Let us start by summing up some of the important assumptions and conclusions from the theoretical chapter concerning the concept of Academic Bildung. And then let us see how we can – now inspired by the different cases of teaching and learning in net-based higher education – rethink net-based higher education through a new discourse based on a Scandinavian conception of Academic Bildung.

The purpose of the study was to understand if and how 2 proposed facets of self‐identity (work‐self and career‐self) and journals' perceived quality (impact, visibility, and content quality) influence and explain the intention to publish in open access (OA) or nonopen access (non‐OA) journals. This study integrates attitude and identity theory within a cross‐sectional survey design. The sample ...

SLM and PAM(-L2), two models for second language speech learning, predict that learners of a new language will have difficulties in perception and production when confronted with sounds that are similar to sounds in their L1. The plosives /p t k b d ɡ/ make a good testing ground for this claim as their phonetic implementation is subject to inter-language variation. In this paper, we examine ...
