Southern Forest Opportunities

No section of the United States offers more favorable opportunities for forest culture than the South. Its 270 million acres of forest represents two-fifths of the commercial forest land of the entire nation. Proper development of this great natural resource will help to assure ample future wood supplies for the whole country, as well as furnishing continuous employment and an improved standard of living for many people in the region. Fortunately, the South offers many advantages for the maintenance of forest industries on a large scale. The soil and climate favor rapid tree growth; there are numerous valuable hardwood and softwood tree species native to the region; 1ogging operations are relatively simple; all parts of the region are easily accessible to good rail and water transportation facilities; markets for forest products are generally good; ample labor is at hand; and industrial development is well under way

Students' Attitudes Towards Rapport-building Traits and Practices in Online Learning Environments

This research was a triangulated study of student attitudes towards instructors' rapport-building traits and their preferences amongst instructors' rapport-building practices in online learning environments. Participants were undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in courses within an educational technology program at a central Texas university. The study employed a mixed-methods approach involving the Likert-item assessment of learners' attitudes, the identification and prioritization of learner preferences through pairwise comparisons, and semi-structured interviews that provided richer, more detailed information. Findings indicated a strong preference for instructor-based traits and practices over pedagogically-based ones. These traits and practices loaded into the components of social presence, enjoyable interaction, and personal connection
