A proper requirements specification is paramount for achieving the quality of the developed software products. However, well-known Requirements Engineering (RE) techniques lack of enough expressiveness to model the requirements of CSCW systems (Computer Supported Collaborative Work). This is due to the inherent complexity of collaboration among users and their need of awareness. Moreover, the way in which users interact with CSCW systems have evolved greatly to more sophisticated interfaces, beyond the classical desktop computer environments, to those called Post-WIMP (Windows, Icons, Menus, Pointer). Awareness is magnified in such a way that users have to be aware of their context: the artifacts with which to interact, his/her own capabilities as well as those of the others. All this awareness is necessary to allow them to collaborate in virtual and/or augmented environments. This PhD thesis aims at solving this problem by developing a RE framework able to deal with the requirements of CSCW and Post-WIMP systems, making emphasis on the awareness requirements about user's context.

“…However, the current trend of e-learning is updating the existing model, mixing the face to face classes with online lessons [1] [3]. Indeed, some degrees allow students to perform their practices and to read material from their homes through an e-learning platform.…”

Abstract-We propose a Global Unification Model of Studies where the subjects, which follow a same educational plan inside of a specific state or country, can be selected by students from any place inside of that state/country. This proposal increases the university's flexibility providing to the students the option of selecting subjects given for teachers of other universities. In addition we promote the unification of studies' plans to facilitate the subjects' selection and to step forward for a future global unification.

“…In terms of computer-assisted language learning (CALL), a model illustrates the connection between language learning and computer use, and also describes how a learner may use computers to improve learning effectiveness (Beatty 2010). In order to organise the design of software, interface and learning/teaching materials, previous researchers have proposed adopting model-based development in e-learning based on the idea that the design of e-learning should fit the appropriate theories, such as situational teaching theories (Richards and Rodgers 2001) in order to ensure learning quality (Fardoun, Montero, and Jaquero 2009). The learning design model developed in this study used Beatty's (2010) model framework for the study of computer-assisted language learning (CALL).…”

2014) Designing dynamic English: a creative reading system in a context-aware fitness centre using a smart phone and QR codes, Digital Creativity, 25:2, 169-186, AbstractThis article describes the design and development of a context-aware ubiquitous learning (u-learning) system for users to increase fitness-related reading comprehension in a fitness centre. With the use of mobile devices and sensing technologies, practitioners and researchers of ICT and ubiquitous computing (ubicomp) are paying attention to the planning and use of u-learning components to provide users more interactions with authentic learning objects in a real context. Meanwhile, English for specific purposes (ESP) with interaction design has been a focus in recent years; however, few ESP practitioners and researchers have explored fitness-related English with ubicomp. All of the users were satisfied with the use of the smart phones and scanning of QR codes on the machines in the fitness centre to develop their reading comprehension of fitness-related English. Finally, a learning design model for Fitness English reading with u-learning components was developed and elaborated from designers' perspectives.
