This evaluation is based on qualitative interviews and online polls after the strategy was implemented. Two groups of users were involved in the evaluation: internal target groups (employees and heads of department in the City of Vienna’s public administration departments) and external ...

The complexity in engineering processes of high technology companies needs to carefully and efficiently manage the human resources competences dedicated to the related activities. Focus on an Italian aerospace company, Alenia Aeronautica, the paper wants to illustrate the use of set theory in order to represent objects, rules and indexes of the competence management methodology. This mathematic...

The purpose of this study is to promote the productivity of authoring teaching materials for teachers at primary and junior high school levels in Taiwan. Therefore, we develop a Content Repository Management System (CRMS) for management of learning objects on web-based learning environment. The ultimate goal of this study is to pursue cost-effective and high quality content on the web for schoo...

Enterprise Content Management Systems (ECMS) are often introduced in organizations without careful consideration of their support for organizational business processes. This paper explores the use of ECMS in a Diversification type of organization. A Diversification type of organization is characterized by low levels standardization and integration of business processes between business units. W...

THE CENTER for Curriculum Materials in Science (CCMS) and the Technology Enhanced Learning in Science (TELS) Center promote the design of curriculum materials and technology tools that help students develop an understanding of important connections among science ideas and the inclination and ability to use those ideas to make sense of the world. Researchers at both centers analyze the fragmente...

The structure of print and on-screen documents is made explicit through headings and links. Three important concepts for understanding explicit structure are (1) the display-unit properties of each document medium, (2) the flexible relationship between explicit and implicit structure, and (3) the distinction between populated and unpopulated locations in a hierarchy. These concepts help us bett...

Most university e-learning strategies mandate the use of a centralized university-wide learning platform. The learning management systems typically employed in this function are “integrated” platforms, i.e., large-scale systems providing most common e-learning functions in a single application. There are, however, a number of issues with this type of systems: Due to their size and complexity th...

We examine quality issues raised by the development of XML-based Digital Score Libraries. Based on the authors’ practical experience, the paper exposes the quality shortcomings inherent to the complexity of music encoding, and the lack of support from state-of-the-art formats. We also identify the various facets of the “quality” concept with respect to usages and motivations. We finally propose...
