Cognitive overload, confusion and disorientation are common drawbacks in e-learning. To cope with these difficulties, this work suggests a course structure focused on the activity. This proposal also tries to help learners by improving guidance and interaction with the structure by means of information visualization techniques, which have proven to be useful in other domains. Students would carry out their learning process through a set of activities, which can be accessed from four information spaces (i.e. competences and objectives, scheduling, table of contents and assessment). Hence, this proposal should help students in their daily work.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
