NFC has become an attractive design science research area for many academicians due to its exploding growth. A better understanding of the current status of NFC research is necessary to identify the gap between theory and practice. In this paper, we evaluate NFC literature from a design science point of view and seven important guidelines of the design science research are employed for evaluating some of the NFC related studies which propose innovative artifacts. Design science perspective of NFC literature gives beneficial guidelines for future studies. This rigorous and holistic literature review with the objective of bringing to the state-of-art in NFC design science research provides advancement of knowledge in NFC research and further research directions.Yayın Mixed-method validation of pedagogical concepts for an intercultural online learning environment: a case study(Assoc Computing Machinery, 2007) Law, Effie Lai-Chong; Nguyen-Ngoc, Anh Vu; Kuru, SelahattinThe rise of social software poses the challenges to the design and evaluation of a pedagogically sound online learning environment (OLE). Our OLE addresses these challenges by the integration of three pedagogical concepts - cross-cultural collaboration, self-directed learning and social networking - with the aim to advance participants' competencies and by mixed-method approaches to evaluating the complex situations. A validation trial involving four European countries was conducted. Groups of students co-created a questionnaire, which was assessed to provide an indicator of task performance. Multi-source (surveys, blogs, emails, diaries, chats, videoconference, and interviews) and multi-perspective data (facilitators, students, researchers) were studied with social network analysis, content analysis and conversation analysis. Several a posteriori research questions are addressed.
