West, Quill (author), Hofer, Amy (author), Coleman, Dale (author)A common claim in open education is that librarians are effective supporters in open education work because their talents for research, organization, and working with students make them natural supporters of faculty designing OER courses. This study seeks to understand how librarians and faculty interacted with one another in an deliberate...conference paper 2018

Karunanayaka, Shironica P. (author), Naidu, Som (author), Rajendra, J.C.N. (author), Ariadurai, S.A. (author)There is growing interest in the adoption of open educational resources (OER) and open educational practices (OEP) in a variety of contexts. Continuing professional development (CPD) among practitioners in the effective adoption of OER and OEP is critical in this scenario. Massive open online courses (MOOCs), which also grew as part of the open...conference paper 2018

Andrade, Joana B. (author), Bragança, Luís (author)Sustainability concerns are in all sectors’ agendas, and building industry is not an exception. Sustainable design should both, reduce the environmental impact caused by buildings throughout their life cycle and positively contribute to people’s well-being by addressing and being adaptable to their needs. There is the need for an early design...conference paper 2017

Vandenbroucke, M. (author)Abstract only. Today we are getting more and more confronted with the finiteness of mineral and fossil deposits of organic material. Extraction costs are rising and the availability of resources is decreasing. Together with an increased demand -as world population expands and developing nations are becoming wealthier- the situation will become...conference paper 2017

Durmisevic, Elma (author), Beurskens, Pieter R. (author), Adrosevic, Renata (author), Westerdijk, Reonald (author)The physical impact of the increasing building mass in industrial and developing parts of the world is undeniable. In Europe, the building industry accounts for 38 percent of the total waste production, 40 percent of the CO2 emissions and 50 percent of all natural resources used within the building sector. (EIB 2015) Such negative impact of the...conference paper 2017

Denis, F. (author), De Temmerman, N. (author), Rammer, Y. (author)Nowadays, buildings consist in an assembly of several components and systems allowing them to fit the users’ technical, functional and comfort needs. In general, buildings’ systems and components are rather integrated into each-other and therefore, rather difficult to maintain, repair, update or dismantle separately, leading to precocious...conference paper 2017

Oldfield, Jennifer (author), van Oosterom, Peter (author), Quak, Wilko (author), van der Veen, Jeroen (author), Beetz, Jakob (author)Much work has already been done on how a 3D Cadastre should best be developed. An inclusive information model, the Land Administration Model (LADM ISO 19152) has been developed to provide an international framework for how this can best be done. While this generic framework encompasses a wide range of eventualities, it does not prescribe the...conference paper 2016

Galenkamp, H.F. (author), Bosma, C.F. (author)Designing challenges engineers to develop both economically attractive and safe designs. This might seem a paradox, but with the application of the observational method, wherein safety is checked by real-time monitoring, economic design and safety are united. The observational method is recently successfully applied in the Netherlands during the...conference paper 2015

Miranda, C. (author), Teixeira, A. (author), Huber, M. (author), Schweckendiek, T. (author)The traditional Dutch way to deal with piping failure in river dikes is the implementation of piping berms. The disadvantage of such a measure is the required inland space. Relief wells, on the other hand, require less or no inland space representing an attractive alternative solution. The aims of this paper are first, to show how reliability...conference paper 2015
