“…Another article Kokic et al (2013) explore how lecturer and administrator collaborate to facilitate multi-dimensional learning and teaching through an online course development. Earlier articles related to online course learning and teaching still include Davis et al (2011), Bolliger and Wasilik (2009), Wilson and Stacey (2004), etc. Our minicourse design extensively employs online communication tools such as QQ group, WeChat and Superstar platform to promote mobile teaching and learning.…”

This paper explores the data-driven minicourse design for operational research at Chongqing University of Arts and Sciences. Situating this article on literature review, numerical simulation and comparison analysis methods, it previously sets the minicourse objectives as "can operate data processing", beyond that "may build mathematics model to optimize real problems in engineering fields, especially in logistics engineering field". Then, this article rearranges course contents into twelve modules and delineates each module in a way of a brief explanation with numerical example. These examples are solved by Matlab or related software. To disseminate applicable skill, we also released these Matlab codes which may be served as templates for secondary development of operational research pedagogy. The data-driven minicourse may be carried out in ways of both offline classroom and online mobile internet classroom, of which some modules are especially suitable to be implemented in flipped classroom pedagogy. Comparing with operational research implemented in undergraduate majors at other universities, our minicourse design is characterized as data-driven style, logistics industry-focused, mini case study pedagogy, rich mobile internet resources, as well as applicable skill training. Learners' feedback confirmed that the minicourse design equipped them with model application and software skills helpful for a successful career.

“…The results of his study indicated that the professor does not reach the level of performance to the degree of expected competence due to the need for academic methods and skills that lead to the expected improved academic performance. Davis, Sauber, and Edwards (2011) claimed that there is near universal agreement that in order for online programs in higher education to be viewed as legitimate and valuable, high quality needs to be assured. In their study, they presented a comprehensive conceptual framework which identifies the features, benchmarks, and institutional practices, quality of instructors, expectations and suggestions of a quality model for online programs in higher education.…”

This study aimed to identify the degree of faculty members' practice of the teaching skills in the light of the criteria of Total Quality Management (TQM) from the university students' perceptions at Al al-Bayt University. The study focuses on the impact of gender, college and degree of the faculty members' practice of the teaching skills in the light of TQM. The sample of the study consisted of (451) male and female students. A questionnaire of 72 items in four areas (planning, implementation, evaluation, communication) followed a five–point Likert scale was answered. Software package of Statistical Sciences (SPSS) was used to analyze the collected data. The results revealed that the faculty members' practice of teaching skills in light of the criteria of TQM is at a medium degree. However, the results showed no statistically significant differences in effect of the faculty members of the teaching skills in the light of the criteria of TQM in the fields of implementation, evaluation, and communication due to the variable of gender. Recommendations on applying TQM in teaching skills were included.
