Communities in social media are social networks of people who share interests and activities or who are interested in exploring the interests and activities of others. In this video, Giovanni Gallucci discusses an overview of online communities.

Communities in social media are social networks of people who share interests and activities or who are interested in exploring the interests and activities of others. In this video, Giovanni Gallucci discusses an overview of online communities.

Most of the complex social, technological and biological networks have a significant community structure. Therefore the community structure of complex networks has to be considered as a universal property, together with the much explored small-world and scale-free properties of these networks. Despite the large interest in characterizing the community structures of real networks, not enough attention has been devoted to the detection of universal mechanisms able to spontaneously generate networks with communities. Triadic closure is a natural mechanism to make new connections, especially in social networks. Here we show that models of network growth based on simple triadic closure naturally lead to the emergence of community structure, together with fat-tailed distributions of node degree, high clustering coefficients. Communities emerge from the initial stochastic heterogeneity in the concentration of links, followed by a cycle of growth and fragmentation. Communities are the more pronounced, the sparser the graph, and disappear for high values of link density and randomness in the attachment procedure. By introducing a fitness-based link attractivity for the nodes, we find a novel phase transition, where communities disappear for high heterogeneity of the fitness distribution, but a new mesoscopic organization of the nodes emerges, with groups of nodes being shared between just a few superhubs, which attract most of the links of the system.

Learning communities, freshman interest groups, or cluster classes are a relatively new trend on college and university campuses. In addition to improving freshman retention and performance, these courses create a bridge between the basic course and other courses. Learning communities are curricular structures that promote academic success by emphasizing student-student and student-faculty interaction and interdisciplinary linkage of courses. Themes around which the courses are structured are broad concepts usually selected by the participating faculty of the linked courses. Some learning communities have implemented peer advisors and incorporated some kind of social activity combined with learning. Some have a seminar for the students involved in the community. Promoting a basic course as an important component in the learning communities especially when team teaching is utilized is also a way of breaking the isolation experienced by many faculty members. Learning communities have the potential to decrease communication apprehension. They also make the transition to college less scary for many students by giving them peer advisors. Learning communities have been very effective nationwide in improving retention. (Contains 17 references.) (CR)

With the diminishing of the supply of game, it seems likely that the remote settlements and remoter cabin dwellers in Northern Saskatchewan will have to accept an increasing degree of commerce with outsiders. It is desirable that the Northerner be literate in order to meet the requirements of employment and to conduct his own affairs. This report discusses relevant areas of knowledge and skill, resources, philosophy, psychological bases, lesson plans and materials, rationale for the symbol-learning materials, the pace of learning, training of coaches, two types of training in communications and arithmetic, training of coaches, developing the curriculum, sequencing the curriculum, evaluation, and maintaining the gains.

This study investigates a basic writing course within a freshman learning Community at Indiana University Purdue University Fort Wayne (IPFW). Multiple layers of data, both qualitative and quantitative, provide a thick description of what occurred overall in that classroom over the course of one semester. My findings suggest that basic writing classes are more successful within a learning community in terms of student pass rates and increased engagement. Thus, further study of basic writing courses as an integral part of first-year experience programs, especially those that utilize learning communities, should be a priority. (Contains 4 tables and 1 note.)

