e-Learning and indeed blended learning are now established integral ways in which education and training are managed and delivered across all levels of education and in the workplace. The International e-Learning Excellence Awards provides an opportunity for individuals and groups to consider new and innovative ways of using this method of learning. The response this year to the nineth International e-Learning Excellence Awards reflects the continuing innovation being practised in many parts of the world. With 24 initial submissions from 12 countries, 20 competitors were invited to send in a full case history describing their initiative. The range of subjects written about in the case histories has certainly been extensive and the panel of expert judges had their job cut out for them to find the most interesting case histories and short list them to the finalists published in this anthology.14 authors or groups of authors have been invited to present their work in the final rounds of this competition at the 2023 European Conference on e-Learning, being held at the University of South Africa in Pretoria, South Africa, and as finalists these initiatives are published in this book of case histories. The topics to be addressed are listed in the Contents page of this book and represent projects from Australia, China, Palestine, Portugal, Sri Lanka, South Africa, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States.I would like to thank all the contributors to the book for the excellent work which has been done towards developing new and interesting ways of applying e-Learning. And of course, it is also important to thank the individuals who constituted our panel of expert judges.

Today more than ever Innovation and entrepreneurship skills are needed by both individuals starting out on new business endeavours and to employers. But there has always been an issue surrounding how to teach and learn these skills. Some universities offer degrees or other courses in these subjects, whilst others incorporate these topics in a variety of different degrees. But whatever approach the university takes these topics are quite challenging to teach, and also difficult to research. Courses and modules on these subjects are quite theoretical and often they neither deliver the practical knowhow required nor do they inspire students to become innovators or entrepreneurs. Fortunately, some good work is being done in this field in various parts of the world and this annual competition highlights such initiatives.The response this year to the 9th Teaching Innovation and Entrepreneurship Excellence Awards has reflected the innovative initiatives in place in many parts of the world. With 20 initial submissions, 14 competitors were invited to send in a full case history describing their initiative. The range of subjects written about in the case histories has certainly been extensive and the panel of reviewers had their job cut out for them to find the most interesting, creative and innovative case histories and short list them to the finalists published in this anthology. 8 authors or groups of authors have been invited to present their work at the European Conference on Innovation and Entrepreneurship supported by Universidade Portucalense, Porto, Portugal. The topics which will be addressed are listed in the Contents page of this book.

The Innovation in the Teaching of Research Methods Excellence Awards is an established annual event.We continue to be encouraged by the interest which has been shown in these Excellence Awards, as we believe that the case histories recorded here are a valuable asset to those who are trying to improve their teaching of research methodology in the social sciences.Initially 7 submissions were received, and 5 contenders were invited to submit a full case history describing their initiative. These case histories were double-blind peer reviewed, and this publication contains the entries of the shortlisted contestants. We are once again pleased to see the global reach these Awards have with contributions this year from India, Portugal, and the United Kingdom.

The Knowledge Management and Intellectual Capital Excellence Awards have been held annually for eight years. This year we received 14 case histories for our consideration. After an initial evaluation of the abstracts and full review of the case histories which made it to the second round, we are pleased to present the six finalists in this anthology.Each of these case histories demonstrate innovative and creative examples of knowledge management or intellectual capital implementation, covering a range of applications including using KM in SMEs, KM in collaboration with AI, knowledge sharing, KM as a means to fostering innovation, KM In the world of micro-finance and sustainability through knowledge management. The case histories this year illustrate a diverse group of ideas from Brazil, Germany, North Macedonia, Morocco, Portugal, and USA

The Innovation in the Teaching of Research Methods Excellence Awards is an established annual event.We continue to be encouraged by the interest which has been shown in these Excellence Awards, as we believe that the case histories recorded here are a valuable asset to those who are trying to improve their teaching of research methodology in the social sciences.Initially 16 submissions were received, and 12 contenders were invited to submit a full case history describing their initiative. These case histories were double-blind peer reviewed, and this publication contains the entries of the shortlisted contestants. We are once again pleased to see the global reach these Awards have with contributions this year from Canada, China, Italy, Portugal, and the United Kingdom.We feel that these case histories provide helpful insights into the types of issues academics are coping with when teaching research methodology today in various parts of the world.

There has always been some degree of controversy surrounding computers and computers have always been vulnerable. In the early days of computing there were cases of theft and criminal damage to new computer installations. Computers have been shot at and even bombed, causing extensive damage.Over the years there have been many attempts at computer fraud. One of the most celebrated was the so-called Salami Fraud where small amounts of money, which would be hardly noticed by any individual, were taken from a very large number of bank accounts, thus enriching the fraudsters. However, these were largely limited to corporate situations where the damage was contained. With the arrival of the personal computer and especially mobile devices such as laptops and smart phones the damage achievable by fraudsters and vandals and others wishing to inflict damage on elements of cyberspace has grown and a considerable number of people have had a lot of money swindled from them. In a similar vein computers are now also used as weapons to target other computers and electronic devices.The past 20 years has seen a massive escalation in the damage done in cyberspace and this has been accompanied by a growing concern about all aspects of Cyber Security. The ever increasing number of cyber attacks on individuals, organisations and national government agencies has reached epidemic proportions. It is not possible to know the exact extent of these attacks and the damage which they have done as no one wishes to advertise their vulnerability - even their past vulnerability. However, estimates suggest that the cost of these attacks have run into tens or even hundreds of billions of dollars. What is certain is that billions of dollars are being spent every year in order to improve cyber security.
