Facilitating age diversity in organizations ‐ part I: challenging popular misbeliefs
Heijden, Beatrice van der ; Hertel, Guido ; Lange, A.H. de ; Deller, Jürgen
2013, Article / Letter to editor (Journal of Managerial Psychology, vol. 28, (2013))Purpose - In recent years, significant demographic changes in most industrial countries have tremendously affected the age distribution of workers in organizations. In general, the workforce has become more age-diverse, providing significant and new challenges for human resource management and leadership processes. The current paper aims to address age-related stereotypes as a major factor that might impede potential benefits of age diversity in organizations. Design/methodology/approach - After a brief review of potential detrimental effects of age-related stereotyping at work, the authors discuss the validity of typical age stereotypes based on new findings from large-scale empirical research with more than 160,000 workers overall. Findings - Although the research summarized in this review is based on large samples including several thousand workers, the cross-sectional nature of the studies does not control for cohort or generational effects, nor for (self-)selection biases. However, the summarized results still provide important guidelines given that challenges due to age diversity in modern organizations today have to be dealt with regardless of the concrete origins of the age-related differences. Originality/value - This is one of the first reviews challenging popular misbeliefs about older workers based on large-scale empirical research.
Facilitating age diversity in organizations ‐ part II: managing perceptions and interactions
Lange, A.H. de ; Deller, Jürgen ; Heijden, Beatrice van der ; Hertel, Guido
2013, Article / Letter to editor (Journal of Managerial Psychology, vol. 28, (2013))Purpose - Due to demographic changes in most industrialized countries, the average age of working people is continuously increasing, and the workforce is becoming more age-diverse. This review, together with the earlier JMP Special Issue "Facilitating age diversity in organizations - part I: challenging popular misbeliefs", aims to summarize new empirical research on age diversity in organizations, and on potential ways to support beneficial effects of age diversity in teams and organizations. The second part of the Special Issue focusses on managing mutual perceptions and interactions between different age groups. Design/methodology/approach - A literature review is provided summarizing and discussing relevant empirical research on managing mutual perceptions and interactions between different age groups at work. Findings - The summarized research revealed a number of challenges to benefit from age diversity in organizations, such as in-group favoritism, age norms about appropriate behavior of older workers, intentional and unintentional age discrimination, differences in communication styles, and difference in attitudes towards age diversity. At the same time, managerial strategies to address these challenges are developed. Originality/value - Together with the first part of this Special Issue, this is one of the first reviews on ways to address the increasing age diversity in work organizations based on sound empirical research.

Facilitating new ways of learning in dutch higher education
Beckers, R. ; Voordt, Theo van der
2013, Article in monograph or in proceedings (Proceedings 12th EuroFM Research Symposium "FM for a Sustainable Future")Literature shows that ‘new ways of learning’ cause a shift in learning settings with a growing attention to facilitating autonomy, interaction and knowledge exploration anytime, anywhere. These trends show evident similarities with developments in office environments known for as ‘new ways of working’. The purpose of this paper is to explore how facility managers in Dutch higher education perceive developments in learning and teaching in order to keep the learning facilities aligned to the changing demands of modern education. The study first describes the similarities between existing theory of new ways of working in offices and new ways of learning in educational environments, resulting in a conceptual framework that links learning space to new ways of learning. The framework is empirically explored based on interviews with facility managers in 14 Dutch Institutes for Higher Education. The findings show that new ways of learning requires an integral approach that considers new ways of education, the new student, digitisation of learning and teaching and new learning space. The study presents ten points of attention to pro-actively cope with new ways of learning in higher education institutes. The results of the research contribute to a better understanding of the alignment of learning space to the evolving needs that come from new ways of learning supported by advanced information and communication technology (ICT) and can be used by facility managers and corporate real estate managers to support strategic decision-making.

Berben, S.A.A. ; Meijs, T. ; Schoonhoven, Lisette ; Achterberg, Theo van ; Grunsven, P.M. van
2011, Article / Letter to editor (Injury : International Journal of the Care of the Injured, vol. 43, iss. 9, (2011), pp. 1397-1402)The aim of the study is to give insight into facilitators and barriers in pain management in trauma patients in the chain of emergency care in the Netherlands. A qualitative approach was adopted with the use of the implementation Model of Change of Clinical Practice. The chain of emergency care concerned prehospital Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and Emergency Departments (EDs). We included two EMS ambulance services and three EDs and conducted five focus groups and 10 individual interviews. Stakeholders and managers of organisations were interviewed individually. Focus group participants were selected based on availability and general characteristics. Transcripts of the audio recordings and field notes were analysed in consecutive steps, based on thematic content analysis. Each step was independently performed by the researchers, and was discussed afterwards. We analysed differences and similarities supported by software for qualitative analysis MaxQDA.

