Het lectoraat eLearning doet onderzoek naar eLearning en Blended Learning, waarbij de verbindende schakel tussen alle onderzoeken Learning and Teaching with ICT is. Het onderzoek levert kennis op over de effectiviteit van ICT in specifieke contexten, waarbij wordt gekeken naar de veranderende rol van de docent die daarvan het gevolg zijn en naar de perceptie van de leeromgeving door de student. Binnen het onderwijs van INHOLLAND is ruim aandacht voor het inzetten van Blended Learning als leidend principe voor de onderwijsuitvoering, zoals ook blijkt uit het hernieuwde onderwijsconcept, zoals geformuleerd in Backbone 2.0.

Er blijft behoefte bestaan aan de kernfunctie van corporaties, om sociale huurwoningenbeschikbaar te stellen tegen betaalbare huren voor mensen met lagere inkomens. Tegelijkertijd staan corporaties voor het eerst sinds de brutering onder zware financiële druk. Aan de financiële druk liggen veel factoren ten grondslag die corporaties slecht kunnen beïnvloeden, zoals de economie en het beleid van de landelijke overheid. Afgezien van de beslissing om wel of niet te investeren is er echter een belangrijke factor die wel beïnvloedbaar is door de corporatie zelf, namelijk de bedrijfskosten. Er zijn aanwijzingen dat de bedrijfskosten substantieel omlaag kunnen, door de organisatie doelmatig in te richten, het takenpakket te reduceren, in het onderhoud strakker op een basiskwaliteit te sturen en commerciële partijen in te schakelen bij het uitvoeren van activiteiten. Deze notitie beschrijft een bedrijfsmodel van een corporatie die zich richt op het investeren in en beheren van betaalbare huurwoningen, met structureel en substantieel lagere bedrijfskosten. Corporaties zijn in hun huidige vorm betrokken bij alle werkzaamheden binnen de hele bedrijfskolom van woningontwikkeling tot het beheer van woningen. Daarnaast vervullen zij in één organisatie de rollen van belegger, ontwikkelaar en beheerder. De combinatie van de rol van èn belegger, èn ontwikkelaar èn beheerder is uniek en kan voordelen hebben in een situatie waarin ze een brede rol bij de (her)ontwikkeling van wijken en woningen willen en kunnen vervullen, maar nadelen hebben als het gaat om het optimaliseren van het doelmatig uitvoeren van hun kerntaken. In het voorliggende model wordt kostenoptimalisatie bij het uitvoeren van de kerntaak als doel gesteld. Hiertoe worden bezit, financiering en beleid juridisch en functioneel gescheiden van de uitvoerende werkzaamheden. De vermogensverschaffings- en beleggingsfunctie worden ondergebracht in een zogenaamde regiecorporatie. Door de uitvoerende werkzaamheden in concurrentie aan te besteden is het mogelijk, met behoud van basiskwaliteit, klantgerichtheidIV en zorgvuldigheid, de bedrijfskosten per woning structureel te verlagen.

In dit artikel worden de mogelijke gevolgen belicht van de introductie van nieuwe en bestaande toepassingen van Bitcoin-technologie. De transnationale, decentrale en gedistribueerde peer-to-peer-structuur van de Bitcoin-technologie en van nieuwe toepassingen hiervan, hebben de potentie om bestaande sociale relaties en instituties te ontregelen. Het krachtenveld waarin maatschappelijke actoren staan kan hierdoor uit balans worden gebracht. De meest radicale van deze nieuwe technologieën is Ethereum. Met name het concept van de Digital Autonomous Organisation (DOA) heeft mogelijkerwijs verregaande consequenties. Ethereum is een ‘contract validating and enforcing system’, een gedistribueerd systeem dat een platform biedt voor autonome computerprogramma’s die in staat zijn om zelfstandig overeenkomsten met rechtspersonen en andere DOA’s aan te gaan en te ontbinden. Ik richt mij op de mogelijkheden van deze toepassingen als nieuwe platformen voor International Financial (Cyber) Crime.

