“…This disjuncture between educational research and theory production on one hand, and educational practice on the other hand has been noted in the literature and reviewed by Kezar (2000). In addition, Tight (2004) has commented that 'higher education researchers, for the most part, do not appear to feel the need to make their theoretical perspectives explicit'. In which case, it seems likely that their implicit perspectives will not be evident to those looking in from other communities of practice within Final edited version prior to publication (24 th AUGUST 2015)…”

The concept of pedagogic frailty has been proposed as a unifying concept that may help to integrate institutional efforts to enhance teaching improvement within universities by helping to maintain a simultaneous focus on four key areas that are thought to impede development. The structure of these four dimensions and the links that have been proposed to connect them are explored here through the analysis of interviews with academics working in a variety of disciplinary areas. The application of concept mapping in this process allows us to view the variable connections within and between these dimensions and the personal ways they are conceptualised by academics working across the heterogeneous university context.

Virtual Private Network (VPN) can be implemented by corporate and public user in a few methods. The methods included proprietary or open source solutions. It has shown great potential due to its encrypted traffic flow which gives it a secure environment. With a good reception of internet in Malaysia it is unfortunate that the major Internet Service Providers (ISPs) have imposed packet filtering. In effect they have throttled the fast broadband to become a slow medium. As a result it gives a disadvantage to active end user. To overcome an ISP packet filtering which slows down internet traffic, this paper intends to study and provide a sample of VPN solution service to end user to improve the current problem.

“…Theory talk, Thomas argues, must not be seen as being more important than the practice that the theory purports to talk about. So how do we explain the presence of so much theory talk in our work, not least when the use of theory within educational research is seen as problematic at best (Tight, 2004)? Is it a necessary element of our research practice in order to make robust our claims, conclusions and findings?…”

In so doing, the article proposes an acceptance of methodological pluralism that is tempered by the need to acknowledge the sometimes-slight differences that distinguish ethnographic paradigms.
