Collaborative Authoring of Adaptive Educational Hypermedia by Enriching a Semantic Wiki’s Output

This research is concerned with harnessing collaborative approaches for the authoring of Adaptive Educational Hypermedia (AEH) systems. It involves the enhancement of Semantic Wikis with pedagogy aware features to this end. There are many challenges in understanding how communities of interest can efficiently collaborate for learning content authoring, in introducing pedagogy to the developed knowledge models and in specifying user models for efficient delivery of AEH systems. The contribution of this work will be the development of a model of collaborative authoring which includes domain specification, content elicitation, and definition of pedagogic approach. The proposed model will be implemented in a prototype AEH authoring system that will be tested and evaluated in a formal education context

“New Way of Working” at Siemens: internal social responsibility and positioning a firm as employer of choice

Siemens, a successful international company, is investing great sums to deal with increased competition, reinforced cost pressure as well as the need for increasing efficiency in its business. The company developed and edited a sustainability program that connects business orientations, resources and management and the companies’ interest groups. Only with satisfied and motivated employees, Siemens is able to meet its corporate objectives more successfully within a rapidly changing business environment. For that reason, Siemens tries to achieve sustainable working conditions, whereby working culture and working environment play a paramount role. On this account, Siemens felt compelled to establish a changing working culture by developing a new project “Siemens Office – New way of working” in order to enhance employee satisfaction that will strengthen Siemens’ rank as an excellent employer. This case study is aimed to figure out how far the positioning as an employer of choice could be attributed to an enhanced attractiveness of Siemens as an employer that results from an increased satisfaction of employees due to the establishment of a mobile working environment