This article is from Health Research Policy and Systems , volume 12 . Abstract Background: Rapid urban population growth is of global concern as it is accompanied with several new health challenges. The urban poor who reside in informal settlements are more vulnerable to these health challenges. Lack of formal government public health facilities for the provision of health care is also a common phenomenon among communities inhabited by the urban poor. To help ameliorate this situation, an innovative urban primary health system was introduced in urban Ghana, based on the milestones model developed with the rural Community-Based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) system. This paper provides an overview of innovative experiences adapted while addressing these urban health issues, including the process of deriving constructive lessons needed to inform discourse on the design and implementation of the sustainable Community-Based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) model as a response to urban health challenges in Southern Ghana. Methods: This research was conducted during the six-month pilot of the urban CHPS programme in two selected areas acting as the intervention and control arms of the design. Daily routine data were collected based on milestones initially delineated for the rural CHPS model in the control communities whilst in the intervention communities, some modifications were made to the rural milestones. Results: The findings from the implementation activities revealed that many of the best practices derived from the rural CHPS experiment could not be transplanted to poor urban settlements due to the unique organizational structures and epidemiological characteristics found in the urban context. For example, constructing Community Health Compounds and residential facilities within zones, a central component to the rural CHPS strategy, proved inappropriate for the urban sector. Night and weekend home visit schedules were initiated to better accommodate urban residents and increase coverage. The breadth of the disease burden of the urban residents also requires a broader expertise and training of the CHOs. Conclusions: Access to improved urban health services remains a challenge. However, current policy guidelines for the implementation of a primary health model based on rural experiences and experimental design requires careful review and modifications to meet the needs of the urban settings.

This document reflects work that began prior to the passage of the Every Student Succeeds Act. In 2015 the Arkansas Department of Education began engaging with stakeholders to determine how the Department could better support students, educators, school and district leaders, and communities in their efforts to improve student outcomes. The intention was to maximize the flexibility offered under No Child Left Behind to rethink the approach to accountability, moving from a compliance-focused system to one of support. The goal is to unleash the professionalism and creativity of educators to provide student-focused learning opportunities for all students. The passage of the Every Student Succeeds Act provided an accelerated path for this goal to be realized. Programs included in the Consolidated State Plan are: (1) Title I, Part A: Improving Basic Programs Operated by Local Educational Agencies (LEAs); (2) Title I, Part C: Education of Migratory Children; (3) Title I, Part D: Prevention and Intervention Programs for Children and Youth who are Neglected, Delinquent, or At-Risk; (4) Title II, Part A: Supporting Effective Instruction; (5) Title III, Part A, Subpart 1: English Language Acquisition and Language Enhancement; (6) Title IV, Part A, Student Support and Academic Enrichment Grants; (7) Title IV, Part B: 21st Century Community Learning Centers; (8) Title V, Part B, Subpart 2: Rural and Low-Income School Program; and (9) Education for Homeless Children and Youth program, McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, Title VII, Subtitle B.

Control of urban development and preservations of open space have become increasingly controversial issues in recent years. This booklet was prepared to help citizens and local officials resolve these types of issues. It is intended to provide a framework for positive discussions between citizens and local officials, and includes an introduction to some of the philosophical and technical issues which generally underlie the creation of a systematic policy for managing local open space. The emphasis of the document is on citizen initiation of local government actions. It contains seven chapters concerning: (1) open space development in the United States; (2) a review of open space situations across the United States; (3) identification of needs; (4) planning, goals and needs; (5) importance of selectivity; (6) open space site analyses; and (7) implementation of open space acquisitions, funding and management. Sources for more information on these topics are also included. (TW)

A study focused on the extent to which historical and contemporary subjectivities interplay with structural and cultural constraints to influence the decision making and human agency of Mexican American adults of the Southwest in nonparticipation in adult education. The issue of nonparticipation was explored from a social action paradigm. Data were also gathered regarding the action taken in response to perceived educational needs and desires. Information was collected from open-ended interviews with 30 Mexican American and Chicano/a adults (22 females and 8 males) in 2 urban communities in Colorado. Findings of the study include the following: (1) study participants exhibited tremendous cultural pride and identity, which influenced individual decisions and actions to engage in culturally insensitive social institutions; (2) a majority of individuals reported past efforts to upgrade academic and vocational skills; (3) almost all study participants indicated a lack of faith in the dominant enterprise of education based on experiences of educational exclusion in childhood or adulthood, intercultural struggles, and larger social and economic inequalities; (4) participants resist discriminatory educational practices by refusal, by creating their own opportunities for learning, by relying on cultural norms and values, and by proving themselves by character instead of by educational credentials. Adults who had participated in adult education reported teacher insensitivity, monocultural curriculum, poor quality programs, and a lack of intercultural understanding. (Contains 93 references.)
