Endowing LOs with a Social Dimension

چکیده
Repositories of learning objects have the potential to support teachers’ work and diffuse innovation in the school, nevertheless they did not arouse much interest from the teachers so far. We argue that this problem could be overcome by adding to repositories possibilities of focused interaction and collaboration among teachers, so as to foster reflection and value teachers’ experience. To this end, we modelled the re-use process as a constructive activity. We implemented this view by means of a collaborative environment explicitly oriented to work with learning objects. In this paper, we describe our pedagogical view of re-use and the environment we realized, highlighting the interplay between individual reflection and social dimension. We also summarise the outcomes of the first use of the environment in a teacher training

Social Determinants of Polypharmacy in First Generation Mexican Immigrants in the United States
Introduction: Socioeconomic status (SES) indicators are among the main social determinants of health and illness. Less, however, is known about the role of SES in the epidemiology of polypharmacy in immigrant Latino Americans living in the United States.

متن کاملEndowing Business Artifacts with a Normative Coordination Layer
We propose to enrich the artifact-centric approach in two ways. First, by relying on the Agent-Oriented Paradigm, the tasks acting on artifacts are organized in agents, seen as autonomous loci of control, whose execution is goal-driven. Second, the business artifact model is complemented by a normative dimension. Norms are used to represent the data lifecycle in a form that is inspectable and t...
متن کاملImproving the Usefulness of Learning Objects by Means of Pedagogy-Oriented Design
AbstrAct Learning Objects (LOs) are increasingly considered potentially helpful to improve teachers' work and to spread innovation in the school system. Their technological roots, however, often make them scarcely appealing to the teachers. A key issue to tackle in order to boost their diffusion is to make them closer to actual teacher's work by emphasising pedagogical aspects. To this end, the...

Social scientists have long sought to understand the cultural production system. Such research elucidates the importance of the social milieu to cultural industries. We capture aggregate patterns of the social milieu and the geographical form it takes. We use a unique data set, Getty Images and geo-coded over 6000 events and 300,000 photographic images taken in Los Angeles and New York City, an...
متن کاملFifth dimension of life and the 4/5 allometric scaling law for human brain.
Brain cells are not spherical. The basal metabolic rate (B) of a spherical cell scales as B approximately r2, where r is the radius of the cell; that of a brain cell scales as B approximately r(d), where r is the characteristic radius of the cell and d is the fractal dimensionality of its contour. The fractal geometry of the cell leads to a 4/5 allometric scaling law for human brain, uniquely e...
