- Higher education and Web 2.0: barriers and best practices from the standpoint of practitionersPublication . Isaias, Pedro; Miranda, Paula; Pífano, SaraThe abundance of evidence of Web 2.0’s value in educational settings has provided both educators and researchers with prized information about the application of a panoply of technologies. The experience that this evidence portrays can be used to meaningfully direct teachers in their own ventures of Web 2.0 implementation. In online learning environments, any collaboration between the students must occur with the support of technology, so it is fundamental that technology functions as an enabler, maximizing the opportunities that online settings offer, and that students can tap into those technologies to enhance their learning experience. This chapter focuses on the implementation of Web 2.0 within higher education from the viewpoint of e-learning experts. It reports on the findings of on online questionnaire that examined both the barriers and the best practices of implementation and that was applied internationally among researchers and teachers in the higher education sector.

- CRM 2.0 and Mobile CRM: a framework proposal and study in European Recruitment AgenciePublication . Gregório, Tânia Isabel; Isaías, PedroCompanies are becoming more focused on customers and on new ways to approach them individually. Mobile technologies and Web 2.0 have been pushing companies to evolve in this area. This research is focused on the way Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems are used, on a European level, by recruiting companies to assist candidates in finding a satisfactory job. A framework is presented to identify how CRM 2.0 and mCRM (mobile CRM) can help candidates to find jobs in a personalized way. A set of four hypotheses have been defined. To gain a better understanding of these CRM systems, the methodology used in the exploratory study was quantitative, employing a non-probabilistic sampling technique, with 35 recruiting agencies being studied. Results showed that the use of software in recruiting agencies is quite common and that CRM 2.0 is present in the vast majority of the studied companies. When it comes to mobile CRM, there's still much to be explored in this channel, as agencies focus their resources on Web 2.0, leaving this channel's great potential of mobile CRM unused.
- Guest editorial: technology supported cognition and exploratory learningPublication . Ifenthaler, Dirk; Isaias, Pedro; Kinshuk; Sampson, Demetrios; Spector, J. MichaelEditors of this special issue selected a number of papers presented at IADIS International Conference CELDA (Cognition and Exploratory Learning in Digital Age) 2010 conference that were very highly rated by reviewers, well received at the conference, and nicely complementary in terms of research, theory, and implications for learning and instruction. These papers have been edited and revised based on feedback from conference participants and subsequent review by the editors of this special issue and reviewers recruited to assist in this process. The organizing committee of IADIS CELDA 2010 proposed a special issue of Educational Technology & Society Journal based on selected papers from IADIS CELDA 2010. The result is the five papers included in this special issue.
- Collaborative design of case studies applying an adaptive digital learning toolPublication . Isaías, Pedro; Lima, SolangeThis paper explores the use of Smart Sparrow as an authoring tool to explore course content using adaptive case studies that were developed by students. Smart Sparrow is a platform that endows teachers with the possibility to build adaptive learning pathways for their course content. The collaboration process started with students from a previous course within the Students as Partners framework. For the group participants, it was a rich learning opportunity for understanding the course content, the adaptive delivery platform and the course assessment. As students construct the cases, they become creators of content. This paper describes the process of creating the content using a collaborative design process, and the lessons learned.

- Patient standardization identification as a healthcare issuePublication . Macedo, Mario; Isaías, PedroHealthcare organizations use information systems with several different types of data and user interfaces. The lack of standardization means loss of efficiency and effectiveness. It limits the expected quality of Healthcare services. Some difficulties for this standardization are known. However there are models that can respond to the complexity of this area of science and evolve with the development of knowledge. A problem which is common to several organizations is the lack of automatic identification of patients. Another one is how to solve the problem of having information duplicated in different databases. The purpose of this paper is to show the importance of the standardization of clinical data and the development of unique models of identification that will enable setting unique access keys and the interconnection between all the clinical data. The empowerment of systems that support clinical decision and the use of workflows for treatment plans that involve more than an organization of Healthcare will only be possible if they use standard models, open technologies and unique patient identification.
