This report presents an analysis of the potential support to Self-Regulated Learning granted by a CSCL environment set up for a teacher traing course on Educational Technology. The analysis is made by applying a check-list developed within the European project TELEPEERS.,Research report
Assessing Students' Performance in
Distance Education Courses
ARCADE is a project aimed to develop an integrated software platform for authoring and
delivery of Internet-based distance courses covering the university needs. Unified Modeling Language (UML)
and Unified Software Development Process were applied as a basis for the project development. The
Assessments and Assignments package provides computer supported instructional feedback (tests, projects,
essays, problems). The IMS Question and Test Interoperability specification (QTI) defines the basic

The Kaleidoscope Scientific Vision for Research in Technology Enhanced Learning
The objective for this document is to develop a reference text for the Network's scientific development, and for communication to others of the shared perspective of its participants. For its internal focus, it will lead to a stronger integration of the disciplines and cultures represented by the scientific communities within the Network. For its external focus it will contribute to promoting and clarifying the understanding of technology enhanced learning (TEL) in the European Research Area.

Futurelab: Games and learning
There's an increasing interest in the potential role of computer and video games to support young people's learning. Although most research has focused on out-of-school contexts, recent studies have begun to ask how games might be used or adapted for use in schools. This new handbook reports on some of the latest developments in the design of bespoke educational games, and asks whether and how schooling should be adapted to accommodate the use of games.,Research report
Role of Assistance in Computer-mediated Communication in Higher Education
This paper reports preliminary findings of a small scale study that address the role of
assistance in computer-mediated communication (CMC) in Higher Education. In
particular, this study investigates whether the type of assistance in such environments
is affected by the type of task used to initiate the CMC, and to see whether the
instructors and students offer more or less assistance according to task type. We
examine courses which use CMC in the adjunct mode i.e. students used CMC as an
option

4.5.2 Commercial copolymers The main reason for copolymerizing different monomers is to adjust the physical properties of a given homopolymer to meet a specific demand. SBR elastomer, for example (Table 1), based on 24 wt% styrene monomer shows better mechanical properties and better resistance to degradation than polybutadiene alone. By increasing the styrene content to 35 per cent, a high hysteresis (energy absorbing) material ideal for tyre tread

Computer - Tool vs. Medium
We have arrived an important juncture in the history of computing in our profession: This history is long
enough to reveal clear trends in the use of computing, but not long to institutionalize them. As computers

and site supervision - can ?virtual practice? be far behind? In the old days, there were basically two ways

This paper discusses the creative imagination by the speech?s presence on the contemporary projects of art/design. Nowadays the digital era has shattered limits of the space and the user?s perception in a mix between images and texts, built by numeric language, witnessing possible new ways of writing as image. Considering on the duality between verbal and visual, some post-modern artists/projectors are redeeming the germinal quality of image from the alphabet. They use video and electronic tec
A Virtual Reconstruction: Isthmia Roman Bath
The Isthmia Roman Bath is located in Greece overlooking a great ravine on the Isthmus of Corinth. It was in use during the 2nd through the 4th centuries. I have created a 3D VRML walkthrough of the ancient bath. This interdisciplinary project utilizes the research of an archaeologist, architect, and art historian. Because the researchers live in different locations, it made sense to use the Internet as a research tool. When clicking on the numbers on the home page, you can see the process that I
Synthetic Research
Synthetic Research insinuates a relationship of a meticulous process of discovering truth contradicted against a fabricated, as in concocted, reality. It is important to recognize the logical aspect of synthetic when examining what synthetic research can provide for architectural discourse. Synthesis contrasts with analysis in that it?s primary methods involve recourse to experience; it is experience that is at the heart of synthetic research. The synthesis of theory, architectural constructi
Data structures and DBMS for computer-aided design systems
The structures for the storage of data in CAD systems influence to a large extent the effectiveness of the system. This paper reviews the wide range of data structures and database management systems (DBMS) available for structuring CAD data. Examples of basic data types are drawn from the MODULA-2 language. The relationship between these basic data types, their composite structures and the classical data models (on which many DBMS are based) is discussed, and the limitations of existing DBMS in
On the Conceptual Feasibility of a CAAD-CAAI Integrated Decision Support System: A Computer Aided En
This document addresses two questions: What are the ultimate means of design support we can offer to the architect, and how can we devise them? We are not the first ones to address these questions, neither the first ones to point our finger in the direction of Decision Support Systems for such purposes. Nevertheless, we may be among those scholars that understanding 'Decision Support" in terms of "Learning Support", are willing to explore the implications that such an understanding assumes for t
Space Syntax and the New Transportation System in the Santa Catarina Island
The paper reports an on-going research that aims at describing and analysing some of the syntactic characteristics of the urban space of Santa Catarina Island, in an attempt to evaluate its performance, more specifically its social and spatial integration and segregation. The research has been conducted with the aid of the Aximagic software, still in exam stage and not yet released to the public, a tool being developed by a group of researches of the Rio Grande do Sul Federal University and giv
Ense?anza de la representaci?n manual y digital, para arquitectos y dise?adores [Teaching Hand and D
The supremacy of the digital means of representation and communication and the resulting shift of the manual means in the field of design and architecture, have engendered multiple opinions and literature. They focus and analyze the virtues and risks, the losses and substitutions, and the different expressive, productive and conceptual results of their leading role in the creative process. Furthermore, if we consider both as two extremes, apparently opposed, a broad panorama of combinations and
Parametric modulations in Masonry
The focus of the research presented in this paper asks how a designer can create a flexible system of physical making which can accommodate multiple programmatic functions within a smooth whole, rather than creating an a priori singular formal object. This adaptable system of construction works through the development of an intelligent CAD model that can be mapped to a flexible manufacturing mechanism, i.e. a reconfigurable mold. This system of manufacturing can be used to cast totally unique
