DELE: a Deaf-centred E-Learning Environment
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a framework to address educational issues, especially focusing on deaf people, and present a preliminary model based on recent methodological findings. We started to develop multimedia learning environments based on Storytelling and Conceptual Metaphors, and adopt Cognitive Embodiment as a framework to address sensorially-critical subjects. We are using such methods to develop a Deaf-centered E-Learning Environment (DELE). Therefore, a Story Controller is designed for supporting stories handling. Its behaviour is formally specified through a formal model based on statecharts.

متن کاملAddressing different cognitive levels for on-line learning
On-line teaching and learning with the help of a learning environment naturally shifts the balance from a teacher-centred to a student-centred approach. When teachers and students are not often in face-to-face contact, the learning has to be carefully planned and adequately supported by the teaching environment to induce learning at the appropriate level. In previous work, we have argued that i...
