Unravelling country-of-origin: Semiotics as a theoretical basis for a meaning-centred approach towards country-of-origin effects - BRIJS, Kris
Numerous academics and marketers are sceptical about the relevance of research on country-of-origin (coo) effects. This criticism is based on a series of studies suggesting that coo-cues are of no more than marginal importance as determinants of people's attitudes towards foreign-sourced products. More specifically, this criticism is directed towards studies focussing on the relevance of a coo's more general environmental conditions (like for instance its cultural identity, political climate, geography, religion, language, national history, etc.). Additionally, the theoretical status of the coo-field as a whole has frequently been questioned for its lack of solidity and transparency. Our study intends to...

Mobile e-learning course scenario model on PDA - SCHREURS, Jeanne
Web-based services mobile learning can enable collaborative learning and access to different information sources in actual problem-solving situations. The PDAs are now designed to be smaller and sleeker and are popular due to its portability and facility for wireless connection. Handheld computers can become an integral part of the learning activities. But due to the very small screen, limited memory capacity and a large diversity of mobile devices, a handheld seems to obstruct a good learning experience. Handling of learning materials is a challenge. Experimentation with learning path scenarios and based on the e-mindmap concept is set forward here.

SEVAQ: a unique multi-functional tool for assessing and improving the quality of e-courses - SCHREURS, Jeanne; Husson, A.M.; Merison, B.; Morin, E.; Van Heysbroeck, H.
It is challenging to enhance quality of e-learning.
We based the quality assessment on the EFQM and the
Kirkpatrick models. We built our own SEVAQ quality
model on which we based our multi-functional selfevaluation
questionnaire. We focused and limited ourselves
on the valuable learners feedback. Our questionnaire is
structured around the 3 main criteria: the enabling
learning resources, learning processes and the learning
results. Questions are linked with their criteria and
subcriteria.
The SEVAQ tool addresses the designer of the questionnaire
as well as the learner, being the evaluator and so being the
user of the questionnaire. The designer selects on a flexible
way a set of relevant questions to be answered by...

ICT security management - SCHREURS, Jeanne; MOREAU, Rachel
Security becomes more and more important and companies are aware that it has become a management problem. Its critical to know what are the critical resources and processes of the company and their weaknesses. A security audit can be a handy solution. We have developed BEVA, a method to critically analyse the company and to uncover the weak spots in the security system. BEVA results in security scores for each security factor and also in a general security score. The goal is to increase the security score Ss to a postulated level by focusing on the critical security factors, those...

Guidance of the design of the questionnaire by selecting the relevant criteria - SCHREURS, Jeanne
Questioning customers and using their evaluation to improve quality is one of the nine pillars of the EFQM model of excellence. Processing the answers obtained by the results of customers self-evaluation questionnaires enables the provider to enhance the quality of the offered products. In other words, making good use of good self evaluation questionnaires leads to better quality.
Field research showed that a certain amount of providers of VET with ODL, blended or eLearning have used a variety of self-evaluation questionnaires in the past. Some of these questionnaires function well and are adapted to the specific necessities of the institution...

We have developed BEVA, a method to critically analyse the company and to uncover the weak spots in the security system. BEVA results also in a general security score and security scores for each security factor. These will be used in the risk analysis.

A blended learning concept for guided self-instruction - SCHREURS, Jeanne; Al-Zoubi, A.Y.
Learning models are evolving from instructor centred, over learner centred to learning team-centred approach. learning is evolving to guide individual and collaborative self-paced web-based learning. In this paper, a supervised and guided individual self-paced web-based learning concept including collaborative learning in a virtual class is adapted. Blended learning is set forward as the solution. We focus on the requirements of the blended learning concept to be a good solution for this learning model.
