Si tratta di un progetto di ricerca sull'innovazione didattica connessa con l'avvento delle nuove tecnologie nel sistema scolastico. L'obietttivo principale e' lo studio delle modalità di inserimento delle tecnologie dell'informazione e della comunicazione a scuola in prospettiva di eccellenza dei risultati di competenza acquisita presso il massimo numero di allievi e di inclusione dell'intera comunità degli studenti

Interaction Design for Children - IDC 2009
No full textFor young people today, technology is pervasive in many aspects of life. From childhood onwards, they learn and play using computers and other technological devices; as they grow, they build and maintain friendships using computers and mobile phones; they interact with one another virtually; and even find critical interpersonal support and therapy using computers, the web, and other technology-enhanced artifacts.
The IDC 2009 conference will continue IDC's tradition of better understanding children’s and youngsters’ needs in relationship to technology, exploring how to create interactive products for and with them, and investigating how technology-mediated experiences affect their life.
IDC 2009 will present and discuss the most innovative contributions to research, development, and practice in these areas, gathering the leading minds in the field.
As in previous years, IDC 2009 would like to invite researchers to address the wide diversification of technology for young people, from computers to mobile phones to any form of “smart” interactive device, and to consider the requirements of different profiles, in terms of age (from very young children to adolescents) and of psychological, social, or physical needs. In addition, IDC 2009 would like to foster an investigation of technological and methodological issues related not only to learning and play, but also to social awareness of young people in relationship to environment, cultural heritage, cultural roots of minorities, local identity vs. wider community identity. Finally, IDC 2009 would like to explore interaction design for young people in the family context and from an adult’s perspective, e.g., how to help parents understand and master the complexity of a scenario in which technology is more and more part of their children’s life.
The program will include full-day and half day workshops, invited talks by prestigious speakers, panels, papers sessions, posters and demos sessions. Social events will complement the scientific program and will be a chance for participants to meet and discuss in the context of a gorgeous informal setting, and to build future collaborations.
This conference builds on the successes and high standards of the previous IDC conferences (IDC 2008 in Chicago, US, IDC 2007 in Aalborg, Denmark, IDC 2006 in Tampere, Finland, IDC 2005 in Boulder, USA, IDC 2004 in Maryland, USA, IDC 2003 in Preston, UK and IDC 2002 in Eindhoven, the Netherlands)
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
From digital to physical spaces and comeback. Some feedback on city transformations.
No full textThis work aims to connect the new information technologies with the transformations they have triggered on physical environment. If from one side is possible to understand that new information technologies create several possibilities for social relations, and for the exchange of information and knowledge, from the other side, it is still difficult to recognize how these technologies are distributed in physical space and what are the influences that they have in our everyday life. One of the main difficulties to read ICT effects on the physical Word is that: as they are ephemeral and in many cases invisible, is not always possible to know their position in space and to map their presence. Many recent researches are focused on the understanding of this relation. A survey conducted on the State Library of Queensland’s by Dan Hill, for example, showed that the distribution of the WI-FI system inside the building influenced the localization of people. This is true both at the scale of the single building as well as at the city scale. Matthew Zook underlines that even if Internet is a horizontal network, it grows around some hubs. Zook’s work highlights that the most important hubs correspond to the Word Global Cities, suggesting that the development of new information technologies contributes to make those cities more competitive. These two examples demonstrate that the presence of ICT contributes to raise the concentration of people and business, intensifying networking capacity. It has become clear that ICT influenced our lifestyle, reducing the distances between people, increasing our capacity to make relations and, as a consequence, creating new possibilities and new reasons to live and to travel trough a wider territory. At the same time, people using ICT are sensors making possible to analyse the physical world and the on-going transformations. Going through some research projects that use innovative technologies to study urban space, we will understand the importance of this tool to comprehend the processes in act
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
