Organizations need effective and affordable software training. In face-to-face settings, behavior modeling is an effective, but expensive, training method. Can behavior modeling be employed effectively, and more affordably, for software training in the online environment? An experiment was conducted to compare the effectiveness of online behavior modeling with that of face-to-face behavior modeling for software training. Results indicate that online behavior modeling and face-to-face behavior modeling provide essentially the same outcomes in terms of knowledge near transfer, immediate knowledge for transfer, delayed knowledge for transfer, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and satisfaction. Observed differences were not significant, nor were their patterns consistent, despite sufficient power in the experimental design to detect meaningful differences, if any were present. These results suggest that organizations should consider online behavior modeling as a primary method of software training.

Organizations need effective and affordable software training. In face-to-face settings, behavior modeling (BM) is an effective, but expensive, training method. Can BM be employed effectively, and more affordably, for software training in the online environment? An experiment was conducted to compare the effectiveness of online BM with that of face-to-face (F2F) BM for software training. Results indicate that online BM and F2F BM provide essentially the same outcomes in terms of knowledge near transfer, immediate knowledge far transfer, delayed knowledge far transfer, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness and satisfaction. Observed differences were not significant, nor were their patterns consistent, despite sufficient power in the experimental design to detect meaningful differences. These results suggest that organizations should consider online BM as a primary method of software training.

To be able to model industrial products in conceptual design, aspects such as function, structure, shape, behavior, sustainability and service are typically considered. Tools developed until now usually focus on individual aspects. The author proposes a new modeling approach called vague discrete interval modeling (VDIM) that integrates shape, structure and behavior modeling. The integration is achieved by the introduction of a multipurpose modeling entity called particle. VDIM offers three means for the representation of a cluster of shapes, for instances of shapes and for physically-based manipulation of shapes. Interval modeling allows representing uncertainty of shapes, which is a characteristic property in shape conceptualization. In addition, particle systems can be applied to model the mechanical behavior of the product. This constructive modeling approach makes it possible to describe the procedural model of incomplete geometries and to capture the structural relations between components. The paper reports on the computational issues related to VDIM.
