The Impact

Artist–academic collaborations are fuelled by increasing institutional pressures to show the impact of academic research. This article departs from the celebratory accounts of collaborative work and pragmatic toolkits for successful partnerships, which are dominant in existing scholarship, arguing for the need to critically interrogate the structural conditions under which collaborations take place. Based on a reflexive case study of a project developed in the context of Tate Exchange, one of the UK’s highest-profile platforms for knowledge exchange, we reveal three sets of (unequal) pressures, which mark artist–academic collaborations in the contemporary neoliberal academy: asymmetric funding and remuneration structures; uneven pressures of audit cultures; acceleration and temporal asymmetries. Innovations at the level of individual projects or partners can only mitigate the negative effects to a limited extent. Instead this article offers a systemic critique of the political economy of artist–academic collaborations and shifts the research agenda to developing a collective response.

Information And Communication

This chapter presents the results of a case study pertaining to the use of information and communication media to support a range of project management tasks. A variety of electronic communication tools have evolved to support collaborative work and virtual teams. Few of these tools have focused specifically on the needs of project managers. In an effort to learn how practicing IT project managers employ these tools, data were collected at a North American Fortune 500 industrial company via interviews with IT project managers regarding their use and perceptions of electronic media within the context of their work on project teams. In this study, “virtual” describes the extent to which communication is electronic rather than the extent to which team members are geographically separated. Although the number of respondents was limited, the richness of the data collected leads to the conclusion that successful project managers and teams become skilled at adapting a variety of existing communication technologies to match the project task or process, the receiver, their own role as sender, and the content of the message. Groupware designers and developers need to better understand project management methods and best practices in order to provide better tools for practitioners, particularly as organizations expand globally and increasingly outsource various functions of their IT development and operations.

In recent years, with the rapid development of the complex building structures, the lack of collaborative work platform for the information exchange between different disciplines results in the phenomenon of information gap and information isolated island. Realizing such a demand, a software was developed for supporting information transformation from IFC-format data model to structural model. In this paper, A case study was implemented to illustrate the method of structural model transformation, The results show that the software can extract the information of IFC structural model and form a corresponding structural model.

With recent advances in wireless communication technologies, the world of mobile computing is flourishing with a variety of applications. This paper presents a mobile product information retrieval system that supports collaborative work among remote users. With the development of the system, a knowledge representation framework has been adopted which accommodates semantic relationships and similarity of product data. To illustrate the system developed, a case study in information retrieval for product design is presented．

Domain Constraints

Work-Centered Support Systems (WCSS) provide visualizations that reveal domain constraints and affordances based on software agent technology to support cognitive and collaborative work. Here we argue for a need to incorporate facilities that enable users to adapt these systems to the changing requirements of work—– evolvable work-centered support systems. We recently developed a WCSS for weather forecasting and monitoring in an airlift organization that is currently used in their operations center. As part of the development process we conducted field observations both prior and subsequent to system introduction. A striking finding was the constant changes that operations personnel faced (changes in goals and priorities; changes in scale of operations; changes in team roles and structure; changes in information sources and systems). We describe the changes in workplace demands that we observed and the modifications we needed to make to the WCSS in response. Our findings are presented as a case study to illustrate the challenges confronted in designing a WCSS to support a constantly changing environment. For today's fielded systems, making changes that are responsive to users changing requirements in a timely manner is seldom possible.

The Creation

The paper is concerned with methodological aspects of using Case studies in Business English language teaching at University level. It emphasizes the benefits and opportunities of the Case study method as well as the role Case studies play in practicing and developing language, business communication and managerial skills. The paper analyses Case study as an example of Task-Based Learning (TBL) method which focuses on communicative approach towards problem solving tasks presented in authentic Case studies. The paper deals with language and subject matter integration in the creation and implementation of Case studies in the Business English classroom which involves collaborative work of English language and subject matter lecturers. The integrated approach strengthens both students’ subject matter knowledge and language competence. The result of lecturer collaboration is the creation of Case study “Rukisu teja” which is based on a real Latvian family-run business and can be incorporated into both Business English and Entrepreneurship courses.

The University

In this article we evaluated the opinion of university students regarding the competences a good professor should have. The information was obtained from a survey distributed through digital devices to a total of 1.433 students from the University of Lleida, Spain. The two most important competences were to clearly explain the contents followed by motivational stimulation. The least valued were stimulation for participation and collaborative work, and coordination with professors. The highest evaluation was directed to communicative, interpersonal relationship, and methodological competences.

ABSTRACTThis article presents the results obtained and conclusions reached through the implementation of a strategy of teaching and learning, designed for the development of the laboratory activities for a first programming course. The same is based on the application of the collaborative work using a development environment, which combines some functionality provided by the learning management system, Moodle and a module that integrates the same, called Virtual Programming Lab (VPL). Future professionals in computer science by its specificity labor, will include and use the so-called information and communication technologies (ICT). Likewise, in the professional practice, the activity of software development, requires teamwork and collaboration. By all this, it is necessary to consider these requirements in the training of students of computer science, from the beginning of their training.RESUMENEn este artículo se presentan los resultados obtenidos y conclusiones alcanzadas a través de la implementación de una estrategia de enseñanza y aprendizaje, diseñada para el desarrollo de las actividades de laboratorio de un primer curso de programación. La misma se basa en la aplicación del trabajo colaborativo usando un entorno de desarrollo, que combina algunas funcionalidades provistas por el entorno Moodle y un módulo que se integra al mismo, llamado Virtual Program-ming Lab (VPL). Los futuros profesionales de Sistemas, por su especificidad laboral, incluirán y utilizarán las denominadas tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC). Así mismo, en el ejercicio profesional, la actividad de desarrollo del software, requiere del trabajo en equipo y en colaboración. Por todo esto, resulta necesario contemplar estos requerimientos en la formación de los alumnos de sistemas, desde los inicios de su formación. Contacto principal: [email protected]
