  • Literacy and Health Wearables
    Publication . Madeira, Filipe; Madeira, João
    The increasing use of smart health devices is causing relevant behavioral changes, introducing new forms of health promotion. However, most of these interventions are the result of a self-personal, derived from each one's knowledge of their state of health and considering the goals that each one establishes for themselves. These devices usually have software applications designed to collect and display data, with the aim of reaching many users, irrespective of their literacy, health condition and socio-demographic characteristics.

  • A hybrid recommender strategy on an expanded content manager in formal learning
    Publication . Madeira, Filipe; Quaresma, Rui; Abreu, S.
    The main topic of this paper is to find ways to improve learning in a formal Higher Education Area. In this environment, the teacher publishes or suggests contents that support learners in a given course, as supplement of classroom training. Generally, these materials are pre-stored and not changeable. These contents are typically published in learning management systems (the Moodle platform emerges as one of the main choices) or in sites created and maintained on the web by teachers themselves. These scenarios typically include a specific group of students (class) and a given period of time (semester or school year). Contents reutilization often needs replication and its update requires new edition and new submission by teachers. Normally, these systems do not allow learners to add new materials, or to edit existing ones. The paper presents our motivations, and some related concepts and works. We describe the concepts of sequencing and navigation in adaptive learning systems, followed by a short presentation of some of these systems. We then discuss the effects of social interaction on the learners’ choices. Finally, we refer some more related recommender systems and their applicability in supporting learning. One central idea from our proposal is that we believe that students with the same goals and with similar formal study time can benefit from contents' assessments made by learners that already have completed the same courses and have studied the same contents. We present a model for personalized recommendation of learning activities to learners in a formal learning context that considers two systems. In the extended content management system, learners can add new materials, select materials from teachers and from other learners, evaluate and define the time spent studying them. Based on learner profiles and a hybrid recommendation strategy, combining conditional and collaborative filtering, our second system will predict learning activities scores and offers adaptive and suitable sequencing learning contents to learners. We propose that similarities between learners can be based on their evaluation interests and their recent learning history. The recommender support subsystem aims to assist learners at each step suggesting one suitable ordered list of LOs, by decreasing order of relevance. The proposed model has been implemented in the Moodle Learning Management System (LMS), and we present the system’s architecture and design.
  • Estratégia hibrida de recomendações sobre um gestor de conteúdos ampliado em ensino formal
    Publication . Madeira, Filipe; Quaresma, Rui; Abreu, Salvador
    Este artigo tem por objetivo apresentar um Modelo para Recomendação Personalizada de conteúdos de aprendizagem, baseado numa estratégia de recomendação híbrida e no perfil de cada aluno. Incluímos uma proposta para a similaridade entre alunos que reflete os seus interesses em termos das avaliações pretendidas e da proximidade das sequências de atividades de aprendizagem dos diversos alunos. Este modelo prevê, igualmente, a inclusão de novos conteúdos por parte dos alunos e a definição de relacionamentos com os conteúdos existentes. São abordadas as motivações que nos levaram à presente proposta, alguns conceitos e trabalhos relacionados, assim como a arquitetura e desenho da solução, entretanto alvo de protótipo. Por fim são tecidas algumas conclusões.

    A promoção da saúde em meio escolar, a inovação e a necessidade de recentrar a ação nos resultados implica o desenvolvimento de intervenções mais adequadas à população jovem, privilegiando as tecnologias de informação. Integrando uma visão alargada, o projeto “Your PEL Promover e Empoderar para a Literacia em saúde na população jovem” tem como finalidade ajudar esta geração a atingir a plenitude do seu potencial de saúde e integra três áreas específicas: alimentação, consumos nocivos e sexualidade. No âmbito de uma das atividades do projeto, um grupo de alunos, seu professor e um investigador desenvolveram um sítio web destinado a disseminar informação credível e pronta a ser apreendida e reutilizada por adolescentes 3º ciclo do ensino básico português. O trabalho desenvolvido visa a integração de conteúdos de diversas redes sociais e pretende que os mesmos sejam adequados e atrativos para o publico alvo de adolescentes. Health promotion in schools, innovation, and the need to refocus action on results imply the development of more appropriate interventions for youths, namely using IT. The project "Your PEL to Promote and Empower for Health Literacy in the Young Population", using a broad concept, aims to help this generation reach the fullness of its health potential and integrates three specific areas: food, harmful consumption, and sexuality. As part of one of the activities of the project, a group of students, their teacher, and a researcher, developed a website to disseminate credible, attractive, and adequate information for adolescents of 3rd cycle of Portuguese basic education. The work integrates content from various social networks sites and intends to be adequate and attractive for the target audience (adolescents).
