    The University of Milan launched an on-line didactic project to support students with integrated materials with the intent to help particularly those ones in difficult because non attending some course or disease affected. These first aims made possible to create WebCen. The project involved also in the creation of simple instruments for the publication of shared materials not only by teacher's expert in Information Technologies.The success of the initiative induced the search of other advanced instruments to make possible to share more kind of information that are not only textual ones, but also video and audio lessons. The improvement of the platform make today possible to share also experiences among students and a better dialog between students and teachers.The adoption of the SCORM standard let possible the cooperation between University and Secondary level schools, to share information and to better prepare students of last years of Secondary schools to the access to University, on the basis of a preparation with a common language finalized to University studies

    This paper reports on an active role played by the students of the Digital Communication degree at the School of Sciences of the University of Milan, Italy, to develop e-learning supports both in their university and in the high schools where they studied previously. Creating and maintaining portal websites, discussion forums, learning objects to be exchanged, and more recently, an interactive video-journal that’s accessible on mobile phones and WEB-TV, have enhanced the learning process both in the University of Milan and in the aforementioned high schools, through the use of new digital technologies in order to supplement the traditional teaching methods in the classroom, that are bound to the dimensions of space (location) and time. Explanations and feedback regarding the lectures in class are made available through videos uploaded to our WEBCEN server in the LCAD University Research Laboratory, while teaching support is implemented by a community effort which involves teachers as well. Results achieved are measured through the reduction in the amount of insufficient marks among the students at the end of each Academic Year. Interactive Digital Television (IDTV) has opened new frontiers for the diffusion of e-learning support platforms, and when internet connection and internet-based content will also be available on IDTV networks starting from the Spring of 2009, the amount of interaction will reach a new and more significant dimension. Hypertexts will also play a key role in the reachability and fruition of our e-learning support and Interactive VideoJournal applications in multiple platforms with internet connection capability

    Young Italian people seem to prefer spending time on innovative features of new technological items rather than to learn traditional subjects studying on textbooks, as it shows their familiarity with communication devices such as mobile phones, MP3, iPOD and socialization environment such as social Web. This paper reports on an active role played by students in the Digital Communication degree of Unimi, to develop e-learning supports both in their university curriculum and in the High-Schools. Creating and maintaining portal websites, forums, LO to be exchanged, and more recently an interactive audio and video portal accessible on mobile and on PC, become learning by doing vehicles to teach new digital technologies and to supplement traditional time & location bounded teaching in classroom. Explanations become available through videos uploaded to our UnimiTube server in the LCAD Research Laboratory, teaching support is implemented by a community effort involving teachers as well

    For some time now in Italy, new technologies have attracted the interest of young people, they are the primary users of new communication devices such as smart-phones, tablets, iPad and iPod, and socialization environments such as social networks, to an extent that they use them as main tool for studying traditional subjects, rather than textbooks. On the other hand, students’ abilities in Italian High-schools and Universities are seriously decaying in the ranking of OCSE and in other international statistics while national instructional budget ranks at top. This document describes the development of e-learning 2.0 support for both the university and secondary school, experience in which the students of the Digital Communication Degree of the University of Milan have had an active role. A community effort with the involvement of teachers, allowing the creation and maintenance of websites, forums and WebTV portals, also accessible through mobile phones, resources for teaching new digital technologies while breaking the traditional “time & place” bound of the classroom. Lessons and homework become available through video uploaded to our server in Research Laboratory. Results achieved will be measured by reduced insufficient marks at the end of this Academic Year

    The aim of this research is to analyze how the knowledge is actually shared and define how the digital communications can impact on social behaviour. Main goal is to realize a new interactive system that, using a different and innovative concept, can spread and aggregate the knowledge using different component: 1) Professional knowledge: experts create contents 2) Multichannel: users benefit by access in digital form Web, ITV, iPhone, smart-phone, podcast, iPad 3) Social web. What described here above could be realize developing a new generation of Social Knowledge Management System; this is an evolution of existing the CMS. The initial phase will investigate state-of-the art on scientific literature and will provide a benchmark for a prototype applications. This phase will establish the outcomes of the SKMS. The second phase will produce the statements of the key requirement. The third phase will consist of the development of system and will include the test using users

    An innovative didactic experiment in the context of the Jurisprudence Faculty of the Milan University

    In Italy Universities/Secondary schools are discovering new media channels as tools to close students to traditional matters, using new approaches closer to their behaviors renewing teaching methodologies. Moreover teaching systems seem to be still too traditional, because they often suppose students as passive users of information. Additionally, new technologies are used just to transpose traditional messages in a new media and not rethinking the shape of the contents.In our experiment we tried to directly involve students in the process of creating a University course, applying the concept of “learn-by-doing”. In a context historically far from technology, like the Faculty of Jurisprudence of the University of Milan, we obtained very satisfactory results both from the viewpoint of the contents and from the viewpoint of the technology application. This approach has been integrated into the learning process through a teaching methodology with enhanced outcomes when compared with traditional classroom learning
