Models and Technologies for Providing Education and Awareness Services at a Large Scale (EASe)
Scope
Educational and awareness services share a lot of technological solutions, as well as provisioning models. Web technologies allow one to have access to educational resources previously reserved to small groups of people; education has transcended its classical forms, by using wikis, social media, ontologies, Cloud Computing, mobile applications, virtual reality, and gamification. This workshop will bring together specialists in e-Learning and researchers interested in models, systems and services for increasing the population awareness regarding various hazards, like earthquakes, floods, pollution, or industrial accidents.
Topics of interest
The workshop's topics are:
- Reengineering learning process models due to the adoption of new technologies
- Social media support for education and awareness services
- Collective awareness and early warning platforms for territorial and social vulnerabilities
- Providing education and awareness services related to natural, industrial, and social hazards
- Geographical information systems for educational purposes
- Web and semantic technologies applied in eLearning and awareness systems
- E-Learning systems deployed in Cloud environments
- Mobile applications for education and awareness
Expected results
Our aim is to identify common challenges and solutions, and to analyse the similarities in terms of platforms, scale, requirements, visualization techniques, representation of knowledge. The outcome expected in the long run is a community of scientists for an integrated approach of education, equally covering traditional programs, personal enrichment and public awareness.
