Despite the success of academic advising dashboards in several higher educational institutions (HEI), these dashboards are still under-explored in Latin American HEI's. To close this gap, three different Latin American universities adapted an existing advising dashboard, originally deployed at the KU Leuven to their own context. In all three cases, the context was the main ruling factor to these adaptations. In this paper, we describe these adaptions using a framework that focuses on four different elements of the context: Objectives, Stakeholders, Key moment and Interactions. Evaluation of the adapted dashboards in the three different Latin American universities is conducted through pilots. This evaluation shows the value of the dashboard approach in different contexts in terms of satisfaction, usefulness and impact in academic decision-making and advising tasks. The main contribution of this paper is the systematic reporting of the adaptations to an academic advising dashboard and showing the value of an academic advising dashboard on academic decision-making and advising tasks.  相似文献   

‘This could be our reality in the next five to ten years’: a blogpost platform as an expectation generation device on the future of insurance markets     

Gert Meyers  Ine Van Hoyweghen 《Journal of Cultural Economy》2018,11(2):125-140

William James (1919) characterises hypotheses as either live or dead. A hypothesis is live when it is taken into account as a ‘real possibility’. We follow James’ suggestion to not attribute intrinsic properties to hypotheses, but rather investigate how they came into being and look at the effects they generate. Expectations of digital technologies are a topic of vivid debate in the insurance industry. Before these expectations can become ‘live’, they have, in the first place, to be generated by market devices. We investigate how the reinsurance blogpost platform Open Minds functions as an ‘expectation generation device’ on the future of insurance markets. Combining Beckert’s work on the role of fictional expectations with the pragmatist turn in sociology of markets, we propose to study ‘expectation generation devices’, provoking expectations on economic markets. In our empirical analysis, we demonstrate the explicit fictional character of the Open Minds contributions, and analyse how a contained space of openness is generated to provoke expectations. We demonstrate how Open Minds can become live through circulation to other expectation generation sites in the insurance industry and beyond. We conclude by reflecting on the importance of expectation generation devices as a particular type of market devices.  相似文献   

The editorial playlist as container technology: on Spotify and the logistical role of digital music packages     

Maria Eriksson 《Journal of Cultural Economy》2020,13(4):415-427

ABSTRACT

This article explores the role of editorial playlists in Spotify’s streaming economy. In particular, it approaches Spotify’s playlists as container technologies – i.e. technical solutions that assemble, preserve, and transport music objects and thereby uphold logistical operations within the music industry. Such an approach seeks to complement previous research concerning playlists, which has often analyzed their emotional and affective dimensions but paid less attention to how playlists enhance calculative, mathematical, and logistical retail flows within the online music economy. On the one hand, the article considers how playlists – like containers in general – materialize principles of modularization and automation in ways that enhance control and remote oversight. On the other hand, it discusses how the playlist is far from a perfected means of measurement and control, and sometimes acts as an unruly transport device. Ultimately, the article shows how the playlist format occupies an uneasy position between order and disorder within the digital music economy which has not yet been fully accounted for in the context of music-oriented media studies.  相似文献   

竞技健美操提臀类与分切类难度动作的运动学对比研究     

赵轩立  张晓莹  刘曦 《山东体育学院学报》2020,(1):82-88

高分值难度动作的选编是竞技健美操比赛运动员获胜的根本。作为难度组合的常用动作,提臀类与分切类难度动作在国际高水平赛事中选用甚多,两类动作技术的掌握对于运动员成套编排和训练以及难度分值的提升尤为重要。以高分值难度A207与A220为例,对提臀类与分切类难度动作进行运动学对比研究.比赛中两个难度区分度较低,容易混淆,A220较A207更具竞争力,但A220难度技术复杂,失误率较大。运用Qualisys红外光点高速运动捕捉系统,深层次剖析A220与A207每个动作阶段的运动学特征。研究结果表明:1)以背阔肌为主导的肩关节稳定性是提臀类和分切类难度动作推起腾空的基础。2)分切类难度肩关节高度高于髋关节,左右髋关节角度变化差异较提臀类难度动作更大。3)A207与A220两个动作总体用时无显著性差异,身体重心Z轴位移变化趋势无明显差异。4)腾起高度是运动员高质量完成提臀类与分切类难度动作的基本条件。  相似文献

Working for Barrier Removal in the ICT Area: Creating a More Accessible and Inclusive Canada     

《The Information Society》2007,23(3):193-201

This article describes the rights-based approach to access to information and communications technologies (ICT) used by the Council of Canadians with Disabilities (CCD). This approach challenges the thinking of policymakers, those in industry, and others who argue that access to ICT can be achieved through a variety of economic, business, or market-based perspectives. It argues that these approaches have failed to deliver accessible ICT to people with disabilities, and that improved legislation, regulation, policy, and programs are required to remove the barriers to ICT experienced by people with disabilities in Canada.  相似文献   

Bridging the Divide: Building Asia-Pacific Capacity for Effective Reforms     

Rohan Samarajiva  Sujata Gamage 《The Information Society》2007,23(2):109-117

This article spotlights the need to develop capacity for ICT policy and regulation within developing countries. It argues that capacity should to be developed among all stakeholders, not solely within government agencies, because that would enable effective participation by many players in the regulatory process. The resulting participatory regulatory process will in turn increase accountability and procedural legitimacy. The article examines different approaches to developing in situ expertise, especially just-in-time learning and open-source research.  相似文献
