The article summarizes the symposium and shows basic information presented in delivered reports and conducted scientific workshops
Analiza i charakterystyka architektury informacji platformy Google Classroom
Full text linkThe purpose of this article is to analyze technological solutions and evaluate the usefulness of Google’s free e-learning software. The author undertakes to indicate the advantages and disadvantages while checking the applications of the Google Classroom platform information architecture. The platform, developed since 2014, enjoys a constantly growing interest of smaller universities, and this is closely related to the dynamic development of available functionalities in the offer of one of the largest companies in the world of IT, which is Google. This allows us to assume that the aforementioned teaching platform, thanks to such a developed technological base and experience in the field of user-oriented systems, can become an important market alternative for commonly known LMS (Learning Management System) and LCMS (Learning Content Management System) solutions.Celem niniejszego artykułu jest analiza rozwiązań technologicznych oraz ocena użyteczności darmowego oprogramowania e-learningowego autorstwa Google. Autor podejmuje się wskazania zalet i wad, przy jednoczesnym sprawdzeniu zastosowań architektury informacji platformy Google Classroom. Rozwijana od 2014 r. platforma cieszy się stale rosnącym zainteresowaniem mniejszych uczelni, a ma to ścisły związek z dynamicznym rozwojem dostępnych funkcjonalności w ofercie jednej z największych firm w świecie z branży IT jaką jest Google. Pozwala to przypuszczać, iż wspomniana platforma dydaktyczna, dzięki tak rozwiniętemu zapleczu technologicznemu i doświadczeniu w zakresie systemów ukierunkowanych na użytkowników, może stać się istotną alternatywą rynkową dla powszechnie znanych rozwiązań LMS (ang. Learning Management System) i LCMS (ang. Learning Content Management System)
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Analiza porównawcza wybranych rozwiązań rynkowych systemów e-learningowych
No full textThese/Ziel: Der Beitrag schildert E-Learning als Werkzeug, das angesichts der allgegenwärtigen Informatisierung als eines der größten Unterstützungssysteme der Bildung sowohl für die Schüler als auch für die Lehrer gilt. Forschungsmethode: Der Autor entschied sich für eine Vergleichsanalyse, wollte auf die Unterschiede zwischen den einzelnen E-Learning-Plattformen sowie auf die Vor- und Nachteile dieses Werkzeugs, das die tradierten Unterrichtsformen unterstützt, hinweisen. Ergebnisse/Schlussfolgerungen: Die Arbeitsorganisation mithilfe des E-Learning-Systems hängt größtenteils von seiner Architektur, Konfiguration oder didaktischen Aufgaben ab, welche das System erfüllen sollte. Eine besondere Aufmerksamkeit lenkt sich auf die Unterschiede, die sich aus dem System freier und kommerzieller Lizenzen ergeben, wo sowohl die einen als auch die anderen ihre Vor- und Nachteile haben.Aim: The aim of the article is to present e-learning as a tool that in the era of ubiquitous computerization is one of the largest teaching support systems, both for students and for teachers. Research method: The author carried out a comparative analysis, wanting to show the differences between the discussed e-learning platforms, at the same time indicating the strengths and weaknesses of this tool, used as didactic support for traditional forms of teaching. Conclusions: The organization of work with the e-learning system depends to a large extent on its architecture, configuration or didactic tasks that such a system should meet. Particular attention should be paid to the fact that the differences may arise from systems based on the so-called free and commercial licenses, where both have their advantages and disadvantages.Cel/Teza: Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie e-learningu jako narzędzia, które w dobie wszechobecnej informatyzacji stanowi jeden z największych systemów wsparcia dydaktycznego, zarówno dla uczniów, jak i dla nauczycieli. Metoda badawcza: Autor przeprowadził analizę porównawczą, chcąc wykazać różnice pomiędzy omawianymi platformami e-learningowymi, z równoczesnym wskazaniem mocnych oraz słabych stron tego narzędzia, stosowanego jako wsparcie dydaktyczne dla tradycyjnych form nauczania. Wnioski/Wyniki: Organizacja pracy z systemem e-learingowym w dużej mierze uzależniona jest od jego architektury, konfiguracji czy od zadań dydaktycznych, jakie taki system winien spełniać. Szczególną uwagę należy zwrócić na fakt różnic mogących wynikać z systemów opartych na tzw. licencjach wolnych oraz komercyjnych, gdzie zarówno jedne, jak i drugie mają swoje wady i zalety
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