Facility management in kinderschoenen : Facility management in de kinderopvang
Beckers, R.
2008, Article / Letter to editor (FMI: facility management informatie, vol. 2008, iss. mei, (2008), pp. 50-51)Begin dit jaar heft Academie Diedenoort FM aan de Hogeschool van Arnhem en Nijmegen, tijdens een studiemiddag een toelichting gegeven op het vakgebied facility management aan een aantal financiële managers van organisaties die zich bezighouden met kinderopvang. In die branche staat het fm-vakgebid nog in de kinderschoenen en liggen er kansen voor facilitaire professionals.
Facility management ontzorgt
Roelofs, Vera ; Beckers, R.
2010, Part of book or chapter of book (Facility management ontzorgt, pp. 59-76)In veel organisaties merkt u nauwelijks iets van facilitaire services. Het is bijvoorbeeld normaal dat het licht brandt, uw telefoon werkt, de ruimte waar u werkt voorzien is van de juiste inrichting, dat deze schoon en veilig is en dat u er koffie, thee of etenswaren kunt krijgen. U merkt vaak pas iets van de facilitaire services als het ergens fout gaat. De toegevoegde waarde van facilitair management wordt ervaren als dit goed georganiseerd is. Om alle facilitaire services in een organisatie vlekkeloos te laten verlopen is er dus een degelijk facilitair plan nodig. Dit artikel geeft een inleiding in facility management en beschrijft een 8-stappenplan om een facilitair plan op te stellen. Het ‘experience based’ plan is ontwikkeld om facilitaire studenten en professionals een structuur te bieden voor het in kaart brengen van (on)mogelijkheden en het maken van keuzes bij het opzetten of verbeteren van een facilitaire organisatie.
Factors explaining adoption and implementation processes for web accessibility standards within eGovernment systems and organizations
Geest, Th.M. van der ; Velleman, E.M. ; Nahuis, I.
2017, Article / Letter to editor (Universal Access in the Information Society, vol. 16, (2017), pp. 173-190)Local government organizations such as municipalities often seem unable to fully adopt or implement web accessibility standards even if they are actively pursuing it. Based on existing adoption models, this study identifies factors in five categories that influence the adoption and implementation of accessibility standards for local government websites. Awareness of these factors is importap and understand these factors, this study has identified and interviewed experts in the field of (organizational) accessibility. This has led to an extension of the existing models. The extended model was then validated by interviews with key stakeholders. The outcome of this study places existing adoption models in a new context. The result is an adoption model that contributes better to explaining adoption and implementation processes within eGovernment systems and organizations. This adoption model aims to better help local governments in the identification of factors influencing the actual adoption and implementation of web accessibility standards in their situation. The model explains how factors in the different categories contribute to the adoption and implementation of web accessibility standards. The model may also be applicable to the adoption and implementation of other guidelines and (open) standards within local government.

Factors influencing a herence to an Emergency Department National Protocol
Ebben, R.H.A. ; Achterberg, Theo van ; Vloet, L.C.M. ; Mintjes, Joke
2012, Article / Letter to editor (European Journal of Emergency Medicine, vol. 19, iss. 1, (2012), pp. 53-56)The objective of this study was to identify factors that influence emergency nurses adherence to an emergency department national protocol (EDNP). A survey of emergency nurses (n=200) and physicians with medical end responsibility on an emergency department (n=103) was carried out. Emergency nurses self-reported adherence to the EDNP was 38%, 55% of the nurses and 44% of the physicians were aware of the protocol. Interference with professional autonomy, insufficient organizational support and the EDNPs applicability were indicated as barriers for adherence. The main influencing factor seems awareness. Other factors related to the individual, the organization and to protocol characteristics. Solely disseminating the EDNP is not enough to get the protocol used in clinical practice.

