This paper argues that the dominant hypermedia models of electronic literacy are too limited to do justice to new media and changing views of literacy in the electronic age, especially in terms of their recourse to postmodern theories of representation. Such models tend to interpret the use of digital media in relation to readers or users of information viewed as producers or constructors of th...

Language learners are known to perform best in one-on-one interactive situations in which they receive optimal corrective feedback. However, one-on-one tutoring by trained language instructors is costly and therefore not feasible for the majority of language learners. This particularly applies to oral proficiency, which requires intensive tutoring. Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) sys...

Scaffolds are a good method of implementing self-regulated learning. Use of prior knowledge makes the learner to understand a topic better. Learner adaptation enables a learner to be presented with content that matches his/her level of understanding. The main aim of this project is to use the adaptive scaffolds in form of concept maps in web-based elearning systems to play the role of learner g...

this study aimed at examining the major mobile wireless technologies, that is,mobile phones and the possibilities associated with them, currently in use in theeducational domains, with an emphasis on language teaching and learning practices.accordingly, some of the most typical studies using different functions of mobilephones such as e-mail, multimedia capabilities, wireless application protoc...

This paper presents an XML-based Adaptive Hypermedia Model (XAHM) and its modular architecture, for modelling and supporting Adaptive Hypermedia Systems, i.e. hypertext-based multimedia systems that allow user-driven access to information and content personalization. We propose a graph-based layered model for the description of the logical structure of the hypermedia, and XML-based models for t...

Spatial hypermedia provides opportunities for expression not possible in navigational hypertext. However, static spatial hypermedia, just like static traditional hypermedia, has a single presentation for all use contexts. We are exploring the use of multiple adaptation models to alter the presentation of spatial hypertext. Differences between navigational and spatial hypertext expression requir...

Stories have been shared in every culture because they are a powerful means to entertain, educate, preserve traditions or instill values. In the history of storytelling technological evolution has changed the tools available to storytellers, from primarily oral representations that have been enriched with gestures and expressions to the sophisticated forms we enjoy today, such as film or comple...
