Abstract: Good collaboration and code management are crucial in today's software development environment. Our research has launched a new collaborative process that combines AI resources, including AI and global research, to improve products and enhance and facilitate collaboration. The platform features real-time collaboration tools such as dynamic text with multilanguage support, dialog functionality, and notepad functionality. With OAuth authentication, users can seamlessly perform CRUD operations on files and directories, share code repositories, and participate in live coding sessions. The platform supports compilation and execution of a code file and follows good design principles such as caching, microservices architecture, and containerization to ensure scalability and performance. The platform focuses on user experience by providing simple user interface design and easy interface navigation. Users can create workspaces, share them collaboratively, and seamlessly import repositories from Git. The platform's intelligent data manager helps manage files and directories, while the collaborative platform allows developers to collaborate on code libraries efficiently. The platform is modern web-based, using React on the frontend and Node.js on the backend; Supported with syntax highlighting and smart initialization along with Socket.io for runtime with SQL and NoSQL databases. Provides comprehensive language support. All progress is saved, providing users with peace of mind. While the basic design is for desktops, future iterations are expected to support mobile devices.

Metaverse platforms are becoming an increasingly popular form of collaboration within virtual worlds. Such platforms provide users with the ability to build virtual worlds that can simulate real-life experiences through different social activities. In the paper, we introduce a novel platform that provides assistive tools for building an educational experience in virtual worlds and overcoming the boundaries caused by pandemic situations. Therefore, the authors developed a high-level software architecture and design for a metaverse platform named VoRtex. VoRtex is primarily designed to support collaborative learning activities with the virtual environment. It is designed to support educational standards and it represents an open-source accessible solution developed using modern technology stack and metaverse concepts. For this study, we conducted a comparative analysis of the implemented VoRtex prototype and some popular virtual world platforms using Mannien’s matrix. Afterwards, based on the comparison, we evaluated the potential of the chosen virtual world platform and the VoRtex platform for online education. After an interactive demonstration of the VoRtex platform, participants were asked to fill out a questionnaire form. The aim was to enable participants to identify the main advantages of online teaching using the VoRtex platform. Finally, the authors analyzed benefits and disadvantages of collaborative learning between the metaverse platform and real-world classroom sessions.

Over the last decade, platforms have emerged in numerous industries and often transformed them, posing new challenges for transportation research. Platform providers such as Uber, Uber Freight, Blackbuck, or Lyft mostly do not have immediate control over the physical resources needed to move people or goods. They often operate in a multi-sided market setting, where it is crucial to design clear incentives to motivate a third party to engage in collaboration. As a consequence, collaboration incentives become an integral part of decision support models for platform providers and they need to be developed at the operational level and applied dynamically. Naturally, this involves a trade-off between the interests of platform providers, shippers, and carriers. In this work, we investigate the real-world case of a platform provider operating as an intermediary between shippers and carriers in a less-than-truckload (LTL) business. We propose a new mixed-integer programming (MIP) formulation for the underlying collaborative pickup and delivery problem with time windows (PDPTW) that minimizes the price the platform pays to the carriers and enforces collaboration incentives for carriers through individual rationality constraints. This is facilitated by a dynamic pricing approach which ensures that carriers are better off collaborating than working on their own. The pricing is bounded by the costs and market conditions to keep the price range reasonable. We explore possible policies to be implemented by the platform and find that their business remains profitable when individual rationality is enforced and the platform could even guarantee increased profit margins to the carriers as incentives.

The purpose of this study is to construct a web-based Computer Support for Collaborative Design (CSCD) learning platform based on theories related to a constructivist learning environment model, mind mapping and computer-supported collaborative learning. The platform conforms to the needs of design students and provides effective tools for interaction and collaborative learning by integrating mind-mapping tools into a learning environment that utilizes CSCD, a computer-assisted support system that can support and enhance group collaboration. The establishment of the CSCD learning platform represents a significant advance beyond the fixed functions and existing models of current online learning platforms and is the only learning platform in the world that focuses on learners in design departments. The platform offers outstanding user-friendly functions and innovative technology. In terms of funding, technical ability, human resources, organizational strategies, and risk analysis and evaluations, the learning platform is also worthy of expansion and implementation.

