On one hand, mobile technologies are in the center of this transformation as they are forming the basis for the objective assessment of a variety of health parameters in the real life environment and for the increased and more effective involvement of patients in the healthcare process. On the other hand, chronic diseases in general and asthma in particular are expected to be drastically benefited from mobile technologies as they depend greatly on the adherence of patients to their prescribed treatment, and they require a continuous monitoring of health indicators. The MyAirCoach project is aiming to contribute in bridging this gap between the available technologies and the need for new asthma management approaches, through the development of novel solutions that will support patients and healthcare professionals. Efficient patient education is considered a fundamental component in this process as it holds the promise to positively affect all the above aspects of asthma self-management. In this direction the MyAirCoach mobile application was designed to include an education framework that aims to increase the awareness of patients about the disease of asthma and help them improve their technique of inhaler use through illustrative presentations and interactive multiple choice questions. The current paper outlines the development process and selected structure of this environment, and takes a first step towards its validation through the first round of feedback collected from the MyAirCoach Advisory Patient Forum.","PeriodicalId":228227,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Interactive Mobile Communication Technologies and Learning (IMCL)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114444185","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But what if the user is a children that is much more prone to get distracted? In this paper, we propose the presentation of touristic and cultural information to children through an augmented-reality approach. In order to keep focused the attention of the young users we make use of a virtual tourist guide, appearing as a comic book superhero. To get a realistic representation of the avatar we exploit a technique for fast simulating talking heads, which is portable on mobile devices. The technique is based on preloading a set of meshes representing different phonemes and switching among them in order to simulate animation, without the need of computing the update for an entire face model. In addition, we report on a first Android prototype, which shows the effectiveness of the approach for increasing children's learning.","PeriodicalId":228227,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Interactive Mobile Communication Technologies and Learning (IMCL)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129572472","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, in the thought Long Life Learning idea it is important to support adults in completing their university education. It is important to make study process as convenient as it possible. In the Institute of Geography of University of Gdansk we found blended learning system useful to fulfil students' needs. The aim of the article was to analyze the results of the survey of students and academic staff on the opinion about introduction to the curriculum the blended learning. Among academics, the idea has found as many supporters as opponents. The advantages of the introduction of this form of teaching, which are shown by both students and teachers include saving time and facilitating learning. To the disadvantages of e-learning students include some technical problems but first and foremost the inconvenient hours of mandatory chats and problems with meeting deadlines for sending tasks. Additionally, teachers pointed the problems with the assessment of the independence of student's work. It seems that the reason is lack of knowledge on e-learning methods and the lack of the ability to use e-learning tools.","PeriodicalId":228227,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Interactive Mobile Communication Technologies and Learning (IMCL)","volume":"282 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132194403","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
