Educational Institution's Image: A Case StudyThis article presents our findings about the factors influencing educational institution's image. Based on the literature review we composed a web questionnaire which was send to all current students at University of Maribor's Faculty of Organizational Studies. Based on our research results we found out that eight factors influence educational institution's image which have various amounts of influence on the educational institutions image. The factor with the most influence is the quality of professors and of their lectures and the second most important factor is the learning content. These two factors come before all of the others in the matter of influencing the educational institutions image. Our basic recommendation is to build on these factors starting with the most important ones first.
SIMS is an environment which greatly reduces the burden of planning and performing tasks involving nmltiple diverse software servers. The user interacts with SIMS in the language natural for the task domain, which is independent of available services. Two main functions of SIMS are task planning and execution. Planning is the main focus of the paper. Planning is supported by the knowledge about domain terminology, models of tasks and of the functionality of servers. Tasks and servers can be modeled in SIMS in different levels of detail. More detailed models enable more efficient search for services relevant for the task. Search is also limited by the hierarchical structure of knowledge.Besides helping users, SIMS gives a methodology for building nmre maintainable systems by providing the language for specifying server functionality and a principled method for modifying the system when services are modified.
While the demand for computer systems that are more and more complex in terms of size and variety of applications is steadily increasing, design support tools and abstraction mechanisms for such systems are lagging badly behind. This places an increased burden on users and software developers alike. We believe that making the knowledge about the user's tasks and about the system's functionality explicit can reduce this burden significantly.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
