White, Su; Davis, Hugh C. – International Journal of Virtual and Personal Learning Environments, 2011
Many of the communities interested in learning and teaching technologies within higher education now accept the view that a conception of personal learning environments provides the most realistic and workable perspective of learners' interactions with and use of technology. This view may not be reflected in the behaviour of those parts of a…

Griswold, John S.; Jarvis, William F. – Commonfund Institute, 2011
Successful investing for long-term funds requires a strategic plan. This is true despite--indeed, because of--the fact that the future is unknowable. The plan must be specific, embodying in concrete terms the best thinking of the board of trustees about the investment pool, its goals and purposes; but it also needs to be sufficiently flexible to…

Chuah, Kee Man; Chen, Chwen Jen; Teh, Chee Siong – Themes in Science and Technology Education, 2008
In recent years, the application of virtual reality (VR) technology in education is rapidly gaining momentum. The educational benefits offered by such technology have prompted many educators as well as instructional designers to investigate ways to create effective and engaging VR learning. Instructional designers have examined widely the…

Tripp, Steven D. – 1991
This paper address three questions: (1) What is the nature of design? (2) How do skilled designers function? and (3) Can a theory of design be constructed which will allow novice and expert instructional designers to perform their tasks more efficiently and effectively? It begins by presenting two general theories of design: Simon's conception of…

Eastman, Charles M.; Harper, Joel – Environment and Behavior, 1971
In order to understand the dynamic influences of the physical environment on seating behavior, a longitudinal study was made of seating choices in the reading area of a university library. Based on analysis, a predictive model was outlined that extrapolates observed behavior in a space to new environmental settings. (BL)

Cagiltay, Kursat – 2001
This proposed study is to investigate the design and development process of electronic performance support systems (EPSSs). The primary purpose of this study is to help the EPSS designers by proposing a more effective and productive EPSS design and developmental model. By analyzing EPSS products and observing EPSS design projects, the research…

Zhang, Ping; von Dran, Gisela M. – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 2000
Investigates Web site design factors and their impact from a theoretical perspective. Presents a two-factor model that can guide Web site design and evaluation. According to the model, there are two types of design factors: hygiene and motivator. Results showed that the two-factor model provides a means for Web-user interface studies. Provides…

Kezar, Adrianna J. – Journal of Higher Education, 2006
Much has been written about the barriers to collaborative work, but little research has been conducted on how to foster collaboration within higher education. This article presents the results of a case study of four campuses that have organized to enable collaboration. The study builds on earlier literature from the corporate sector using a model…

Bodker, Susanne – Human-Computer Interaction, 1998
Discusses the design of computer applications, focusing on understanding design representations--what makes design representations work, and how, in different contexts. Examines the place of various types of representation (e.g., formal notations, models, prototypes, scenarios, and mock-ups) in design and the role of formalisms and representations…

Elias, Erasto – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2006
Design methodology (DM) is defined by the procedural path, expressed in design models, and techniques or methods used to untangle the various activities within a design model. Design education in universities is mainly based on descriptive design models. Much knowledge and organization have been built into DM to facilitate design teaching.…

Pennington, Nancy; And Others – Human-Computer Interaction, 1995
The research reported in this article provides descriptions of design activities and of the evolving designs of expert procedural and expert object-oriented (OO) designers and for novice OO designers with extensive procedural experience. Analysis of procedural and OO designers, in terms of their cognitive activities, design strategies, and final…

Okamoto, T.; Miyahara, K. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 1998
The purpose of this study was to develop an information filtering system which collects, classifies, selects, and stores various kinds of information found through the Internet. A collaborative form of information gathering was examined and a model was built and implemented in the Internet information space. (AEF)

Retalis, Symeon; Georgiakakis, Petros; Dimitriadis, Yannis – Computer Science Education, 2006
Design pattern creation, especially in the e-learning domain, is a highly complex process that has not been sufficiently studied and formalized. In this paper, we propose a systematic pattern development cycle, whose most important aspects focus on reverse engineering of existing systems in order to elicit features that are cross-validated through…
