E-Learning uses electronic media, information & communication technologies to provide education to the masses. E-learning deliver hypertext, text, audio, images, animation and videos using desktop standalone computer, local area network based intranet and internet based contents. While producing an e-learning content or course-ware, a major decision making factor is whether to use audio for the...

Herein we describe a standardized approach to teach endoscopic injection therapy to repair vesicoureteral reflux utilizing the CEVL method, an internet-accessed platform. The content was developed through collaboration of the authors' clinical and computer expertises. This application provides personnel training, examination, and procedure skill documentation through the use of online text with...

We describe the integration of MEXICA, a well-developed story generation system which produces high-level plots, with the nn Narrator, an existing system for automatically narrating based on a simulated world and a plan with narrative specifications. In our initial integration of these systems in a pipeline, we did not seek to model the creative process explicitly. The initial integration never...

A key means of getting to know someone is by telling them about personal experiences. Even as children, some individuals engage others readily by such personal narration, while others seldom do so, remaining aloof in conversation. The present study investigates whether such differences may be traced to the security of children’s attachment to their mothers, usually at one and the same time thei...

We perform a systematic expansion of protocol narrations into terms of a process algebra in order to make precise some of the detailed checks that need to be made in a protocol. We then apply static analysis technology to develop an automatic validation procedure for protocols. Finally, we demonstrate that these techniques suffice for identifying a number of authentication flaws in symmetric ke...

Automatic narration of events and entities is the need of the hour, especially when live reporting is critical and volume of information to be narrated is huge. This paper discusses the challenges in this context, along with the algorithms used to build such systems. From a systematic study, we can infer that most of the work done in this area is related to statistical data. It was also found t...
