Crossmedia personalized learning contexts

Abstract

The trends in convergence, integration and co-existence of various media technologies are creating new opportunities for the globalization of learning practices. The emerging era of lifelong learning is calling for flexible environments. Interactive television (iTV) holds a great potential in this scenario, but there is still limited research in terms of cognitive and interaction aspects. With the aim to link these opportunities, in flexible, adequate and effective learning contexts, a new paradigm to generate crossmedia personalized learning contexts from iTV, based on cognitive and affective aspects, is being studied. This paper presents the results obtained from the use of the e-iTV system, designed to illustrate and explore this paradigm.
