Betriebliche Weiterbildung soll lebenslanges Lernen im Arbeitskontext ermöglichen und befördern. Diese wird immer wichtiger, da sich das wirtschaftliche Umfeld immer dynamischer durch globalen Wettbewerb von Arbeit, Produktion und Dienstleistungen verändert. Dies bedingt auch veränderte Bedarfe an Fertigkeiten und Fähigkeiten sowie dem notwendigen Fachwissen. Es ist wettbewerbskritisch für Mitarbeiter und Unternehmen, kontinuierlich und immer besser lebenslang zu lernen. Daher gilt die betriebliche Weiterbildung als wichtige Voraussetzung, um volkswirtschaftliches Wachstum zu erreichen und zunehmend globalisiertem Wettbewerb begegnen zu können. In diesem Kontext widmet sich die vorliegende Arbeit der Erforschung von Messung und Beeinflussung der Produktivität von IT-gestützten Weiterbildungsformaten, konkret der Gestaltung von IT-gestützten Weiterbildungsformaten unter Berücksichtigung von Effizienz und Effektivitätsgesichtspunkten.

This groundbreaking book offers a down-to-earth resource for the practical application of blended learning in higher education as well as a comprehensive examination of the topic. Well-grounded in research, Blended Learning in Higher Education clearly demonstrates how the blended learning approach embraces the traditional values of face-to-face teaching and integrates the best practices of online learning. This approach has proven to both enhance and expand the effectiveness and efficiency of teaching and learning in higher education across disciplines. In this much-needed book, authors D. Randy Garrison and Norman D. Vaughan present the foundational research, theoretical framework, scenarios, principles, and practical guidelines for the redesign and transformation of the higher education curriculum. Blended Learning in Higher Education Outlines seven blended learning redesign principles Explains the professional development issues essential to the implementation of blended learning designs Presents six illustrative scenarios of blended learning design Contains practical guidelines to blended learning redesign Describes techniques and tools for engaging students

Blended synchronous learning - where remote students participate in face-to-face classes by means of rich-media synchronous technologies such as video conferencing, web conferencing and virtual worlds - is an emerging phenomenon in education. More and more teachers are attempting to teach in this challenging mode, but without any systematic research evidence to help guide their blended synchronous learning practices. The Blended Synchronous Learning Handbook is a definitive resource that addresses this issue. It includes a Blended Synchronous Learning Design Framework that offers pedagogical, technological and logistical recommendations for teachers attempting to design and implement blended synchronous learning lessons. It also includes a Rich-Media Synchronous Technology Capabilities Framework to support the selection of technologies for different types of learning activities, as well as a review of relevant literature, a summary of the Blended Synchronous Learning Scoping Study, detailed reports of seven blended synchronous learning case studies, and an in-depth cross case analysis to underpin the recommendations that are drawn.

Universities and their teachers are more than ever required to (re)design their courses considering online environments. Although face-to-face teaching remains fundamental, exploring online alternatives is becoming increasingly necessary. Still, how can university teacher designers proceed with such a change in their courses? What is the most effective way to design an online course? How can university teacher designers attract the attention of students and make teaching interesting and compelling? Evidence-Based Blended and Online Learning: Course Design for University Teachers answers these questions. It provides a thorough evidence-based overview of each step required to make an effective course redesign. The book is aimed at teachers and, more significantly, teacher designers committed to redesigning their courses based on solid principles. The book’s design approach makes it much easier to translate the results of educational research on applying blended learning in educational practice. Jan Nedermeijer has worked as an educational expert for several universities and as a senior expert for PUM Netherlands in several countries. The book synthesises the results of the numerous course- and curriculum-development projects he has conducted over many years. His approach can help university teachers implement IT in feasible, practical and interesting ways. Evidence-Based Blended and Online Learning gives lecturers tailor-made pedagogical suggestions for designing modern higher education. Course design tasks are re-described, using features from technical design, problem solving, and design thinking, where creative design has a unique and essential role.

Well-designed and well-executed blended learning gives employees access to training in a usable format when they need it, often from wherever they are able to access it. However, as with many other things, the devil is in the details. Just how does one go about designing and implementing blended learning that works? In this TD at Work, you will learn: • when blended learning is an effective choice • how blended learning is delivered • which blended learning modality to use for different types of learning • key information for making blended learning design decisions • potential blended learning benefits and constraints.

Even as enterprise resource planning (ERP) continues to play a strategic role in an education sector, educational institutions and universities are facing many challenges in creating strong ERP applications and methods to achieve the expectations of academia. Enterprise Resource Planning Models for the Education Sector: Applications and Methodologies is a comprehensive collection of research which highlights the increasing demand for insight into the challenges faced by educational institutions on the design and development of enterprise resource planning applications. This book is composed of content from management and engineering students, professionals and researchers in the education fields.
