- 13. Responsive Web vs. Native Apps A current product design decision: just make a web product “friendly” for mobile screens or invest in developing a mobile application Responsive Web: • Requires an Internet Connection; • Poor Performance (Browser Limitations); • Lack of Natural Navigation; • Lack of Push Notifications; • Lack of Other Functionality (QR codes, voice recognition, AR, …).
- 14. Responsive Web vs. Native Apps Native Apps: • Internet Connection Not Always Necessary; • Better Performance; • Increased Functionality; • Enhanced Security for Users; • Brand Awareness and Accessibility; • High investment in time and money.

- 20. • Use gamification techniques to engage students; • Implement game mechanics involving students and teachers; • Use three different levels of problem complexity: beginners, intermediate and advanced (colours); • For each problem there are two levels of exercise resolution: detailed and concise (videos).

- 21. MILAGE - Results • Higher motivation to learn math; • Sharp increase in autonomous study; • Inclusion of low and high achievers; • Self-assessment and peer-assessment; • Collaboration and resource sharing.
- 26. Digital Storytelling Storytelling is based on a set of four elements that are still valid in the digital age, namely: • A narrator • A plot • A setting • Characters There is usually a conflict of some kind. Some common types of conflict may include: • Conflict between one person and another or between groups; • Conflict between a person and the natural environment; • Conflict between an individual and the society.
- 27. What are digital stories? Digital artifacts that include a compelling narration of a story; Elements that provide a meaningful context for understanding the story being told; Titles, images and graphics that capture and/or expand upon emotions found in the narrative; Voice, music and sound effects that reinforce ideas; Mechanisms that invite thoughtful reflection from the audience.
- 28. Storytelling Tips 1. Point of view (involves the communicator in making choices; a very subjective exercise) 2. Dramatic question (creating conflict to be resolved later; e. g. how did I survive the tsunami?) 3. Emotional content (challenge, frustration, humor, exhilaration, resignation, etc.) 4. Narration (voice over information) 5. Soundtrack (music and sound effects) 6. Economy (time for the viewer to process, reducing the amount of unnecessary elements) 7. Pacing (give your listener time to participate, to think, and to process your story)

Content Gamification "the use of game design elements in non-game contexts" (Deterding et al., 2011, p.1) • Points: points are fantastic motivators and can be used to reward users/students across multiple levels or dimensions of a gamified activity • Levels: these are often defined as point thresholds, so the students (or users) can use them to indicate a higher status and have access to bonus content. • Challenges, badges, achievements, and trophies: the introduction of goals in an activity makes students (users) feel like they are working toward a goal. • Leader boards: in the context of gamification, high-score tables are used to

Editor's Notes
- #9: This chart shows the correlation between learner-control and levels of teaching (from information transfer to skills to knowledge creation to real work and learning).
- #33: In order to progress in the game the players are encoraged to perform Gestures matching to certin words or frases. These gestures are recorded in real time using the Kinect and a pair of 5 DT Gloves. After being saved, the gesture is analysed, and the player performence is evaluated.
- #34: 2nd phase: In order to translate the words into gestures we move to a dynamic recognition of the Gestures. In this phase there are some challenges we faced such as: _ The Sequential combination of movements and hands configurations, that we have to control. _ The Significant variations, in the performance of the gesture, and the speed of the hands and body position; _ And the difficulty of perceiving, or understand where, each word begins and where it ends.
- #35: In PSL There are 54 (fifty four) possible hands configurations (states); A word is defined by a transition from an initial state to a final state; Each state transition has an associated movement; _ Words classification : we have 3 classifiers, that we have used: 1- Finite Automata 2- Algorithms for Hierarchical Classification 3- Sequence Alignment Algorithms
