Teaching through story telling has been recognized as a pedagogical paradigm that enhances learning outcomes at many levels. Understanding life, science and even technological concepts becomes easier if the educational content is presented as a well-linked narrative. Movement Oriented Design (MOD) is a paradigm that views any presentation as a story telling artifact. From Aristotle’s time we ha...

Internet technologies provide opportunities to improve teaching and learning of the principal competencies in a graduate-level, professional education. Epidemiology is a core area of public health education.

Three distinct clusters were identified from a survey study of a sample of 127 unit coordinators from a regional Australian University. The clusters emerged after a survey that explored perceptions of pedagogical practices that incorporated the use of Information Communication and Technology (ICT). The key components of the survey were based on seven constructs derived from the Technological Pe...

The Semantic Web pursues interoperability at syntactic and semantic levels, to face the proliferation of data files with different purposes and representation formats. One challenge is how to represent such data, to allow users and applications to easily find, use and combine them. The paper proposes an infrastructure to meet those goals. The basis of the proposal is the notion of digital conte...

We use principal component analysis (PCA) to reduce the dimensionality of features of video frames for the purpose of content description. This low dimensional description makes practical the direct use of all the frames of a video sequence in later analysis. The PCA representation circumvents or eliminates several of the stumbling blocks in current analysis methods, and makes new analyses feas...
