This document discusses introducing mobile learning (mLearning) at Corvinus University of Budapest. It provides an overview of mLearning activities supported, including adaptive self-assessment tools and accessing course contents and exam results on mobile devices. 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.

‘An interaction
between two
different
organisms living in
close physical
association to the
advantage of
both’
Concise Oxford
Dictionary, 8th
Edition
6. What is ‘Industrial Symbiosis’?
Modified from Chertow, Yale 2000
“Industrial symbiosis engages traditionally separate industries
and other organisations in a collective approach to competitive
advantage involving physical exchanges of materials, energy,
water and/or by products together with collaboration on the
shared use of assets, logistics, experts and knowledge
transfer.”

Editor's Notes
Not just material flows – also energy, water, logistics, assets, experts, knowledge transfer All about business opportunity
Sustainabilty requires evolving industrial systems from linear to circular for more efficient use of resources
The NISP Programme has been involved in hundreds of different projects delivering financial and environmental benefits. The first of these was actually identified at the NISP North East Launch Event in 2005. Delegates from Terra Nitrogen attended the Workshop looking for an outlet for their waste Steam, Carbon Dioxide and ammonia produced from their fertiliser plant. At the workshop they met John Baarda, a Tomato grower and began discussing the idea of using their waste steam and carbon dioxide in a purpose built greenhouse for growing tomatoes. Using the waste heat and CO2 would provide an improved growing environment. After lengthy discussions the greenhouse was built and has gone on to become the UK’s largest greenhouse delivering 12 ½ thousand tonnes of carbon savings per year and reduced the number of food miles from tomatoes no longer being supplied from Spain and Portugal.
