Book Description
The emergence of social networks, OpenCourseWare, Massive Open Online Courses, informal remote learning and connectivist approaches to learning has made the analysis and evaluation of Digital Learning Environments more complex. Modeling these complex systems makes it possible to transcribe the phenomena observed and facilitates the study of these processes with the aid of specific tools. Once this essential step is taken, it then becomes possible to develop plausible scenarios from the observation of emerging phenomena and dominant trends. This book highlights the contribution of complex systems theory in the study of next generation Digital Learning Environments. It describes a realistic approach and proposes a range of effective management tools to achieve it.

Book Description
An increasing recognition of the role of the human-system interface is leading to new extensions and styles of specification. Techniques are being developed that facilitate the expression of user-oriented requirements and the refinement and checking of specifications of interactive systems. This book reflects the state of the art in this important area and also contains a summary of working group discussions about how the various techniques represented might be applied to a common case study.

Book Description
Multimedia systems result from the merging of the computing, communications and broadcasting industries. This merging has been made possible today by the technical advances in high speed broadband networks, computer desktop workstations, and information storage and compression techniques.Currently, text and image are the predominant forms of information exchanged over the Internet. However, there are clear signs that the situation is rapidly changing with the recent emergence of multimedia applications in the area of education, business, e-commerce and entertainment — resulting, therefore, in increased consumption of network bandwidth and in the creation of a very large volume of information that needs to be processed and stored. This trend has made strong demands on the multimedia modeling research community to develop new semantic models that will further facilitate the creation, representation, manipulation and animation of multimedia content with a better level of granularity than what is possible to achieve with today's multimedia information systems.This volume explores issues associated with multimedia modeling information and systems and presents the current status of work in this field. It covers a broad range of theoretical, conceptual and practical topics and addresses the needs of a wide audience, including researchers, multimedia systems designers and users of multimedia systems.

Book Description
We are currently witnessing the launch and development of many new learning management system (LMS) innovations whose main objective is to meet society’s requirements and the knowledge economy, which is fully emerging. Understanding new LMS innovations is essential for the improvement of the training and learning processes. To effectively implement these new LMSs in the classroom, teachers and trainers need access to real-life cases in which these methods were successfully used. New smart LMSs should be easy to use and to administer online educational content to ensure better adaptation to course teaching and learning styles. Therefore, it is necessary to find a method of modeling for all types of LMS. By combining learning theories that have long inspired the design of computer applications and putting them into perspective with emerging education features, a new smart LMS can be developed and studied. Modeling and Prototyping New Smart Learning Management Systems is a critical scholarly resource that examines current advances in educational innovation and presents cases that allow for the improvement of personalized and active learning. It examines diverse issues of social, organizational, economic, cultural, and technological context related to internal and external management of learning and teaching and their technological improvements. The chapters cover issues, methods, models, constructs, solution applications, or specific architectures and theories in LMS and feature a wide range of topics such as higher education, teacher education, and learning strategies. This book is ideal for graduate-level students, researchers and industry practitioners, engineers, research scientists/academicians, educational administrators, educational professionals, teachers and professors, and researchers involved in practical applications of engineering-pedagogical and didactic aspects in learning management systems.

Book Description
The goal for ergonomics has always been to adapt work, work environments, and machines to humans. But is this goal still sufficient? Does it satisfy the needs of the individual or of societies and organizations as they operate now? Constructive Ergonomics provides an answer to these questions. Rooted both in the academic world and in the world of p

Book Description
In this dynamic review and synthesis of empirical research and theoretical discussion of design as cognitive activity, Willemien Visser reconciles and integrates the classical view of design, as conceptualized by Herbert Simon's symbolic information processing approach, with modern views of design such as the situativity approach, as formulated by Donald Schon. The author goes on to develop her own view on design, in which design is most appropriately characterized as a construction of representations. She lays the groundwork for the integration of design research and cognitive science. This seemingly simple framework has implications that set the stage for this mutually beneficial integration.