Factors influencing work participation of adults with developmental dyslexia: a systematic review.
Beer, J.P.M. de ; Engels, J.A. ; Heerkens, Y.F. ; Klink, J. van der
2014, Article / Letter to editor (BMC Public Health, vol. 14, (2014), pp. 77)BACKGROUND: Evidence has been synthesized to determine hindering and facilitating factors associated with the work participation of adults with developmental dyslexia (DD), classified according to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). METHODS: A systematic literature review has been performed. Two search strings were used to determine the population and the context of work. The ICF was expanded with two subdivisions: one that made the environmental factors more work-related and a subdivision of personal factors. For data extraction the method known as qualitative metasummary was used and the manifest frequency effect size (MFES) for each category in the ICF was calculated. RESULTS: From 33 included studies 318 factors have been extracted and classified in the ICF. In the classification the frequency of occurrences and the consistency in direction (i.e., hindering or facilitating) have been made visible. The ICF categories with the highest MFES were mental functions with factors like feelings and emotions about dyslexia; activities like reading or writing/spelling; participation with factors like acquiring and keeping a job; social relationships at work where the attitudes and support of the employer and co-workers are important; working conditions with factors like the availability of assistive technology and accommodations on the job; and personal factors like self-disclosure and coping strategies. CONCLUSIONS: In the context of work DD affects nearly all domains of functioning, mostly in a negative way. Within each domain the impact of DD increases over the course of life. To overcome that negative influence, many forms of adaptation, compensation, or coping are mentioned. Also notable is the lack of positive attitudes toward DD of the participants with DD-with the exception of the attitudes of teachers with DD-as well as on the part of colleagues, supervisors, and employers.

Family Home-treatment Autism (FHA) in the Netherlands : An explorative study about the “true colours” of families with ASD
Aerts, F.H. ; Meyer, Ronald de ; Jong, K. de ; Veerman, J.W. ; Teunisse, J.P.W.M.
2013, Article in monograph or in proceedings ()The upbringing of children with ASD is a difficult task for their parents. Because of their constraints in contact and communication it is hard to understand their needs and therefore the parents and their brothers and sisters need specific skills. In the Netherlands there is no home treatment specifically for families with ASD. We developed a competence directed home treatment program: the Family Home treatment for Autism (FHA). The aims are: to restore the balance of family life by improving the competence in dealing with ASD of all family members.
Family in Focus: On Design and Field Trial of the Dynamic Collage [DC]
Bakker, R.R. ; Turnhout, K.G. van ; Jeurens, J.
2014, Article in monograph or in proceedings (Chi Sparks 2014)In this paper we present the design and field trial of the Dynamic Collage. The Dynamic Collage was designed to facilitate and to stimulate participation of family members in the informal care of an elderly person. The Dynamic Collage enabled relatives to update their current activity by sending a photo to a digital collage at the elderly person's living space. The service is triggered when a family member visits the elderly person. The field trial revealed that all family members valued this type of communication and that they became more aware of informal care. This shows there are opportunities to support informal care in a broader circle than current practices allow. Apart from informal care, our design case contributes to the field of social awareness systems, which we will discuss in the paper.

Marshall, S. ; Meij, B.S. van der ; Milte, R. ; Collins, C.E. ; Schueren, M.A.E. de van der ; Banbury, M. ; Warner, M.M. ; Isenring, E.
2019, Article / Letter to editor (JMIR Research Protocols, vol. 8, iss. 4, (2019))Background: Interventions to improve the nutritional status of older adults and the integration of formal and family care systems are critical research areas to improve the independence and health of aging communities and are particularly relevant in the rehabilitation setting. Objective: The primary outcome aimed to determine if the FREER (Family in Rehabilitation: EmpowERing Carers for improved malnutrition outcomes) intervention in malnourished older adults during and postrehabilitation improve nutritional status, physical function, quality of life, service satisfaction, and hospital and aged care admission rates up to 3 months postdischarge, compared with usual care. Secondary outcomes evaluated include family carer burden, carer services satisfaction, and patient and carer experiences. This pilot study will also assess feasibility and intervention fidelity to inform a larger randomized controlled trial. Methods: This protocol is for a mixed-methods two-arm historically-controlled prospective pilot study intervention. The historical control group has 30 participants, and the pilot intervention group aims to recruit 30 patient-carer pairs. The FREER intervention delivers nutrition counseling during rehabilitation, 3 months of postdischarge telehealth follow-up, and provides supportive resources using a novel model of patient-centered and carer-centered nutrition care. The primary outcome is nutritional status measured by the Scored Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment Score. Qualitative outcomes such as experiences and perceptions of value will be measured using semistructured interviews followed by thematic analysis. The process evaluation addresses intervention fidelity and feasibility. Results: Recruitment commenced on July 4, 2018, and is ongoing with eight patient-carer pairs recruited at the time of manuscript submission. Conclusions: This research will inform a larger randomized controlled trial, with potential for translation to health service policies and new models of dietetic care to support the optimization of nutritional status across a continuum of nutrition care from rehabilitation to home.

