Efficiency and sustainability of technology-enhanced learning is increasingly guaranteed by target-group and subject-specific arrangements of learning-conducive elements. Self-learning phases are combined with synchronous or asynchronous online collaboration and cooperation, as well as with face-to-face training sessions. In the "Up2UML" project funded by the Leonardo-da-Vinci initiative, partn...

software Shaping Workshops (SSWs) described in this paper are so f iare environments designed to support various activities of End-User Development (EUD) and tailoring. A design methodolog). to create easy-todevelop-and-tailor Visual Interactive Svstems that are organised as SSWs is illustrated. Users of an interactive system are in many cases experts in some domain different from Computer Scie...

We present an approach that aims at introducing tailoring capacities in a framework designed to support collective activities in a learning context: students state their organization (using a task conceptual notion modelled following Engeström’s triangle) and are then proposed with a reification of the adopted organization, and, in particular, the set of tools they have asked for. This approach...

The possibility of tailoring the guidance properties of optical fibers along the same direction as the evolution of the optical field allows to explore new directions in nonlinear fiber optics. The new degree of freedom offered by axiallyvarying optical fibers enables to revisit well-established nonlinear phenomena, and even to discover novel short pulse nonlinear dynamics. Here we study the im...

Verschiedene kooperative Lernszenarien stellen unterschiedliche Anforderungen an CSCL-Umgebungen. Aus diesem Grund muss eine Lernumgebung vor und während einer Lehrveranstaltung von den Teilnehmern und Betreuern anpassbar sein. Dies bezeichnen wir als Tailoring. Tailoring muss sowohl auf der strukturellen und funktionalen Ebene als auch auf der inhaltlichen Ebene möglich sein. An der FernUniver...

Independent, heterogeneous, distributed, sometimes transient and mobile data sources produce an enormous amount of information that should be semantically integrated and filtered, or, as we say, tailored, based on the users’ interests and context. We propose to exploit knowledge about the user, the adopted device, and the environment altogether called context to the end of information tailoring...

The iso-migrastatin (iso-MGS) biosynthetic gene cluster from Streptomyces platensis NRRL 18993 consists of 11 genes, featuring an acyltransferase (AT)-less type I polyketide synthase (PKS) and three tailoring enzymes MgsIJK. Systematic inactivation of mgsIJK in S. platensis enabled us to (i) identify two nascent products of the iso-MGS AT-less type I PKS, establishing an unprecedented novel fea...
