Research Project Participation

1.	1999-2001	MODEL IST PROJECT. The rational of the project is: (1) to identify factors which enable and constrain the capture, structure and diffusion of knowledge across the organization and over time, (2) to develop an organizational methodology which facilitates the capture of both explicit and tacit knowledge, (3) to develop software applications which can store and structure the captured knowledge, (4) to develop a learning platform (including methodological guidelines and S/W applications) which nurtures at both individual and organizational levels the knowing capacity i.e. the capacity to enact skills which are associated with putting knowledge into practice, (5) to test the system in a real-life organizational environment through action research with private companies and academic operators specialised in executives training.

Through this project a new subject entitled ‘Internet and Distance Learning’ was proposed by the research group and introduced in secondary schools. For the purpose of this subject, Mr. Themistocleous, Mr. Lytras and Prof. Doukidis wrote a book, which was adopted by the Greek Pedagogical Institute and the Ministry of Education and it is used as teaching book in secondary schools.
9.	1999 - 2000	EPEAEK DISLEACE. This project aimed at the development of a distance-learning centre on behalf of Athens University of Economics and Business. The centre provides 4 tele-courses on Electronic Commerce, Electronic Marketing, Statistics and Advanced Methods of Training and it is currently used by Athens University of Economics and Business.
10.	1999 - 2000	EPEAEK HEHO (Educational Space Without Limits). HEHO project introduced a distance-learning network that serves 3 universities in Greece (Athens University of Economics and Business, University of Macedonia [Salonika] and Technical University of Chania [Crete]). In this context a distance learning system was established in each university, and 3 different subjects are provided (Electronic Commerce and Business Processes, Health and safety and Modelling business processes). The distance learning environment supports a joined master established by the aforementioned universities.
11.	1999 – 2000	EPEAEK CERTIFICATION. HEHO and CERTIFICATION were sub- projects of an integrated proposal for the development of a distance learning environment to support the teaching processes of 3 universities in Greece (Athens University of Economics and Business, University of Macedonia [Salonika] and Technical University of Chania [Crete]. In this context, the aim of CERTIFICATION project was to certify the teaching processes over distance learning systems. For that reason, the participants of this project collaborated with British Bodies (e.g. Pitman) that certify training. The output of CERTIFICATION project was the development of a certification process for distance learning environments, which was adopted and used by the participants.
	1998 – 2000	ADAPT KALABRYTA. The objective of the project was to develop a number of advanced electronic commerce applications, which resulted in the development of an integrated innovative system. The system was implemented for the region of Kalabryta in Greece and attempted to promote and support the companies of the region using electronic commerce technologies (e.g. electronic stores). In this framework, a number of advanced applications were developed on a regional base including: electronic stores, electronic tourism systems, web advertising systems, integrated system for the ski centre which uses smart cards to collect data and publish this data over internet, info-kiosks that provide information and support hotel reservations etc.

THESIS ABSTRACT_________________________:

Text Box:

The Multidimensional Dynamic E-learning Model

Our research work is based on a number of hypotheses or theoretical foundations that jointly formulate our scientific context of analysis:

H1: Every e-learning system delivers value to the trainers as well as to the teachers. If this hypothesis is true then all the available e-learning tools could be positioned some where on a value grid with different value levels.

H2: The value delivery of e-learning is based on specific value adding components, which in general constitute a kind of a learning product.

H3: The realization of the learning product requires the employment of specific learning processes capable to reveal the components of the various e-learning products.

H4: The value of e-learning is maximized when dynamic characteristics are embedded on e-learning solutions. The definition of these dynamic characteristics is of high priority for our research efforts.

H4: The value exploitation of e-learning products is directly related to specific metadata capable to support an integrated metadata management mechanism.

H5: The value dimension of e-learning is related directly to the knowledge management capabilities of the employed e-learning system.

H6: The value delivery of e-learning systems is related directly to its capability to cooperate effectively with the critical business information systems within an organization.

The above hypotheses can be presented graphically, in order to have an overall view of our recommendations. The main issue is the understanding that e-learning courses preparation needs a multidisciplinary contribution in terms or functionalities, pedagogy and knowledge management processes. The overall objective of our approach is to justify scientifically the value adding components of an e-learning mechanism that could support the knowledge exploitation within a business organization or an academic setting. This knowledge management approach to e-learning expands further the traditional approach of static content on e-learning environments and investigates ways that support dynamic value adding processes for e-learning systems.

Issues such as reusability of learning objects, dynamic (re) construction of learning modules, utilization of learning templates, and reinforcement of the capacities for effective actions through the usage of the e-learning system are of critical importance and represent crucial milestones in our research approach.
