Interactive multimedia educational content has recently been of interest to attract attention on the learner and increase understanding by the latter. In parallel several open source authoring tools offer a quick and easy production of this type of content. As such, our contribution is to mediatize a course i.e. English with the authoring system Xerte which is intended both for simple users and developers in ActionScript. An experiment of course is conducted on a sample of a private schools students. At the end of this experience, we administered a questionnaire to evaluate the device, the results obtained, evidenced by the favorable reception of interactive multimedia integration in educational content.

We propose a new Movie Map system, with an interface for exploring cities. The system consists of four stages; acquisition, analysis, management, and interaction. In the acquisition stage, omnidirectional videos are taken along streets in target areas. Frames of the video are localized on the map, intersections are detected, and videos are segmented. Turning views at intersections are subsequently generated. By connecting the video segments following the specified movement in an area, we can view the streets better. The interface allows for easy exploration of a target area, and it can show virtual billboards of stores in the view. We conducted user studies to compare our system to the GSV in a scenario where users could freely move and explore to find a landmark. The experiment showed that our system had a better user experience than GSV.
For quantifying progress in Ad-hoc Video Search (AVS), the annual TRECVID AVS task is an important international evaluation. Solutions submitted by the task participants vary in terms of their choices of cross-modal matching models, visual features and training data. As such, what one may conclude from the evaluation is at a high level that is insufficient to reveal the influence of the individual components. In order to bridge the gap between the current solution-level comparison and the desired component-wise comparison, we propose in this paper a large-scale and systematic evaluation on TRECVID. By selected combinations of state-of-the-art matching models, visual features and (pre-)training data, we construct a set of 25 different solutions and evaluate them on the TRECVID AVS tasks 2016--2020. The presented evaluation helps answer the key question of what matters for AVS. The resultant observations and learned lessons are also instructive for developing novel AVS solutions.
We report on a summer school course on Software Engineering for Sustainability (SE4S). We provide a detailed blueprint of the contents taught and its evaluation with the instruments that were used.
Acoustic and visual sensing can support the contactless estimation of the weight of a container and the amount of its content when the container is manipulated by a person. However, transparencies (both of the container and of the content) and the variability of materials, shapes and sizes make this problem challenging. In this paper, we present an open benchmarking framework and an in-depth comparative analysis of recent methods that estimate the capacity of a container, as well as the type, mass, and amount of its content. These methods use learned and handcrafted features, such as mel-frequency cepstrum coefficients, zero-crossing rate, spectrograms, with different types of classifiers to estimate the type and amount of the content with acoustic data, and geometric approaches with visual data to determine the capacity of the container. Results on a newly distributed dataset show that audio alone is a strong modality and methods achieves a weighted average F1-score up to 81% and 97% for content type and level classification, respectively. Estimating the container capacity with vision-only approaches and filling mass with multi-modal, multi-stage algorithms reaches up to 65% weighted average capacity and mass scores.
Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) platforms incorporate large course catalogs from which individual students may register multiple courses. We performed a network-based analysis of student achievement, considering how course-course interactions may positively or negatively affect student success. Our dataset included 378,000 users and 1,000,000 unique registration events in France Universite Numerique (FUN), a national MOOC platform. We adapt reliability theory to model certificate completion rates with a Weibull survival function, following the intuition that students survive in a course for a certain time before stochastically dropping out. Course-course interactions are found to be well described by a single parameter for user engagement that can be estimated from a users registration profile. User engagement, in turn, correlates with certificate rates in all courses regardless of specific content. The reliability approach is shown to capture several certificate rate patterns that are overlooked by conventional regression models. User engagement emerges as a natural metric for tracking student progress across demographics and over time.