Feasibility of a stratified blended physiotherapy intervention for patients with non-specific low back pain: a mixed methods study.
TIlburg, M.L. van ; Kloek, C.J.J. ; Staal, J.B. ; Bossen, D. ; Veenhof, C.
2020, Article / Letter to editor (Physiotherapy Theory and Practice, (2020), pp. 1-13)INTRODUCTION: Integrating web-based or mobile components and face-to-face components within a treatment process is called blended care. As part of the participatory development of a blended physiotherapeutic intervention for patients with low back pain (e-Exercise LBP), a proof of concept study was carried out and showed promising results. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility of the e-Exercise LBP prototype for patients and physiotherapists to improve the intervention. METHODS: A mixed methods study was executed, embedded in the development phase of e-Exercise LBP. 21 physiotherapists treated 41 patients with e-Exercise LBP. Quantitative data consisted of: patients' satisfaction on a five-point Likert Scale; patients' and physiotherapists' experienced usability of the web-based application (System Usability Scale) and; patients' experiences with e-Exercise LBP (closed-ended questions and statements related to the elements and goals of e-Exercise LBP). Semi-structured interviews about experiences with e-Exercise LBP were conducted with seven patients and seven physiotherapists. Qualitative data were analyzed by a phenomenological approach. Quantitative data were analyzed with descriptive statistics. RESULTS: Patients were satisfied with e-Exercise LBP (mean: 4.0; SD:0.8; range: extreme dissatisfaction (1)-extreme satisfaction (5)). Usability of the web-based application was acceptable (patients: mean: 73.2 (SD:16.3); physiotherapists: mean: 63.3 (SD:12.0); range: 0-100). Interviews revealed that physiotherapists' training is essential to successfully integrate the web-based application and face-to-face sessions within physiotherapy treatment. Also, patients addressed the need of reminder messages to support long-term (exercise) adherence. CONCLUSION: e-Exercise LBP appeared to be feasible. However, various prerequisites and points of improvement were mentioned to improve physiotherapists' training and the prototype.

Feasibility study for combining cooling and high grade energy production in a solar greenhouse
Flamand, G. ; Bot, G. ; Swinkels, Gert-Jan ; Sonneveld, P.J.
2010, Article / Letter to editor (Biosystems Engineering, iss. 105, (2010), pp. 51-58)Throughout the world greenhouse horticulture is expanding and intensifying. The expansion is driven by the much higher production levels that are achieved in greenhouses compared to open fields. This provides increased income for farmers and a positive effect on rural development. Intensification is driven by the demand for better control of the production process resulting in higher yield but, more importantly, higher product quality. As a result products can meet the standards of the fast expanding consumer market for high quality fresh products, driven by the booming new economies. However greenhouse horticulture also faces major problems. In northern countries, with cold winter climates, greenhouses have to be heated for optimal growing conditions so energy supply is an important issue. In the southern countries with the combination of high global radiation and high outdoor temperatures during summer, cooling of greenhouses is needed during this period. Solutions for energy supply in winter and cooling in summer can be combined applying seasonal storage of excess solar energy and exploiting this for heating in winter. The advantage of this system is cheaper cooling, and energy savings of about 35% compared to heating by furnace. The disadvantage is that the excess solar energy is converted to low grade thermal energy which is stored at a temperature level of about 18 °C. This can only be exploited for heating in winter by a heat pump, driven by high grade energy such as electricity. Here, the feasibility of a novel approach is investigated of a greenhouse design combining cooling with energy supply in such a way that excess solar energy is directly converted to high grade electric energy. A prototype greenhouse according to this design is under construction. In a following paper the experimental results of this prototype greenhouse will be presented.

