This includes death and digital legacy, strongly influenced by cultural phenomena, such as religion. Therefore, it is important to analyze youngsters‟ concepts of death in the web, as the Internet Generation outnumbers other groups of social network users. Besides, due to their...

The NSDL (National Science Digital Library) is funded by the National Science Foundation to advance science and math education. The initial product was a metadata-based digital library providing search and access to distributed resources. Our recent work recognizes the importance of context – relations, metadata, annotations – for the pedagogical value of a digital library. This new architectur...

Web 2.0 platforms such as media sharing and social network sites (SNS) concern people in everyday life to a great extent.
