Towards Sustainable and Scalable Educational Innovations Informed by the Learning Sciences
One of the basic principles that underpin the learning sciences is to improve theories of learning through the design of powerful learning environments that can foster meaningful learning. Learning sciences researchers prefer to research learning in authentic contexts. This book focuses on learning sciences in the Asia-Pacific context.
Current Advances in Anaerobic Digestion Technology
Anaerobic digestion (AD) is one of the oldest biotechnological processes and originally referred to biomass degradation under anoxic conditions in both natural and engineered systems. It has been used for decades to treat various waste streams and to produce methane-rich biogas as an important energy carrier, and it has become a major player in electrical power production. AD is a popular, mature technology, and our knowledge about the influencing process parameters as well as about the diverse microbial communities involved in the process has increased dramatically over the last few decades. To avoid competition with food and feed production, the AD feedstock spectrum has constantly been ex...
Human-Computer Interaction
This volume, one of a two volume set, is from the August 1999 HCI International conference papers presented in Munich, Germany. Human Computer Interaction: Communication, Cooperation, and Application Design focuses on the informative and communicative aspects of computer use. A larger number of contributions is concerned with computer-supported cooperation using a wide variety of different techniques. In keeping with the increased focus of HCI International '99 on internet issues and aspects of the global information society, many papers in this volume are centered around information and communication networks and their implications for work, learning, and every-day activities. Due to the growing number and diversity of groups utilizing modern information technologies, issues of accessibility and design for all are becoming more and more pertinent. A range of papers in this volume address these issues and provide the latest research and development results.
Digitalization in Industry
This book traces how the current wave of industrial digitalization relates to processes of domination and emancipation. It aims to counter techno-deterministic narratives that would connect a perceived new ‘industrial revolution’ with clear-cut societal consequences. In order to do this, the volume intervenes into three ongoing discussions which pertain to emancipation and domination in the workplace, promises of emancipation through digital fabrication, and the idea of emancipating, configuring, and infrastructuring the users of industrial products. Within this framework it addresses topics including democratic participation, management thinking, gamification, the maker movement, reshoring, digital platforms, and the automation of healthcare.
International Bibliography of Sociology 1995
The IBSS is the essential tool for librarians, university departments, research institutions and any public or private institution whose work requires access to up-to-date and comprehensive knowledge of the social sciences.
Cognitive Tools for Learning
Hypermedia technology needs a creative approach from the outset in the design of software to facilitate human thinking and learning. This book opens a discussion of the potential of hypermedia and related approaches to provide open exploratory learning environments. The papers in the book are based on contributions to a NATO Advanced Research Workshop held in July1990 and are grouped into six sections: - Semantic networking as cognitive tools, - Expert systems as cognitive tools, - Hypertext as cognitive tools, - Collaborative communication tools, - Microworlds: context-dependent cognitive tools, - Implementing cognitive tools. The book will be valuable for those who design, implement and evaluate learning programs and who seek to escape from rigid tactics like programmed instruction and behavioristic approaches. The book presents principles for exploratory systems that go beyond existing metaphors of instruction and provokes the reader to think in a new way about the cognitive level of human-computer interaction.
Social Innovations, Institutional Change, and Economic Performance
À much needed examination of a neglected issue - how societies, regions and institutions adjust to our rapidly changing economic world.'. - W. Brian Arthur, Santa Fe Institute, New Mexico. T̀his is a marvellously rich work of synthesis, bringing together a very wide range of theoretical perspectives to make sense of contemporary patterns of economic and social change. Its range of reference is remarkable - and it is further proof that much of the most interesting theoretical and empirical work today is being done on the boundaries of disciplines.'. - Geoff Mulgan, Director, The Young Foundati.
Arbeit 4.0 – Digitalisierung, IT und Arbeit
Die Digitalisierung transformiert die Arbeitswelt in vieler Hinsicht: Arbeitsplätze werden zunehmend mobil und flexibel, Arbeitsprozesse durch Algorithmen gesteuert, Roboter sind die neuen „Kollegen“ in der Industrie und im Dienstleistungssektor. Dieser Band der „Edition HMD“ erörtert viele zentrale Fragen rund um die Transformation der Arbeitswelt von heute und morgen. In ihren Beiträgen über den Einfluss der massiven Digitalisierung auf unterschiedliche Branchen und Arbeitsbereiche diskutieren die Autorinnen und Autoren diverse Aspekte wie: • den Einfluss der Digitalisierung im Versandhandel und auf die Wissensarbeit. • die Interaktion von Mensch und Roboter in der Fabrik 4...
Memories And Impressions Of Helena Modjeska
The car comes to a stop. After several years of absence, I am in Poland again. The sun sheds upon the snow myriads of sparks, which glisten like so many precious gems; a purple strip of mist rises above the distant forest of dark, pointed pines, which form a background to white, humble huts, throbbing with lives of patience and toil, under the iron hand of the ruler... I feel a mysterious glow penetrating into the very depth of my heart, tears rise to my eyes; I humbly bow my head and whisper, "Hail, beloved..." "Einsteigen, meine Herrschaften,” shouts the metallic voice of the conductor, waking me from my revery, and by his sudden cry in a foreign language brutally recalling to my mind th...
Mediale Inszenierung virtueller Teamarbeit
Josephine Hofmann entwickelt einen Bezugsrahmen, anhand dessen sie aufzeigt, welche Effekte sich durch die medialen Kooperationsumgebungen ergeben können. In drei Fallstudien untersucht sie, ob und in welcher Form diese Effekte eintreten und wie sie gestaltet werden können. Ausgezeichnet mit dem Wolfgang-Heilmann-Preis für humane Nutzung der Informationstechnologie (Integrata-Stiftung) 2003.
