Technology enhanced learning with subject field multiplicity support

Abstract

In this paper, we discuss some ideas and tools for Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) capable of spanning over and integrating a multiplicity of subject fields. Multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and pandisciplinary educational content, its presentation in different forms, as well as methods and technologies for its integration in TEL are considered. Tangible interfaces based on digitally enhanced physical objects, including printed documents, that facilitate a new level of content-aware interactivity are introduced and a Tangible TEL (T-TEL) is proposed. With this we attempt to establish a cooperative TEL framework for integrating independently obtained results involving several research projects both at national and international levels and spanning over two continents.
