| A 3-year international ICT project, funded by the European Commission under its Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) (project No. 231590). It is a Specific Targeted Research Project (STREP) in the area of Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL). The project objective is to develop intelligent technologies to support learning and knowledge-building activities in an Intelligent Learning Extended Organization (IntelLEO). IntelLEO is a new paradigm representing a community that emerges as a temporal integration of two or more different business and educational communities and organizational cultures (industrial, research, and educational). |
DL@WEB - Enhancing the Quality of Distance Learning at Western Balkan Higher Education Institutions (2010-2013) |
| A 3-year international project, funded by TEMPUS agency (project SM 511126-2010), with the objective to improve the quality and relevance of distance learning (DL) at Western Balkan higher education institutions. This implies easier inclusion of partner country institutions into European Higher Education Area through improvement, development and implementation of accreditation standards, guidelines and procedures for quality assurance (QA) of DL study programs at national system levels in Western Balkan countries. |
OP4L - Online Presence for Learning (2010-2012) |
| A 2-year international project, funded by the European Commission within its SEE-ERA.NET PLUS program (project ERA 115/01), with the objective to provide support for advanced, context-aware Learning Process Management (LPM) within Personal Learning Environments (PLEs) as the increasingly important paradigm in online education. The project relies on using Social Semantic Web technologies to generate recommendations for learners, based on their current learning contexts and the state of online presence of members of their social graphs (i.e., network of online connections). |
|
| A 2-year international project, funded by TEMPUS agency (project JEP-41016-2006), with the objectives to enable high-quality and specialized education in the field of e-learning and to establish the new M.Sc. studies in e-learning according to the principles of the Bologna declaration. |
|
| A 2-year national project, funded by the Ministry of Science and Technological Development of the Republic of Serbia. The project objective is to develop a number of simple, open-source software tools and applications to support Web-based learning. Examples include context modeling tools Web-based learning, a tool for intelligent classification of learners based on multiple assessment sessions, and a tool for dynamic generation and use of personlized learning objects. |
|
| A short-term project within the Partnerships for Tomorrow Program Phase II (PTP II), funded by the Canadian International Development Agency and administered by the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada. The project sought to build a sustainable Canada-Serbia research community in the domain of semantically enabled e-learning (e.g., identified EU as the future of technology enhanced learning in its roadmap for 2007-2013) among research institutions and funding bodies. |
|
| A short-term project within the Partnerships for Tomorrow Program Phase II (PTP II), funded by the Canadian International Development Agency and administered by the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada. The project investigated the use of semantic modeling and ontologies for tracking usage data in learning management systems such as Moodle. It was done in cooperation with Simon Fraser University and the Athabasca University. |
Sharing Learning Designs: Semantic Prototyping (July-Aug 2006) |
| A short-term project within the Partnerships for Tomorrow Program Phase II (PTP II), funded by the Canadian International Development Agency and administered by the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada. The project developed a prototype for sharing learning designs based on semantic modeling and ontologies. The project was done in cooperation with the University of Saskatchewan and Simon Fraser University . The project was also aimed at strengthening further cooperation between the LORNET Research network, the ProLearn Network of Excellence, and the Web Intelligence and E-Learning project. |
|
| A 'Network of Excellence' project financed by the IST (Information Society Technology) Framework 6 programme of the European Commission, dealing with technology enhanced professional learning. The project focuses on questions of European importance and stresses a better integration of research efforts. It initiates and improves cooperation between various actors of academia and industry in the area of technology enhanced learning, particularly supporting multinational co-operation. The GOOD OLD AI research group is an associated partner in the project. The group's duties include R&D activities related to personalized adaptive learning, online experiments, learning objects, metadata and standards, PROLEARN virtual competence centre, and PROLEARN academy. |
ARIADNE (2004 - present) |
| The ARIADNE Foundation creates tools and methodologies for producing, managing and reusing computer-based pedagogical elements and telematics supported training curricula. In particular, the Foundation has created a network of knowledge pool servers containing a large number of different learning objects and supported by different Web-based learning and management tools. The GOOD OLD AI research group, coordinated by Vladan Devedzic, is a member of the Foundation. The group maintains a local knowledge pool server and contributes to ARIADNE through its R&D activities. |
|
| A project financed by the EUREKA network for market-oriented, industrial R&D, aiming at developing a virtual environment that shall be used as a hub for consulting services and education in the damain of welding technologies. WELCON will enable development and uploading of relevant electronic content throgh a specific content server, easy navigation and content search, as well as reusability of domain-related content in other applications. |
Web Intelligence and e-Learning (2005 - 2007) |
| A 3-year project, co-funded by the Government of the Republic of Serbia and industry partners. The project objectives include defining flexible generic software architectures for building systems and adaptive software tools to support E-Learning using WI technologies, as well as building specific software applications and tools to demonstrate the benefits that E-Learning systems can have from using WI technologies. It is expected for such applications and tools to be integrated with existing Web-based applications developed by the project participants from industry. This project is also supposed to enable transfer of results from similar European research projects to which researchers from this project already actively participate. |
Intelligent Information Systems (2003 - 2005) |
| A 3-year project, co-funded by the Government of the Republic of Serbia and industry partners. The project objectives included application of intelligent software technologies and Internet technologies in engineering, manufacturing, education, business information systems, and knowledge management. The project results achieved are used by both the project participants from academia and industrial partners. |
|
| A 2-year, international project, funded by TEMPUS agency (project JEP 16067), with the objective to unify curricula for teaching business information systems across universities in Serbia and focus the curricula on certain important and promising developments identified from the perspectives of academia, industry, and research funding agencies in EU and North America. The project consortium members included several universities from from Serbia, University of Brighton, UK, and Centre for Research and Technology - Hellas (ITI-CERTH), Thessaloniki, Greece. |
