The document introduces the CLAS App, a mobile application designed to standardize and improve handover communication between hospitals and general practitioners. It was developed based on the Cork Letter-Writing Assessment Scale (CLAS), a 50-item rating scale for evaluating the quality of hospital discharge letters. The CLAS App implements the CLAS checklist digitally to provide doctors a reference for writing discharge letters and to support the handover process. It aims to improve information transfer during handovers by helping ensure discharge letters include all essential details.
Continuous deployments in Azure websites (by Anton Vidishchev)Alexandra Chudner
This document outlines the evolution of Microsoft's cloud computing platform Azure from 2007 to 2011. It started as an internal project called Red Dog in 2007 supporting PHP and Java. By 2009 it added full trust support for .NET and in 2010 became publicly available in preview and general availability forms, introducing web and worker roles running in partial trust as well as SQL Database. Over time it expanded to support more languages and development tools.
Communities of Learning in Organizational Training: The influence of particip...Martin Rehm
Driven by today’s knowledge economy, many organizations have started looking for innovative methods to train their staff (Yamnill & MacLean, 2001). In this context, online Communities of Learning (CoL) have received a growing amount of attention among practitioners and researchers alike (Rehm, 2009). Yet, despite positive business showcases, empirical research on collaborative (learning) activities has only yielded mixed results (e.g. Simons, Pelled, & Smith, 1999). Moreover, past research on collaborative online communities has either not considered data from real organizations (Edmondson, 2002), or neglected participants’ hierarchical position as a major obstacle to collaborative learning processes (Romme, 1996). The present study addresses these shortcomings by providing empirical evidence from 25 CoL of an online training program that was being implemented for 249 staff members of a global organization. Each CoL consisted of 7 – 13 participants, from different hierarchical positions, who collaboratively enhanced their knowledge via asynchronous discussion forums.
Using social network analysis (Strijbos, Martens, Prins, & Jochems, 2006), we computed participants’ in- and out-degree ties, as well as centrality scores to determine their communication behaviour within CoL. Additionally, based on the content analysis scheme developed by Veerman & Veldhuis-Diermanse (2001), we assessed the level of participants’ contributions.
Our empirical results clearly indicate that hierarchical positions are transferred into the virtual realm and that higher level management plays an important role in CoL. More specifically, participants from higher up the hierarchical ladder held more central positions and contributed a higher amount of task-related messages than their colleagues. Taken together, these insights provide valuable input for future CoL. Considering that hierarchical positions have a significant impact on CoL, HRD practitioners can design collaborative activities that foster the active exchange of information, and device facilitation strategies that encourage an active participation of all members of a CoL.

Data can come from various sources like sensors, surveys, or simulations. It can be raw or derived from raw data through processes like smoothing or scaling. Data models and management involve data objects, visualization objects, metadata, retrieval systems, and database management systems. Data comes in different dimensions and structures and is used for presentation, confirmation, exploration, querying, summarizing, and analyzing tasks through simple visualizations like points, lines, charts and graphs. Key data factors include large numbers of parameters and data sets, and multiple data types.
PBL provides opportunities for students to pursue their own interests and questions, make decisions about how to find answers and solve problems, in a way that can motivate students by engaging them in their own learning. PBL also allows for interdisciplinary learning. Using PBL in the classroom provides benefits over traditional lectures by engaging students in directing their own education.
