Web-based multimedia authoring and presentation framework for children's art cultivation
No full text[[abstract]]This paper proposes a web-based multimedia authoring and presentation framework to facilitate online pieces creation, sharing, and reuse in e-learning applications. Through the easy-to-use interface of the cutomized tools, students are allowed to create their own pieces online and then Share with friends in a very easy way. To make the presentation of the piece more interesting, the authoring tool provides the capturing mechanism that record all Significant authoring steps as synchronization information: temporal and spatial relations between composed objects. Synchronization module in rendering function enables users (author and receiver) to replay a vivid, animated multimedia presentation in a form of as close as possible to the original sense. A prototype has been implemented in a website especially designed for young student art learning, which has being conducted by the Military of Education, Taiwan, since 2003. The experimental results show that this hands-or, experience in creating and sharing indeed benefits the efficacy of web-based e-learning.[[note]]SC

No full textFinding Hy-Brasil: The Gateway Between Reality And Unreality
No full textThrough Irish history, different spiritual demands in specific historical moments impacts on the legends of Hy-Brasil. In turn, the stories of Hy-Brasil reflects the history of Ireland through its possible position, appearances, items events, viewpoints gateways and monuments. The project is to use the history of Hy-Brasil, a mystical island of Ireland, to explore the architecture of myth, which are expected to be triggered and formed by the current situation of Ireland. It looks to design a pragmatic space by providing a gateway to the mythic island of Hy-Brasil. Siting on the north end the Ireland, the Lough Foyle in Donegal, the project constructs an architectural artifact out of a particular strata of Ireland’s specific geology and monumental landscape to take people into the imagination and expectation of perceive the Irish mythology.The Berlage Post-MSc in Architecture and Urban Desig
WMA: A Marking-Based Synchronized Multimedia Tutoring System for English Composition Studies
No full text[[abstract]]This paper presents a system, Web-based Multimedia Annotation (WMA) system, for English as Foreign Language learning in writing skills. The whole correcting process, including the instructor's voice and navigation events (i.e., tele-pointer (cursor), highlight, pen strokes, markings and annotations), can be captured through our system for later access. We address the issues of exploring involved media correlation to benefit adaptable presentation in a synchronization manner from temporal, spatial and content domains. The proposed computed synchronization techniques include speech-event binding process in the temporal domain, tele-pointer movement interpolation and adaptable handwriting presentation in the spatial domain, and visualized annotation erasing in the content domain. The experimental results show that in the speech-event binding process 74% of speech access entries for accessible visualized annotations are found. The acceptable rate of human perception of tele-pointer movement is higher than 85% if time interval is selected carefully. The accuracy of visualized annotation erasing for content removal is about 71%. Our user study shows that students can devote their efforts to writing practice because they can better understand their own mistakes corrected by the instructors using this multimedia presentation.[[note]]SC
