The human side of e-learning: Real people subjective experiences in virtual classrooms
This paper is based on a study of the subjective aspects of the student/e-learning platform tutor relationship. To find out how people feel in the role of ‘e-students’ or ‘e-tutors’, we have analyzed a set of testimonies collected through fifty five interviews. The interviewees were invited to speak and write about what they feel as e-learning subjects. Through their discourse, we could identify what kind of virtual-human relationships they have developed in this kind of environment. As well
The relation between prior knowledge and students' collaborative discovery learning processes
In this study we investigate how prior knowledge influences knowledge development during collaborative discovery learning. Fifteen dyads of students (pre-university education, 15-16 years old) worked on a discovery learning task in the physics field of kinematics. The (face-to-face) communication between students was recorded and the interaction with the environment was logged. Based on students' individual judgments of the truth-value and testability of a series of domain-specific propositions,
Une aide à l'interprétation de traces : application à l'amélioration de scénarios pédagogiqu
Nous nous intéressons dans cet article à l'observation au sein d'un EIAH. Notre objectif est de comprendre le comportement des apprenants et, à plus long terme, d'améliorer les scénarios pédagogiques. Dans un premier temps, nous montrons comment récupérer des observations depuis différentes sources. Dans un second temps, nous proposons une méthode permettant de composer une trace à partir de ces observations. Cette trace reflète l'activité de l'apprenant et servira de base à l'inte
Structuring and merging Distributed Content
A flexible approach for structuring and merging distributed learning object is presented. At the basis of this approach there is a formal representation of a learning object, called attribute structure.
Attribute structures are labeled directed graphs representing structured information on the learning objects. When two or more learning objects are merged, the corresponding attribute structures are unified, and the unified structure is attached to the resulting learning object.

Table ronde - le Cinéma iranien aujourd'hui
Le cinéma entre parfois en résonance avec l'Histoire en train de se faire, des films rencontrent un moment politique ou le provoquent. Le cinéma iranien des dix dernières années se révèle comme un écho puissant des déchirures et des évolutions de la société iranienne. Depuis un an, la contestation prouve que le pays réel veut faire entendre sa voix et reprendre en mains sa destinée. Des cinéastes tournent...

La tête de l'emploi (Le logiciel)
La série LA PROPRIÉTÉ INTELLECTUELLE EN 5 ACTES a été conçue comme un outil de pédagogie innovante aux fins de développer la culture de la propriété intellectuelle à un moment où la maîtrise de l’économie de l’immatériel et la compréhension des marchés des savoirs imposent au moins une sensibilisation aux différentes formes de cette matière ardue... Il ne s’agit pas ici de remplacer l’exhaustivité d’un ouvrage complet consacré à la question, ni les vertus d’
Histoire et dynamiques de l'environnement : l'exemple des Pyrénées
Afin de retracer les dynamiques environnementales et paysagères des espaces montagnards, le chercheur utilise ici une approche pluridisciplinaire convoquant des sources iconographiques historiques, des techniques de palynologie et d’anthracologie, une approche paysagère.
Cette approche multiple, est ici appliquée au massif pyrénéen afin de retracer les relations entre l’homme et le milieu qu’il a façonné pour les besoins d’une production métallurgique.

2.3 Chain configuration The structure of repeat units is fixed by the chemical bonds between adjacent atoms. The shape or shapes thus created is known as the configuration, and for chains will be the chain configuration. Like children's plastic building blocks, however, there can be many different configurations for a given set of atoms of a particular type. The different structures which have identical chemical formulae are known as isomers, and such isomers can have quite different properties. Isomer
Ralph Fertig: What Matters to Me and Why
Ralph Fertig, a clinical associate professor at the USC School of Social Work, addresses the topic "What Matters to Me and Why" on Nov. 4, 2009.
Fertig has fought for social justice as a federal administrative judge, civil rights lawyer, social worker and sociologist. "The Washington Post" once dubbed him "the conscience of Washington." Still a progressive voice for a just society, he now champions social change through lectures on social welfare policy at the USC School of Social Work, where h

4.3 Making a plan
Learning how to learn: a process we all engage in throughout our lives, but no single method of learning guarantees success. This unit aims to make the process of learning much more explicit by inviting you to apply various ideas and activities to your own study as a way of increasing your awareness of your own learning. Most learning has to be an active process – and this is particularly true of learning how to learn.

2.3 Using grammatical description in context Malinowski's anthropological work illustrates a more dynamic approach to the study of language which is still influential today, particularly in functional approaches to grammar. Many linguists are exploring ways of grounding their description of language in the cultural, geographical, social and economic conditions stressed by Malinowski. These factors are seen as influencing how language is used in context; that is, how variations in what we are doing, who we are communicating with,
