This seminar concerns the design of technology enhanced learning environments to improve their learning through reading and writing activities. So far, We have tested (1) The effect of informative feedback on the computerized note-taking from an online course with students, (2) The effect of feedback on the production of a summary or a synthesis on the control of these activities and the understanding of the documents read and researches from students about the European project LTfLL.
Among these various studies, the most important research concerns the summary activity, an activity that allows learners to train their understanding and to assess it.
A large part of the work presented in this seminar relates to the computational modeling of cognitive processes used in understanding and writing activities. These models allow us to better understand the learner. They are based on latent semantic analysis and are used for predictive purposes in the systems designed.
More generally, with an original approach based on theories borrowed from different fields (psychological, educational, computer), we are trying to answer the question: how to assist learners to improve their reading comprehension and written production?

New Media Systems is...
Our New Media Systems research theme aims to show how new media devices, standards, architectures and concepts can change the nature of learning.
Our work involves the development of short life-cycle working prototypes of innovative technologies or concepts that we believe will influence the future of open learning within a 3-5 year timescale. Each new media concept is built into a working prototype of how the innovation may change a target community. The working prototypes are all available (in some form) from this website.
Our prototypes themselves are not designed solely for traditional Open Learning, but include a remit to show how that innovation can and will change learning at all levels and in all forms; in education, at work and play.
