The workbook guides the student through the analysis and much of the e

Fuse Piece
In Fuse Piece (Calgary) Haegele uses Visco (a fireworks wick) to create a site-specific video around the area of Truck Gallery. This fuse burns across various sidewalks and background scenes of downtown Calgary, but never reaches its destination, provoking a feeling of anticipation that is ultimately unfulfilled.

LOM et l'indexation de ressources scientifiques Vers de bonnes pratiques pour l'Université en Ligne
Depuis maintenant plus d'un an, nous disposons au sein de C@mpuSciences d'un éditeur de métadonnées qui implante ManUeL, le profil d'application du LOM (Learning Object Metadata) que nous avons défini pour notre contexte de travail. A travers l'indexation de plusieurs modules de l'Université en Ligne (UeL) dans des contextes différents et l'étude internationale à laquelle nous avons participé, nous cherchons à savoir si, dans l'optique d'interopérabilité recherchée, il existe une co

Science, Statistics, Certainty from the course History of Information
This course explores the history of information and associated technologies, uncovering why we think of ours as 'the information age.' We will select moments in the evolution of production, recording, and storage from the earliest writing systems to the world of Short Message Service (SMS) and blogs. In every instance, we'll be concerned with both what and when and how and why, and we will keep returning to the question of technological determinism: how do technological developments affect socie

Effet d'un dispositif de communication médiatisée synchrone dans une tâche de résolution de prob
Cette étude examine l'incidence d'un dispositif de communication médiatisée synchrone (messagerie instantanée) sur les interactions d'enfants de CM1 dans une tâche de co-résolution d'un problème. Les enfants réalisent une tâche de sélection de phrases importantes d'un récit d'abord individuellement puis avec un camarade de classe. Certains enfants collaborent dans une situation de face à face (7 dyades) et d'autres utilisent un dispositif de communication médiatisée synchrone (8 dy

Des outils informatiques au service du passage à l'écrit d'apprenants
L'analyse textuelle et le Traitement Automatique des Langues peuvent tirer parti de nouvelles techniques d'apprentissage symbolique et de fouille de données. De nombreux travaux sur les analyseurs robustes (« Robust parsing ») en attestent. Réalisé au LIP 6, par Jean-Gabriel Ganascia, le Littératron extrait automatiquement des motifs syntaxiques récurrents dans un texte ; associé à un analyseur de textes en arbres, il révèle les singularités stylistiques d'un auteur ou d'un genre.

L’utilisation d’un arbre des tâches pour concevoir et analyser des situations d’apprentissage :
Afin de prendre en compte les difficultés que les élèves ont pour donner du sens aux activités expérimentales, ce qui leur fait perdre de vue l’objectif initial du T.P. et les connaissances visées, nous proposons de leur faire concevoir le protocole des expériences. À travers trois exemples de situations de T.P. mises au point et expérimentées dans des classes de Terminale S, nous montrons comment la structuration du protocole expérimental dans un arbre de tâche, permet d'analyser e

Language-independent conceptual "bugs" in novice programming
This article argues for the existence of persistent conceptual "bugs" in how novices program and understand programs. These bugs are not specific to a given programming language, but appear to be language-independent. Furthermore, such bugs occur for novices from primary school to college age. Three different classes of bugs-parallelism, intentionality, and egocentrism - are identified, and exemplified through student errors. It is suggested that these classes of conceptual bugs are rooted in a

Human and Artificial Agent's Conversations on the GRID
This position paper supports a conversational and social view of future e-Learning activities on the GRID. This evolution of the Web seems to be nicely synergic with current developments in Agents and Agent Communication Languages. Exactly what e-Learning needs in order to go over from a multimedia-based, passive or at best retroactive view of e-Learning resources to a proactive, peer-to-peer approach of social conversations among human and (progressively) artificial autonomous Agents.
