This article is part of a case study of federal leadership in special education from the perspective of those who served in the roles of assistant secretaries of the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitation Services (OSERS) and directors of the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP), or their equivalents in the former U.S. Office of Education and later U.S. Department of Education. The perspectives cover the time period since the passage of the Education for All Handicapped Children Act of 1975 to amendments of Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) in 1997 and the end of the Clinton administration in 2001. The participants detailed their (a) career and appointment, (b) vision for educating students with disabilities, (c) theory of change, (d) politics and financial constraints, (e) advocacy, and (f) views of the past, present, and future.

The system providing the automated monitoring of changes in web resources was designed and developed. The entire process is divided into five parts. Each subsequent stage included some parts of the previous one. The practical value of this system resides in the ability to detect, in the shortest possible time, the changes in web-resource. In case, if unwanted changes were detected, the user will be able to perform the correction without the need for constant monitoring of content by developers. This facilitates the process of restoring the satisfactory state of web site after unauthorized changes were made. It also allows to track the competitors’ web pages in order to timely improve their own products.

The use of new methodologies in teaching and learning mathematics is very important, as it allows the creation of new possibilities for learning mathematical objects, favoring a more active student's interaction with knowledge. Web resources can be used as a teaching methodology to support mathematics learning for engineering students. With the main objective of evaluating the contribution of using a Web resource in approaching the thematic domain of Mathematical Analysis, more specifically, in calculating areas through the definite integral, a case study was implemented. In this study, through a web page, the aim was to assess the level of development of technological competencies, specific and transversal mathematical competencies, knowledge, and skills. It took place in a normal academic environment, with students from the 1.st year of the Degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Institute of Engineering of Coimbra. The analysis to which the data was subjected, collected through various information collection techniques and instruments, allowed us to conclude that the resources used to support the implemented didactic approach had positive repercussions in terms of technological and mathematical development related to the topics mentioned.

What is and is not part of a web resource does not have a simple answer. Exploration of web resource boundaries have shown that people's assessments of resource bounds rely on understanding relationships between content fragments on the same web page and between content fragments on different web pages. This study explores whether such perceptions change based on whether the archive is for personal use or is institutional in nature. This survey explores user expectations when accessing archived web resources. Participants in the study were asked to assume they are making use of an archive provided by an institution tasked with preserving online resources, such as a digital archive that is part of the Library of Congress. Groups of pair web pages presented to the participants. Each group has a primary web page that is the resource being saved by the institutional archive. Each group has several subsequent parts or pages, which we will ask about. Consistent with our previous study on personal archiving, the primary-page content in the study comes from multi-page stories, multi-image collections, product pages with reviews and ratings on separate pages, and short single page writings. Participants were asked to assume the institutional archive wants to preserve the primary page and then answer what else they would expect to be saved along with the primary page. The results show that there are similar expectations for preserving continuations of the main content in personal and institutional archiving scenarios, institutional archives are more likely to be expected to preserve the context of the main content, such as additional linked content, advertisements, and author information.

The aim of the article is to study the web resources of a higher education institution as an effective means of communicating the activities of this HEI. The study is based on the choice of methods for assessing the quality of higher education institutions’ web resources information content, taking into account the parameters of the effectiveness of its communication. The article identifies the role of official web resources of higher education institutions in modern conditions (in particular, in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic). In this paper, the information content of web resources of higher education institutions is defined as an information product. It is established that high-quality information content is a necessary condition for effective communicative activity of a higher education institution in the virtual space. The article uses approaches to assessing the quality of higher education institutions web resources information content by assessing the quality of such information products as software. That is why their quality is determined by a set of indicators determined according to the ISO / IEC-25010 standard, taking into account the parameters of the effectiveness of communicative activities of higher education institutions in virtual space. As a result of research it is established that to assess the quality of the higher education institution’s web resources content, taking into account the parameters of the effectiveness of its communication, the appropriate characteristics / sub-characteristics of software quality in accordance with ISO / IEC-25010 standard. It is this approach that allowed us to practically assess the effectiveness of free resources of the higher education institution in communicating with consumers of educational services in cyberspace.

