to compare/contrast two historical events/issues from the same era, or one historical event/issue from one era with a similar historical event/issue from another era, or
a current event with a historical event we have read about or discussed.
Thus, Historical Analogy assignment is essentially an essay discussing and analyzing what you have learned in a way that makes history meaningful to us in our present day.
Analogies should be a MINIMUM length of 4 double spaced pages. REMEMBER, this is the minimum. You should go beyond the minimum if you expect to receive higher than minimum points for this assignment. You must use AT LEAST three sources OTHER THAN your textbook. You should send your analogy to the instructor via the MESSAGES center (as an attachment). The Dropbox can be found under the “ Tools†navigation button.
Be sure to cite all sources that you use! You must also provide a list of your sources/references at the end of your paper. This should be the last page of your paper. This is a must! Use the APAstyle and format

|
For this assignment, you must choose a well-known current or historical person for an in-depth analysis of personality development. Some examples of the type of person you can choose are famous politicians, philanthropists, entertainers, businesspersons, or individuals who made significant contributions to your field of study or career. You should choose a figure whose biographical information can be easily researched.
During this course, you have studied several models of personality development. For your Final Project, you’ll write a 5- to 7-page paper that describes the way in which each of the models that you studied in the course applies to the personality development of the case study that you chose. Your paper must include the following components: 1.A summary of the person’s life experiences. This section must include all relevant background, including family history, significant life experiences, and important contributions that may have influenced or resulted from the individual’s personality development. This section should be 1-2 pages in length. Be sure to include an explanation of the advantages and disadvantages of applying each model to your case study. |

Competency 111.1.1: Native American Peoples – The graduate can describe and discuss issues pertaining to Native American peoples.
Objective 111.1.1-06: Discuss a specified issue of current relevance pertaining to a Native American nation. ——————————————————————————– Given: In the beginning of the 20th century, Native Americans were faced with having little or no resources to adequately sustain their populations. They had limited land, a scattered population, and language and cultural barriers dividing them from the rest of the U.S. population. Many Native American nations have struggled with poor access to healthcare, difficulty sustaining a viable existence on their lands, increased crime and drug abuse, poor educational opportunities, and severe poverty. These issues continue to plague many Native American populations into the 21st century. Native American organizations and nations have worked to alleviate some of these problems. For example, the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) was founded in 1944 in response to governmental termination and assimilation policies that threatened the existence of the Native American culture. This organization now includes over 250 member tribes and works to educate the public about Native Americans, works with the government to maintain their rights, and works toward improving the lives of Native Americans throughout the United States (National Congress of American Indians, 2006). More recently, the United States government has also worked toward changing policies to aid instead of hinder Native American nations. Task: Note: You may need to use additional resources to complete this task. See the Web links below for information that may be useful in completing this task. Write an essay (suggested length of 4–6 pages) in which you discuss an example of a current, relevant issue affecting a particular Native American nation. In your essay: A. Identify the Native American nation you have chosen. 1. Briefly describe the historical background of the nation. 2. Briefly describe the nation in modern times. For example, discuss how many tribes exist today and where most of the tribal members live. 3. Briefly describe at least three current issues facing this nation (e.g., economic, social, educational, healthcare, etc.). B. Analyze one issue you described in part A3. 1. Discuss how this issue affects the nation you have chosen. 2. Compare this issue to issues that face the general American population (consider any similarities and/or differences). 3. Discuss how long this issue has been a problem (consider if the nation has been dealing with this issue for a long or a short time). 4. Describe how the Native American nation has responded to this issue (consider if the issue can be resolved by the nation itself and what efforts the people of the nation have already made to resolve the issue). a. Analyze how effective the Native American nation has been in dealing with this issue. 5. Describe how the United States government has responded to this issue (consider if the issue can be resolved by the government [e.g., through legislation, financial support, etc.] and what efforts the government has made to resolve this issue). a. Provide a timeline of actions that the government has taken in response to this issue from 1890 (or the date when the issue became a problem) to the present. b. Analyze how effective the government has been in dealing with this issue. here is the websites they reccomend here are the rubrics Export to Word Unacceptable Needs Revision Meets Standard Exemplary Score/Level Communication Holistic The work is difficult to follow and is confusing.
