Abstract:

In electronic teaching (mainly in higher education), teachers might experience difficulty in providing references for students. Teachers have many lists with the newest and most relevant books and articles for their courses, but sometimes hard to manage them. A thematic, searchable list of materials with many labels could solve this problem. In this presentation our aim is to provide a description of a smart, virtual, online service -- we call it as Ruza Breto -- that can be a useful tool in e-learning systems and for teachers in their researches and for their on-line learning materials in their courses. Ruza Breto is under development for the VirCA virtual intelligent arena.

Ruza Breto denotes a smart online bookshelf that provides a special intelligent service: gives a thematic, searchable and personalized online repository for its users. Ruza Breto can collect and provide to its users’ items belonging to a given topic from online libraries and other certified repositories; it can remark and store the contents approved by the user. This system can create patterns of user behaviors and can learn its users’ behavior and range of interests, what kind of information they approved. It can use log file information, semantic analysis, and of course neural networks, as well. In this presentation we describe the design of this intelligent, online system that can provide a personalized repository of digital documents and other digital materials.