Female entrepeneurship; a new perspective for entrepeneurship and the implications for entrepeneurship education
Hoof, Félice van ; Nandram, S.
2012, Part of book or chapter of book (, pp. 27-42)Entrepreneurship is the driving force for the growth of economies. Female entrepreneurship is, however, still lagging behind in development when compared to male entrepreneurship. This paper describes possible differences between male and female entrepreneurship and the reasons behind these differences, and more particular, why and how education can play a role in stimulating female students to become entrepreneurs. The most common research question is related to differences between male and female entrepreneurs in attitudes, characteristics and competences in respect to entrepreneurship. Few such differences were found. The educational setting is one of the core areas where students can devote their time in developing competences. Therefore, it might be of interest to study the educational context that contributes to female entrepreneurship. This paper presents an overview of the disincentives and incentives for female entrepreneurship. Furthermore it discusses the role of traits and competences in comparing male and female entrepreneurship. Concluded is with how education can contribute to fostering female entrepreneurship.
Feminisering van het basisonderwijs
Geerdink, G.
2009, Part of book or chapter of book (, pp. 35-47)In deze bijdrage ga ik in op wat feminisering van het onderwijs is en hoe we daar de afgelopen 25 jaar – zowel op de pabo als in het basisonderwijs – mee te maken hebben gekregen. De keerzijde is masculinisering en ik zal eveneens laten zien hoe zich dat in het onderwijs voordoet. Zowel feminisering als masculinisering hebben negatieve gevolgen. Ik wil duidelijk maken dat de gevolgen van de feminisering minder erg zijn dan we volgens de pers moeten geloven, maar dat het desondanks een ongewenste ontwikkeling is. Tot slot geef ik aan hoe we zowel in het basisonderwijs als op de pabo kunnen werken aan een ommekeer, dat wil zeggen: meer diversiteit in het onderwijs in alle functies.

2011, Article / Letter to editor (International Journal of Nursing Studies, vol. 48, iss. 9, (2011), pp. 1040-1048)Patient care guidelines are usually implemented one at a time, yet patients are at risk for multiple, often preventable, adverse events simultaneously. This study aimed to test the effect of the SAFE or SORRY? programme on the incidence of three adverse events (pressure ulcers, urinary tract infections and falls). This paper describes Part I of the study: the effect on the incidence of adverse events. A cluster randomised trial was conducted between September 2006 and November 2008. After a three-month baseline period the intervention was implemented followed by a nine-month follow-up period. Ten wards from four hospitals and ten wards from six nursing homes were stratified for institute and ward type and then randomised to intervention or usual care group.

Fish consumption and markers of colorectal cancer risk : A multicenter randomized controlled trial
Schaafsma, Gertjan ; Pot, G.
2009, Article / Letter to editor (The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, vol. 90, iss. 2, (2009), pp. 354-361)Diet is a major factor in the etiology of colorectal cancer, with high fish consumption possibly decreasing colorectal cancer risk, as was shown in several observational studies. To date, no intervention trials have examined the possible beneficial effects of fish intake on colorectal cancer risk. The objective was to investigate the effects of a 6-mo intervention with oil-rich or lean fish on apoptosis and mitosis within the colonic crypt. In a multicenter, randomized, controlled intervention trial, patients with colorectal polyps, inactive ulcerative colitis, or no macroscopic signs of disease were recruited (n = 242) and randomly allocated to receive dietary advice plus either 300 g oil-rich fish (salmon) per week (n = 82), 300 g lean fish (cod) per week (n = 78), or only dietary advice (DA) (n = 82). Apoptosis and mitosis were measured in colonic biopsy samples collected before and after intervention (n = 213). The total number of apoptotic cells per crypt did not increase in the salmon or cod group: -0.10 (95% CI: -0.36, 0.16) and -0.06 (95% CI: -0.32, 0.20), respectively, compared with the DA group. The total number of mitotic cells per crypt decreased nonsignificantly in the salmon group (-0.87; 95% CI: -2.41, 0.68) and in the cod group (-1.04; 95% CI: -2.62, 0.53) compared with the DA group. Furthermore, the distribution of mitosis within the crypt did not significantly change in either group. An increase in the consumption of either oil-rich or lean fish to 2 portions weekly over 6 mo does not markedly change apoptotic and mitotic rates in the colonic mucosa. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as NCT00145015.
Fish oil supplementation and maintaining muscle mass in chronic disease: state of the evidence
Meij, B.S. van der ; Mazurak, V.
2020, Article / Letter to editor (Current Opinion in Clinical Nutrition and Metabolic Care, vol. 23, iss. 3, (2020), pp. 164-173)Purpose of review Providing eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), in the form of fish oils, to benefit muscle is an emerging area of interest. The aim of this work was to evaluate the current literature that has assessed muscle mass as an outcome during a fish oil intervention in any chronic disease. Recent findings The vast majority of studies published in the last 3 years (12 of 15) have been conducted in the oncological setting, in patients undergoing treatment for cancers of the gastrointestinal tract, breast, head and neck, lung, cervix, and hematological cancers. Three studies were conducted in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Fish oil was provided as part of nutrient mixtures in 12 studies and as capsules in three studies. Overall, the evidence for an effect of fish oil supplementation on muscle mass in patients with cancer undergoing treatment and in COPD remains unequivocal and reveals limited new knowledge in the area of fish oil supplementation in the cancer setting. Recent literature continues to provide mixed evidence on the efficacy of fish oil on muscle mass and function. The present review highlights challenges in comparing and interpreting current studies aimed at testing fish oil supplementation for muscle health.