The ongoing digitization of online learning resources has led to a proliferation of collaboration platforms for specific areas of application and disciplines. Simultaneously, especially manufacturing companies need to gain and secure knowledge in the field of Industrial Data Science (IDS) and to collaborate with partners to form a competitive value chain. In this paper, collaborative and competency-based requirements for applying industrial data analytics are adapted into specifications for implementing a collaboration platform. The currently absent requirements of IDS projects are defined and then turned into platform-specific functions. In an ongoing research project the functions are applied in an online platform. The usage in a system of dynamic value networks validates the defined requirements in a practical environment. The innovation of the platform is its clear focus on IDS project practitioners, who are typically comprised of several different domains. It secures a long-term use of deployed data analytics solutions in the industrial environment. The first version of the developed collaboration platform is available online and still in validation.

Full textAbstract:
This paper presents our work in the design and development of collaborative platforms to support distributed scientific collaborations in a national biosecurity laboratory which carries out diagnostics and research work in animal diseases. We have focused on two types of collaboration challenges. One is the “distributed” collaborations between scientists working inside the physical containment areas and scientists working in the general office area within the laboratory. The second is the collaborative diagnosis and decision-making work between this laboratory and other organizations working on the responses of emergency animal diseases. The “biosecurity collaboration platform” which addresses the first challenge has been implemented and used by the scientists in the laboratory. The platform integrates shared digital workspaces and supports the sharing and interaction of scientific data from various resources and laboratory instruments (e.g. microscopes). The “secure collaboration platform” which addresses the second challenge is an extension of the biosecurity collaboration platform and integrates eAuthentication and eAuthorization technologies to support secure communication and information sharing between experts from different organizations. Results from user studies have shown that the collaboration platforms can provide core capabilities of communication, trustworthy information sharing and access to real-time data from scientific instruments in complex collaborations in the biosecurity domain.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to define and analyse the emergence of collaborative engagement platforms (CEPs) as part of a rising platformisation phenomenon. Contrary to previous literature on engagement platforms (EPs), this study distinguishes between formalised and self-organised EPs and sheds light on collaborative EPs on which heterogeneous actors operate without central control by legislated firm actors. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on institutional work theory, this paper explores the institutional rules, norms and practices involved in the emergence of a new platform. This paper implements a longitudinal case study of a local food network called REKO and explores how engagement practices and institutional work patterns catalysed its emergence during 2013–2020. Findings The findings of this study show that actors engaged within the REKO platform participated in institutional work patterns of disruption, creation and maintenance, which drove the development of the platform and ensured its viability. Research limitations/implications This paper encourages future research to further explore how different types of EPs emerge and function. Practical implications The rise of CEPs pushes the dominant managerial orientation to progress from the management “of” a platform to managing “within” a platform. For managers, this means developing novel practices for engaging and committing a versatile set of actors to nurture open-ended, multi-sided collaboration. Originality/value This study contributes by conceptualising different types of platforms with a particular focus on CEPs and explicating the engagement practices and institutional work patterns that catalyse their emergence.

Full textAbstract:
The term “collaborative economy” or “collaborative economy platforms” refers to exchange, sharing, and collaboration in the consumption and production of capital and labor among distributed groups, supported by a digital platform. Collaborative economies’ use is growing rapidly and exponentially, creating high expectations of sustainability and their potential to contribute to the democratization of the economy. However, collaborative economy platforms lack a holistic framework to assess their sustainability and pro-democratization qualities. In addition, there is confusion about platforms which present themselves as collaborative when they actually are not, and similar uncertainties and ambiguities are associated with diverse models. To address this confusion, this article provides a framework for assessing the pro-democratic qualities of collaborative economy initiatives. It was applied to 10 cases in the context of the city of Barcelona. The methods used in this study include mapping and typifying 10 collaborative economy cases in the city, structured and in-depth interviews, and a co-creation session. The results indicate the presence of several modalities for favoring democratic values in a collaborative economy.

