A Dynamic Knowledge Management Framework for the High Value Manufacturing Industry

Dynamic Knowledge Management (KM) is a combination of cultural and technological factors, including the cultural factors of people and their motivations, technological factors of content and infrastructure and, where these both come together, interface factors. In this paper a Dynamic KM framework is described in the context of employees being motivated to create profit for their company through product development in high value manufacturing. It is reported how the framework was discussed during a meeting of the collaborating company’s (BAE Systems) project stakeholders. Participants agreed the framework would have most benefit at the start of the product lifecycle before key decisions were made. The framework has been designed to support organisational learning and to reward employees that improve the position of the company in the market place

Digital communities: context for leading learning into the future?

In 2011, a robust, on-campus, three-element Community of Practice model consisting of growing community, sharing of practice and building domain knowledge was piloted in a digital learning environment. An interim evaluation of the pilot study revealed that the three-element framework, when used in a digital environment, required a fourth element. This element, which appears to happen incidentally in the face-to-face context, is that of reflecting, reporting and revising. This paper outlines the extension of the pilot study to the national tertiary education context in order to explore the implications for the design, leadership roles, and selection of appropriate technologies to support and sustain digital communities using the four-element model

ReconFigure paintings

ReconFigure Paintings is a series of work that uses reproductions of historical paintings as a base for geometric abstracted marks, which block out the figure in the original compositions. The research explores contemporary painting as a parasitic practice on it's own lineage. The work was developed during a residency Standpoint Gallery, London during October 2011, which led to a solo exhibition presentation. Bracey spent much of his time in the National Gallery researching specific paintings, such as Delarouche's Execution of Lady Grey and Leonardo Da Vinci's Virgin on the Rocks, resulting in a triptych of new paintings in response to the Da Vinci and 2 new paintings in relation to the Delarouche. ReconFigure Paintings builds on research disseminated previously in the artefacts Transitory Paintings, Self Portrait, an artist's book of over 100 reflected self portraits in artworks and palette Parasite, where artworks were installed on the outside of gallery (Ikon Gallery, Birmingham; Manchester Art gallery; The Collection, Lincoln and Wolverhampton Art Gallery, curated by Anneka French) walls. As part of the residency at Standpoint Gallery, Bracey delivered an in-conversation public talk with Peter Ashton-Jones editor of Turps Banana. The work has been further shown in Manchester Contemporary with Castlefield Gallery (2011), Art Gwanju:12, South Korea (2012), A Blind Python with Jewelled Eyes, Greestone Gallery, Lincoln (2012), A Private Affair, Harris Museum and Gallery, Preston (2012) Andrew Bracey, Jon Barraclough, Emma Stibbon and Julie McCalden, South Wales and Severn Office of the Canal & River Trust, Gloucester (2012), Possession, Bangkok Art and Culture Center, Bangkok, Thailand (2013), Mondegreen Ekphrasis, The Collection, Lincoln (2013), The Ends of Art, Beton7, Athens (2013)

Building University-School Partnerships: An Exercise in Communication and Understanding

This article provides an overview of the Collaboration to Advance Teaching Technology and Science (CATTS) program and the conditions necessary to establish and maintain partnerships that promote inquiry and research in schools. These programs are effective because they benefit all stakeholders. CATTS creates opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students (the CATTS Fellows) to learn effective teaching practices and to be active participants in K-12 education. School districts and University of Arizona outreach programs benefit when CATTS Fellows work on projects that address identified educational needs in K-12 schools. K-12 teachers and students benefit from the additional classroom assistance and resources provided through the CATTS program. Educational levels: Graduate or professional

Google Glass App for Displaying ASL Videos for Deaf Children – The Preliminary Race

Glass Vision 3D is a grant-funded project focused on the goal of developing and researching the feasibility & usability of a Google Glass app that will allow young Deaf children to look at an object in the classroom and see an augmented reality projection that displays an American Sign Language (ASL) related video. Session will show the system (Glass app) that was developed and summarize feedback gathered during focus-group testing of the prototype

Seafloor characterization using airborne hyperspectral co-registration procedures independent from attitude and positioning sensors

The advance of remote-sensing technology and data-storage capabilities has progressed in the last decade to commercial multi-sensor data collection. There is a constant need to characterize, quantify and monitor the coastal areas for habitat research and coastal management. In this paper, we present work on seafloor characterization that uses hyperspectral imagery (HSI). The HSI data allows the operator to extend seafloor characterization from multibeam backscatter towards land and thus creates a seamless ocean-to-land characterization of the littoral zone