2013, Article / Letter to editor (PLoS One, vol. 8, iss. 2, (2013), pp. e57209)In contrast to western countries, foot complaints are rare in Africa. This is remarkable, as many African adults walk many hours each day, often barefoot or with worn-out shoes. The reason why Africans can withstand such loading without developing foot complaints might be related to the way the foot is loaded. Therefore, static foot geometry and dynamic plantar pressure distribution of 77 adults from Malawi were compared to 77 adults from the Netherlands. None of the subjects had a history of foot complaints. The plantar pressure pattern as well as the Arch Index (AI) and the trajectory of the center of pressure during the stance phase were calculated and compared between both groups. Standardized pictures were taken from the feet to assess the height of the Medial Longitudinal Arch (MLA). We found that Malawian adults: (1) loaded the midfoot for a longer and the forefoot for a shorter period during roll off, (2) had significantly lower plantar pressures under the heel and a part of the forefoot, and (3) had a larger AI and a lower MLA compared to the Dutch. These findings demonstrate that differences in static foot geometry, foot loading, and roll off technique exist between the two groups. The advantage of the foot loading pattern as shown by the Malawian group is that the plantar pressure is distributed more equally over the foot. This might prevent foot complaints.
Flexibele arbeid en zekerheid : op naar een betere balans
Lange, A.H. de ; Muffels, Ruud
2017, Article / Letter to editor (SBI formaat Stand MZ, vol. 2, iss. 2, (2017), pp. 16-17)Flexibele arbeid en zekerheid worden steeds meer tegenpolen, zo lijkt het. Een op de vier werkenden heeft een flexbaan of werkt als zzper. Vonden in de jaren negentig nog één op de twee flexwerkers binnen een jaar een vaste baan, nu is dat nog maar één op de vijf / zes. In flexwerkers wordt minder geïnvesteerd dan in vast personeel als het gaat om opleiding en training. Bovendien is het werk van lager niveau, heeft men minder inkomen en autonomie en is het minder uitdagend dan vast werk. Flex lijkt vooral een ‘lage lonen’-strategie om de loonkosten te drukken. Daarnaast speelt mee dat werkgevers huiverig zijn om ‘vast’ personeel aan te nemen vanwege de kosten en risico’s voor pensioen, de tweejarige loondoorbetaling en tienjarige re-integratieverplichtingen bij ziekte, en de kosten bij ontslag. Dat betekent dat werkzekerheid belangrijker is dan baanzekerheid. Daarvoor is sociale innovatie en herijking van onze instituties nodig.
Flexible use of peer-assessment formats in computer supported environments
Watering, G. van de ; Strijbos, J. W. ; Sluijsmans, Dominique
2010, Part of book or chapter of book (, pp. 139-160)In todays society, the quantity of information available to learners is so vast that new strategies of information processing and exchange must be continually developed and improved. E-Collaborative Knowledge Construction: Learning from Computer-Supported and Virtual Environments explores the construction of beneficial e-collaborative knowledge environments from four vital perspectives: educational, psychological, organizational, and technical. It offers several scenarios where the implementation of e-collaborative knowledge construction is necessary and then not only presents methods for facilitating e-collaborative knowledge construction, but also provides methods for assessing its results. This exciting new publication is a must-have for academics, researchers, and professionals who dare to discover new innovations!
Flexiblisering arbeid geen wondermiddel : Interview lector Robert Verburg
Verburg, Robert
2009, Article / Letter to editor (Hanblad, vol. 2009, iss. 13, (2009), pp. 10-11)Veel markten worden steeds volatieler. Door de globalisering beïnvloeden alle sectoren en markten elkaar. Gaan de financiële wereld en de automotive onderuit dan heeft dat ook z’n effect op de olie & gas, krijgen de semicon en de IT-sector tikken en worden ook de metaal- en de kunststofbranches meegesleept. In hoog tempo. En in tijden van upturn gaat dat precies zo, maar dan andersom.
