Developing web based learning courses usually requires a lot of programming efforts to provide session management. Our system is designed to enable authors to develop easily learning courses. In this paper, we describe the adaptable, the interactive, and the communicative features of the environment. Authors are supported in many ways to develop and manage courses via an online interface. We pr...

Development of 3D interactive network applications requires standards for representing 3D content as well as metadata standards for describing the content. In this chapter, selected standards for content representation and content description are presented. In particular, the VRML, X3D, and MPEG-4 ISO/IEC standards are presented. Other standards such as U3D, COLLADA, and 3D XML are also discuss...

In this paper a collection of prototype applications developed by VRT –as part of the ICoSOLE project– are described: Moments, Trademark and the Wall. Together, they form the The Wall of Moments. The aim is to collect valuable usergenerated content, in order to create a near-to live immersive experience for event visitors as well as people who can’t attend an event. Author

We propose a novel, interactive content-aware zooming operator that allows effective and efficient visualization of high resolution images on small screens, which may have different aspect ratios compared to the input images. Our approach applies an image retargeting method in order to fit an entire image into the limited screen space. This can provide global, but approximate views for lower zo...

In the paper we discus about design of universal environment for solution of creating effective multimedia applications with accent on the implementation of interactive elements with the possibility of using the adaptive systems (AS). We also discuss about possibilities of offline presentation of this interactive multimedia adaptive animations using Adobe Flash. We propose a scheme of implement...

In this paper, we propose an open framework for teachers and lecturers in science, to help them write their pedagogical documents with both static textual parts, and interactive and multimedia content. This framework will also allow them to factorize the structure common to all this documents into classes, and to free themselves from all other design considerations. Moreover, OPTIM allows autho...

Recent progress in Interactive Storytelling has been mostly based on the development of proof-of-concept prototypes, whilst the actual production process for interactive narratives largely remains to be invented. Central to this effort is the concept of authoring, which should determine the relationships between generative technologies underlying Interactive Storytelling engines, and the actual...

As part of a large-scale project, the current qualitative study investigated the possible contribution of a consciousness-raising interactive workshop (as a form of professional development activity) to 30) 22 female and 8 male) Iranian EFL teachers’ professional identity construction. Thirty Iranian EFL teachers were asked to write two reflective journals (one individually and one collectively...
