Dear colleagues, I would like to inform you about a research grant (assegno di ricerca) available at the University of Genoa in the field of information visualization and learning analytics. The deadline for the application is on 8 November 2024, at noon (Italy time). Please find the details below. - Title of the research grant: Video augmentation, information visualization methods and learning analytics. - Project: the research grant is part of the PRIN 2022 PNRR, NEXT GENERATION EU, EKEEL Project - Empowering Knowledge Extraction to Empower Learners. - Short description: The automatic extraction of concepts and relationships from video lectures enables the generation of semantic graphs representing the structure of content and its connections. Such graphs can be used for the development of methods and applications to support video-based learning and learning processes. In this context, the grant has two main goals: 1) design, development, and testing of innovative methods and applications for video augmentation and knowledge visualization based on the semantic graphs extracted as part of the project, 2) analysis of the experimental data using qualitative-quantitative methods and pattern recognition techniques to study learners’ behavior. - Location: University of Genoa, Department of 'Informatica, Bioingegneria, Robotica e Ingegneria dei Sistemi (DIBRIS)', Italy.
