HCI and the educational technology revolution
No full textWhile educational technology has a long pedigree, the last few years have seen dramatic changes. These have included the rise and institutionalisation of MOOCs, and other web-based initiatives such as Kahn Academy and Peer-to-Peer University (P2PU). Classrooms have also been transformed with growing use of mobile devices and forms of flipped classroom; and educational progress and engagement has been increasingly measured leading to institutional and individual learning analytics. This workshop seeks to understand the interaction of these issues with human-computer interaction in a number of ways. First to ask what HCI has to contribute to these in terms of the design of authoring and learning platforms, and the wider socio-political implications of increasingly metric-driven governance? Second to discuss how will these changes affect HCI education? Together practice-based and theoretical approaches will help us build a clear understanding of the current state and future challenges for educational technology and HCI. © 2016 Copyright held by the owner/author(s)

No full textAwakening Aesop: The Fables Revisted
No full textHere is one of the more curious items in our collection. It is a personalized publication, including a protective cover, with my address, and a dedication page offering pictures of me small and large and "Thank You Aesop For Giving Us Such Wonderful Fables!" Two introductory pages present "Aesop: The Legend"; "The Fables"; and "The Illustrator." The middle section concludes with this statement: "These fables have not been sleeping, but the 'awakening' will be our own intelligent response to them." Bravo! A T of C presents then four fables: SW; CP; TB; and "The Fox and the Woodman." Each story has its own title-page. Then each left-hand page of story text has an elaborate initial and a corresponding right-hand full-page illustration with an appropriate title at its lower edge. SW is told in the poorer form. The travelers in TB are pictured as Native Americans. A quick search suggests that the texts are from Thomas James in his 1848 edition illustrated by John Tenniel. I cooperated in the construction of this book by sending my picture and the dedication line.No Autho
Edouard Vuillermoz and Dix Pièces Mélodiques
No full textabstract: ABSTRACT
Edouard Vuillermoz (1869-1939) was a horn player and teacher who studied and later taught at the Paris Conservatory during the early twentieth century. As did many of the professors from the Conservatory, Vuillermoz published works for the horn. Unfortunately, his name has largely faded into obscurity and most of his works are no longer in print, yet one has remained in the repertoire and is still available for purchase today—Dix Pièces Mélodiques. Published in 1927 by Alphonse-Leduc, Vuillermoz desired for his students a set of etudes that would teach mastery of transposition, but he was not a composer. The ten transposition exercises he created were selected and transcribed from a compilation of vocalises commissioned by a vocal professor at the Conservatory, Amédée-Louis Hettich (1856-1937).
Hettich desired vocalise-etudes that would able aid and inspire his students, so he commissioned over one-hundred-fifty vocalises by modern composers during the first half of the twentieth century. Composers including Bozza, Copland, Dukas, Fauré, Messiaen, Nielsen, Ravel, and Tomasi answered his call for works between 1906 and 1938. These modern vocalise-etudes have since disappeared from the vocal repertoire. Now, a century later, many of these studies have entered the public domain and are resurfacing as instrumental transcriptions and concert etudes. This study promotes awareness of Edouard Vuillermoz’s Dix Pièces Mélodiques and advocates for their inclusion in a modern revival.Dissertation/ThesisDoctoral Dissertation Music 201

The Stable Semantics and its Variants: A Comparison of Recent Approaches
No full textThe stable and the well-founded semantics are among the leading semantics for logic programs. While stable models do not always exist (and therefore no meaningful inferences can be drawn), the (threevalued) well-founded model is always defined. A weakness of WFS on the other hand is its inability to allow for reasoning-by-cases. We claim that - besides the inconsistency problem - the reason of the anomalous behavior of STABLE is the failure of Relevance -- a principle introduced in previous work of the first author. We define, discuss and compare various extensions of STABLE and WFS under both aspects. In particular, we determine the relationship with the approach recently introduced by J. Schlipf. We use our own approach to show that Schlipf's semantics WFSC coincides with Dix' WFS +