Full textAbstract:
Augmented Reality (AR) functionalities may be effectively leveraged in collaborative service scenarios (e.g., remote maintenance, on-site building, street gaming, etc.). Standard development cycles for collaborative AR require to code for each specific visualization platform and implement the necessary control mechanisms over the shared assets. in order to face this challenge, this paper describes SARA, an architecture to support cross-platform collaborative Augmented Reality applications based on microservices. The architecture is designed to work over the concept of collaboration models which regulate the interaction and permissions of each user over the AR assets. Five of these collaboration models were initially integrated in SARA (turn, layer, ownership, hierarchy-based and unconstrained examples) and the platform enables the definition of new ones. Thanks to the reusability of its components, during the development of an application, SARA enables focusing on the application logic while avoiding the implementation of the communication protocol, data model handling and orchestration between the different, possibly heterogeneous, devices involved in the collaboration (i.e., mobile or wearable AR devices using different operating systems). to describe how to build an application based on SARA, a prototype for HoloLens and iOS devices has been implemented. the prototype is a collaborative voxel-based game in which several players work real time together on a piece of land, adding or eliminating cubes in a collaborative manner to create buildings and landscapes. Turn-based and unconstrained collaboration models are applied to regulate the interaction. the development workflow for this case study shows how the architecture serves as a framework to support the deployment of collaborative AR services, enabling the reuse of collaboration model components, agnostically handling client technologies.

Full textAbstract:
Designing a successful and efficient collaborative governance mechanism to promote the value co-creation of complementors has become critical to platform owners. Therefore, using an evolutionary game theory approach, we first constructed a conceptual model of collaborative governance, analyzing the conditions of collaborative governance of multiple subjects. This was based on the belief that the design of a collaborative governance mechanism needs to nurture collaborative culture and internalize it into the practice of platform governance. Secondly, this paper built a tripartite evolutionary game model of platform enterprises, complementary enterprises, and users, systematically illustrating the strategy evolution process of the three parties under incentive and penalty mechanisms, and simulated the influence of parameters, such as cost, culture, and cooperative willingness, on the evolutionary results. The results showed that: (1) A culture of trust and encouragement of innovation was more conducive to collaborative innovation; (2) Platform enterprises are more sensitive to joint cost investment, work culture environment, and benefit distribution; (3) Complementary enterprises and users have a solid ambition to respond to the impulses of digital technology. In particular, when the initial desire to collaborate is low, the evolutionary process of platform enterprises presents an asymmetric ‘U’ shape. To enable stakeholders of the platform to formally, prudently, and deeply participate in the ecological governance process, platform enterprises should fully use network resources and digital technology to build a platform for high-intensity interaction and communication between complementary enterprises and users, and improve their identification with the innovation culture.

Full textAbstract:
Climate-related natural disasters have affected the lives of thousands of people. Global warming creates warmer and drier conditions which increase the risk of wildfires. In large-scale disasters such as wildfires, search and rescue (SAR) operations become extremely challenging due to low visibility, difficulty to breath, and high temperature from fire and smoke. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), such as drones, have been used to support such operations. In our previous work, a Krypto module is proposed to “sniff” out wireless signals from mobile phones to locate any possible survivors. With the increased popularity of drones, it is possible to allow people to volunteer in SAR operations with their drones. In this paper, we propose an Open Collaborative Platform for multiple drones to assist SAR operations. The open platform manages different searching drones that carry the Krypto module to collaborate by sharing information and planning search paths/areas. With our Open Collaborative Platform, anyone can participate in SAR operations and contribute to finding possible survivors. The novelty of this work is the openness and collaboration of the platform that “crowdsourcing” the searching operation to a large group of people who share information and contribute to finding possible survivors in a large disaster such as wildfires. Our experimental study shows that the Open Collaborative Platform is effective in reducing both the number of drones required and the search time for finding survivors.

Abstract Objective To discuss and illustrate the utility of two open collaborative data science platforms, and how they would benefit data science and informatics education. Methods and Materials The features of two online data science platforms are outlined. Both are useful for new data projects and both are integrated with common programming languages used for data analysis. One platform focuses more on data exploration and the other focuses on containerizing, visualization, and sharing code repositories. Results Both data science platforms are open, free, and allow for collaboration. Both are capable of visual, descriptive, and predictive analytics Discussion Data science education benefits by having affordable open and collaborative platforms to conduct a variety of data analyses. Conclusion Open collaborative data science platforms are particularly useful for teaching data science skills to clinical and nonclinical informatics students. Commercial data science platforms exist but are cost-prohibitive and generally limited to specific programming languages.

