In this paper we explore the process of appropriation attempting to broaden the set of topics considered significant on it. We present a model of appropriation derived from two studies conducted in the UK, Japan, South Korea and China. We describe our model based on a characterisation of elements supportive of appropriation in the context of use (discussed in terms of space/place, social practices...
Due to complex and heterogeneous nature of a software being used in present-day scenario, the need for developing solution to the design related problems, where solutions were made earlier can be reused in a recurring manner. For solving various design problems, it is observed that design pattern helps to find a better solution to many of the recurring design problems. Generally, design patterns are...
Cases have become commonplace for learning as they bring a connection to reality though rarely used for assessment. The case-based exam combines learning with assessment in the same instrument. Students familiarize themselves with a pre-exam version of the case while applying their textbook knowledge to the expected questions. The actual exam case adds additional information that invokes higher cognitive...
As the adoption of enterprise Big Data platforms mature, the necessity to maintain systematic catalogue of data being processed and managed by these platforms becomes imperative. Enterprise data catalogues serve as centralized repositories of storing such metadata about data being handled by such platforms, enabling better data governance, security and control. Standardized approaches, methodologies...
