The relationship between physical activity and educational and health outcomes is well known. As the significance of digital devices continues to increase, along with societal reliance on them, the provision of programs that draw technology and physical activity together is increasingly important. The recent Pokemon phenomenon is an example of a digitally-driven physical activity that appealed to both adults and children alike. This paper reports on the proof of concept phase of a development that brings to digital life a physical activity program designed specifically for preschoolers. The aim of the JumpStart project was to find a way to engage …
An Exploratory Study Of Personal Reflection And Collaboration Skills Using Online Collaborative Tool In Project-Based Learning, Sim Kim Lau, Wendy Meyers
An Exploratory Study Of Personal Reflection And Collaboration Skills Using Online Collaborative Tool In Project-Based Learning, Sim Kim Lau, Wendy Meyers
Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A
By deepening our understanding of the use of Web 2.0 for reflective practice, knowledge co-construction and project based learning this paper aims to contribute to our understanding of collaborative learning. The paper investigates a case study of a post-graduate system development subject to increase student learning through the development of students' personal reflection and collaboration skills. The project aims to develop key foundational knowledge and skills identified in the IS 2010 curriculum guidelines, i.e. the ability to work collaboratively. Of particular interest was the ability of student collaboration combined with personal reflective learning to lead to negotiation of meaning and …

This paper discusses some agency theory aspects that apply to the modern supply network. The discussion extends to cover how agency theory influences and affects business relationships in modern industrial supply networks. The underlying correlation between agency theory and the overall supply network performance is investigated by reviewing the existing literature. The paper also overviews a current research in progress, the research is concerned with performance and how it can be improved through reducing risk and improving collaboration in a multi-agent supply network. Flexibility and agency cost are proposed metrics for measuring performance from an organizational, agency perspective. The research …

In today’s challenging business environment, organisations not only need to continue to leverage their internal sources of competitive advantage but also should strive to harness synergies across the multiple supply chains that they are part of. However, this has to be achieved through effective collaboration between partner organisations. This paper contributes to the current scholarly discourse on this topic by the application of the “Agency Theory” to the issues around supply chain integration and collaboration, towards enhancing operational performance. The paper presents a classification of supply chain integration and collaboration, as well as a conceptual framework, for understanding and explaining …

Collaboration in virtual environments has the potential to support communication and collaboration in multi-disciplinary teams. Current software for documenting and developing models of buildings focuses on supporting a single user who is a specialist in the specific software used within their own discipline. In this paper we report on the research, and a proposed approach, in supporting multiple disciplines in virtual worlds. We emphasise that the views and models are founded on the functional concerns of designers and the concerns are discipline specific. An agentbased approach to representing multiple views is described, along with a virtual world environment that supports …
