The study is mainly based on a critical literature review as well as analysis of publicly available materials on the Australian Government's New Colombo Plan (NCP). The authors argue that the existing normative frames on outward student mobility (OSM), as reviewed through analysis of the Australian Government's NCP policy and the relevant literature, tend towards an unhelpful polarization that encourages a discourse. It is often fused with ideological elements imposed by institutional, government, corporate, and scholarly sources. It is difficult to locate literature which assesses the participating outward-bound students' voices and aspirations without prejudice. Thus, the existing normative frames covering OSM in Australian higher education require revision.

The proliferation of use of mobile applications has increased access to information and the way we communicate and collaborate. Higher education institutions must follow this trend and cannot ignore this. They should make efforts to integrate them in their routines, namely in their students. This chapter aims to extend the understanding about the actual use of mobile applications and how users report using them, namely in the classrooms. The main objective of this literature review is to conduct a critical literature review on this use. For this purpose, an analysis of several articles in reference publishers and journals was carried out. As a result of the analysis and cross-checking of literature data, it could be concluded that the use of mobile applications that users make and the one they claim to make may differ. It is intended to understand this problematic and analyse methods that may result in more precise data in this context. These data may be used, for example, to define strategies, namely helping higher institutions defining the use of m-learning.

Verbal Meaning

This study investigated, through observation of the Tshivenḓa female dress codes, the socio-cultural significance of such dress codes as a means of non-verbal communication. The non-verbal meaning embedded in different items of dresses conveys messages from the wearers to observers. The study adopted  a qualitative  design, since it used  document analysis and literature review as a means to adduce evidence that Tshivenḓa dress codes not only communicate socio-cultural meanings to the observer, but also signify gender, age group, rank, authority, status, and identity, as well as power relations—including the supernatural and the sacred. The study also revealed that there are dress codes that are specifically worn during initiation ceremonies among the Vhavenḓa people. In conclusion, we recommend that knowledge of Tshivenḓa dress codes should form part of the overall indigenous knowledge that needs to be studied in institutions of basic and higher education, and that for the sake of preserving this valuable information, communities need to be proactive in disseminating it to the younger generation.