This paper reviews our R&D studies on meme media technologies and their application to Web resources. Meme media technologies make the Web work as a meme pool, where people can publish their intellectual resources as Web pages, access some Web pages to extract some of their portions as meme media objects through drag-and-drop operations, visually combine these meme media objects together with other meme media objects to compose new intellectual resources, and publish these resources again as Web pages. Such a visual composition through direct manipulation can define not only the layout of components, but also interoperations among these components.KeywordsAnchor NodePath ExpressionIntellectual ResourceSlot ConnectionLive CopyThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.

In the United States, the incidence rate of new or recurrent stroke is approximately 795 000 per year, and stroke prevalence for individuals over the age of 20 years is estimated at 6.5 million.1 Mortality rates in the first 30 days after stroke have decreased because of advances in emergency medicine and acute stroke care. In addition, there is strong evidence that organized postacute, inpatient stroke care delivered within the first 4 weeks by an interdisciplinary healthcare team results in an absolute reduction in the number of deaths.2,3 Despite these positive achievements, stroke continues to represent the leading cause of long-term disability in Americans: An estimated 50 million stroke survivors worldwide currently cope with significant physical, cognitive, and emotional deficits, and 25% to 74% of these survivors require some assistance or are fully dependent on caregivers for activities of daily living (ADLs).4,5 Notwithstanding the substantial progress in acute stroke care over the past 15 years, the focus of stroke medical advances and healthcare resources has been on acute and subacute recovery phases, which has resulted in substantial health disparities in later phases of stroke care. Additionally, healthcare providers (HCPs) are often unaware of not only patients’ potential for improvement during more chronic recovery phases but also common issues that stroke survivors and their caregivers experience. Furthermore, even with evidence that documents neuroplasticity potential regardless of age and time after stroke,6 the mean lifetime cost of ischemic stroke (which accounts for 87% of all strokes) in the United States is an estimated $140 000 (for inpatient, rehabilitation, and follow-up costs), with 70% of first-year stroke costs attributed to acute inpatient hospital care1; therefore, fewer financial resources appear to be dedicated to providing optimal care during the later phases of stroke recovery. Because there remains a …

We describe several advanced functionalities of Magpie -- a tool that assists users with interpreting the web resources. Magpie is an extension to the Internet Explorer that automatically creates a semantic layer for web pages using a user-selected ontology. Semantic layers are annotations of a web page, with a set of applicable semantic services attached to the annotated items. We argue that the ability to generate different semantic layers for a web resource is vital to support the interpretation of web pages. Moreover, the assignment of semantic web services to the entities allows users to browse their neighbourhood semantically. At the same time, the Magpie suite offers trigger functionality based on the patterns of an automatically updated semantic log. The benefits of such an approach are illustrated by a semantically enriched browsing history management.

In Web-based e-learning, an up-to-date catalogue of subject-specific Web resources can effectively offer inexperienced students with an advanced academic portal on the Web. To automatically construct such academic Web resource catalogue, a key issue is how to classify the collected Web pages. However, existing link-based classification methods treat all neighbors equally in the categorization of the target objects. In this paper, we propose a context-based classification approach that can scale well for noisy and heterogeneous link data such as Web pages. We quantitatively measure the contextually topical dependencies between linked objects using the dependence functions, which are then exploited to classify the target objects in the link structure. Experimental results show that the proposed classification model can better capture the link regularities and can facilitate better categorization of linked objects.

Recently collaborative tagging has received great attention as a public effort to create and share annotations on the Web pages. In this paper, we conducted an empirical study on how this user added descriptions associated with Web resources can be used to enhance the existing Web search paradigm. Comprehensive experiments have been performed on data collected from delicious, one of the most popular collaborative tagging Web site. Some useful conclusions on the usage of different tags have been drawn from our data analysis. Based on these insights, we proposed an innovative tag enhanced exploratory Web search framework
