We present the OPPIA platform, a ubiquitous and smart learning environment, that deploys sporadic learning networks (SLNs) among people (students, teachers and experts) who happen to be in a common place or in a remote place but connected to the platform through the Internet. The idea is to establish dynamic learning networks that encourage their members to work together and create a learning environment with proper resources and activities to satisfy their learning needs. This paper describes the design of the platform from the lowest levels of establishing connections among members of the SLNs, up to the highest level of smart learning services.
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.
