Panel Review

The purpose of this article is to describe the adaptation process of an evidence-based early childhood Tier-2 intervention program, BEST in CLASS-Prekindergarten, from a face-to-face format to a web-based delivery format called BEST in CLASS-Web. We describe the three-phase iterative development process used to adapt the parent program for delivery via the web. Activities in these phases included focus groups, interviews, an expert panel review, alpha and beta testing (Phase 1), feasibility testing (Phase 2), and a pilot promise study (Phase 3). Each phase included a series of refinements and improvements to materials based on data and stakeholder feedback. Lessons learned and implications for developing and implementing professional development services via online platforms are discussed.

Web Based Education

This article reviews the development of three Web-based education resources and the potential for each of these resources to meet the needs of users for a 'killer app'. Three case studies (the Annotated List of Education Journals, the IDEAS Portal Web Site and the Eisenhower National Clearinghouse Web Site)review the purpose, audience, content, funding, publicity and structure of the sites. Differences in staffing, funding and the centrality of these sites to the mission of their sponsoring institutions impacted the growth of these sites. Technological changes and the diffuse nature of the Internet also impacted the development of these resources.

Online Mode

Web-based questionnaires may offer advantages over traditional methods of data collection, including a less administrative workload and reduced respondent burden. However, the implementation of this mode of data collection carries other challenges and may demand more technical expertise to be designed and delivered. Here, we use the preliminary data from a survey developed to estimate the prevalence of methylphenidate use for cognitive enhancement among undergraduate and graduate students, to share the lessons we learned while implementing this online mode of data collection. We show that surveys using a web-based questionnaire should be carried out by a multidisciplinary team with support from Information Science specialists. Limitations to access these resources or budget constraints may demand a considerable effort to assure the success of the survey. Web-questionnaires are usually described as easy to use and economically encouraging. Therefore, we believe our experience, and the lessons we learned, may be a relevant resource for researchers from general backgrounds intending to undertake their first web-questionnaire.

Abstract Capitalization of lessons learned on Asset Integrity Management during Front End Loading phases of a green field Project Development, by defining plan for implementation of a diagnostic digital tool for reducing downtime and introduce predictive maintenance during Operation. Eni developed a platform of Digital applications for enhanced Operations management by implementing an Integrated Asset Management (IAM) system. Advanced Analytics tool is part of it and is designed for monitoring, foreseeing and preventing production upsets and anomalies; the tool is set up by verification of areas of interest and criticalities, with identification of main equipment data sets and by the implementation and validation of predictive models. Starting from historical data, data scientists supported by experts develop algorithms capable of finding interdependencies between a set of input variables and an output variable (phenomenon to be predicted/monitored), thus detecting anomalies and criticalities. Main areas of benefit are envisaged on Production continuity, capable of predicting problems on static and rotating equipment and giving information on the most impacting variables on the incipient problems. The tool will support technicians to help them preventing failures and out-of-specs events which may cause loss of production or asset integrity issues, with the activation of predictive maintenance and the aim to strive a continuous monitoring and improvement of plant operational performances. An Energy Efficiency predictive model will also be set up, capable of forecasting the future energy performances of the asset through the prediction of the Stationary Combustion of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emission index (t CO2/kbbl) and providing the list of the main influencing equipment and variables. The plan for implementation of the tool from the Early phases of development help the organization on prioritizing the implementation of Digital tools as part of the execution and realization of the Asset to be delivered to the Operational personnel, by easing the transition and avoiding subsequent retrofitting carrying brownfield works and additional costs. The implementation of Advanced Analytics tool has been embedded in a new green field initiative of a Development Project since Front End Loading phases, thus fostering digital implementation and minimizing deployment costs by including those as part of the Investment Proposal presented to Joint Venture Partners and Authorities.

Theoretical Foundations

This chapter describes the conceptualization and implementation of a cyberlearning environment as a community of inquiry (CoI). This environment includes 13 medical schools from Sub-Saharan Africa and their 50-plus partners from around the world. The theoretical foundations of Communities of Inquiry provided the framework that drove the design of the web-based platform used in this project. Through an emphasis on learning from conversations, the resulting cyberlearning environment was designed to foster engagement among faculty, staff, and students of the 13 medical schools and their partners. Recognizing that generating a virtual community of inquiry framed around the cognitive, social, and teaching presence is no easy task, the approach taken for the design was based on conceptualizing the development of such a community along a continuum that addressed the depth of interaction for each presence. This type of design assumes a phased-in implementation. The chapter describes this conceptualization by addressing the core communication strategy used, which underlies the interactions to support learning from conversations. In addition, the chapter addresses key environmental constraints and how these constraints guided operational decisions during implementation. In addition, the chapter discusses challenges and solutions, as well as lessons learned.

The University of Massachusetts Lowell and a non-profit partner, Machine Science Inc. of Cambridge, Massachusetts have developed a Web-based curriculum for after-school robotics, based on two microcontroller platforms: one for middle school students and the other for high school students. The curriculum, which teaches computer programming and design skills in the context of hands-on electronics and robotics activities, was developed and evaluated as part of a four-year National Science Foundation-funded research project called Building an Internet Community of Design Engineers (iCODE). From 2006 to 2010, the project partners used the curriculum to support year-long academic enrichment programs at middle schools, high schools, and community centers in underserved communities within Boston, Lowell, and Lawrence, Massachusetts. This chapter describes the design and development of the iCODE curriculum, explores the project’s assessment strategies, and reflects on lessons learned from four years of offering after-school robotics for an inner-city youth population.

This chapter introduces a framework intended for facilitating the implementation of Web-based adaptive hypermedia systems. The framework is orthogonal to Web “serving” approaches, and poses only minimal requirements in that direction. As such, it can be easily integrated into existing, non-adaptive Web-publishing solutions. This chapter presents in detail several aspects of the framework, and provides an overview of its application in the European Commission-funded IST-1999-20656 PALIO project (“Personalised Access to Local Information and Services for Tourists”). Furthermore, it discusses some of the lessons learned from our work on the framework thus far, as well as what we consider the most likely directions of future work in the area.
