TRAILS

A 12-month Jointly Executed Integrating Research Project (JEIRP) within the kaleidoscope Network of Excellence.

>> Official TRAILS Homepage

Aims:

• To apply new technologies to the challenge of trail-support in e-Learning.
• To investigate how different types of learning objects can be represented within an e-Learning system supporting trails.
• To study an ontology for trails of learning objects with an e-Learning system, which is compatible with Semantic Web technologies.
• To investigate personalisation and collaboration within an e-Learning system supporting trails.
• To integrate presently scattered activity in Europe which is relevant to this challenge.

Participants:

• London Knowledge Lab
• SCO-Kohnstamm Institute, University of Amsterdam
• School of Computer Science, Queen's University Belfas
• Cognitive Science Section, University of Graz
• Institute of Educational Technology, The Open University, UK
• e-Learning Unit of STREAM Technology Center, SchlumbergerSema Madrid
• TeaM Lab, Informatics Methodology Group, Eotvos Lorand University, Budapest
• Equipe ARCADE, Laboratoire CLIPS - IMAG, Grenoble
