It also summarizes several mLearning projects the university has participated in and results from an mLearning survey conducted in 2007 which found that 89% of students owned mobile phones and over half had mobile internet access. The university began offering mLearning content to over 1,000 students in 2006/2007.
The document discusses P/mobile learning research at Corvinus University of Budapest. It describes some of the university's experiences with eLearning and mobile applications. It also outlines the scope of mobile learning projects, including the university's mLearning studio which uses an educational ontology for content management and delivery. The document provides examples of some mobile learning projects and related topics that could be areas of future research collaboration.
This document outlines steps towards building an ontology-based learning environment. It begins by defining an ontology as a way to capture shared knowledge that can be reused across applications and groups. It then presents an ontology model that maps educational concepts like curriculum development, learning technology selection, and competency mapping. The document describes how an ontology could enable adaptive testing, context-based learning, and human resource processes like recruitment based on competencies. Overall, the document argues that an ontology-based approach could provide a formal way to structure and share educational knowledge.
This document discusses ontology-based content management in a mobilized learning environment. It introduces several projects using ontologies for tasks like personnel selection, lifelong learning, e-learning management, and context-sensitive education. Key aspects covered include defining ontologies, developing adaptive testing and curricula tied to ontology concepts, competency mapping, and creating a context-based mobilized learning environment. More information can be obtained by contacting the author.
The document discusses mobile learning (mLearning) initiatives at Corvinus University of Budapest. It provides details on the university's eLearning activities, mLearning projects, and a focus course that made academic content accessible on mobile devices. A survey of students in the focus course found that the majority felt mLearning improved eLearning quality. However, some students encountered issues with small text sizes, graphics display, and navigation on their mobile phones. The document concludes that mLearning should be low-cost, support face-to-face activities, and have a clear and simple structure and navigation.
The document proposes an ontology-based, adaptive system to support personnel selection and recruitment processes. It discusses using educational ontologies to develop customized eLearning content for competency-based testing and selection. The proposed architecture would map job role ontologies to domain ontologies to generate adaptive tests within a learning management system. A case scenario applies the system to selecting candidates for a specific job role using existing documentation to build the job role ontology and customize the testing engine.
Mobile learning has been used at Corvinus University of Budapest since the late 1990s. [1] Over 3,000 students per year now access academic content on their mobile devices. [2] A focus course in 2007 allowed over 650 students to access lecture notes and tests on their phones. [3] A survey found that students saw mobile learning as increasing e-learning quality, but also identified issues like small text sizes and poor graphics. [4] Students recommended improvements like audio content, simple navigation, and promotion of the technology. [5] Conclusions were that mobile learning works best when low-cost, uses widely supported technology, and promotes on-campus learning.
The document describes an ontology-driven e-learning environment that uses adaptive testing to identify knowledge gaps. It consists of the following:
1. An ontology is used to structure educational content and provide the underlying logic for an adaptive multiple choice test.
2. The adaptive test evaluates student answers and tailors subsequent questions to map the student's knowledge based on the ontology.
3. Students receive customized learning materials based on the concepts in the ontology that their test responses indicated they do not fully understand.
4. The system aims to minimize guessing on tests and provide individually tailored feedback and learning instructions to bridge differences in competencies between educational levels.
This document discusses ICT for eGovernment and policy making approaches. It proposes:
1) Developing an integrated and inclusive policy approach that involves all relevant state and civil society actors in designing, implementing, and evaluating policy initiatives.
2) Viewing eGovernment policy as a dynamic set of regulations, incentives, provision and absorption of services that is facilitated by a changing regulatory environment and a mutually accepted quality of service.
3) Using policy modelling to find a dynamic equilibrium between policy decisions and civil society responses, covering areas like budgeting, law, adoption of technology, and non-financial issues.
1. The need for complex quality management across different levels of higher education.
2. Challenges universities may face in implementing quality management systems, such as IT requirements and data collection capabilities.
3. Using learning outcomes and competence-based curricula aligned with the European Qualifications Framework.
The document discusses using ICT tools to help address challenges in policy making. It proposes building a policy model using cloud infrastructure, semantic technologies, and information architecture. The model would help determine policy attributes, customize to changing environments, and provide feedback to policy makers. It would retrieve information from various sources to run specific models and support real-time decision making. The goal is to help policy makers deal with complex, changing environments and provide measurements of policy success.
This document discusses the use of semantic technologies in business process management. It begins by introducing business process reengineering and business process management, and how knowledge management can facilitate BPM initiatives. It then discusses how semantic technologies can help address knowledge management challenges in BPM, such as knowledge discovery, transfer, sharing, and renewal. Specific applications are discussed, such as using ontologies to enable automated translation between business requirements and IT systems. The document also discusses using semantic modeling and ontologies to enable competence matching for knowledge transfer and training in BPM.
The document discusses challenges and opportunities for innovation in the Danube region. Some key problems include lack of infrastructure between large and small cities, less knowledge transfer due to low capital investment, and competition between countries and cities. However, there are also opportunities to foster innovation through improved connectivity, sustainable development, smart cities, cross-border collaboration, and living labs. Developing new partnerships between businesses, universities, and administrations could help drive an open innovation system across borders in the region.

