LEA_D2.2 PPI Funding Strategy EU and National level
No full textThis report aims to provide information to public procuring organisations interested in participating in the upcoming LEA PPI and PCP projects on the relevant and available upcoming European H2020 programme calls, to give information about available funding opportunities on both EU and national level, and to give an overview of the necessary and basic essentials of planning and conducting the PPI/PCP projects
LEA_D3.2 Requirements for professional teacher training for innovative technologies and needs workshop methodologies
No full textThis report is Deliverable D3.2 connected to task 3.3 in the 3rd work package and is part of MS3 of the LEA project. The leader of the work package is Otto-von-Guericke-University, who also compiled the deliverable. Task 3.3 aims to detect the barriers which prevent the use of learning technology in schools as well as the competencies needed by students and teachers.
The use of digital learning technology has great potential for the school sector. It can promote individual and lifelong learning via the use of special learning environments and prepare content in a form that would be difficult or impossible to implement with conventional means. This is accompanied by new methodological approaches that enable or simplify forms of collaborative work.
Nevertheless, the implementation of learntech in schools is not always possible without issues. There are certain barriers, both on the part of teachers and students, which must be identified and overcome. For this reason, the full potential of learntech for use in schools often cannot be fully exploited. Furthermore, when procuring innovative learning technology, it is important to recognize these barriers for a successful implementation in schools
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
LEA Followers and Procurers Network LEA – N analysis and strategy
Get PDF<p>This document is a mid-term report ( M12) on the progress of how to create a strong European buyers network in education based upon LEA task 2.4 and to fulfill the objective of gathering a criticial mass of procurers. The buyers network will be named the LEA – Network or in brief LEA – N. </p>
<p>Critical mass of procurers refers to the size the buyers network needs to reach in order to efficiently and competitively demonstrate that innovation procurement can rupture traditional roles / systems towards innovation and create a positive impact on learning outcomes. It is also the size the procurers network should attain in order to sustain efficiency in challenging and steering the market towards its needs and providing simplfied future implementation of PCP / PPI in Education on an EU level. </p>
<p>In LEA no specific targeted amount of members is predefined, however, the critical mass of Member States represented is set to minimum 15 in order to guarantee a European coverage. A LEA – N strategy was made in the LEA Baseliine ( D2.1) to divide the creation of the network in two parts:</p>
<p>Creation of LEA Followers strategy M1 - 12</p>
<p>Creation of LEA – Network strategy M 12 – 24 </p>
<p>This report describes the outcome of the first part and provides a strategy for the second part. Additionally the report provides a description of identfied and on- going innovation procurement process as Best Practice in Europe outside LEA . </p>

LEA_D6.2 LEA stakeholder base
No full textThis document presents LEA Stakeholder base which is a table of LEA partners’
relevant contacts. All partners were asked to complete a stakeholder pool form,
which, when combined, forms the LEA project’s stakeholder base. The stakeholder
pool form is a list of organisations and people in the partners’ networks, regions,
cities, countries etc. who are interested in the LEA project and its results and who
can be valuable stakeholders for the project.
The list includes procurers, suppliers, Learning Technology experts and schools,
universities and other educational facilities, but also in addition key figures in a
public office, regional and national networks etc. LEA Stakeholder base is a starting
point for the LEA-Network creation: these organisations can become LEA followers
and partners can disseminate LEA related information to them
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
