The aim of this chapter is to contribute to David Hestenes’ vision - formulated on his web-site 1 - of desiging a universal geometric calculus based on geometric algebra. To this purpose we introduce a framework for geometric computations which we call geo-MAP (geo-Metric-Affine-Projective) unification. It makes use of geometric algebra to embed the representation of euclidean, affine and projective geometry in a way that enables coherent shifts between these different perspectives. To illustrate the versatility and usefulness of this framework, it is applied to a classical problem of plane geometrical optics, namely how to compute the envelope of the rays emanating from a point source of light after they have been reflected in a smoothly curved mirror. Moreover, in the appendix, we present a simple proof of the fact that the ‘natural basis candidate’ of a geometric algebra - the set of finite subsets of its formal variables - does in fact form a vector space basis for the algebra. This theorem opens the possibility of a deductive presentation of geometric algebra to a wider audience.

Geometric algebra is a new fundamental language for the mathematics of computer graphics, modeling, and interactive techniques. It is especially useful for handling geometric problems, since it allows for intrinsic (coordinate-free) and dimensionally seamless descriptions of geometry. It has generated new insights and improved algorithms in a wide array of computer graphics applications: kinematics and dynamics, simplicial calculations (polygons, FEM), fluid flow, collision detection, hierarchical bounding spheres, boxes, quaternion splines on spheres, elastic deformations, curve and surface definition, vector fields, etc.

This paper introduces a computational framework - termeddiscrete integration-which presents an algebraic interpretation of integration that captures the combinatorialaspects of the fundamental theorem of calculus at a finite level. This facilitatesdiscrete approximations of integrals that are evaluated over smooth geometric configurations,since it enables their numerical approximation within the same conceptualspace. It also makes possible a discrete version of the differential and integral calculusover various function classes. We illustrate these ideas in the case of polynomial functions- establishing a scale-invariant way to compute with sums of polynomialsdefined on simplexes1.

Personal learning environments (PLEs) evolved as a response to the limitations on self-regulated learning posed by institutional control of learning environments, such as Learning Management Systems. Smart learning environments (SLEs) have more recently come to refer to various technological enhancements of learning environments. However, there is a tension between ‘personal’ and ‘smart’, which this paper investigates through the experiences of the TELL ME project. The project focused on the learning of blue-collar workers in Europe’s manufacturing sector. The resulting aim was to support the awareness of ‘intentions’ and ‘realizations’ and the reciprocities between these across five phases, collectively referred to as MEMO-E: mix, enquire, match, optimize, and experience. Perspectives of the project on the themes, interactions, and philosophy of SLEs and PLEs are explained, a framework for intentions and realizations is introduced, and the characteristics of an evolvable reference architecture for smart and personal learning environments are presented.

Metadata allows systems, applications and users to manage and access resources without a need for interaction with the resource itself. For this reason, the administration and exchange of metadata is a central activity in systems that manage learning objects. Metadata considerations are fundamental when creating interoperable e-learning tools, and metadata standards have been among the very first learning technology standards to mature.

In 2005 the European Hematology Association developed the European Hematology Curriculum. This was distributed as a printed booklet and the intention was that junior hematologist could use it for personal competence development. In the EU-funded project H-net this Curriculum has been adapted into the a web environment by using RDF and placed inside a web portfolio system. How this is done is further described in this article. Furthermore, the possibilities of reusing the curriculum in ways that was not initially intended is described, such as describing Learning Resources inside the web-portfolio system with how they relate to different parts of the curriculum. That way a search for learning resources inside the portfolio by using the curriculum is enabled. And, since the medical field of hematology is closely related to other medical fields the design of the web-version of the curriculum was done in a way that builds for possible combination with any other curriculum in another med...

Abstract: It is well known that the current state of mathematics education is problematic in many countries. The Interactive Learning Environments group at CID (Centre for user-oriented IT Design) at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) has developed an avatar-based shared virtual environment called CyberMath, aimed at improving this situation by allowing interaction with mathematical content in new and exciting ways. CyberMath is suitable for exploring and teaching mathematics in situations where both the teacher and the students are co-present and physically separated. In this virtual reality environment the participants are represented by avatars. The space concept in virtual environments is different from that of any known physical space. Yet people seem to perceive, for example, chat rooms and bulletin board systems as places. Still, avatars have limited possibilities for non-verbal expressions, such as body language, which are important in order to improve the communication...

The Web puts a huge number of learning resources within reach of anyone with Internet access. However, many valuable resources are difficult to find due to the lack of interoperability among learning repositories. In order to achieve interoperability, implementers require a common query framework.

The methods proposed can be used by a source for configuring ...

This deliverable addresses the challenges of developing an integrative framework for appraising and optimising production tasks, associated business models and training, and available workspaces and workplaces. The integration leads to additional innovations, notably the concept of “flexible placification” of production, by which we mean the support for experimentation with different physical deployment schemes for various parts of the production process. The overarching aim is to be able to extend the integrative framework to provide WorkPlace as enhanced Service (WPaaS++), where the enhancements are concerned with the augmentation of the performance of work-users of a workplace. The main idea behind how we support the deployment of intentional schemes (= business models) is to separate consideration of Spaces and Places, in our case WorkSpaces and WorkPlaces. WorkSpaces express the intentions of the underlying business model, and WorkPlaces express the deployment (= physical local...

