Choosing for learning objects: The possible deployment of learning objects with eight educational am
The Dutch six-part series Leerobjecten in de praktijk (Learning objects in practice) is about six divergent and difficult problems that occur frequently in working with learning objects. Based on research into existing practice, guidelines are offered to policy makers, educational technology consultants, teachers, educational designers and developers of digital learning materials who are struggling with these problems in higher education.
Choosing for learning objects discusses eight education
TéléCabri, un environnement pour le préceptorat à distance.
L'objectif du projet TéléCabri est de contribuer à la solution de ces problèmes en apportant des moyens complémentaires de l'action humaine pour assurer la continuité de la scolarité pendant l'hospitalisation des enfants ou adolescents. TéléCabri doit apparaître comme une machine partenaire de l'élève autant que de l'enseignant. En intégrant la téléprésence et des fonctionnalités de coopération dans un environnement informatique pour l'apprentissage humain.
Clustering Students to help Evaluate Learning
In this paper we show how clustering techniques can be applied to
student answers generated from a web-based tutoring tool. In particular we
are interested in extracting clusters of students based on the mistakes
they made using the tool, with the aim of obtaining pedagogically
relevant information and providing this feedback to the teacher. The data we used comes from the Logic-ITA, a web-based tutoring tool to practice formal proofs currently in use in the School of Information Technologies at
e-COMODE Services for the Implementation of Collaborative Modelling Environments in Schools.
e-COMODE is an open digital learning environment, which assists young
students (10-17 year old) in creating models. e-COMODE services aim to offer a
collaborative modelling environment, including pedagogical, technical and
implementation support services. The market validation of the different services has
been performed in different environments, private and state schools, from different
geographical areas; Greece, Spain and North Ireland in the UK, in order to confirm
the business model develo
Organisational patterns for e-learning centres
In this paper we explore the notion of using organisational patterns in educational design for the development of e-learning centres. We are using patterns to discuss some of the key aspects concerning the implementation of an e-learning centre within an institution, with an emphasis on the purposes and pedagogical principles that will help to successfully support such an initiative. The research approach which informed our pattern development work includes use of a qualitative survey of a set o

Hypertext navigation and conflicting goal intentions: Using log files to study distraction and volit
This paper describes a theoretical analysis and experimental investigation of difficulty related distraction by conflicting goal intentions in learning and problem solving with hypertext. Log files are used to capture hypertext navigation in the face of opportunities to implement competing goal intentions. We study how differences in task difficulty influence the volitional protection of the current goal intention. First attempts to integrate volitional processes of action control into cognitive
Supporting Teachers Intervention in Collaborative Knowledge Building
In the context of distributed collaborative learning, the teacher's role is different from traditional teacher-centered environments, they are coordinators/facilitators, guides, and co-learners. They monitor the collaboration activities within a group, detect problems and intervene in the collaboration to give advice and learn alongside students at the same time. We have designed an Assistant to support teachers intervention in collaborative knowledge building. The Assistant monitors the collabo
Networked Management Learning for Managers of Small and Medium Enterprises
This paper argues that networked management learning might have specific relevance for SME management development since this model recognizes the importance of social relations and the associated relational dialogue that underpin knowledge and innovation in specific business contexts. Indeed NML reinforces the centrality of networking entrepreneurs and other relevant actors at the local level to increase the effectiveness of their actions and also helps integrate the different components of the

I processi di apprendimento nei contesti dello sviluppo e del cambiamento segnati dalla globalizzaz
La qualità dell'apprendimento è il vero segreto del successo di un sistema educativo, e non avrebbe senso fare battaglie globali per mandare tutti in una scuola o in una università dove si insegnano nozioni inutili, con metodologie sorpassate o repressive. Al di là delle ovvie considerazioni sulla dotazione minima di attrezzature didattiche e infrastrutture necessarie affinché una scuola o una università funzioni decentemente, vi sono almeno cinque elementi non materiali che caratteriz

Multimedia Versus Ugliness of the City
This paper presents a method of using multimedia techniques in order to solve problems of visual pollution of city environment. It is our observation that human - inducted degradation of city environmental results not only from neglect and vandalism but also from well - intentioned but inappropriate preservation actions by uninformed designers and local administrations. Very often, a local municipality administration permit to erect an ugly, bad-fitting surroundings houses. It is usually connect
Algorithm For The Automatic Design Of A Shading Device
Given that there is a need to shade a window from the summer sun and also a need to expose it to the winter sun, this article describes an algorithm to design automatically a geometric construct that satisfies both requirements. The construct obtained represents the minimum solution to the simultaneous requirements. The window may be described by an arbitrary convex polygon and it may be oriented in any direction and it may be placed at any chosen latitude. The algorithm consists of two sequenti
Infographic: Its Incorporation and Relativity in Architectural Design Process
This paper is about an architectural design workshop regularly held at a public university in Santa Fe, Argentina. The class is about 150 students large, with different informatic capabilities and hardware facilities. The design problem of the workshop, which is one year long, is the relationship between architectural project and the construction of the urbanity. This implies both a physical intervention and a cultural expression. Pedagogy seeks students to overcome individualism, characteristic
Imagen del espacio p?blico e imagen digital (Image of the public space and digital image)
This paper refers to the concept, image and meaning of the public space in media size cities. The premise is the displacement of the social comprehension and valuation of the public due to economical, political and cultural features of contemporary. The concept of public understood as an adjective of urban space moves to the public as a substantive that refers to a general condition of life in city. Digital image and its informational manipulation are the main resources for processing the public
On The Technical Features Of The Endoscope - OES Modelscope as a Case in Point
The Olympus Optical Company of Japan was formed in 1919, with the introduction of the first generation single lens reflects camera, and soon after with the first microscope. Since that time, the organisation has developed and is now split into three main divisions: manufacturing and supplying cameras, microscopes and endoscopes. Other smaller specialist divisions exist suppling such products as dictaphones. Perhaps, rather surprisingly, the endoscope division is the largest part of the organisat
