    <p>Poster for the published conference paper:</p><p>Robal, T., Kalja, A. (2006). Moving studies to e-environments: a case study. <i>Current Developments in Technology-Assisted Education (2006), Vol. II.</i> Ed. Méndez-Vilas, A.; Solano Martín, A.; Mesa González, J.A.; Mesa González, J. Badajoz, Spain: Formatex, 936−940. </p><p>The rapid expansion of the Internet with the development of web-based technologies and services has had its impact on today's educational possibilities, enabling to move studies to e-environments. E-learning offers new possibilities to attain knowledge where time and distance are not the issue anymore, taking an advantage of the technologies and tools available. Also, traditional learning is moving towards the use of web-based environments and tools. There have been many different educational and learning support systems, some of them have failed, and some have been more or less successful. Hereby, we will provide an overview of the system, its importance and implementation in the study process with emphasis on the actual needs of ICT-teachers and students, as well as discuss the services and tools provided by e-EDU.</p&gt

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The 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

    Variations on the Author

    “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
