This paper presents the findings of a study on the acceptability in higher education of a Web 2.0 collaborative application, namely eLogbook. The latter offers several features for sustaining collaboration and supporting personal and group learning. It was ...
We examine the problem of learning a set of parameters from a distributed dataset. We assume the datasets are collected by agents over a distributed ad-hoc network, and that the communication of the actual raw data is prohibitive due to either privacy cons ...
We propose and evaluate antichain algorithms to solve the universality and language inclusion problems for nondeterministic Buchi automata, and the emptiness problem for alternating Buchi automata. To obtain those algorithms, we establish the existence of ...
Open ended learning is a dynamic process based on the continuous analysis of new data, guided by past experience. On one side it is helpful to take advantage of prior knowledge when only few information on a new task is available (transfer learning). On th ...
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 ...

We live in a rapidly changing digital world marked by technological advances, and fraught with online information constantly growing thanks to the Internet revolution and the online social applications in particular. Formal learning acquired in traditional ...
We provide intuitive, objective and reliable metrics for evaluating the participants of a discussion based on a basic set of roles. This method can be applied to any temporally ordered discussion transcript. We show that it is possible to partially automat ...
The Geodetic Engineering Laboratory (TOPO) at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) has introduced e- learning into its undergraduate topography course. The Centre for Research and Support of Training and its Technologies (CRAFT) has introduced ...
In this paper we propose to draw a link from the quantitative notion of coherence, previously used to evaluate rival scientific theories, to legal reasoning. We evaluate the stories of the plaintiff and the defendant in a legal case as rival theories by me ...
Scene structuring is a video analysis task for which no common evaluation procedures have been fully adopted. In this paper, we present a methodology to evaluate such task in home videos, which takes into account human judgement, and includes a representat ...
