Monitoring and evaluating large-scale, ‘open-ended’ habitat creation projects: A journey rather than a destination

Open Ended Group Projects a 'Tool' for More Effective Teaching

Open Ended Group Projects [OEGP] offer an educational 'model', or tool, that has many benefits in terms of how and what students learn. This paper contains an explanation of the ideas that underlie OEGP and relates them to the concepts of problem based learning and educational constructivism. It shows how OEGPs can be used to encourage reflection on and application of the fundamental, subject s...

A Fuzzy Decision-Making Methodology for Risk Response Planning in Large-Scale Projects

Risk response planning is one of the main phases in the project risk management and has major impacts on the success of a large-scale project. Since projects are unique, and risks are dynamic through the life of the projects, it is necessary to formulate responses of the important risks. The conventional approaches tend to be less effective in dealing with the impreciseness of risk response p...

Open Steps: A journey to discover and document Open Knowledge projects around the globe

Open-Steps (http://www.open-steps.org/) is an initiative we, Alex Corbi (Software Developer, Spanish) and Margo Thierry (European Union Affairs/Politics Associate, French) two young Berliners, undertook to explore where Open Knowledge (OK) projects are underway and how they are being implemented in various sectors. We decided to travel the world for one year to accomplish this goal. We began in...

Evaluation of Close-Range Photogrammetric Technique for Deformation Monitoring of Large-Scale Structures: A review

Close-range photogrammetry has been used in many applications in recent decades in various fields such as industry, cultural heritage, medicine and civil engineering. As an important tool for displacement measurement and deformation monitoring, close-range photogrammetry has generally been employed in industrial plants, quality control and accidents. Although close-range photogrammetric applica...
