Distributed Leadership Collaboration Factors to Support Idea Generation In Computer-Supported Collaborative e-Learning
2011
This paper aims to identify, discuss and analyze students’ collaboration factors related to distributed leadership (DL), which correlates with interaction quality evident in idea generation. Scripting computer-supported collaborative e-learning (CSCeL) activities based on DL can scaffold students’ interactions that support collaboration and promote idea generation. Furthermore, the associated tools can facilitate collaboration via scripting and shed light on students’ interactions and dialogical sequences. Such detailed planning can result in effective short e-courses. In this case study, 21 MSc students’ teams worked on a DL project within a 2-day e-course at the IT Institute (ITIN), Franc…
Crisi di impresa e allerta: indici, strumenti e procedure
2019
La nuova disciplina delle procedure di allerta e di composizione assistita della crisi, introdotta dal “Codice della crisi d’impresa e dell’insolvenza in attuazione della L. 19 ottobre 2017, n. 155”, con il D.Lgs. 12 gennaio 2019, n. 14, rappresenta uno dei temi più qualificanti e insieme controversi dell’attuale processo di riforma italiano delle discipline della crisi di impresa e dell’insolvenza, evidenziandone le istanze profonde, le novità regolamentari, insieme alle perduranti incertezze e contraddizioni. The Essay consist in an extensive Analysis of the new Rules about Early Warning Tools and Procedures, introduced by the recently approved d.lgs. 12 gennaio 2019, n. 14, laying down t…
Efectividad del uso de las tic en la intervención educativa con estudiantes con TEA
2019
The use of ICT has supposed a great advance in the field of educational intervention with students with ASD. The reviews carried out so far have included an analysis from a theoretical point of view, but have not provided evidence of the interventions effectiveness. Therefore, the aim of this work is to review some of the studies that have provided scientific evidence about the effectiveness of the use of ICT in educational intervention with children diagnosed with ASD. To this end, the results obtained are divided into four sections, which include: 1) the main reasons why some ICT tools can be considered good candidates to improve the education of these children; 2) what kind of ICTs have …
Standardization of a bioassay for thyrotropin receptor stimulating autoantibodies.
2015
Cell-based bioassays for functional thyroid stimulating autoantibodies (TSAb) are sensitive diagnostic tools. However, there is no bioassay available that is standardized with international reference material. We aimed to promote the standardization of the test results among laboratories that perform TSAb bioassays and calibrate TSAb levels against the second international standard (IS) 08/204 from the National Institute for Biological Standards and Control (NIBSC).Serum TSAb activity was measured with a FDA-cleared bioassay that utilizes CHO cells expressing a chimeric thyrotropin receptor (TSHR) and a c-AMP response-element-dependent luciferase. The IS was applied for calibration. TSAb re…
Educational or emotional languages? An interactive experiment with the Lucanian flora (S-Italy)
2010
In the frame of dissemination activities for a still-in-progress work on the Sites of Community Importance (see EU Directive 92/43) of Basilicata (a region of Southern Italy), an interactive tool (IIT) for the identification of vascular plants growing there has been illustrated to two groups of people, following two different approaches: one focused on textual parts and on scientific accuracy, the other on images and on the visual comparison of different objects. The reactions were measured in terms of number of accesses to the IIT, elapsed time from the demonstration to the first individual access, and number of queries in the first week after the IIT was distributed. The most clicked opti…
Digital and Interactive Learning and Teaching Methods in Descriptive Geometry
2013
Abstract During the course of “Fundamentals and applications of Science of Representation - Geometric drawing” (held at the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Palermo) we successfully tested the adoption of informatics tools to enhance the comprehension and the critical analysis of complex figures in the geometrical space. The peculiarity in the teaching methodology was the adoption of interactive software products (Cabri Geometre and GeoGebra concerning dynamic and geometrical constructions; the well-known Rhinoceros plug-in, Grasshopper, about generating algorithms; Linceo regarding implementing the graphic display of complex solids in augmented reality). According to our experie…
Tools to monitor and to evaluate inclusion: an historical review
2021
The management of complexity in the social and educational field recalls the need for the entire teaching staff to make a constant critical reflection to interpret the changing changes that exist within micro and macro socio-cultural contexts, in order to grasp the positivity of creative and innovative stresses, but also the dangerous phenomenon of the expansion of new forms of discomfort and social disintegration, cultural and relational. Inclusive education is a complex activity to be carried out, monitored and promoted because it is characterized by exegetical multidimensionality, plurality of interpretation and difficulties of evaluation. At national and international level, various exp…

L'Informatica Umanistica tra istituzionalizzazione e strumentalismo
2015
Tre caratteri salienti dello sviluppo attuale dell’Informatica umanistica sono la sua crescita quantitativa, la sua istituzionalizzazione e la sua definizione disciplinare. Nella prima parte di questo articolo (2. Institutional models) vengono passati in rassegna alcuni modelli istituzionali emergenti nel quadro internazionale. In questo quadro vengono dunque discussi (3. Tools) alcuni concetti chiave nella riflessione sulla disciplina, come quelli di pratica, ‘building’, centro, progetto, prodotto e strumento. In particolare, si contesta che la creazione di strumenti digitali ‘user-friendly’ costituisca il nodo fondamentale per lo sviluppo della disciplina. Bisogna infatti evitare che da u…
La Dirección Estratégica en la Economía Social: utilización de herramientas de análisis estratégico en las Cooperativas
2007
Social Economy companies and Cooperatives need to improve their management capacity using strategic tools to increase their efficiency whilst at the same time maintaining their effectiveness. In increasingly competitive markets, these organizations must bring their social objectives into line with their business objectives. The social dimension, which is based on Cooperative Principles and takes the form of employee integration and corporate social responsibility, represents the goal to achieve through the development of their business dimension. This article proposes the need to adopt a strategic model based on the process of Strategic Management that is specifically designed for such comp…
