The automatic collection of data concerning the interaction between students and Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) systems has become increasingly common. Such data availability has led to applications of Learning Analytics (LA) techniques, characterized by the capability of extracting non-trivial patterns from them. In this framework, we describe the methodology we are adopting to explore the...

We present a method to classify movies on the basis of audio-visual cues present in the previews. A preview summarizes the main idea of a movie providing suitable amount of information to perform the genre classification. We perform the initial classification into action and non-action by computing the visual disturbance feature of every movie. Visual disturbance is defined as a measure of moti...

as one of the most important components of a nations basic facilities, the networking of the library plays a vital role in terms of promoting the sharing of access to information. although the traditional methods of literature indexing and accessing will continue to exist and develop, library networking will become the new model and the direction for the development of the library. through the ...

This paper presents an Image Similarity Search service for the European Digital Library and summarizes the requirements of different stakeholders that make use of this kind of service. The current implementation is suited to support public users when exploring the content of Europeana. Further enhancements of this service are required to support design related activities by stimulating and insp...

The paper studies the problem of implementing MultiLingual Information Access (MLIA) functionality in The European Library (TEL). The issues that must be considered are described in detail and the results of a preliminary feasibility study are presented. The paper concludes by discussing the difficulties inherent in attempting to provide a realistic full-scale MLIA solution and proposes a roadm...

Approaches to competence development have tended to focus on training to reach a required level of performance in simple and reproducible contexts, rather than in the more complex and hard-to-replicate contexts that characterize real-world projects, especially projects that involve people from other cultures. This paper explores how the Serious Games approach can be exploited to create skills i...

The European Go-Lab project offers Inquiry Learning Spaces (ILSs) as open educational resources to support Inquiry-based Learning (IBL). To successfully exploit ILSs and implement IBL, proper support for orchestration is needed. Researchers have highlighted the complexity of orchestrating Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) scenarios and the need for supporting participants in this endeavour. In...
