In this paper we argue that the potential of e-learning systems for active and autonomous knowledge acquisition and use can be substantially enhanced by exploiting the personalization capabilities of concept-oriented content management. Content and implementation personalization are essential services provided by research-oriented content management systems. Personalized concept understanding a...

In this paper, I will argue that two kinds of first-person-oriented content are distinguished in more ways than usually thought and I propose an account that will shed new light on the distinction. The first kind consists of contents of attitudes de se (in a broad sense); the second kind consists of contents that give rise to intuitions of relative truth. I will present new data concerning the ...

This paper examines the impact of a structured, multi-dimensional reflection track 16-week pilot programme in experimental pedagogics (XP) The Netherlands. XP is an elective undergraduate which students investigate socially relevant educational problems local communities and design interventions to address these issues through problem-oriented project work (PPL). To accompany learning journey, ...

Service-Oriented Content Adaptation (SOCA) has emerged as a potential solution to the content-device mismatch problem. One of the key problems with the SOCA scheme is that a content adaptation task can potentially be performed by multiple services. In this paper, we propose an approach to the service discovery problem for SOCA and it is demonstrated to perform well. 1 Background and Related Wor...

We have developed a technique that categorizes document images based on their content. Unlike conventional methods that use optical character recognition (OCR), we convert document images into word shape tokens, a shape-based representation of words. Because we have only to recognize simple graphical features from image, this process is much faster than OCR. Although the mapping between word sh...

XML is the perfect format for storing (mostly) textual documents in a digital library; its flexibility enables users to store both highly structured data (like database records) and free text in the same document. The data-centric parts can be searched using query languages like XPath and XQuery, where exact conditions on the structure can be imposed. For digital libraries, however, it is impor...

The need for creating content repository stores for e-learning systems grows as the number of available materials increases. Moreover, along with the number of courses, the problem of describing them in a unified form appears. While there are standards used for strict classification of elearning content, the store model still seems to be based on preservative relational databases approach. In t...

In this paper a number of principles for content-oriented cognitive psychology will be presented in the context of research into chess players’ information processing. It will be argued that modern theoretical concepts of attention, imagery and memory are based on underlying concepts of capacity and format and that these concepts are not sufficiently powerful to express all phenomena associated...
