Content Management for E-Learning

The increasing growth in the use of e-learning environments, in which education is delivered and supported through information and communication technologies, has brought new challenges to academic institutions. From all the current definitions of e-learning, it can be seen that learning contents are one of the key issues for a successful e-learning experience. Therefore, there is a real need for academic staff, managers and librarians to re-think the whole process of delivering courses, information resources and information services. The book focuses on defining content management and its relationship with knowledge management, providing perspectives on how the semantic web could complement content management, how to deal with copyright restrictions, and how to describe information competencies and skills required and acquired by teachers and students in virtual environments. Offered is a design project for managing digital content for classical and distance education institutions, covering all the aspects related to the content lifecycle, integrating it into the learning process. Practical aspects such as standards for content e-learning management, a review of existing experiences of learning repositories, and a survey of available platforms for delivering courses and providing access to information resources is also covered. Lastly, the book addresses the three main factors which make it crucial in the current context: first, the web 2.0 paradigm, which breaks the content producer-consumer barrier; second, the open content movement for educational purposes, which changes the knowledge management transference model; and third, the new European Higher Education Area, where the concept of content needs to be rethought.

Evidence-based Clinical Management of Traumatic Brain Injury Patients: A Collaborative Approach

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) results in a combination of physical, cognitive, and behavioral impairments due to externally inflicted trauma, with over 300,000 hospital admissions annually (NIH, 1998). The purpose of this evidence-based project was to implement practice protocols to reduce sitter session usage and create a safer patient environment. The strategic cycles of patient assessment; ambulation and toileting; and hemodynamic status evaluation, enhanced patient monitoring and clinical performance by the nursing staff in TBI management. Comprehensive physical therapy and speech/cognitive therapy sessions provided the opportunity for patients to enhance their physical strength, independence, cognitive awareness, regulation of physiologic balance and sleep-wake cycles. Through the EBP protocol, sitter sessions were reduced by 80%.

Text and Cases

This book takes those traditional theories and interprets them from an Islamic perspective using more international case studies. Though primarily intended as a textbook for business students, the book is also extremely useful for any Muslim business leaders who want to transform their businesses while complying with Shariah, with a particular focus on developing corporate cultures and structures in sync with Islamic values.

The National Offender Management Information System

The National Offender Management Information System (C-NOMIS) initiative, begun in 2004, by the National Offender Management Service (NOMS) to build a single offender management IT system for the prison and probation services has not delivered value for money. The project had been hampered by poor management leading to a three-year delay, a doubling in project costs and reductions in scope and benefits. More recently, the National Offender Management Service has made progress in getting the project back on track. The core aim of the original project of a single shared database of offenders will not be met, though the number of databases used has been reduced from 220 to three. The project was to be introduced by January 2008, and had an approved lifetime cost of £234 million to 2020. By July 2007, £155 million had been spent on the project, it was two years behind schedule, and estimated lifetime project costs had risen to £690 million. The project was halted while options to get the budget under control were sought. The causes of the delays and cost overruns were: inadequate management oversight; the technical complexity of the project was significantly underestimated; budget monitoring was absent and change control weak. In addition, the main supplier contracts were designed in such a way that sufficient pressure could not be brought to bear on suppliers to deliver to time and cost. In January 2008, NOMS began work on a rescoped programme with an estimated lifetime cost of £513 million and a delivery date of March 2011.

Human-Computer Interaction and Management Information Systems: Applications. Advances in Management Information Systems

"Human-Computer Interaction and Management Information Systems: Applications" offers state-of-the-art research by a distinguished set of authors who span the MIS and HCI fields. The original chapters provide authoritative commentaries and in-depth descriptions of research programs that will guide 21st century scholars, graduate students, and industry professionals. Human-Computer Interaction (or Human Factors) in MIS is concerned with the ways humans interact with information, technologies, and tasks, especially in business, managerial, organizational, and cultural contexts. It is distinctive in many ways when compared with HCI studies in other disciplines. The MIS perspective affords special importance to managerial and organizational contexts by focusing on analysis of tasks and outcomes at a level that considers organizational effectiveness. With the recent advancement of technologies and development of many sophisticated applications, human-centeredness in MIS has become more critical than ever before. This work focuses on applications and evaluations including special case studies, specific contexts or tasks, HCI methodological concerns, and the use and adoption process.

Indeed, MIS centers on the study of information systems, rather than on
information technologies, which are these systems' constituent. Human actors
play an essential role in information systems. In the MIS field, HCI studies
humans in their ...
