EduNuggets: an intelligent environment for managing and delivering multimedia education content

ABSTRACT

Todays teaching and learning practices are evolving to leverage the continuously increasing information available on the web, on all conceivable subject matters. This wealth of information presents a great challenge: how to provide an integrated, authoritative, extendible and shareable information collection of related multimedia education materials. In this paper, we describe EduNuggets (http://www.cs.ualberta.ca/~stroulia/EduNuggets), our intelligent repository for multimedia educational materials.
