Organizations are increasingly adopting digital strategies and investing heavily in digital technologies and initiatives. However, to date, there does not appear to be a clear understanding of digital strategies and their purpose, which forms the motivation for this research. This research-in-progress study aims to address this research gap by exploring 1) the various conceptions of digital str...

•Many parents use multiple monitoring strategies in different combinations over time to monitor their adolescents.•Adolescents of parents who use multiple strategies reported greater risk involvement.•Parents who solicited information only from adolescents had greater knowledge and adolescent disclosure.

Many documents and more generally many resources are produced or used in an e-learning application. In order to capitalize these resources and to facilitate their access, we propose to organise them in a “learning organisational memory” (MEMORAe project). In this paper, we present the context of use, the needs and the contents of this memory. We describe the ontologies and the Topic Maps formal...

Nowadays, data handled by an institution or company is spread out by more than one database and lots of documents of different types. To extract the information implicit in that data, it is necessary to pick parts from those various archives. To obtain a general overview, those information slices should be gather. Different approaches can be followed to achieve that integration, ranging from th...

The focus of this paper is on developing ways to evaluate teaching performance on a regular basis as a means of improving teaching effectiveness and increasing student learning in the classroom. In particular, this paper shows how an instructor-developed pretest, when given at the start of an introductory economics course as part of a preand post-test strategy, can be used as a diagnostic and d...

This paper describes the digitization and utilization of Complete Map of Peking, Qianlong Period, which is the oldest measured map of Beijing made about 250 years ago. We first proposed the geometric correction method called “linepreserving distance weighting method” to preserve linear features relevant in the old map of cities. Next we improved the reliability of the old map as information inf...

In E-Learning, the selection of the pedagogical contents to teach and the organization of this content are two principal operations during the design of a course. The growth and the diversity of the informational resources used generate problems of diffusion, access, of classification and management. With the MEMORAe project, we deal with these problems and propose to answer them by using an on...
