In this paper, we present an approach to microadaptivity, i.e. to adaptivity within complex learning situations as they occur, e.g., in game-based learning. Integrating the competence-based knowledge space theory and the information-processing theory of human problem solving we developed a sound model as a basis for microadaptivity and continuous competence state monitoring. The architectural d...

This poster session presents the application of principles of information architecture to Web-based instruction. Information architecture is the structuring of data to meet the informational and management requirements of an organization or group of people. The discipline of information architecture is informed by principles of information theory and communication theory, information design, an...

In comparing deliberation to the analysis of a geometrical figure, Aristotle made a highly significant theoretical statement on design, which has largely gone unnoticed. Through an interpretation of the accounts given by Aristotle and the Greek geometer Pappus, seven features of the method of analysis can be identified, concerning the types of analysis, its stages, its start and end points, the...

Purpose Drawing on information processing theory, the linkage between buffering and bridging ability part of procurement to resolve demand–supply imbalances is investigated, as well contexts in which these strategies may be particularly useful or detrimental. Buffering achieved through demand change redundancy, while by means collaboration monitoring. Design/methodology/approach This study empl...
