“…The EMS system has three modules: real‐time data, manually collected data and spatial data types. The system is adaptable to new types of environmental data, and allows for manual and automated data entry, customised ‘data entry at source’ mechanisms, and uses flexible tools to analyse captured environmental data and present them visually. The result of paper [34] is creating Web3D educational stories from crowd‐sourced annotations. To this end, a novel software architecture is proposed to create attractive stories that can be shared on the Web.…”

Systematic literature review on software architecture of educational websites

The modern world greatly depends on information systems and the software that governs them. The software architecture defines and designs the holistic structure that the software will have, its components, the interaction between them and all the development is done around it. The purpose of this systematic literature review (SLR) is to analyse the software architectures used in educational websites, methodologies, technological components and empirical results. The search of the SLR yielded 23 studies from the most significant academic sources in education and software engineering. The results of the SLR show that the analysed educational websites were proposing a software architecture, developing a system, proposing a model, assessing of a platform, proposing a Folksonomy-Based Ontology Maintenance, reviewing smart home design, and proposing a Web-based platform to aid parallel, distributed and high-performance computing education. Of the 23 selected studies, 13 carried out an evaluation of their research with either students, teachers, professionals or a combination of these. In conclusion, the selected studies present narrated experiments of projects or individuals that seek to improve collaborative learning in the educational area. Finally, an important finding is that the proposed software architectures do not contemplate laws or quality standards for universal access.This is an open access article under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits use, distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.

“…The integrated corpus of knowledge is then exploited for supporting visitors 'learning, content construction by museum personnel, and historical analysis by professionals. Similar to this approach, in Gatto and Pittarello (2014) the authors propose a method to derive annotations for Web-3D educational narratives from a crowdsourcing paradigm. These augmentation processes are in line with our research, which aims to enrich the semantics of digital artifacts to facilitate the activities of smart-visit designers.…”

The growing availability of smart objects is stimulating researchers to investigate the Internet of Things (IoT) phenomenon from different perspectives. The potential of this technology is evident in different domains. In Cultural Heritage (CH), it may enhance access to CH collections, in order to ensure a more engaging visit experience and to increase the appropriation of CH content by visitors. So far, research on IoT has primarily focused on tech-nical features of smart objects (e.g., how to program sensors and actuators), while there are very few approaches trying to facilitate the adoption of such a technology by end users. This lack limits the social and practical ben-efits of IoT; it creates barriers in all those usage scenarios where people would like to define the behavior of smart objects but they might not have the required programming skills. This is becoming evident in CH sites, where different stakeholders would benefit from managing ecosystems of interoperable smart objects to create enhanced visit experiences. This article presents a visual composition paradigm that allows non-programmers to synchronize the behavior of smart objects, thus determining more engaging user experiences. It discusses how the paradigm suites the need of curators and guides of CH sites to define smart visit experiences through which visitors can acquire CH content by interacting with the surrounding environment and the smart objects included in it. A serious game designed with professional guides of CH sites is used as a case study to show the potential of the presented approach.

“…For example ToBoA-3D permits students to annotate a set of 3D architecture components after a lesson focused on classical orders and then the teacher to check the annotations made by each student, marked with the student's ID. Further details about the ToBoA-3D functionalities are available in [2].…”

“…It can be used for collaborative annotation, navigation and search of 3D worlds; the users can even add new 3D environments to the web repository and share them with the other users. The latest evolution of the platform [2] introduces the possibility to create educational stories on the top of the annotated worlds and to share them on the web. While ToBoA-3D can be personalized for different knowledge domains, so far the development has been focused on art and architecture.…”

Abstract-This work presents an evaluation of ToBoA-3D, a social web platform for the annotation of 3D models and the creation of stories. ToBoA-3D was evaluated through a pilot study realized in a real educational context, the 2014 edition of the Fall School in Digital Humanities, held at the Università Ca' Foscari Venezia in collaboration with theÉcole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). The tool was presented during the School's lectures and then used by the students for creating stories during the labs' activities. The results of the study were collected through direct observation and a questionnaire. The answers evidenced positive feedbacks for the core features of the platform and led to define an initial set of guidelines for its educational use.
