In such centers, practitioners observe, analyze and assess children’s progress on a daily basis. Using this data, they plan new stimulating activities for the kids taken into account their personal traits and competence level. This paper presents an ICT-based system that allows parents and practitioners collaborate and share their responsibility as children’s educators both in classroom and home settings. Using a TV set as main access device, the parents can watch interactive training videos from the commodity of their living room, track child’s progress, access to child’s portfolio, receive recommendations of educational activities or add their own observations among other services. In such a way the system seeks to strengthen the home-school link, to enhance the overall quality in early childhood services and to create an educational community committed to the well-being and education of children.","PeriodicalId":268199,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies","volume":"140 11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128999776","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}

The components of the framework include tools for: detecting reading difficulties and preferences in the students, assessing cognitive processes involved in their reading, and delivering intervention and assistance tasks according to specific cognitive deficits. This framework is designed considering multimodal interaction mechanisms by means of using different communicative channels (visual, auditory and speech). Additionally, its architecture is formed mainly by: 1) a student model including individual reading profiles, learning styles and cognitive traits, 2) an adaptation engine based on the delivery of learning analytics and adapted recommendations, and 3) tracking tools to measure the performance and satisfaction of users. The framework is proposed to be integrated into a LMS and, to this end, the architecture is supported in web services.","PeriodicalId":268199,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121357922","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}

Current LMSs do not provide the needed features to check that the intended student is taking the online exam by himself, or even to know if he has spent the whole session time in front of the computer. This paper presents a web-based application that offers biometric authentication based on face-recognition. This application, which can be easily integrated in currently available LMSs, is able to use face-recognition during access control, tracking and assessment. Thus it is possible to improve security during critical phases in the learning process (e.g. assessment).","PeriodicalId":268199,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114596225","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}

Together with Agrega, a set of tools has been developed aimed at the end user, for use outside the repositories. One of these is the Agrega offline tool. It consists of a group of utilities integrated under a single tool which enables you to perform editing and management operations similar to those which can be performed on the learning objects from this node.

We have conducted a naturalistic field study of two informants use the tool collaboratively. Our question is in what manners these students put the tool into use. These students let initiative be taken by the CALL application, despite it being designed with student initiative in mind, and despite students being aware of features and occasions where they could take initiative.
