Reiseführer - illusorische Medien der Bildung
Touristisches Verhalten findet seinen Ausdruck in der Formulierung und Strukturierung von Reiseführern, auch Praxis und Dokumentation von Reisen beeinflussen sich wechselseitig. Michaela Thissen macht als durchgängiges Kennzeichen die Standardisierung des touristischen Blicks aus: Antagonismen werden eingeebnet, ein harmonisches Erlebnis versprochen - so kommt es zu verkehrten Welten, die Imaginationen und Wünsche bedienen. Mit einem Fokus auf Kultur- und Religionsdarstellungen diskutiert sie, ob das Fremde zum Genussmittel wird oder ob die immanente Werthaftigkeit von Situationen Priorität hat.
Digital Game Based Learning
Digital games are a significant element in the digital media and information society. They influence the development of media technologies as well as interface design, online social interaction and new evaluation approaches.The Fourth Symposium for Information Design focused on the question of how game based learning environments can motivate and stimulate learners in different situations, and improve learning. It presented didactical and pedagogical issues, as well as actual examples and concrete applications.

Affective and Emotional Aspects of Human-Computer Interaction
The learning process can be seen as an emotional and personal experience that is addictive and motivates learners to proactive behaviour. New research methods in this field are related to affective and emotional approaches to computer-supported learning and human-computer interactions. The major topics discussed are emotions, motivation, games and game-experience. The book is divided in three parts, part I, Game-based Learning, reflects upon the two-way interaction between game and student, thus enabling the game to react to the student’s emotional state. Having the possibility to detect and steer the emotional state of the student could have a positive impact on using digital games in edu...
Between Text and Text
The intertextuality research of antique texts and their reception in Medieval and modern times is the subject of this volume: (1) What is a text and what is an intertext? This concerns the various different forms of text and how they present themselves in architecture, iconography, lexicography, the study of lists, etc. (2) Forms of intertextuality – on the relationship between writtenness and oralness, how oral texts are objectified during textualisation and become fixed acts of speech (K. Ehlich), how especially antique texts were shaped by the continual interconnectedness of oral and written traditions. (3) What is understood in ancient Oriental and antique literature by "tradition" and...
The Calling
The 1599 painting, The Calling of Matthew by Caravaggio inspired Rod Ensor's story that merges history, fiction and symbolism through the eyes of Victor Bou, a scientist who is lured into a secret scheme to rescue a stranded Russian cosmonaut who threatens to destroy humanity. The novel's lines of reason transcend space and time, and blur the limits of fiction, reality, and science. It is a moving thriller with a scientific and technological premise. Its historical elements provide the theme and balance the fast pace of The Calling's contemporary plot. Like Caravaggio's painting, The Calling's narrative threads bridge two worlds. "The plot is wonderful. It weaves two completely different times and themes throughout the book. The way Rod Ensor brought the two storylines together at the end was brilliant. While there was use of four different languages (English, Spanish, Italian and Russian), it was done in such a way that it does not leave the reader wondering what exactly was meant. It was very evident." Janet Smith Author of best-selling Dunnottar and other novels
Handbook of Ethics in Quantitative Methodology
This comprehensive Handbook is the first to provide a practical, interdisciplinary review of ethical issues as they relate to quantitative methodology including how to present evidence for reliability and validity, what comprises an adequate tested population, and what constitutes scientific knowledge for eliminating biases. The book uses an ethical framework that emphasizes the human cost of quantitative decision making to help researchers understand the specific implications of their choices. The order of the Handbook chapters parallels the chronology of the research process: determining the research design and data collection; data analysis; and communicating findings. Each chapter: Explo...
Advanced Introduction to Regional Innovation Systems
Over the past 25 years, the regional innovation system (RIS) approach has become a powerful framework for explaining the uneven geographical distribution of innovation in space as well as for developing policies geared towards boosting the innovation capability of regional economies. This Advanced Introduction provides a critical review and discussion of research on RIS to answer a set of core questions covering the origins of the concept and its theoretical underpinnings to the challenges for future scholarly work on RIS.
