Development and Implementation of an Environmental Management System in UniversitiesGustafsson, Linda, Axelsson, Emma, Miezah Kwofie, Ebenezer January 2010 (has links)
The role of Universities in building a sustainable society is paramount. It is therefore essential for Universities to adopt and apply tools such as EMS in creating a culture of sustainability which is vital in creating awareness for students as they graduate to fulfil the needs of society.The purpose of this thesis was to investigate what was required of a University in handling this challenge; to start up and be successful with implementation of an Environmental Management System.To do this an environmental review has been performed using the University of Borås as a case study. Indirect and direct aspects of the University have been identified and will be evaluated. The result of the review is based on information from interviews, questionnaires and meetings and will serve as the foundation for the University of Borås‟ further work with EMS.By comparing four Swedish Universities and their work with EMS, factors to be considered during the development and implementation an EMS have been found. An in depth-interview of key personal together with published and unpublished data from the four Universities have been used for the study. The drivers which prompted the EMS work as well as factors for a successful implementation were identified. Using a prioritization matrix, management commitment, Approach to the process, training and communication have found to be the most important success factors. Other factors worth considering during implementation of EMS in Universities have been found to be duration of the system, timing of success factors, and handling of barriers specific for academia and keeping a simple system.Using a performance excellence diagram, the different level of commitment to each of the contributing factors for a successful EMS implementation has been established and used in performing a gap- analysis for University of Borås. Based on the outcome of the gap-analysis, appropriate recommendations for EMS work have been given.

Klassrums Respons System : En förbättring för lärplattformen Canvas? en studie av förbättringsförslag för mobila lärplattformen Canvas / Classroom Response System : An improvement for the Canvas learning platform? a study of improvement proposals for the mobile learning platform CanvasPersson, Tim, Hussain, Ali January 2023 (has links)
Användningen av mobiltelefoner har ökat avsevärt och blivit alltmer vanlig i dagens samhälle. Teknikens framsteg har påverkat människors beteenden och vanor. Med den nuvarande tekniken finns det en ökning av användningsområden för mobiltelefoner, vilket leder till en ökning av mobilanvändare. Trots detta har utvecklingen av mobilvänlig design inte skett i samma takt som tekniken har fortskridit. Detta har skapat ett stort behov av att anpassa webbsidor för mobilanvändning. Syftet med denna studie är att belysa användningen av den mobila lärplattformen Canvas. Genom att utgå från rekommendationer för förbättringar av den mobila lärplattformen undersöker studien studenters och instruktörers uppfattningar om Canvas samt deras syn på föreslagna mobilvänliga förbättringar av plattformen. Det bör noteras att studien inte inkluderade rekommendationer för storskaliga förbättringar, eftersom fokus var på användningen av Canvas vid Högskolan i Borås. Dessutom begränsades respondenternas erfarenheter av den befintliga lärplattformen till Högskolan i Borås. För att vidare undersöka ämnet genomförde respondenterna formativa bedömningar med hjälp av ett system som kallas Formative, vilket möjliggjorde förbättringsförslag. Detta system presenterades under fem föreläsningar vid Högskolan i Borås. Efter föreläsningarna genomfördes en enkätundersökning bland samtliga deltagande studenter. underlätta inlärningsprocessen på den mobila lärplattformen Canvas. / In today's society, the use of mobile phones has increased dramatically and become increasingly common. Technological advancements have transformed people's habits. With the current technology, there are more and more applications for mobile phones, leading to a rise in mobile users. However, the development of mobile-friendly design has not kept pace with technological advancements. This has resulted in a significant need to adapt websites for mobile usage. This study aims to shed light on the mobile usage of the Canvas learning platform. Based on recommendations for improving the mobile learning platform Canvas, this study examines how students and instructors perceive Canvas and their opinions on proposed mobile-friendly enhancements to the platform. However, this study does not address recommendations for larger-scale improvements as the main focus is on the usage of the platform at the University of Borås. Additionally, the respondents experiences with the existing Canvas platform at the University of Borås were defined. To further the research, respondents were asked to provide formative assessments using a system called Formative, which facilitates improvement suggestions. This was presented in four lectures at the University of Borås. Subsequently, a survey was conducted among all participating students and lecturers.
