This book presents a new diagnostic information methodology to assess the quality of conversational telephone speech. For this, a conversation is separated into three individual conversational phases (listening, speaking, and interaction), and for each phase corresponding perceptual dimensions are identified. A new analytic test method allows gathering dimension ratings from non-expert test subjects in a direct way. The identification of the perceptual dimensions and the new test method are validated in two sophisticated conversational experiments. The dimension scores gathered with the new test method are used to determine the quality of each conversational phase, and the qualities of the three phases, in turn, are combined for overall conversational quality modeling. The conducted fundamental research forms the basis for the development of a preliminary new instrumental diagnostic conversational quality model. This multidimensional analysis of conversational telephone speech is a major landmark towards deeply analyzing conversational speech quality for diagnosis and optimization of telecommunication systems. .

Although video is now ubiquitous in education, its full potential is oftentimes not fully understood, nor is it used to utmost potential. This timely volume seeks to address this gap by providing educators and instructional designers with a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of video production processes and methods for designing effective instructional videos. From its discussion of the significance of digital learning and impact of instructional video to its unique focus on the best design and production techniques that make video an effective teaching tool, this book offers applicable and tested strategies for creating quality instructional video. The accompanying website, which allows readers to see sample videos and access additional online resources, underscores the book’s practitioner focus. Among the topics covered: · Instructional videos for teaching and learning · Design and interactivity of instructional videos · Production, distribution, and integration of instructional videos · The future of instructional video Video in the Age of Digital Learning is an important, practical contribution to the scholarship exploring methods for sharing and acquiring knowledge in the digital age. It promises to be a valuable resource for educators, instructional designers, instructional media producers, and educational technology professionals.

In 2000 introduceerde de Vlaamse overheid het project Integrale jeugdhulpverlening als antwoord op een aantal steeds opnieuw vastgestelde knelpunten in de jeugdzorg. De jeugdzorg van tegenwoordig zet dit ambitieuze plan en haar uitwerking een spiegel voor, maar gaat nog een stapje verder. Het boek besteedt immers uitgebreid aandacht aan de verhalen van de mensen in de praktijk die het beleid moeten uitvoeren. Daardoor biedt het een genuanceerde en brede kijk op de huidige debatten, hangijzers, achtergronden en suggesties voor oplossingen in de Vlaamse jeugdzorg. Het onderzoek in dit boek is één van de eersten in het Nederlandstalige gebied dat vertrekt vanuit een vernieuwende visie op wetenschap (sociaal constructionisme) en deze visie ook consequent toepast, van wetenschapsfilosofische uitgangspunten tot en met uitgewerkte methodologie. Door zijn unieke invalshoek is De Jeugdzorg van tegenwoordig een niet te missen stand van zaken voor de jeugdhulpverlener en een boeiende ontdekkingsreis doorheen een alternatieve aanpak voor het sociaal-wetenschappelijk onderzoek
