Gradual growth is observed in the number of Review Articles by Indian authors being
published in recent years. More than 85 per cent of the Review Articles are written in
collaboration with more than one author. There is a scope for further comparative study
of nature of collaboration of normal articles and Review Articles. It is logical that work
involved in writing a Review Article is more than writing a normal article. Collecting the
available literature in a field, even in a micro field, is a cumbersome work. The
collaborative works gain more importance in such situations. Indian Institute of Science,
Bangalore; All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi; Bhabha Atomic Research
Centre, Mumbai; Indian Institute of Technology, New Delhi; and Delhi University, New
Delhi are the premier institutions which produced more number of Review Articles. The
study finds that collaboration of Indian reviewers with people from outside India is
significant. Current Science; Research on Chemical Intermediates; Indian Journal of
Medical Research; National Medical Journal of India; and Progress in Organic Coatings
are the top five journals publishing Review Articles of Indian origin. One third of the
Review Articles taken into consideration for the study are published in journals having
Impact Factors ranged from zero to one.
Multidisciplinary Sciences; Chemistry in General; General and Internal Medicine;
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology; and Pharmacology and Pharmacy are the main
fields in which the majority of the Review Articles are written. Authors from Indian
Institute of Science, Bangalore contributes Review Articles of various subject areas than
any other affiliations of authors. Escherichia Coli; In Vitro; Crystal Structure; GeneExpression; and Polymerase Chain Reaction are the five most occurred keywords found
in the Review Articles. The inter-quartile mean of the number of Synchronous

Animated pedagogical agents (APA) combined artificial intelligent with sophisticated animation can produce effective learning environments. Offering great potential for improving learning effectiveness and efficiency, APA provides students with problem solving advice that is constructed to different individual’s learning capabilities. It also provide a low-pressure learning environment that allows users to study at their own pace.
CAPA endeavors collaboration of the delicate balance from the best aspects of a human tutor and the best aspects of a computer-based intelligent tutoring system. For example, the user do not need to feel intimidated or embarrassed approaching the agent if the users need to ask the same question repeatedly on various occasion.

TECHNOLOGY AND STUDENT-CENTERED LEARNING
T HE TRANSITION TO STUDENT-CENTERED LEARNING
ENVIRONMENTS is inevitable; indeed, several significant
efforts have been demonstrated or are already underway. While
a great deal has been learned from available research and theory, it
is naive to presume that research and theory alone shaped SCLEs.
Rather, SCLEs emerged as a natural consequence of widespread
availability of powerful, ubiquitous technologies that support inquiry
of all kinds in all places, not simply in formal schooling. Different
models of inquiry have become possible through technology; the
challenge is not so much to invent new teaching-learning models as
to understand and optimize those models that have emerged.
It is tempting to position SCLEs and didactic approaches as polar
opposites in a "winner take all" epistemological struggle: One position
must be correct and prevail, while the other must be flawed and
thus vanquished. It is tempting, but unreasonable. SCLE approaches
will undoubtedly continue to emerge, but they do not portend the
demise of didactic approaches. SCLEs open domains of study to the
unique needs and sense-making of learners; they do not, however,
explicitly clarify what is of general importance and significance. SCLEs
and didactic approaches have important roles in the educational toolkit
of instructors and students. We do not posit SCLEs, or any other
approach, as the definitive "new best way"; we need, however, to
determine when different tools make sense and how to utilize them.
UNITAR/UNOSAT and Google aim to provide map data for improved disaster and humanitarian response
Monday, July 18th 2011
After years of successful collaboration, UNITAR/UNOSAT (the operational satellite applications programme of UNITAR) and Google have strengthened their collaboration by signing an agreement that will give the crisis response and humanitarian community increased access to Google Map Maker source data for use in their disaster response and humanitarian activities, in more than 150 countries around the world.*
In times of disaster and humanitarian relief, access to very high quality and up-to-date baseline data of critical infrastructure such as roads, bridges, hospitals, etc. has always been essential to help humanitarian and relief workers, as well as civic administrators on the ground, to make sense of satellite-based maps. Google Map Maker addresses a significant part of these data needs by enabling users to share their geographic expertise about the places where they live, visit and know in great detail. Those contributions are then reviewed and verified through community moderation, and made available on Google Maps and Earth in near real-time.
Under this agreement UNITAR/UNOSAT will act as a conduit within the United Nations family and its Member States to make Google Map Maker data more widely and easily available to aid organizations in the event of major disasters and for humanitarian efforts. Government and United Nations agencies will be able to contact UNOSAT/UNITAR (e-mail: unosat at unitar.org) for consideration as potential licensees of the Google Map Maker data, for their disaster response, humanitarian and development projects. This agreement builds on dozens of previous joint mapping efforts between UNITAR/UNOSAT and Google, such as the ones that were coordinated for Pakistan, Sudan, and West Africa.
“UNITAR/UNOSAT is always harnessing cutting edge remote sensing and geospatial technology. This new ability to integrate Google Map Maker data more widely into our satellite analysis will have a monumental impact on UNOSAT’s ongoing efforts to make geographic information a key part of providing information for modern humanitarian relief. This agreement will also bring key benefits to the broader disaster and humanitarian community by making Google Map Maker data more widely and easily available,” said Francesco Pisano, UNOSAT Manager. “It will also directly bolster the support that we provide to the United Nations sister agencies by the International Charter Space and Major Disasters, from which UNOSAT obtains satellite data at no cost in case of major natural disasters.”
“We’ve enjoyed a strong relationship with UNOSAT for many years, built on a common goal of unlocking the power of mapping information and technology to solve real life challenges,” said Brian McClendon, VP, Google Earth and Maps. “We’re proud and humbled to share Map Maker data that has been contributed by our users with organizations and others who do impactful work providing humanitarian and disaster relief in times of crisis.”

