Jimenez, Fernando; Paoletti, Alessia; Sanchez, Gracia; Sciavicco, Guido – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2019
In the European academic systems, the public funding to single universities depends on many factors, which are periodically evaluated. One of such factors is the rate of success, that is, the rate of students that do complete their course of study. At many levels, therefore, there is an increasing interest in being able to predict the risk that a…

Corral, Will H.; Patai, Daphne – Chronicle of Higher Education, 2008
Is foreign-language teaching at the college level simply a numbers game? Put another way, should administrators follow the feet of students as they make their wishes known by the courses they choose? Sure, if universities conceive of themselves as trade schools preparing their students for employment. If that is really the aim, administrators…

Moursund, David – NASSP Bulletin, 1984
A permanent commitment to allocating two percent of a district's budget for the instructional use of computers would eventually provide one microcomputer per 10 students and adequate software, inservice education, coordinators, and contingency funds. Analysis based on the average district's resources may be applied to each system's needs. (MJL)
