The use of gamification in workplace learning to encourage employee motivation and engagement
(2019)
When we think about playing a game, be it a card game, board game, sport, or video game, we generally associate the act of playing with a positive experience like having fun, enjoying the interaction with others, or feeling a greater motivation to reach a certain goal. By contrast, workplace learning is often perceived as being dull. Employees are likely at some point in their career to find themselves stuck in a rigidly defined seminar for a long period of time or in front of their computer navigating through a mandatory e-learning course on a dry topic such as standards of business conduct of safety policies.
In recent years, organizations have tried to leverage the motivating quality of games for more serious learning contexts. Gamification entails transferring those elements and principles from games to nongaming context that improve user experience and engagement. In this chapter, we will specifically focus on the context of workplace learning.
Quest 3C : an integrative simulation game used to encourage cross-disciplinary thinking and action
(2014)
Interdisciplinary, complex problem-solving and the necessity to communicate effectively in global Teams characterise today’s rapidly changing Business environment. Employers consistently stress the need for business engineering graduates to demonstrate technical expertise, methodological competences and diverse soft skills. The "silo effect" in higher education has partially created a gap between what industry wants and what academia provides. Here we examine how interdisciplinary team teaching and shared ICT might be more effective in bringing higher education teaching in sync with industry and its demands.
Gelebte Internationalität ist das führende Markenzeichen der Hochschule Reutlingen. Die als Deutschlands "Internationale Hochschule 2010" ausgezeichnete Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften bildet nach dem Grundsatz "global denken, lokal handeln" junge Menschen zu hochqualifizierten und verantwortungsbewussten Persönlichkeiten aus, die aufgrund ihrer interkulturellen Kompetenz souverän und sensibel im globalen Netzwerk agieren können. Alle fünf Fakultäten sind in den Internationalisierungsprozess eingebunden, am weitesten ist man in der größten Fakultät der Hochschule Reutlingen, der ESB Business School.
Quality-oriented selection of university partnerships : ESB Business School’s selection matrix
(2015)
Ein wichtiges Qualifikationsziel von heutigen Wirtschaftsingenieurstudien-programmen ist, Studierende dazu zu befähigen, vernetzt, ganzheitlich, interkulturell und interdisziplinär zu denken und zu handeln. Die Lehr- und Lerninnovation Quest 3C fördert durch ein integratives Blended-Learning Format sowohl die Vermittlung von grundlegendem Fachwissen als auch von berufsqualifizierenden Schlüsselkompetenzen.
This article explores current debate on the use of soft power in international higher education, highlighting existing tensions between competing political and academic discourses. It draws on examples from practice and relevant insights in soft power scholarship to capture varying paradoxes and dilemmas that emerge as nations try to leverage the power of international tertiary education to enhance their brand and attract foreign audiences in the name of public diplomacy. Whilst exposing cases of hubris and hidden agendas, this study also addresses issues of inequality and responds to a growing call for knowledge diplomacy aimed at tackling common global problems.
A concept for a slope shaping gate driver IC is proposed, used to establish control over the slew rates of current and voltage during the turn-on and turn off switching transients.
It combines the high speed and linearity of a fully-integrated closed-loop analog gate driver, which is able to perform real-time regulation, with the advantages of digital control, like flexibility and parameter independency, operating in a predictive cycle-bycycle regulation. In this work, the analog gate drive integrated circuit is partitioned into functional blocks and modeled in the small-signal domain, which also includes the non-linearity of parameters. An analytical stability analysis has been performed in order to ensure full functionality of the system controlling a modern generation IGBT and a superjunction MOSFET. Major parameters of influence, such as gate resistor and summing node capacitance, are investigated to achieve stable control. The large-signal behavior, investigated by simulations of a transistor level design, verifies the correct operation of the circuit. Hence, the gate driver can be designed for robust operation.
In a digitally controlled slope shaping system, reliable detection of both voltage and current slope is required to enable a closed-loop control for various power switches independent of system parameters. In most state-of-the-art works, this is realized by monitoring the absolute voltage and current values. Better accuracy at lower DC power loss is achieved by sensing techniques for a reliable passive detection, which is achieved through avoiding DC paths from the high voltage network into the sensing network. Using a high-speed analog-to-digital converter, the whole waveform of the transient derivative can be stored digitally and prepared for a predictive cycle-by-cycle regulation, without requiring high-precision digital differentiation algorithms. To gain an accurate representation of the voltage and current derivative waveforms, system parasitics are investigated and classified in three sections: (1) component parasitics, which are identified by s-parameter measurements and extraction of equivalent circuit models, (2) PCB design issues related to the sensing circuit, and (3) interconnections between adjacent boards.
The contribution of this paper is an optimized sensing network on the basis of the experimental study supporting fast transition slopes up to 100 V/ns and 1 A/ns and beyond, making the sensing technique attractive for slope shaping of fast switching devices like modern generation IGBTs, CoolMOSTM and SiC mosfets. Measurements of the optimized dv/dt and di/dt setups are demonstrated for a hard switched IGBT power stage.
Eines der gängigsten bildgebenden Verfahren in der Medizin ist die Sonografie. Jedoch ist die Reproduzierbarkeit der Ultraschalldiagnostik bis heute noch immer ein Problem, wodurch Fehldiagnosen gestellt werden. Durch das in diesem Papier vorgestellte prototypische System zur Unterstützung für Medizinstudenten in Ultraschallseminaren sollen Anforderungen zur Reproduzierbarkeit einer Ultraschalluntersuchung definiert werden. Durch Experteninterviews wurden Einblicke in die klinischen Abläufe und den Krankenhaus-Alltag gewonnen, welche Inhalte relevant sind, um die Reproduzierbarkeit von Ultraschalluntersuchungen zu ermöglichen.
