La Grande Illusion : why Scottish further education has failed to grasp the potential of modern languages
The most recently available data from the Scottish Qualifications Authority show that modern language provision in the Scottish further education sector is on the verge of a total collapse. Building on previous research by Doughty (2005) and Bourdieuâs concept of habitus this article shows how the self-perpetuating belief that âEnglish is enoughâ has unintentionally affected data that are used to inform the content of vocational qualifications. The taken-for-granted assumptions underlying the data collection methods are challenged and some alternative conceptualisations are proposed regarding the role of modern languages in vocational education and society
Computer game development education at university
This paper articulates some of the challenges for computer game development courses at university level. A typical course development of this type is described. The need to include creative methods alongside more formal software development methodologies as core elements of computer game education is proposed and placed within the context of an industry specific framework. The evolutionary nature of the computer game industry requires that computer game development programmes at university should be equally evolutionary and adaptable to change

Determining the Health Problems of Alaska Military Youth Academy Participants
Alaska Military Youth Academy is an accredited residential high school program that utilizes a
quasi-military approach to teach life skills to at-risk youth. Physical fitness is a key component
and is modeled after military basic training standards. Participants in the program are largely
from disadvantaged backgrounds and frequently disconnected from the healthcare system. The
purpose of this project was to identify and describe the most life-threatening and/or prevalent
pre-existing health conditions of program participants. A retrospective review of applications and
pre-participation physical exams submitted by participants (N = 771) from March, 2012 through
February, 2014 was conducted in order to better understand the health risks these adolescents
face during the program. The top five most prevalent pre-existing health conditions in this
sample included obesity (n = 187), allergies (n = 170), asthma/reactive airway disease (n = 103),
attention deficit hyperactivity disorder/attention deficit disorder (n = 88), and depression (n =
81). Other potentially life threatening health conditions included a history of cardiac arrhythmias
(n = 5), congenital heart defects (n = 5), hypertension (n = 4) and epileptic seizures (n = 3). In an
effort to mitigate the risk of injury these young athletes face in an intense physical fitness
program, the PPE Pre-Participation Physical Evaluation (4th ed.) monograph (Bernhardt &
Roberts, 2010) was utilized as guidelines to make recommendations for improvement of the preparticipation
health history and physical exams used to screen AMYA applicants
