Vertical Software Industry Evolution: The Impact of Software Costs and Limited Customer Base

2013

ContextSoftware systems are commonly used in a variety of industries as a means of automating organizational business processes. Initially, such software is often developed in-house by the vertical organizations possibly with the support of professional IT service providers; however, in many cases, internally developed software is eventually replaced with the software products provided by independent software vendors. These vendors often use license fees to recover their software development investments, as well as to gain some margin. However, if the vendor's customer base for a specific type of software is limited, then either the license fees are too high and hence the customers may pref…

Customer Perception Driven Product Evolution - Facilitation of Structured Feedback Collection

2016

Competitive environment not only requires effective advertising strategies from the product producers and service providers, but also to do comprehensive and sufficient analysis of their customers to understand their needs and expectations.

The interplay between the guidance from the digital learning environment and the teacher in supporting folding back

2022

AbstractPrevious studies have proposed that students’ mathematical understanding develops dynamically through the process known as folding back, in which learners revisit earlier forms of understanding and use them to build even deeper levels of mathematical understanding. Digital learning environments, where students can manipulate representations, are often used to enable students to notice properties, patterns, or rules. When working in such an environment, students usually receive support from the environment and the teacher. The interplay between these different sources of support is important according to previous studies. In this study, we examine this interplay in the case of foldin…

2015

Arviointi ja palautteenanto ovat oleellisia asioita opettajan jokapäiväisessä työssä. Lisäksi asenteiden tutkiminen on tällä hetkellä suosittu tutkimusala. Tässä tapaustutkimuksessa tutkittiin, millaista vuorovaikutuksellista palautetta opettaja antaa oppilailleen alakoulun englannin kielen tunneilla, ja millainen yhteys sillä on oppilaiden asenteisiin englannin kieltä kohtaan. Tutkimusaineisto koostui kolmesta opettajasta ja heidän oppilaistaan; yksi englannin kielen aineenopettaja ja hänen viidesluokkalainen ryhmänsä sekä kaksi luokanopettajaa ja heidän neljäs- ja viidesluokkalaisensa. Tutkimusaineisto koottiin metodisella triangulaatiolla. Aluksi oppilaille teetettiin kartoittava kysely …

Valutazione tra pari all’università: due approcci didattici a confronto

2020

Nell’ambito della didattica universitaria occorre rinnovare e diversificare gli strumenti di valutazione includendo sempre più anche tecnologie progettate per la valutazione. Il presente contributo mira a contribuire alla riflessione sulle pratiche didattiche che risultano più efficaci per l’integrazione delle nuove tecnologie per la valutazione formativa e la valutazione tra pari in università. In particolare si vuole verificare se l’utilizzo di tali forme valutative tramite la piattaforma Peergrade sia più efficace in un approccio didattico basato sull’interazione face-to-face o su interazioni a distanza tra una lezione e la successiva. La ricerca, condotta su un campione di 203 studenti …

The research on the amount and the types of corrective feedback beneficial for learning a second or foreign language has produced inconsistent results. Interestingly, studying corrective feedback from the perspective of a sociocultural theory of learning has the potential to resolve these differences although so far, these studies have been largely qualitative. The present study attempts to contribute to the existing research on corrective feedback from this perspective by comparing the effects of two types of automated corrective feedback on learning: adaptive feedback (i.e., feedback incrementally adapting to learners’ abilities by becoming more explicit and detailed) and knowledge of res…

The (im)possible success of disadvantaged students. Reflections on education, migration and social change

2019

The paper focuses on the ?unexpected pathways? of successful students with an immigrant background: these biographical routes, that seems socially impossible, raise theoretical issues around the individual-society, actor-structure relationship. Disadvantaged students who succeed represent a sociological challenge in the attempt to understand atypical situations and to identify the institutional processes and the structural opportunities that facilitate them, reducing ethnic inequalities in education. This framework is the starting point of the Su.Per. project (Success in educational pathways of students with immigrant background), based on the collection of written autobiographies of 65 imm…
