DormStory Gap Year In North Korea, Job Of The Day

DormStory Gap Year In North Korea, Job Of The Day 1. Worlds First Confirmed Sexual Harassment Case  via  MOOC platform US colleges have had a bad press with sexual harassment at colleges. However who would have thought that sexual harassment would still prevail even if the student was not on the campus. This case casts the question, who oversees the MOOC platform through which universities offer their MOOCs. + Inside Higher Ed:  The harassment, however, “started day one,” Harbi said. Eventually, she said she discovered she was one of many women, which MIT confirmed. A cruel story of how sexual harassment started through a MOOC course. 2. UK University  Tuition Fee A Proven Bait Seems like, tinkering with the tuition fees is a bait any politician would offer to get student support. In 2010 the Lib Dems played the no-tuition fee card. And tuition fees shot up by 300% as soon as they came into sharing power. Now, Ed Miliband is rumored to be working on an eye-catching policy of reducing tuition fees to £6000 from current £9000. Be scared, we all know what happened the previous time a politician tried to tinker with tuition fee. + BBC:  Ed Miliband, wants to next month announce an eye-catching policy of cutting maximum university fees for students by a third, from £9,000 to £6,000. 3. Kings College Was Rebranding, who knew? Kings College London wanted to rebrand itself as Kings London. One of the reasons was because the term College caused considerable confusion amongst parents and potential applicants. Yes, in that sense Kings London would make more sense  is it? + THE: Kings College London drops rebrand plan   + Visual.ly: 10 Biggest Rebranding Failures, Royal Mail gets a mention too! 4. Gap Year In  North Korea: Surely A Selling Point! +HuffPo: Love teaching and want a quiet time?  You might want to add North Korea on the job search list. The secretive country is  looking for foreign volunteer teachers. The cost? £765 which includes travel,  accommodation and excursions. There is no way, I can sell this any further. For £765 you can get a TV and PS4. Try that instead. 5. Beautiful Libraries Around The World I love libraries, they have books. You know what books do? They enlighten however, it seems, printing currency on paper has more value that printing words on paper. As UK libraries face the chop in an effort to save costs lets still see some beautiful libraries elsewhere. + Guardian: University Library of the 21st Centuries in photos.
