LA PRODUCTION DE DIDACTICIELS SOUFFRE D'UNE ABSENCE D'OUTILS OPERATIONNELS APPORTANT UNE VERITABLE ASSISTANCE AUX AUTEURS. L'OBSERVATION DES BESOINS, EN PARTICULIER LORS DE L'ELABORATION DE DIDACTICIELS D'APPRENTISSAGE AU PILOTAGE DE SYSTEMES TECHNOLOGIQUES, NOUS CONDUIT A PROPOSER UNE METHODOLOGIE DE DEVELOPPEMENT DE LOGICIELS EDUCATIFS QUI COMBINE: ANALYSE STRUCTUREE, CONCEPTION GUIDEE ET TECHNIQUES D'EVALUATION AVEC UNE TECHNIQUE DE PROTOTYPAGE DANS UN ENVIRONNEMENT D'HYPERDIDACTICIEL. CET ENVIRONNEMENT EDUCATIF DE DEVELOPPEMENT RESPECTE UNE METHODOLOGIE D'ELABORATION ET SE COMPOSE D'UN ENSEMBLE D'OUTILS COORDONNES ET ORGANISES DANS UN ATELIER DE GENIE LOGICIEL APPLIQUE AUX SPECIFICATIONS LOGICIELLES DIDACTIQUES (APPELE AGEDI). CETTE APPROCHE A POUR BUT D'AMELIORER LE DEVELOPPEMENT, LA VALIDATION, L'AFFINEMENT D'UNE MAQUETTE DE DIDACTICIEL ET DONC DE COMPLETER LES SPECIFICATIONS FONCTIONNELLES

Coinciding with the 50th anniversary of his death (August 27, 2015), one of Le Corbusier's most significant books becomes available again in English. We are doing a reprint of MIT Press's first edition of 1991, which again is based on the original French version of 1930, with an introduction added by the author in 1960. While the MIT Press version had black-and-white illustrations throughout, Park Books' new edition features some of Le Corbusier's drawings in color as they were in the earlier French editions. A new essay by British scholar Tim Benton, written for this new edition, contextualizes the book within Le Corbusier's oeuvre and comments on its lasting significance. An also new appendix explains specialist terms and provides background information on persons and historic events no longer necessarily known to a younger generation of architects. The Precisions, as the book is known commonly, emerged from a spontaneous and exuberant series of 10 lectures Le Corbusier gave in Buenos Aires during the fall of 1929. As he spoke, Le Corbusier improvised drawings on large sheets of paper with crayons. While similar drawings appear in other works, here all the lectures and images appear in their original context as Le Corbusier assembled them more than 80 years ago. The texts reflect a new maturity in Le Corbusier's thinking and an extreme confidence in the development of his ideas. The drawings and lectures are unique in their eloquent and concise summary of his philosophy of architecture and urban design, stating the principles that informed his work from the 1920s on. They contain some of his most compelling aphorisms, both verbal and visual, covering technique as the basis of architecture, the human scale in design, furniture, the private house, apartments and office buildings, the city, the League of Nations competition, teaching architecture, and a splendid analysis of the transformation of his own work in houses from La Roche-Jeanneret to the Villa Savoye. [Based on MIT Press's copy for their 1991 edition]

Illustrating his points with many references to actual projects, John Zeisel explains, in non-technical language, the integration of social science research and design. The book provides a provocative text for students in all the fields related to environm

