There is an ever growing number of mobile learning applications based on location-awareness, However, there is still a lack of information concerning how it might impact socio-cognitive processes involved in collaboration. This is what the following empiri ...
This paper presents an approach that allows educators without programming skills to build and deploy Web-based experimentation environments. Conscious of the need to move existing Web Based Courses Management Tools (WBCMT) from a document-centered framewor ...
The evaluation of learning environments depends highly on the evaluation instruments used and on the position of the evaluation in the design cycle. In this article, we present a use-case report of a summative evaluation of a Web-based learning environment ...

In this paper, we present a new combination of a biologically inspired attention system (VOCUS – Visual Object detection with a CompUtational attention System) with a robust object detection method. As an application, we built a reliable system for ball re ...
With the spread of computer technology into the artistic fields, new application scenarios for computer-based applications of symbolic music representation (SMR) have been identified. The integration of SMR in a versatile multimedia framework such as MPEG ...
Humanoids remain luxurious robots, not easily purchasable or reproducible. The Robota project aims at building a low cost open humanoid platform, for use as educational tool for normal and disabled children. This paper reports on the mechanical design of a ...
The Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Lausanne, Switzerland, is deploying a flexible learning scheme for selected pilot courses in engineering education. In such a scheme, traditional lectures and written exercises are combined with addition ...
In this paper, the development of an original and time-efficient measurement device is proposed for the detailed investigation of the daylight distribution within buildings. It is meant to be used for two kinds of applications: - to assess the sunlight dis ...
Ensemble algorithms can improve the performance of a given learning algorithm through the combination of multiple base classifiers into an ensemble. In this paper, the idea of using an adaptive policy for training and combining the base classifiers is put ...
This paper presents a methodology for extracting meaningful synchronous structures from multi-modal signals. Simultaneous processing of multi-modal data can reveal information that is unavailable when handling the sources separately. However, in natural hi ...
