Nowadays technological advancement enables multiple education scenarios, like online learning and technology enhanced classroom learning. Both of these scenarios share a common level of knowledge about the learner and his or her learning preferences. This knowledge is limited and in most scenarios gathered via a learner survey. This situation limits system capability on delivering individualise...

Research regarding autonomous learning shows that freeplay does not result in optimal learning. Combining scenario-based training with intelligent agent technology offers the possibility to create autonomous training enriched with automated adaptive support delivered by a director agent. We conducted an experiment to investigate whether directing training scenarios improves the quality of train...

In a series of faculty-based projects on design, realization, implementation, use and evaluation of digital learning resources for higher education, many design requirements emerged and were evaluated. This paper focuses on those requirements that are related with large-scale use. It is argued that sustainable quality of design and realization of digital learning resources will only be possible...

Hyper-lectures support distance learning and traditional lecturing based learning. They can be used in asynchronous and synchronous, collaborative learning scenarios. Three scenarios and their implementation with DreamTeam, a general groupware development and runtime environment, are addressed.

E-learning and learning in ICT integrated learning environments will be a most important part of future learning scenarios, especially in the fields of ‘Media Education’ and ‘ICT in Education’. ICT integrated learning scenarios often only address the cognitive level of learning and teaching processes. But to learn successfully about problems of the digital divide, cyber risks, data privacy and ...

Automation or semi-automation of learning scenario specifications is one of the least explored subjects in the e-learning research area. There is a need for a catalogue of learning scenarios and a technique to facilitate automated retrieval of stored specifications. This requires constructing an ontology with this goal and is justified in this paper. This ontology must mainly support a specific...

The inclusion of Information and Communication Technologies, especially mobile devices, in learning environments has allowed both the emergence of new ways of learning and the adaptation of traditional teaching methods. In this sense, Ambient Intelligence (AmI) paradigm represents a promising approach that can be successfully applied to education. Pervasive computing, context and location aware...