How to boost innovation in a small, open economy

13. Collaborative innovation environments
To reach faster innovation and to exploit the R&D results more
Efficiently, we need open collaborative environments where the
stakeholders do research and innovation for their mutual
interests. New innovation models in Hungary:
• Cooperative Research Centers (KKK) – University-
Industry R&D cooperation with focus on business
opportunities
• University Knowledge Centers (RET) – Scientific Center of
Excellence with industrial collaboration
• National Technology Platforms (NTP) - Cooperation in
developing long-term, joint R&D&I strategy
• Innovation Clusters – Networked cooperation of
institutions and companies based on common business
interest in a particular industry or area.
14. Open innovation & Living Labs
Living Labs – User driven open innovation ecosystem where the
users are involved in the innovation process from research to
product development via testing of prototypes.
(Concept coined by Henry W. Chesbrough)
16. Living Labs in Hungary
• Well-being Living Lab Nagykovácsi
• Innovative Learning Solutions (Flexilab)
• Green Living Lab
• Győr Automotive Living Lab
• Homokháti Ruaral Living Lab
• Creative Knowledge Center (CKC) Living Lab
• DEMOLA-Budapest
17. DEMOLA-Budapest
DEMOLA-Budapest:
• is a modern, open innovation environment at the Budapest
University of Technology & Economics (BME), where student-
teams create new solutions to real problems
• a platform, where students, professionals of project partners
and the university can collaborate in R&D&I
• an incubator site that connects creative students’ skills with
identified need and demands from the market, with support of
the industry
• an opportunity for students to contribute real-life innovations
with end-users
• an opportunity for organizations (e.g. companies) to run agile
development projects exploring novel technology-based
products and services.
18. Why do we need to expand the LL
Network in Hungary?
• Few innovative SMEs
– LLs can be a source of start-ups and spin-offs
• Low number of high-tech products and services
– LLs accelerate the prototyping and trials of innovative products and
services
• Weak academia-industry cooperation
– LLs provide „melting pots” for researchers and industrial professionals
• Low intensity of IPR activity
– LLs nurture innovative ideas that can be patented
• Gap between local SMEs and multinational companies
– LLs attract large companies to do precompetitive research on new
products and services
• Weak exploitation and commercialisation of R&D results
– LLs help to transfer the research results and ideas to the market
• Small amount of VC investment in start-ups
– LLs create lots of start-ups that are worth VC investment

Editor's Notes
Good Morning Ladies and Gentlemen! I am very glad to be here because last year I had the privilige to welcome the new members of the European Network of Living Labs here in Budapest during the Hungarian EU Presidency. Besides, I am also involved in imlementation of the Research and Innovation goals of the Danube Strategy, and I think Living labs can be a useful way for the countries of the Danube Region to strengthen their competitiveness.
Now, let me give you a snapshot of the govermental system of the Hungarian research, development and innovation system that was restructured in 2011 to create a unified development and funding system in the R&D and Innovation sector. One of the most important change was that the management of the Research and Technological Innovation Fund was transfered to the National Development Agency, while the National Innovation Office is responsible mainly for the strategic affairs of the National Innovation Syystem.
I work for the National Innovation Office, which – as I mentioned – has mainly strategic role in the innovation system and controlled by the Ministry of National Economy. Besides to the strategic tasks the Office operates a Science and Technology Observatory that analysis the data concerning research, development and innovation to underpin the innovation policy and the decesion on the system. Furthermore, NIH provides innovation management services for the actors of the national innovation landscape, and the Office manages the bilateral and multilateral scientific and technologoical cooperations of the country, including the EU cooperations as well.
In accoradance of the 2020 Strategy of the EU, Hungary prepared its National Reform Programme. The R&D&I objectives of the Reform Programme are the followings:
The new Government elaborated a new plan for the development of the economy in 2010. The New Széchenyi Plan marked 7 breakthrough points, one of them is the Knowledge economy, which aims at intensify the knowledge and innovation based industry by focusing the priority areas of research and innovation, like ICT, health industry, creative industries etc.
The picture of the Hungarian R&D and Innovation system is a little bit contradictory. We have world level scientific research in some areas, but ….
This slide shows the innovation indecies of the EU members, As you can see in this slide Hungary belongs to the catching-up countries in the EU, so we have opportunity to go higher up
This spider-net chart reflects the double face of our innovation. There are some innovation indicators that are around the EU avarage but other indicators fall well below the avarage values.
This picture is also mirrors the contradiction of the Hungarian innovation system. In Hungary – due to the lot of foreign investments – there are a number of multinational companies in the high-tech industries like electronics, ICT, car manufacturing.
So the big question for Hungary is:
To tackle the difficulties of the innovation in Hungary and to rach faster innovation ….
