A pilot programme into the use of Blackboard to support the teaching of engineering undergraduates (2002)
Presentation / Conference
Laws, E. (2002, August). A pilot programme into the use of Blackboard to support the teaching of engineering undergraduates. Presented at International Conference on Engineering Education (ICEE), UMIST, Manchester, UK

Supporting engineering students throughout their studies places a heavy demand on academic staff time. Increasingly it is necessary to provide help outside the schedule lecture and tutorial periods and to cope with a range of student abilities. An ef...

The usage of third party seals in e-commerce websites : Current implementation (2002)
Presentation / Conference
Kasiran, M., & Meziane, F. (2002, June). The usage of third party seals in e-commerce websites : Current implementation. Presented at 7th International Conference on Work with Computing Systems (WWCS2004), Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

eCommerce is a faceless business arrangement where the process of creating trust towards merchants is still a big challenge. One of the methods that can be used to facilitate the creation of trust is through transference of trust from merchant to thi...

The underlying theory of project management is obsolete (2002)
Presentation / Conference
Koskela, L., & Howell, G. (2002, June). The underlying theory of project management is obsolete. Presented at The PMI Research Conference, Seattle, Washington

In prior literature, it has been generally seen that there is no explicit theory of project management. We contend that it is possible to precisely point out the underlying theoretical foundation of project management as espoused in the PMBOK Guide b...

Low frequency room excitation using distributed mode loudspeakers (2002)
Presentation / Conference
Fazenda, B., Avis, M., & Davies, W. (2002, June). Low frequency room excitation using distributed mode loudspeakers. Presented at 21st Audio Engineering Society Convention, Saint Petersburg, Russia

Conventional pistonic loudspeakers excite the modes of an enclosed sound field in such a way as to introduce modal artefacts which may be problematic for listeners to high-quality reproduced sound [1]. Their amelioration may involve the use of high... Read More about Low frequency room excitation using distributed mode loudspeakers.
