“…In addition, the results of the experimental research similar to other studies (Allen, 1986;Handler, 2008;Marks & McLaughlin, 2005;and Snyder, 1998) in researching classroom management techniques (CAMTs and CARs) indicated improvement in student attendance (8.4%). This improvement reflects a positive significant correlation between the on-time attendance and overall grades through examining individual student's educational performance.…”

This research paper purposes to develop a technology attendance tool, based on CAMTs and CARs. The paper itself briefly describes the importance of using technologybased research results in university settings regarding the improvement of student attendance. The importance of this topic explained first, by selecting some research results found in an experimental research study on student attendance in university classrooms; second, by describing CAMTs and CARs as the fundamental elements of a technology attendance tool for the implementation of attendance strategy-based, conducted research; and third, by explaining the technical procedures of developing a technology attendance tool based on CAMTs and CARs. Finally, a conclusion addresses the most important research results and the development of an attendance system to refine recommendations for administrators in universities and researchers for future research.

“…In particular, the anonymity and convenience of web mental health resources may help promote greater information seeking among this population. As noted above, researchers have argued that CCWs are the most efficient means to communicate with students (Van Brunt, 2008) and can be a tool for disseminating information on outreach services (Marks & McLaughlin, 2005) as well as general health information (Hsiung, 1997). Surprisingly, although CCWs appear to offer numerous benefits, the first study examining the prevalence and nature of LGBT messages on these sites found that roughly 30% of these sites provided information on individual counseling services (Wright & McKinley, 2011).…”

“…Prior LGBT research stresses the importance of effective communications systems to serve the needs of LGBT students (Rankin, 2005). Indeed, prior mental health research examining CCWs praises their efficiency (Van Brunt, 2008), as well as their role in disseminating valued health information (Marks & McLaughlin, 2005) and their value in counseling (Van Brunt, 2008).…”

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) students continue to perceive a hostile climate on college campuses. For students facing these challenges, the university college counseling center website (CCW) may serve as a critical resource. This study provides an updated content analysis of the prevalence of LGBT communication on CCWs. Results showed that there remains a lack of LGBT-specific information about services provided on US CCWs. Furthermore, over-time analyses of 2008 and 2013 data showed that there have been no significant increases in any LGBT communication, and CCWs from religious schools continue to provide significantly less LGBT-related communication than nonreligious institutions. Separate analyses of UK CCWs showed that these websites were more likely than US CCWs to make any mention of LGBT issues but less likely to note group counseling services, links to LGBT-specific pamphlets, and educational outreach services offered. Overall, given attractive features of online health information, as well as the extent that students value CCWs, institutions must pursue stronger efforts to promote LGBT-related web counseling information.Although the university environment has improved for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) students over the past few decades, recent data suggest that conditions are still significantly unfavorable

“…Outreach activities around campus can bring health professionals, staff and students together to provide them all with evidence-based sleep knowledge and useful strategies. This would help address students' hesitation to seek help at student health services (Sanchez & King-Toler 2007;Marks & McLaughlin, 2005). Educating course instructors and professors about the negative impact for students who sacrifice sleep to meet assignment deadlines and study for exams is also important.…”

Sleep plays an important role in both students' academic and personal life. Despite widespread sleep problems among young adults, few studies focus on higher education students living in campus residence. This study investigated residence-living students' sleep patterns, sleep promoting practices, sources of help seeking, and preferred ways to receive information. Results highlighted that 66.8% of the participants did not think they had enough sleep. However, only 18.9% of the students sought help. The campus residence sleep environment was challenging for many students. Problems such as uncomfortable room temperature and noise were frequently identified. Students used different strategies to promote sleep such as opening the window, reading books, listening to music, and alcohol. Efficient knowledge translation activities to facilitate the understanding of sleep physiology and sleep problem solving are needed at both the student and the organizational planning/administration level. Further studies focusing specifically on sleep environment scans and developing best practice guidelines are recommended.
