ADHD is a disorder of child and adolescent neuropsychological development which principal characteristics area inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. These symptoms can be due to difficulties in self-control and in planning capacity but in general, they are not associated with an intelligence deficit. The present article aims at defining a teaching methodology able to promote teaching strategies based on the use of digital technologies. The idea is to offer teachers an ecosystem of tools through which they can create teaching modules designed to make students with ADHD more involved. The result is to provide students with ICT-based didactic modules able to offer more cooperative and inclusive educational activities. The idea is to demonstrate how solutions thought for including students with ADHD can improve all students in terms of acquired competences and in integration among classmates.
We discuss a Cloud-based Collective Intelligence model and its in-progress implementation to direct users toward an optimal usage of their home appliances as a way of getting both personal advantage and an overall reduction of pollution and energy consumption. In this model sustainability is considered with respect to two types of resources: natural ones, to be mostly preserved, as indicated above, and brain resources, in terms of intention and knowledge, to be convoyed to a common target. Having the first aspect for a given, in this paper we focus on the secondby examining three distinct factors: user experience, knowledge achievement and business model. Our service paradigm is rooted on a Social Networks of Facts that requires experts’ know, like that owned by the appliance manufacturer, but exploits it in an autonomous way so as to comply with the specific intentions of the individual users. While cloud architectural and communication aspects are solved in a standard, though advanced, way, the interplay between user and expertsisconsidered variously within a range of business models. As the success of these models is related to the network population, here we discuss some preliminary simulations based on an effectively implemented infrastructure and on the extrapolation of early collected data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