This paper describes an approach for collaborative construction of artifacts, such as e.g. graphical maps and annotatable text documents, without requiring write-access to a common single file. Our approach is applicable to any kind of artifacts that can be divided into separate contributions, where each one is authored and stored independently, and, on request, merged into the artifact. The goal is to move col-laboration issues from the files where artifacts are expressed, to an in-formation directory. This information directory manages information around artifacts and keeps track of existing contributions to artifacts. Our prototype of such an information directory, named Collaborilla, is designed to be a flexible service, which can be updated by anyone in a wiki-style manner. With this approach, viewing a collaboratively constructed artifact gives each viewer the control of including or ex-cluding various contributions. Moreover, each viewer can easily choose to participate and p...

This article addresses the problems of specialization and fragmentation that are presently threatening the future of human civilization as we know it – with the aim to contribute towards enabling a more informed and unified perspective on the 'big' questions that confront us today, the answers to which will determine our future. We present communicative ways to model the transmission and evolution of the processes and artefacts of a culture as the result of a sequence of interac-tions between its members -both at the tacit and the explicit level. The overall purpose of communicative modelling is to create models that improve the quality of communication between people, and we try to do so here by providing a set of semantically rich conceptual 'placeholders' for modelling the intra-, inter-, and supra-actions of any organizational or cultural entity that is considered to be "important enough to deserve attention" within a certain context. In order to captur...

This deliverable addresses the challenges of developing an integrative framework for appraising and optimising production tasks, associated business models and training, and available workspaces and workplaces. The integration leads to additional innovations, notably the concept of “flexible placification” of production, by which we mean the support for experimentation with different physical deployment schemes for various parts of the production process. The overarching aim is to be able to extend the integrative framework to provide WorkPlace as enhanced Service (WPaaS++), where the enhancements are concerned with the augmentation of the performance of work-users of a workplace. The main idea behind how we support the deployment of intentional schemes (= business models) is to separate consideration of Spaces and Places, in our case WorkSpaces and WorkPlaces. WorkSpaces express the intentions of the underlying business model, and WorkPlaces express the deployment (= physical local...

Organizational learning can be considered as systemic behaviour oriented to acquire ca- pacities for dealing with the needs and challenges of organizations in competitive environ- ments. This entails that there must be some measurable and flexible concept that drives the acquisition of those capacities. Competencies understood as the workplace capabilities of individuals or groups can be used as one of

SW-EL'04 will focus on issues related to using concepts, ontologies and semantic web technologies to build e-learning applications. It follows the successful workshop on Concepts and Ontologies in Web-based Educational Systems, held in conjunctions with ICCE'2002 in Auckland, New Zealand. Due to the great interest, the 2004 edition of the workshop will be organized in three sessions held at three different conferences. The aim is to discuss the current problems in e-learning from different perspectives, including those ...

Metadata for the World Wide Web is important, but metadata for Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks is absolutely crucial. In this paper we discuss the open source project Edutella which builds upon metadata standards defined for the WWW and aims to provide an RDF-based metadata infrastructure for P2P applications. Edutella is the first system which brings together RDF and P2P concepts and exploits their strengths in a common framework, suitable for building general schema-based P2P networks for distributed and dynamic information providers. We describe the goals and main services this infrastructure will provide and the architecture to connect Edutella Peers based on exchange of RDF metadata. As the query service is one of the core services of Edutella, upon which other services are built, we specify in detail the Edutella Common Data Model (ECDM) as basis for the Edutella query exchange language (RDF-QEL-i) and format implementing distributed queries over the Edutella network. Finally, we ...

This paper presents the Knowledge Manifold educational architecture and a number of tools (developed by the KMR group), which enable the construction of interactive mathematics learning environments that support a learner-centric, interest-oriented form of "knowledge pull". They include the Virtual Mathematics Laboratorium, constructed with the Conzilla concept browser, the Mathemagic™ portfolio built in the SCAM portfolio, and the CyberMath shared 3D virtual reality environment. The pedagogical aim of these tools is to increase the cognitive contact with mathematics, e.g. by modeling its contexts, visualizing its concepts and interacting with the geometrical forms behind its formulas.

Metadata allows systems, applications and users to manage and access resources without a need for interaction with the resource itself. For this reason, the administration and exchange of metadata is a central activity in systems that manage learning objects. Metadata considerations are fundamental when creating interoperable e-learning tools, and metadata standards have been among the very first learning technology standards to mature.

Knowledge and learning are social phenomena as well as human-centric. In simple terms, the deployment of emerging technologies in knowledge and learning requires the multilevel support of individuals, teams, communities and networks. The evolution of technologies has made difficult the distinction between the various levels of reference. Put simply, people are not isolated from their micro-or macro-environment. However, technology-supported information highways have developed unforeseen opportunities for knowledge and ...

Given the importance of an organisation's human capital to business success, aligning training and competency development with business needs is a key challenge. Many companies did initiate in the past knowledge management activities or founded corporate universities as the organization intended to help companies to face this challenge. In this deliverable, we talk about knowledge work and learning management as a concept to “increase business performance” through a better short-and long-term learning approach ...