This article describes the integration of a smartphone, a world viewer and a geodatabase into a collaborative virtual environment (CVE) as a knowledge management platform for use in land management. A spatial interoperability mechanism was designed for integration of these various technologies distributed in different system layers and written in different programming languages. As users may vary in their education backgrounds and understanding of advanced information technologies, the proposed platform employs existing popular spatial technologies to facilitate usage. The platform includes an iPhone™ application, a web portal based on Google Earth™ viewer and a data server, all of which may be deployed in different and distant places, allowing remote collaboration. To evaluate the usability of the platform, a case study was implemented involving a scientist, a farmer and an agricultural consultant working collaboratively, but remotely, within the system to support their farming practices, decision-making and agricultural research. Users found that the efficiency of agricultural knowledge transfer was increased, and the centralized knowledge database would also be helpful for tracking farming history and supporting agricultural research. This represents a new paradigm in agricultural knowledge management, where relationships between the three key parties are bidirectional, in contrast to the traditional knowledge transfer pattern. This paradigm can be readily extended to other environmental management contexts.

Full textAbstract:
Collaboration between government, the private sector and citizens is deemed critical to further improve the quality and effectiveness of public services. However, the stage models describing and guiding the development of e-government do not or only rarely cover external collaboration for improving public services. The authors argue that this gap can be filled by including insights from literature on the evolution of platforms, which can serve as a medium for collaboration between public and private parties. This paper aims to synthesise e-government maturity models and platform development models to act as a guide to move from government-centred public service improvement to collaborative innovations by government, businesses and citizens. The result is a platform development model with five stages. To see how the model holds in practice, three cases are investigated. The authors find that their model shows promise but also requires further evaluation and refinement.

Modern information and communication technology enables new technical solutions to support collaboration in engineering over distance. The application of Web based project platforms and collaboration methods requires new kinds of soft skills, knowledge and experience—a task for education and training in hydroinformatics. This technical note describes a pan-European education experiment, where students from five European universities have solved a given engineering task in distributed teams in the Internet. The collaboration was based on the principle of ‘information sharing’ using a Web based project platform. In this course the students acquired experience in interdisciplinary teamwork, net based project co-ordination and Web based reporting. They strengthened their social competence to collaborate in heterogeneous teams with different habits, nationalities, ages and educational backgrounds. The described experiment might be the basis for introducing Web based collaborative engineering in the regular course programme of water related curricula.

Full textAbstract:
As online education grows in popularity, the literature on such courses has expanded as dramatically. However, discussion of online tools specifically for composition instruction has received far less attention than general course-management systems and online discussion forums. The composition process has changed with the advent of computer processing, yet composition research rarely focuses on the advantages of the digital composition process. That process could change again with recent developments in social systems and networked, cloud-based applications. This article highlights the way online composition platforms can meet the needs of writing courses. New tools can provide new opportunities for student collaboration, teacher involvement, and writing-process research. This article uses Sally J. McMillan’s model of Cyber-Interactivity and Robert R. Johnson’s model of User-Centered Design as frameworks in which to view collaborative writing, arguing that students in online composition courses need collaborative tools that allow a single document to be created by a student, edited by others, and commented on by all. The ill-fated Google Wave platform is evaluated through this perspective. Practical benefits of the platform and implications for writing instruction are included. Collaborative online composition, using systems with features like Google Wave, is presented as essential in modern composition courses.

Full textAbstract:
Workers in crowdsourcing are evolving from one-off, independent micro-workers to on-demand collaborators with a long-term orientation. They were expected to collaborate as transient teams to solve more complex, non-trivial tasks. However, collaboration as a team may not be as prevalent as possible, given the lack of support for synchronous collaboration and the "competition, collaboration but transient" nature of crowdsourcing. Aiming at unfolding how individuals collaborate as a transient team and how such teamwork can affect an individual's long-term success, this study investigates the individuals' collaborations on Kaggle, a crowdsourcing contest platform for data analysis. The analysis reveals a growing trend of collaborating as a transient team, which is influenced by contest designs like complexity and reward. However, compared with working independently, the surplus of teamwork in a contest varies over time. Furthermore, the teamwork experience is beneficial for individuals in the short term and long term. Our study distinguishes the team-related intellectual capital and solo-related intellectual capital, and finds a path dependency effect for the individual to work solely or collectively. These findings allow us to contribute insights into the collaborative strategies for crowd workers, contest designers, and platform operators like Kaggle.

