AM in FM - The Animation Mentor community p2p learning using FlashMeeting
This event took place on Tuesday 23 May 2006 at 12:30
Linda J. Castaneda University of Murcia
Understanding the pedagogy of peer learning is one of the most important knowledge frontiers in research on educational technologies and indeed in education generally. The FlashMeeting research project on innovative online events has provided a wealth of naturalistic data on groups working together.
In this talk I will present the initial results of an evaluation of one specific p2p learning community: 80-100 students who are studying independently in the US based Animation Mentor programme. The study explores the nature of their interchange, their work, their social relationships and their sense of community in this innovative environment.

Multimedia and Information Systems is...
We focus on content-based information retrieval over a wide range of data spanning form unstructured text and unlabelled images over spoken documents and music to videos. This encompasses the modelling of human perception of relevance and similarity, the learning from user actions and the up-to-date presentation of information. Currently we are building a research version of an integrated multimedia information retrieval system MIR to be used as a research prototype. We aim for a system that understands the user's information need and successfully links it to the appropriate information sources, be it a report or a TV news clip. This work is guided by the vision that an automated knowledge extraction system ultimately empowers people making efficient use of information sources without the burden of filing data into specialised databases.
