“…Since at least the 1990s, there has been a growing sense that partnerships between universities and community organizations can and should be created, extended and leveraged in order to improve research (see Begun et al, 2010 ; Ocean et al, 2021 ), facilitate more effective knowledge translation (see Hart and Wolff, 2006 ; Ginis, 2012 ), and better meet the needs of community members, especially youth (see Ostrom et al, 1995 ; Denner et al, 1999 ; Ardoin et al, 2014 ). As a term, university-community partnerships encompass numerous and diverse types of collaborative projects between a university and an external community, which can be broadly defined, represented, and operationalized; communities, for example, might be represented by neighborhoods, institutions, or other social groups (Strier, 2014 , p. 156).…”

The focus of this paper is an evaluation of a recreation project partnership between a co-curricular university department and various youth community programs in downtown Toronto, Canada. The goal of the Hart House Youth Community Recreation Project (YCRP) is to build a bridge between the university and its neighboring communities through recreation, arts, and dialogue-based programming that responds to the needs and interests of community partners and their youth members. Informed by the understanding that university/community partnerships are often paradoxical, the study assessed understandings of the program from the perspectives of the stakeholders involved. To do so, semi-structured interviews were conducted with the following two groups: organizers and leaders from the youth community programs, and staff members coordinating the project from the co-curricular university department. The results indicate that meaningful opportunities can be created within such partnerships through the provision of access to unique resources and recreation spaces; inclusion of partners in planning and program delivery; and through forging meaningful relationships between university staff and the program participants. However, significant challenges to creating and sustaining such opportunities also exist, including structural and social inequities that result in participants feeling othered in program settings; the instability and “delicacy” of trust within partnerships; and funding structure and resources. The findings shed light on, and make recommendations about, the potential benefits that youth organizations might gain from participating in university-community recreation partnerships, as well as the paradoxical nature of delivering and maintaining these partnerships.

“…This would urge educators to investigate the usefulness of other sources of course reading, which was particularly important for community college students. Due to the lack of relevant literature on investigating the use of open education resources by community college students, he conducted an open survey of community college students who used treatment improvement programs as alternative teaching materials to collect their views on this specific type of open education resources [7]. Colvard Nicholas B reported the results of a large-scale study on the impact of the use of open education resources by curriculum teachers on students.…”

In the era of digitalization, educational resources are also developing in the direction of digitalization, so digital educational resources are born. Digital education resources play an important role in education and teaching, so it is very important to strengthen the construction of this resource. The student Management System (MS) is an important component of the university MS, which can play a certain role in guiding and standardizing students' learning and life. However, there are many problems in the existing student MS, which has been difficult to adapt to the management concept of the new era. In order to solve this problem, this paper integrated big data technology to optimize the construction of digital education resources, and analyzed the existing problems of student MS, which also gave corresponding solutions. At the same time, the student MS was also constructed, and the cluster analysis algorithm was used to test the system. The experimental results showed that in terms of average response time, the maximum of this algorithm was 1.83s, and the maximum of traditional algorithm was 3.31s; in terms of memory utilization, the maximum of this algorithm was 50.21%, and the maximum of traditional algorithm was 66.29%; in terms of Central Processing Unit (CPU) utilization, the maximum of this algorithm was 43.21%, and the maximum of traditional algorithm was 53.24%. In conclusion, clustering analysis algorithm could effectively optimize the performance of student MS.
