T1  - Facilitating portfolio-driven learning in a personal learning environment
T2  - 3rd Workshop on Technology-Enhanced Formative Assessment, TEFA 2016; CEUR Workshop Proceedings
N2  - In universities, diverse tools and software systems exist that each facilitates a different teaching and learning scenario. A deviating approach is taken by Personal Learning Environments (PLE) that aim to provide a common platform. Considering e-portfolios as an integral part of PLEs, especially portfolio-based learning and assessment have to be supported. Therefore, the concept of a PLE is developed further by enabling the products of different software systems to be integrated in portfolio pages and finally submitted for feedback and assessment. It is further elaborated how the PLE approach is used to support the continuous formative assessment within portfolio-based learning scenarios.

T1  - Accountability, performance and legitimacy in the welfare state
BT  - If accountability is the answer, what was the question?
T2  - The Routledge Handbook to Accountability and Welfare State Reforms in Europe
N2  - Accountability is one of the most widely discussed concepts of public administration research and teaching in the last decade. But why is this case? Obviously accountability is, like its counterpart transparency, a “magic concept”, and an indispensable part of the prominent and omnipresent discourse on “good governance” as well as a significant element in debates about public sector reform. The same holds true for performance, which has been a magic and contested concept ever since New Public Management (NPM) entered the discourse about “modern” processes and structures of the public sector. But the third term in the title of this paper, legitimacy, even though it is one of the basic concepts of political science and democracy and is at the heart of Max Weber's theory of bureaucracy, has been surprisingly absent from current debates about the challenges of modern public administration, and for that sake also about the future of the welfare state. This chapter argues that different concepts of legitimacy lie at the heart of most debates about accountability and performance (input, output and throughput legitimacy), and that a better understanding of the relationships between accountability, performance and legitimacy can clarify some of the puzzles of contemporary research.

T1  - Degérando’s three prize essays and the shift in linguistic thought at the turn of the 19th century
T2  - History of Linguistics 2014 : selected papers from the 13th International Conference on the History of the Language Sciences (ICHoLS XIII), Vila Real, Portugal, 25–29 August 2014 (Studies in the History of the Language Sciences ; 126)
N2  - Degérando started out from the views of the French ideologists on the relationship of language and thought, but increasingly distanced himself from them. This is already evident based on the choice of reference authors and also on the increasing emphasis on empirical research. His prize essays reflect the fundamental changes in linguistic thought during the late 18th century. He was successful in the competition of the Institut National (1797/1799) and with another essay at the Berlin Academy (1802). His main argument against Condillac and the ideologists is that empirical knowledge does not depend on signs. Therefore, the development of better languages will not improve this kind of human knowledge.
