Evolving from Course-Centric to Learning-Centric: Portfolios, Wikis, and Social Learning

Course-centric vs subject-centric vs community- centric approaches to ICT-enabled learning settings

The paper presents a discussion on the different approaches that we have found in learning settings respect to ICT platforms that support the educational activities. Three are the main approaches: LMSs, where the course is put at the center of the system, social networks (like FacebookTM, TwitterTM, FlickrTM etc) where the subject with her network of social relationships is put in the center of...

Object-Centric Representation Learning from Unlabeled Videos

Supervised (pre-)training currently yields state-of-the-art performance for representation learning for visual recognition, yet it comes at the cost of (1) intensive manual annotations and (2) an inherent restriction in the scope of data relevant for learning. In this work, we explore unsupervised feature learning from unlabeled video. We introduce a novel object-centric approach to temporal co...

The importance of knowledge to an organization’s competitive performance is widely recognized. A knowledge-centric organization is one within which the creation and management of knowledge are at the heart of its strategic thinking, operations, and activities. Knowledge-centricity can only be achieved if knowledge, and the behaviors and systems associated with its creation and management, are d...