Nursing Leadership is an important competence to develop in order to provide quality of care and prevent attrition of nurses. This research program looked into the perceptions and experiences of nurses on practising leadership. Next to that supporting the development of nursing leadership was addressed. The program has a mixed-method, action research design in which 75 in-depth interviews and 24 focus group interviews and quantitative data of 435 nurses form the backbone. According to hospital nurses, nursing leadership is related to proactiveness and voicing expertise in order to deliver good nursing care. Nevertheless, they do not feel fully competent and knowledge deficits were detected on aspects of the bachelor nursing profile, such as evidence based practice. Working-culture factors can either inhibit or encourage nursing leadership. The further awareness of unconsciously using expertise and knowledge deficits as well as team development towards a continuous safe learning environment are necessary steps for the enhancement of nursing leadership. A Nursing Leadership model was developed in which generic personal leadership competencies combined with expertise of the nurses' level of education and degrees form the essence of shared leadership in teams focussed on the realisation of good nursing care.

Paper presented at the International Sustainability Transitions conference 2018 (12-14 june) Manchester, UK. The Dutch agrifood regime is grinding to a halt. International economic pressures force Dutch farmers to further scale up and intensify their businesses, while food scandals and calamities as well as many and varied negative environmental impacts have led to an all-time low societal acceptance of the agrifood regime as well as a host of legislative measures to stifle further growth. Such a situation, in which regime pressures increasingly undermine the regime, represents a strong call for transition of the Dutch agrifood system.At the same time, new business models emerge: new players arrive, new logistical pathways come to the fore and innovative consumer and farmer relationships – food co-operatives – are forged. In a sense, the transition is already under way (cf. Hermans et al., 2010), with new business models forming an important backbone. However, the way forward is still a matter of great uncertainty and controversy: How do new business models relate to reconfiguring the Dutch agrifood system? We explore the hypothesis that different transition pathways put specific demands on the role of new business models. We studied various new business models in the Dutch agrifood system and their relations to three different transition pathways. Our research combines future exploration (backcasting) and analysis of new business models. In this research, we approach this question from two angles. First, we introduce a transition-oriented business model concept, in order to effectively link new business models to transition. Then we shortly touch upon the transition pathway typology introduced by Geels et al. (2016) and describe three different transition pathways for the Dutch agrifood system. We report on XX business models in each of these transition pathways. The paper ends with a discussion of the role of business models for different types of transition pathways.

This study presents an automated method for detecting and measuring the apex head thickness of tomato plants, a critical phenotypic trait associated with plant health, fruit development, and yield forecasting. Due to the apex's sensitivity to physical contact, non-invasive monitoring is essential. This paper addresses the demand for automated, contactless systems among Dutch growers. Our approach integrates deep learning models (YOLO and Faster RCNN) with RGB-D camera imaging to enable accurate, scalable, and non-invasive measurement in greenhouse environments. A dataset of 600 RGB-D images captured in a controlled greenhouse, was fully preprocessed, annotated, and augmented for optimal training. Experimental results show that YOLOv8n achieved superior performance with a precision of 91.2 %, recall of 86.7 %, and an Intersection over Union (IoU) score of 89.4 %. Other models, such as YOLOv9t, YOLOv10n, YOLOv11n, and Faster RCNN, demonstrated lower precision scores of 83.6 %, 74.6 %, 75.4 %, and 78 %, respectively. Their IoU scores were also lower, indicating less reliable detection. This research establishes a robust, real-time method for precision agriculture through automated apex head thickness measurement.

Business Rule Management (BRM) is a means to make decision-making within organizations explicit and manageable. BRM functions within the context of an Enterprise Architecture (EA). The aim of EA is to enable the organization to achieve its strategic goals. Ideally, BRM and EA should be well aligned. This paper explores through study of case study documentation the BRM design choices that relate to EA and hence might influence the organizations ability to achieve a digital business strategy. We translate this exploration into five propositions relating BRM design choices to EA characteristics.

Many studies report changes taking place in the field of higher education, changes which present considerable challenges to educational practice. Educational science should contribute to developing design guidance, enabling practitioners to respond to these challenges. Design patterns, as a form of design guidance, show potential since they promise to facilitate the design process and provide common ground for communication. However, the potential of patterns has not been fully exploited yet. We have proposed the introduction of a task conceptualization as an abstract view of the concept chosen as central: the task. The choice of the constituting elements of the task conceptualization has established an analytical perspective for analysis and (re)design of (e)learning environments. One of the constituting elements is that of ‘boundary objects’, which has added a focus on objects facilitating the coordination, alignment and integration of collaborative activities. The presented task conceptualization is deliberately generic in nature, to ease the portability between schools of thought and make it suitable for a wide target audience. The conceptualization and the accompanying graphical and textual representations have shown much promise in supporting the process of analysis and (re)design and add innovative insights to the domain of facilitating the creation of design patterns.
