This file set is the basis of a project in which Stephanie Pywell from The Open University Law School created and evaluated some online teaching materials – Fundamentals of Law (FoLs) – to fill a gap in the knowledge of graduate entrants to the Bachelor of Laws (LLB) programme. These students are granted exemption from the Level 1 law modules, from which they would normally acquire the basic knowledge of legal principles and methods that is essential to success in higher-level study. The materials consisted of 12 sessions of learning, each covering one key topic from a Level 1 law module.The dataset includes a Word document that consists of the text of a five-question, multiple-choice Moodle poll, together with the coding for each response option.The rest of the dataset consists of spreadsheets and outputs from SPSS and Excel showing the analyses that were conducted on the cleaned and anonymised data to ascertain students' use of, and views on, the teaching materials, and to explore any statistical association between students' studying of the materials and their academic success on Level 2 law modules, W202 and W203.Students were asked to complete the Moodle poll at the end of every session of study, of which there were 1,013. Only one answer from each of the 240 respondents was retained for Questions 3, 4 and 5, to avoid skewing the data. Some data are presented as percentages of the number of sessions studied; some are presented as percentages of the number of respondents, and some are presented as percentage of the number of respondents who meet specific criteria.Student identifiers, which have been removed to ensure anonymity, are as follows: Open University Computer User code (OUCU) and Personal Identifier (PI). These were used to collate the output from the Moodle poll with students' Level 2 module results.

"Faculty Perspectives on a Collaborative, Multi-Institutional Online Hydrology Graduate Student Training Program" by Anne J. Jefferson, Steven P. Loheide, and Deanna H. McCay. Submitted to Frontiers in Water, in the research topic: “Innovations in Remote and Online Education by Hydrologic Scientists", May 2022

Abstract: The CUAHSI Virtual University is an interinstitutional graduate training framework that was developed to increase access to specialized hydrology courses for graduate students from participating institutions. The program was designed to capitalize on the benefits of collaborative teaching, allowing students to differentiate their learning and access subject matter experts at multiple institutions, while enrolled in a single course at their home institution, through a framework of reciprocity. Although the CUAHSI Virtual University was developed prior to the covid-19 pandemic, the resilience of its online education model to such disruptions to classroom teaching increases the urgency of understanding how effective such an approach is at achieving its goals and what challenges multi-institutional graduate training faces for sustainability and expansion within the water sciences or in other disciplines. To gain faculty perspectives on the program, we surveyed water science faculty who had served as instructors in the program, as well as water science faculty who had not participated and departmental chairs of participating instructors. Our data show widespread agreement across respondent types that the program is positive for students, diversifying their educational opportunities and increasing access to subject matter experts. Concerns and factors limiting faculty participation revolved around faculty workload and administrative barriers, including low enrollment at individual institutions. If these barriers can be surmounted, the CUAHSI Virtual University has the potential for wider participation within hydrology and adoption in other STEM disciplines.

ABSTRACT The health care model based on the Family Health Strategy, created in the early 1990s, encouraged changes in health education, highlighting the need to create lato and stricto sensu postgraduate courses aimed at empowering professionals that foster comprehensive health care. Periodic evaluations are carried out and encouraged by Capes/MEC in order to maintain the quality of postgraduate courses, but evaluations of recently-introduced professional master’s degree courses in family health remain scarce. Objectives To describe the academic profile, contribution, motivations and expectations of graduates of a Professional Master’s in Family Health. Method Cross-sectional and quantitative study to analyze the results of 102 questionnaires answered by graduates of the Professional Master’s Degree in Family Health of the Estácio de Sá University (RJ), who had concluded the course between 2007 and 2012. The instrument consisted of open-ended and closed-ended questions, sent by e-mail and made available online through the electronic platform Survey Monkey. The study evaluated age, gender, regional origin, academic background, as well as the contributions, expectations and motivations related to the course. Results The survey sample was formed predominantly by female graduates, aged over 30, from 13 Brazilian states and, mainly from Medicine and Nursing courses. The contribution of the master’s degree to the graduate’s professional life was evaluated as excellent by 77% of the interviewees. The expectations regarding the course were positively evaluated and the main reasons for seeking the qualification were scientific-technical improvement and personal satisfaction, rather than better salaries or job stability. Conclusion The course was evaluated positively by the graduates, having exceeded their expectations and satisfied the interests that led them to it, thus producing changes to their personal and professional life. A longitudinal analysis of the impact of the professional master’s degree in the career of graduates will require a sequence of similar studies, as has been stimulated by Capes/MEC in recent years.

Master Data Management Market Outlook

According to our latest research, the global Master Data Management (MDM) market size stood at USD 21.4 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 62.7 billion by 2033, registering a robust CAGR of 12.5% from 2025 to 2033. The surge in data-driven decision-making, increasing regulatory compliance requirements, and the ongoing digital transformation across industries are driving the rapid expansion of the MDM market. Organizations worldwide are prioritizing unified, accurate, and accessible master data to streamline operations and gain a competitive edge, further fueling market growth.

One of the primary growth drivers for the Master Data Management market is the exponential increase in data generated by organizations across diverse sectors such as BFSI, healthcare, retail, and manufacturing. As businesses accumulate vast volumes of structured and unstructured data from multiple sources, the necessity for efficient data management solutions becomes paramount. MDM enables organizations to consolidate, cleanse, and govern critical data entities, ensuring consistency and accuracy across all business applications. This not only enhances operational efficiency but also supports advanced analytics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning initiatives, which are increasingly being adopted for strategic decision-making. The rising complexity of data ecosystems, coupled with the need for real-time data synchronization, is compelling enterprises to invest significantly in robust MDM solutions.

Another significant factor propelling the MDM market is the stringent regulatory landscape and growing emphasis on data governance. Industries such as BFSI and healthcare are subject to rigorous compliance mandates like GDPR, HIPAA, and CCPA, which require organizations to maintain high standards of data integrity, privacy, and security. Master Data Management plays a crucial role in helping enterprises adhere to these regulations by providing a single source of truth, automating data lineage tracking, and facilitating audit trails. Furthermore, the increasing frequency of data breaches and cyber threats has elevated the importance of securing master data assets, prompting organizations to adopt advanced MDM platforms with integrated security features. This regulatory pressure, combined with the need to mitigate reputational and financial risks, is accelerating the adoption of MDM solutions globally.

The ongoing shift toward digital transformation and cloud adoption is also a key catalyst for the Master Data Management market. Organizations are migrating their core systems and applications to cloud-based environments to achieve scalability, flexibility, and cost-efficiency. Cloud-based MDM solutions offer seamless integration with other cloud services, enable remote access to master data, and support agile development methodologies. This transition is particularly beneficial for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that require affordable, scalable, and easy-to-deploy MDM solutions to compete with larger players. Additionally, the proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and the rise of Industry 4.0 initiatives are generating new streams of master data, further expanding the addressable market for MDM providers.

From a regional perspective, North America continues to dominate the MDM market, driven by the presence of major technology vendors, high digital maturity, and early adoption of advanced data management practices. However, the Asia Pacific region is witnessing the fastest growth, fueled by rapid digitalization, increasing IT investments, and a burgeoning ecosystem of SMEs and large enterprises seeking to modernize their data infrastructure. Europe also holds a significant share, supported by strict data protection regulations and a strong focus on data quality and compliance. Latin America and the Middle East & Africa are emerging markets, gradually embracing MDM solutions as part of broader digital transformation strategies. The global landscape is characterized by a mix of mature and emerging markets, each presenting unique opportunities and challenges for MDM vendors.