Full textAbstract:
This case study of the Japan Platform investigates the participants’ motivations, operational processes, and collective impacts of a collaborative platform for disaster response through in-depth interviews and literature reviews. NGOs, enterprises, and government agencies participated in the Japan Platform to supplement insufficient financial resources or enhance their local and international reputation. Furthermore, the Japan Platform resolved disputes arising from divergent interests by defining member roles and enabled participants in each sector to be fairly represented in the decision-making process. However, the Japan Platform was heavily reliant on government subsidies. Different interests and viewpoints for local or international support between enterprises and NGOs were also significant obstacles to overcome. To respond to disasters effectively as a collaborative platform, the Japan Platform needs to examine the collective impact and establish strategic goals accordingly. Based on the results, this study provides several suggestions for Korea, which has a centralized disaster response system, to respond more effectively to disasters through collaborative platforms with diverse sectors.

Full textAbstract:
This paper highlights the need for using specialised on-line collaborative environments by designers and product engineers who increasingly use Web 2.0 technology to search for information. Although there are professional channels and networks, there is no specific platform which helps during a new product's conceptualisation phase. Open communication must thus be promoted and encouraged amongst design professionals and companies to form working groups thereby allowing them to work collaboratively in the most open and creative phase of product design, i.e. conceptualisation. The OpenDesigNet (ODN) experimental platform has been developed so that designers and small- or medium-sized companies (SMC) can access on-line collaborative tools to support the creation and promotion of new on-line products and assess their immediate social impact. This article presents some of the results obtained during the validation phase involving a platform satisfaction survey of design engineering students and has led to a first-hand assessment of the new platform's potential impact on their professional future.

Full textAbstract:
The collaborative economy platforms have become part of the lives of many citizens; their number is growing day by day and covers many sectors of the market. However, it is a deregulated sector because the existing regulations are very difficult to apply, due to the complexity of contractual relationships in three bands (platform, provider and user), which causes uncertainties about which of the parties involved should be subject to the rules. This paper seeks to clarify the respective relationships and contractual positions of each of the three parties and, especially, of the platforms, in order to determine what their rights, obligations and responsibilities are. First, the contract between provider and user (the underlying contract by which the goods or service are provided) is studied, whose most notable problem derives from being a contract between strangers, based on data that they themselves have published on the platform website. Next, the contractual relationships of the clients (provider and user) with the platforms are studied, distinguishing three types of platforms, according to the function they perform in the contract between the provider and the user (the underlying contract). The conclusion reached is that the legal position of the first type of platforms is very similar, although with nuances, to which the Internet Service Providers (ISPs) have data hosting. The position of those of the second group is similar to that of an agent. Finally, the position of the platforms of the third type is distinctive since it is obliged to provide a service, but uses a third party (auxiliary or subcontractor) to carry it out.

Full textAbstract:
This paper aims to explore two crucial aspects of collaborative work and learning: on the one hand, the importance of enabling collaborative learning applications to capture and structure the information generated by group activity and, on the other hand, to extract the relevant knowledge in order to provide learners and tutors with efficient awareness, feedback and support with regards to group performance and collaboration. To this end, in this paper we first propose a conceptual model for data analysis and management that identifies and classifies the many kinds of indicators that describe collaboration and learning into high-level aspects of collaboration. Then, we provide a computational platform that, at a first step, collects and classifies both the event information generated asynchronously from the users' actions and the labeled dialogues from the synchronous collaboration according to these indicators. This information is then analyzed in next steps to eventually extract and present to participants the relevant knowledge about the collaboration. The ultimate aim of this platform is to efficiently embed information and knowledge into collaborative learning applications. We eventually suggest a generalization of our approach to be used in diverse collaborative learning situations and domains.

