whitepaper Wiki as a Tool for Web-Based Collaborative Story Telling in Primary School: A Case Study2005-12-08 01:02:03
  Wikis are simple to use collaborative hypertext authoring systems. In recent years, these systems have caught the attention of the education community, because they embody many aspects of personal empowerment and communication between learners. To date, most work on Wiki in education has focused on use for information creation and sharing by students at the post-primary level. This paper presents a case study where primary level students (Grade 4-6) used a Wiki for collaborative storytelling. The paper reports on the experience with this activity in the course of 5 semesters since 2002, each semester comprising 9 hours of class time.

whitepaper Designing Learning Services: From Content-Based to Activity-Based Learning Systems2005-05-14 University of Piraeus
  The need for e-learning systems that support a diverse set of pedagogical requirements has been identified as an important issue in web-based education. Until now, significant R&D effort has been devoted aiming towards web-based educational systems tailored to specific pedagogical approaches. The most advanced of them are based on the IEEE Learning Technology Systems Architecture and use standardized content structuring based on the ADL Sharable Content Object Reference Model in order to enable sharing and reusability of the learning content. However, sharing of learning activities among different web-based educational systems still remains an open issue. The open question is how web-based educational systems should be designed in order to enable reusing and repurposing of learning activities.

whitepaper Interactive Authoring Support for Adaptive Educational Systems2005-04-29 University of Pittsburgh
  A well-known challenge of adaptive educational systems is the need to develop intelligent content, which is very time and expertise consuming. In traditional approaches a teacher is kept at a distance from intelligent authoring. This paper advocates the involvement of teachers in creating intelligent content. The paper presents an approach to the development of intelligent content as well as an authoring tool for teachers that support our approach. This approach has two main stages: elicitation of concepts from content elements and the identification of a prerequisite/outcome structure for the course. The resulting sequence of adaptive activities reflects the author's view of the course's organization.

whitepaper The Design and Development of a Scaleable e-Learning Authoring System2005-02-23 University of Kansas
  This flexible and scaleable e-Learning Resource Authoring (ERA) system is designed to support the rapid development of content structures, instructional features and user interfaces. By separating content from design, we execute rapid global refinements to the user interface while maintaining reliability in large-scale e-Learning resource development. The user interface elements include multiple navigation strategies with pagination and position indicators, a main table of contents and submenus that support a modular design allowing lessons to be used independently. Interactive features include: multiple choice and open-ended assessments with tailored remediation and hyper-reference links to context sensitive glossaries and other instructional features. The primary instructional components are the lesson previews and presentations that are available in a text format and streaming media versions with segmented play lists.   
whitepaper Electronic Licensing: The Build vs. Buy Decision2006-02-02 11:33:26 Macrovision
  Software and hardware vendors today face profitability challenges from both internal and external sources. Factors such as rampant piracy, unlicensed use, and support on outdated versions cost the industry billions of dollars each year. At the same time, customers are demanding new ways of buying software, including subscription or term-based pricing models and software as a service. Software and hardware vendors that embed software in the products using hard-coded licensing terms and inflexible pricing models have difficulty responding to these changing market demands. When evaluating the build vs. buy decision, it pays for software and hardware vendors to look at the complete picture of total cost of ownership, solution flexibility, project risk, and most importantly, return on investment.