CE TRAVAIL S'INSCRIT DANS LE PROJET ATELIER DE GENIE DIDACTICIEL INTEGRE (A.G.D.I.) DU LABORATOIRE A.P.I. DONT L'OBJECTIF EST DE REDUIRE LES DIFFICULTES DE CONCEPTION ET PRODUCTION DE LOGICIELS EDUCATIFS PAR L'APPLICATION DES TECHNIQUES ET METHODES DE GENIE LOGICIEL ET D'INTELLIGENCE ARTIFICIELLE AUX DOMAINES DE L'ENSEIGNEMENT ASSISTE PAR ORDINATEUR (E.A.O.) ET ENSEIGNEMENT INTELLIGEMMENT ASSISTE PAR ORDINATEUR (E.I.A.O.). POUR LA REALISATION D'UN TYPE DE SYSTEMES D'E.I.A.O. QUALIFIES DE SYSTEMES HYBRIDES (COUVRANT PLUSIEURS CLASSES DE TUTEURS INTELLIGENTS), NOUS AVONS DEFINI: 1) UNE METHODOLOGIE DE CONCEPTION PERMETTANT DE DETERMINER DANS CES SYSTEMES, LES PARTIES RELEVANT DE L'E.A.O. CLASSIQUE ET CELLES RELEVANT DE L'E.I.A.O.; 2) UNE SPECIFICATION FORMELLE DES CONNAISSANCES NECESSAIRES POUR PRENDRE EN COMPTE CE PROBLEME (APPROCHE OBJET POUR LES PARTIES E.A.O. CLASSIQUE; APPROCHE REGLES DE PRODUCTION POUR LA PARTIE E.I.A.O.); 3) UNE ARCHITECTURE ASSEZ SOUPLE ET PARAMETRABLE BASEE SUR LE COUPLAGE D'UN SYSTEME AUTEUR AVEC UN GENERATEUR DE SYSTEME EXPERT PERMETTANT D'UTILISER CETTE FORMALISATION DES CONNAISSANCES ET UNE NORMALISATION DES OUTILS EMPLOYES. CES SYSTEMES RESPECTENT D'UNE PART, LA FLEXIBILITE ET LA PERSONNALISATION (PROPRIETES ESSENTIELLES DES TUTEURS INTELLIGENTS) ET D'AUTRE PART, L'ADAPTABILITE ET LA NORMALISATION. LA PRODUCTION DE CES SYSTEMES EST ALORS ENVISAGEABLE DANS L'ENVIRONNEMENT A.G.D.I., STRUCTURE A TROIS NIVEAUX D'INTERVENTIONS (APPRENANT, PEDAGOGUE/CONCEPTEUR, INGENIEUR DIDACTICIEL). NOTRE TRAVAIL SE SITUE AU NIVEAU INTERMEDIAIRE POUR LA REALISATION DE SYSTEMES D'E.I.A.O. L'ENSEIGNANT SPECIFIE SES BESOINS DANS UNE PHASE DE CONCEPTION EN APPLIQUANT LA METHODOLOGIE. LA SPECIFICATION FORMELLE SERA UTILISEE DANS UNE PHASE DE SIMULATION PERMETTANT AU PEDAGOGUE/CONCEPTEUR DE VALIDER SES DONNEES. ENFIN LA PHASE DE REALISATION UTILISE L'ARCHITECTURE HYBRIDE POUR PRODUIRE EFFECTIVEMENT LE SYSTEM

Knowledge Management and Organizational Memories presents models, methods, and techniques for building, managing and using corporate memories. These models incorporate knowledge bases, ontologies, documents, FAQs, workflow systems, case-based reasoning systems, multi-agent systems, and CSCW. The book is divided into five parts: methods; knowledge-based approaches; ontologies and documents; case-based reasoning approaches; and distributed and collaborative approaches.

Verna Allee, whose groundbreaking book 'The Knowledge Evolution' helped usher in the exploding field of knowledge management, has brought her experience-tested insights into an exciting new synthesis, penetrating to the very heart of value creation. 'The Future of Knowledge' strips away traditional business thinking to reveal the new patterns of management thought and practice essential for success in a more complex world. With a gift for making the complex simple and practical, Allee weaves together diverse threads such as business webs, communities of practice, knowledge technologies, intangibles, network analysis, and biology to show why organizations must be supported as living systems before their natural networked pattern of organization can emerge. Embodying Allee's visionary approach, 'The Future of Knowledge' brings forward a practical view of new theories, frameworks, tools, and methods offering businesses a guide to managing the increasing levels of complexity within their organizations and in society at large. 'The Future of Knowledge' works on many levels: * At the strategic level, the new tools are intangible scorecards and understanding value networks * At the tactical level, the knowledge management tools for exchanging and applying knowledge are knowledge networks and communities of practice * At the operational level, a wealth of new technologies is supporting the codification, storage and delivery of the knowledge people need to complete their routine tasks.

In the present generation, the attention paid to information continues to grow in importance. Much of this attention has been the result of an explosion in data-processing technology, with computers serving as the primary catalyst. However, other national events, such as hurricanes, floods, crime, and terror, are clearly tied to the importance of obtaining and processing information in our daily lives as well. For the last several decades, educational systems have responded to these technological advances by introducing, at an early age, the important role data-processing technology presents and will continue to represent. Many schools now include courses in computer science as part of their curriculum. Information Science 101 helps high school and college freshman identify and understand careers in information science. With this text, author Anthony Debons, one of the early founders of the discipline of Information Science, gives attention to the role of various disciplines in the field: library/documentation, tele-transmission, computer science and practice, decision making/problem solving, knowledge organization, and management. With examples, illustrations, chapter summaries, and exercises to help marry the human with the technological aspects of the field, this text gives a complete overview of Information Science, from its origins to the future of the field.
