One approach that continues to evolve and expand is the blended delivery option. Blended instruction has mainly involved the instructor making decisions regarding the combination of online and in-class learning activities required for the course. Recently, an innovative blended model, hyflex learning, has begun to emerge. Hyflex learning incorporates blended learning characteristics with a more flexible framework. With this model, each student and not the instructor, elects the combination of activities they believe will best meet their learning needs. This study explores the extent to which students' needs and expectations are met in this type of environment. In addition, instructor's perspectives regarding participation and performance in hyflex classes compared to previously taken face-to-face classes will be examined.","PeriodicalId":407855,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Conference on Information Society","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114933390","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Whilst tangible security aspects of such services are relatively well understood, intangible aspects of trust, particularly with respect to trust formation and validation amongst e-partners is a much less well developed area. The contribution offered is largely conceptual at present. The semiotic ladder is used to support the VO service lifecycle (analysis and design) whilst run-time execution is supported via the articulation of a supportive trust agent. The intention is to offer all parties better support for trust (as reputation) management including the reduction of risk and improved reliability of VO e-services. A novel trust agent is proposed that seeks to provide an e-service consumer with an objective measure of the trustworthiness of the e-service at run-time, just prior to its actual consumption. Specifically, VO e-service consumer confidence level is informed, by leveraging third party objective evidence. This comprises a set of Corporate Governance (CG) scores. CG scores are used as a trust proxy for the \"real\" owner of the VO. The scores have inherent limitations, and these are duly acknowledged.","PeriodicalId":407855,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Conference on Information Society","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130965157","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, this paper describes how the online courses were designed and explains the experimental procedures common to all four experiments. Moreover, this paper discusses some of the challenges involved in conducting ‘real’ life experiments on interfaces in an online environment. Some of these challenges, such as students dropping of the courses and participants meeting in other face-to-face courses, do not have simple solutions. Others, such as technical problems should be carefully considered before the experiment starts. Furthermore, ‘real’ life experiment implies in less control over the variables. For this reason, the combination of qualitative and quantitative methods of analysis should be considered.","PeriodicalId":407855,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Conference on Information Society","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133747725","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Locating results that suit the needs of every individual is complicated and difficult, and not always feasible. Most conventional search engines return a small fraction of results per display in textual format. To find their intended documents, users have to scroll over multiple pages while reading plenty of text. Visualisation techniques can increase the possibility of displaying large sets of results without losing the ability to show many relevant features of individual search ‘hits’. Moreover, integrating the user in the process of query reformulation — by visualizing the process itself — is suggested to benefit the overall search relevance.