The man in pre-historic times, that is, about 50,000 years ago, was in the cave, recording his social interactive urges in various kinds of drawings and paintings on the walls, thinking that his fellow human beings in his times or posterity would happen on them and try to decode them. That was probably the first seed sown of social media to catch on down the line. The man in the ancient cave is now the man on the web for all especially education. Media students who were selected for the study have recorded their responses towards concurrent social media learning dimensions: Interactivity, Informativeness, Effectiveness, and Stress. These factors help in assessing media students’ perception regarding social media learning.[1] In the ever-evolving landscape of social media, NexLink emerges as a groundbreaking platform that draws inspiration from the most influential giants in the industry—Twitter, LinkedIn.

Full textAbstract:
E-learning platforms have never been as in-demand as they are now since the recent pandemic making privacy education more important than ever. However, for the most part, these platforms are single-user learning environments and lack student-student interactions. To overcome this deficiency, we propose a collaborative e-learning platform for privacy education that matches students in a stable and automatic manner according to students’ preferences. Each student is represented by a vector profile that is created from behavioural skills and academic knowledge obtained from the platform. Once the preferences are determined, the residents-hospitals matching algorithm is applied to select students who will collaborate with one another. Experimental results show that the proposed model offers an effective way to create stable, thus satisfied, coalitions of students from two groups of arbitrary sizes. In addition, the automation allows students to skip the tedious process of manually selecting partners. Therefore, saving their time to collaborate on privacy education with their teammates helping them to increase their privacy awareness.

Full textAbstract:
This paper proposes an engineering analysis environment that allows remote users to conduct three-dimensional finite element analysis collaboratively through the Internet. Java and Java 3D were chosen to develop the working prototype due to their advantages of platform-independence and network supporting. The environment allows remote users to work collaboratively on the same analysis object simultaneously. It reads the geometric data generated by the collaborative geometric modeling environment. The user can interact directly with the geometric model to perform operations, such as applying, editing, and deleting boundary conditions and forces. The operations are propagated among the team members, which creates a distributed shared environment. The commands are transmitted instead of the generated data, and thus the network traffic associated with the collaboration is minimized. Different from classical server/client models,# the environment adopts a strategy in which the client-side application has full analysis capabilities while the server only manages communication. The essential features for distributed collaboration are discussed. The actual design consideration of the working prototype is presented to help illustrate the complexity and development of the collaborative environment.

The COVID-19 crisis has facilitated teleworking and it has triggered a surge of cloud-based team collaborative platforms supporting teleworking. The team collaborative platforms save every kind of working data from users such as meeting contents, in-company shared information and business commands to cloud computing server.
Even though there has been lots of prior studies on the search and seize the data saved in the cloud computing service, cloud-based team collaborative platforms haven’t been focused enough. The team collaborative platforms apply a high level of encryption technology to store customer’s data so that occasionally it cannot be reached without using the platform specific technology. That sort of data is not only saved in the cloud storage, but also be realized based on the cloud computing service.
Therefore, this paper tried to develop the prior studies by presenting possible issues and opinions on the process of search and seize for the team collaborative platforms considering their technical characteristics.

Abstract: In March 2020, many institutions and companies abruptly closed their premises in response to the spread of COVID19, preventing them from hosting any in-person activities which promoted the sense of working in groups and collaborating with peers. As a result, many students missed out on ways in which they can connect with those around them. Restrictions on inperson interactions between students, staff, and faculty are likely to persist in the future as well resulting in the lack of sense of collaborative working. Student Faculty Portal concentrates on effective connection building between people in colleges and universities by providing them a platform to collaborate based on their skills, interests, knowledge, and expertise.

A concept map is deemed a useful teaching and learning tool. It offers many potential advantages over just representing the students’ knowledge and understanding during learning, and have been widely used to support learning. Kit-Build concept map is one learning framework that incorporate digital concept map for its learning activities. Learning with Kit-Build concept map has been found to have better learning effects towards students' understanding and knowledge retention. Incorporating Kit-Build concept map into collaborative learning have been reported to have better outcome than the traditional collaborative learning. However, collaborative learning with Kit-Build concept map cannot be accomodated with the current Kit-Build system where learning activity is conducted online. This study presents the design and development of online collaborative learning platform of Kit-Build Concept Map. A prototype of the collaboration system to support collaborative learning with Kit-Build concept map is developed and be evaluated to portray its potential usability for further development and practical use. The result suggested that incorporating Socket.IO as a real-time communication middleware is effective to deliver online collaborative learning features into the Kit-Build system. Preliminary evaluation to the system also suggested that the system has the potential for actual use in supporting distant collaborative learning with Kit-Build concept map.