new student introduced to the minister of Higher Education
Dato' Mustapa clicking the mouse marking the launching of the two products
The students welcomed the visit with Silat and Kompang performances symbolizing the traditional Malay culture which UTM strongly uphold, Dato’ Mustapa was also greeted by all students’ organizations in UTM including the students council (MPP). In his speech, Dato’ Mustapa said that he was touched by the grant welcome he received from the students and expressed his gratitude to UTM and the students for being able to organize the event in such a short notice. “As a leader, I need to meet you all in person in order to understand whatever problems you all are facing and how to deal with it. But it seem that in UTM, everything is in order, the registration process from what I have been briefed by Datuk Adham ran smoothly due to an efficient registering system provided by the administration of UTM. “I am also very proud with the achievements attained by UTM such as being the national champion of Robocon for the fourth time in five years and I am told they will compete in the international level this august in Hanoi. Even the famous Harvard University choose UTM for its ‘Harvard College Asia Project’, this proves that UTM has been recognized internationally as a premier educational institution.” He said.
Apart from the visit, Dato’ Mustapa also took the opportunity to launch 2 new products; UTM e-Portfolio and UTM Online Resources for Learning in English.
The e-Portfolio is the first of its kind digitally in Malaysia, the system was developed in order to help students to plan their study more efficiently. The students who recently registered were the first group of student that implements the portfolio system which was developed by the Centre for Teaching and Learning (CTL) and Center of Information Technology and Communication (CICT), UTM. The students can develop their own portfolio by uploading academic materials such as thesis’s, paper works, courses and other programmes in order to enhance their skills. As part of its ongoing effort to enhance the English language communication skills of its students, UTM has created the UTM Online Resources For Learning in English for all undergraduates and postgraduate students. The programme operates on the belief that effective language acquisition is driven by functional learner-needs within an acquisition-rich environment in which the learner, supported by available learning services and facilities, takes responsibility for their own learning. The Minister also spend sometime visiting the Sultanah Zanariah Library (PSZ), who recently launched the ‘Open Access Policy’ also known as UTM Institutional Repository (UTM-IR).
