Taking eService-Learning to the Next Level / by Strait, Jean R., 1965-, editor 656157, Shumer, Robert D., 1947-, editor 656160, Nordyke, Katherine J., editor 656159, IAP Books (Online service) 656161

“…Strait takes us from the first chapter examining current issues and considerations for eService-Learning, to a second chapter that documents the growth and maturation of a program at Missouri State University, to chapters that introduce “critical” e-service learning with a social justice orientation (Gordon and Jackson-Brown), and chapters that address international experiences (Ong, Tan, et al., and Dietrich and Ekici) that involve eService-learning in Singapore and long-distance relationships between the U.S. and Afghanistan, to illustrate the multiplicity and diversity of current models of service and learning that occur through electronic means. …”

A Brief History of Blockchain Interoperability by Belchior, Rafael, S??enguth, Jan, Feng, Qi, Hardjono, Thomas, Vasconcelos, Andr?, Correia, Miguel

“…These recent developments have, slowly but steadily, contributed to the improvement of the scalability of blockchain networks, as well as providing new functionality and use cases [36], but there is still a long way to go until mass adoption. In this paper, we will dive into the rabbit hole of blockchain interoperability and explain why it is needed, what has work been done in the last decade (the past), how it is currently deployed and used in practice (the present), and likely paths of development (the future).…”
