This paper describes a set of new technologies, tools, paradigms and infrastructures that have been developed and studied by the KMR group. Based on the emerging nextgeneration World Wide Web, the so-called Semantic Web, these developments rely on international learning technology standards to support the sharing of digital content for learning and the building of virtual learning communities, ...

In the 21 century, with the advent of ultra high-speed broadband networks (1Gb per second), the Internet will offer new opportunities for innovators to design qualitative services and applications. Indeed, the challenge of such e-services is not only on the technological aspects of Internet with new infrastructures and architectures to conceive. The reality is also on its human and multimedia c...

The instructional practices common in today's schools reveal a disconnect between instruction and evidence of the effects of that instruction on student learning. In this paper, we propose the creation of computational infrastructures that will help teachers make more informed decisions in their practice. These infrastructures formalize student and teacher routines to facilitate data collection...

Classroom software engineering teaching and industry needs have significantly diverged with emphases on: (a) the development of software from scratch rather than on integration, evolution, deployment on complex shared infrastructures (b) functional requirements alone (c) technical aspects alone rather than business-IT aligned perspectives (d) non-technical skills taught outside of the IT contex...

background:   by the development of e-learning in the world and also in iran, tabriz university of medical science has been implementing and expanding e-learning. the investigation of its problems from the academic staffs’ viewpoints, and proposing solutions in order to solve or eliminate the problem effects add to its advantages and provide sustainable basis according to the necessity of chang...

We understand e-science as having two strands: 1) Collecting, organizing and analyzing often large scale digital data of various kinds, and the tools and infrastructure needed for that; 2) the study of the heterogeneous factors that influence the design, uptake and use of e-science tools and infrastructures. Or in other words, we distinguish between e-science and research of e-science (see also...