Crowdfunding Platform (CFP) is another financing model that is different from the traditional financial institutions. CFP serves not only as a fundraising tool but also as a source of knowledge. CFP has several forms, namely equity-based, lending-based, reward-based, and donation-based. These forms of CFP divided into two classes, investment-based and non-investment-based. CFP is one form of platform Open Innovation (OI), where multiple stakeholders are involved in a funded project. OI refers to the collaborative innovation process. The involvement of multiple parties in OI leads to various risks that can result in collaboration failure, thus preventing the achievement of established CFP goals. Therefore, there is a need for effective governance in OI to manage potential conflicts, coordinate efficient knowledge sharing among the involved parties, and achieve the main objectives of the collaboration.

Full textAbstract:
Clinical Reasoning (CR) is a complex skill that must be learned by students during their training. However, it is difficult to learn and it is not immediately apparent how training should be organized to develop and improve students' clinical reasoning behavior. The use of Web 2.0 technologies in e-learning and e-health provides opportunities to consider effective teaching and learning methods, with an emphasis on collaboration. The importance of collaboration in medical education and practice is growing, and by working together professionals can build a better future. When a shared information need becomes a collaborative site, it is called Collaborative Information Behavior (CIB). To date, there is no system that fully supports CIB in clinical reasoning learning. This paper focuses on studies conducted in the field of CIB. In addition, research related to the clinical reasoning learning in medical pedagogy is also considered. A model dedicated to the design of a collaborative clinical reasoning behavioral environment in synchronous mode is proposed. The proposed model was concretized by a collaborative environment supporting behavioral competencies in collaborative clinical reasoning based on Web 2.0 technologies (MEDcollab), which aims to make student learning visible and accessible to educators.

Developing communication skills in collaborative contexts is of special interest for educational institutions, since these skills are crucial to forming competent professionals for today’s world. New and accessible technologies open a way to analyze collaborative activities in face-to-face and non-face-to-face situations, where collaboration and student attitudes are difficult to measure using traditional methods. In this context, Multimodal Learning Analytics (MMLA) appear as an alternative to complement the evaluation and feedback of core skills. We present a MMLA platform to support collaboration assessment based on the capture and classification of non-verbal communication interactions. The developed platform integrates hardware and software, including machine learning techniques, to detect spoken interactions and body postures from video and audio recordings. The captured data is presented in a set of visualizations, designed to help teachers to obtain insights about the collaboration of a team. We performed a case study to explore if the visualizations were useful to represent different behavioral indicators of collaboration in different teamwork situations: a collaborative situation and a competitive situation. We discussed the results of the case study in a focus group with three teachers, to get insights in the usefulness of our proposal. The results show that the measurements and visualizations are helpful to understand differences in collaboration, confirming the feasibility the MMLA approach for assessing and providing collaboration insights based on non-verbal communication.

This paper introduces an alternative teaching model in a virtual architectural design studio, its application, impacts and constraints. This model aims for achieving collaborative learning through facilitating students to Inhabit, Design, Construct and Evaluate (IDCE) their designs collaboratively in a multi-user real-time 3D virtual environment platform (Activeworlds). The application of this model in virtual design studio (VDS) teaching has favorably impacted students' motivation for active, creative and explorative learning, social dynamics between studio participants. It also fostered learning electronic communication, collaboration techniques and etiquette in addition to design technology. The model assisted in developing collaborative experience and shared responsibility. However, there are some drawbacks of the virtual environment platform that hindered having a responsive design environment to users' needs with especially in modeling and rate of viewing. The advantages and constraints of applying the IDCE teaching model in a multi-user real-time 3D virtual environment for first year students at the University of Sydney are addressed in this paper.
