The principle of Reusable Learning Objects(RLO) is to break education material into smaller chunks of material that can be readily digested and more easily learn by the learner. Hence, creating and developing courses based on RLO(s) gives learners the option to select courses that rebased on the learners personalised needs, optimised to cognitive needs and financially viable as well as creating courses...
This case study presents a real project, which was undertaken in a major oil company in the Middle East. The Case was business-driven at the early stages of the project but then technology push superseded the business lead. The project was first initiated as part of the organisation's plans to improve its performance through better use of IS/IT. The discussion starts with a brief description on the...
Learning styles theory is widely acknowledged amongst educational theorists. However, there is little research evidence on the adoption and adaptation of learning styles in an e-learning environment, specifically in respect of personalised learning environments. In this context, evidence identifies that the more thoroughly instructors understand the differences in learning styles, the better chance...
The housing industry in the developing world and for long time has suffered from underinvestment, the lack of know how and the lack of sufficient strategies and policies. This in turn, led to a total failure in performance, accumulative massive housing demand and underachieving. Consequently, and because of the massive growth in the world's population, especially the Islamic World, people in the poorest...
The ManuBuild Construction Site Training Simulator provides a virtual environment for practicing new practice-based skills associated with off-site production. The dasiascenespsila of this simulator take place on a virtual construction site, and mainly targets professionals i.e. project managers, construction managers, architects, designers, suppliers, manufacturers etc. Thus, construction-related...
Collaborative working in construction is becoming a reality as many activities are performed globally with actors based in various geographical locations. This paper discusses the development and implementation of a collaborative working environment for construction at the University of Salford which is known as Web-based IFC Shared Project EnviRonment (WISPER). The environment is based on a three...
This paper implements an Object Oriented Analysis technique to model information related to design and construction. In a previous study, an approach to integrate design and construction processes based upon information analysis and modelling has been proposed. By breaking down the project's vast information into groups of related information, construction related problems have been identified and...
