Revista nuestrAmérica
Tan globales como históricas, las distintas migraciones del nuevo milenio son masivas, diversas y particularmente están ligadas a las guerras e invasiones en Oriente Medio y África. No obstante, también son de índole económica (y laboral), cultural y social. Nuestra América, Asia y Oceanía no son la excepción de la regla, sino más bien la confirmación del fenómeno de migraciones en todo el mundo incluyendo sus impactos en Norteamérica y Europa. Pero, ¿cómo comprender un fenómeno que está generando grandes transformaciones en nuestro tiempo? Tal fenómeno no puede obviarse desde las Ciencias Sociales y las Humanidades. En efecto, en el presente número de Revista nuestrAmérica los lectores tendrán la posibilidad de indagar en las entrañas de diversas interpretaciones que exigen una mirada holística e interdisciplinaria así como el reto de observar varios casos y experiencias que permitan generar enfoques y discusiones teóricas sobre el tema central: migraciones, refugiados y desplazamiento forzado.
Dimensiones de la migración en Colombia.
Colombia, al igual que casi todos los países de América, es un país que tiene una larga historia de migración. Comprender sus movimientos de población nos enseña un poco de su carácter, sus alegrías y sus dolores. Analizar y revisar las migraciones, es decir, cómo la gente se mueve y por qué, dará mayores argumentos para pensar en cómo es la identidad de un territorio, cómo y por qué se producen los cambios en su población. Pensar Colombia y sus migraciones es pensar su propia idiosincrasia, buscando los caminos que llevan a mirar hacia donde la diversidad y las relaciones interculturales empujadas por las migraciones permiten dialogar y cohesionar el territorio, en donde las diferencias se vuelcan a la unidad y el país avanza y genera creatividad, ya que las personas llevan consigo ideas que viajan junto a sus maletas, encontrándose conexiones y nuevas formas de ver el mundo, el país y a sus ciudadanos.
The Value of Academic Libraries
This report provides Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) leaders and the academic community with a clear view of the current state of the literature on value of libraries within an institutional context, suggestions for immediate "Next Steps" in the demonstration of academic library value, and a "Research Agenda" for articulating academic library value. Its focus is to help librarians understand, based on professional literature, the current answer to the question, "How does the library advance the missions of the institution?" This report is also of interest to higher educational professionals external to libraries, including senior leaders, administrators, faculty, and student affairs professionals.

The Teacher's Role in Implementing Cooperative Learning in the Classroom
Cooperative learning is widely endorsed as a pedagogical practice that promotes student learning. Recently, the research focus has moved to the role of teachers’ discourse during cooperative learning and its effects on the quality of group discussions and the learning achieved. However, although the benefits of cooperative learning are well documented, implementing this pedagogical practice in classrooms is a challenge that many teachers have difficulties accomplishing. Difficulties may occur because teachers often do not have a clear understanding of the basic tenets of cooperative learning and the research and theoretical perspectives that have informed this practice and how they transla...
Toward an Islamic Enlightenment
M. Hakan Yavuz offers an insightful and wide-ranging study of the Gulen Movement, one of the most controversial developments in contemporary Islam. Founded in Turkey by the Muslim thinker Fethullah Gulen, the Gulen Movement aims to disseminate a ''moderate'' interpretation of Islam through faith-based education. Its activities have fundamentally altered religious and political discourse in Turkey in recent decades, and its schools and other institutions have been established throughout Central Asia and the Balkans, as well as western Europe and North America. Consequently, its goals and modus operandi have come under increasing scrutiny around the world. Yavuz introduces readers to the movem...
E-Learning in the 21st Century
There is currently a technological revolution taking place in higher education. The growth of e-learning is being described as explosive, unprecedented, and above all, disruptive. This timely and comprehensive book provides a coherent framework for understanding e-learning in higher education. The authors draw on their extensive research in the area to explore the technological, pedagogical and organisational implications of e-learning, and more importantly, they provide practical models for educators to use to realise the full potential of e-learning. A unique feature of the book is that the authors focus less on the ever-evolving technologies and more on the search for an understanding of these technologies from an educational perspective. This book will be invaluable for researchers, practitioners and senior administrators looking for guidance on how to successfully adopt e-learning in their institutions. It will also appeal to anyone with an interest in the impact of e-learning on higher education and society.
