“…Qiu & Cho (2006) suggested that personalised searches could improve the user experience by presenting users with information, resources, services and products most compatible with their perceived preferences, simply identified by algorithmic search results (Venugopal et al, 2009). Others such as Xu et al (2008) and Garofalakis et al (2005) highlighted the amount of time a user could save through personalisation and the provision of relevant results, attempting to overcome the challenges of the attention crash (Pariser, 2011). As more and more users identified the web as their main source for information, personalisation became a way to sift through the masses of information available online.…”

This paper introduces Fast Food da Politica (FFDP) as a case study of a learning network designed to promote social action in a developing country. Our focus is on exploring FFDP design elements, such as those related to tools, tasks and social organization, and the connections between these elements and valued learning activity. FFDP cleverly (re)purposes popular (board) games as pedagogical tools, which are then customised for the teaching and learning of the mechanisms and functioning of Brazilian political structures. FFDP has taken their political games to game-playing sessions across the country in varied venues -including schools, government organisations, and open sessions at market-street events and public protests. Their games are shared as open learning resources through blueprints and manuals that explain the many ways a game can be played, and which are easily downloadable through their website. FFDP also encourages game users (educators and learners) to come up with and share their own game-playing ideas for reuse. As a result, FFDP has built a repository of games that is constantly evolving, as new ways of using their open resources are captured and packaged for sharing and reuse by others. As a not-for-profit organisation, FFDP has been successfully relying on social media and crowdsourced funding to survive. In this paper, we draw on the ACAD Wireframe to explore the alignment of this network's design elements at the micro and meso levels, focusing on the ways FFDP combines a strategic educational vision deeply grounded on action for social change, with a curriculum that emphasizes gaming elements and promotes the physicality of materials in learning. At the micro level, the case study examines how the quality of materials support the development of educational innovation, while at the meso level this organization, driven by young women, is buildingup a learning network for social action, empowering children, youth and adults to learn about the mechanisms of politics and their civil rights, within the Brazilian context. Overall, this paper offers an inspiring example of a productive learning network in action, where participation and co-creation are fostered through connections between a network of people, ideas, digital and material elements. KeywordsOpen education; design for learning; games in education help people learn and teach deeper critical thinking of political matters, and in so doing, to empower learners to take hold of their own future.

The increasing availability and popularity of computer systems has resulted in a demand for new language-and platform-independent ways of data exchange. This demand has, in turn, led to significant growth in the importance of systems based on Web services. Alongside the growing number of systems accessible via Web services came the need for specialized data repositories that could offer effective means of searching the available services. The development of mobile systems and wireless data transmission technologies has allowed us to use distributed devices and computer systems on a greater scale. The accelerating growth of distributed systems might be a good reason to consider the development of distributed Web service repositories with built-in mechanisms for data migration and synchronization.

“…A recent trend to personalizing web searching is introduced in [10], [4], [5]. Those papers introduce a novel approach to construct user profiles; they construct profiles with the aid of a category hierarchy (an ontology can also be used), which contains the categories chosen by users to best reflect their individual preferences.…”

Generic web searching often turns out impersonal and frustrating due to lack of adaptivity to user preferences. These problems can be alleviated in the presence of a solution to assist personalization in an effective manner. Such a tool is presented within the context of this paper that enables personalization on the client's browser and is supported by a Web Service based backend system that implement a number of different personalization approaches as an option. Our aim is to provide a generic platform based on web technologies a) for end-user personalization and b) for assistance in the research & development evaluation of existing or novel personalization techniques. The solution is further underpinned with novel personalization techniques. The latter have emerged as fine-grained and improved alternatives to provably efficient personalization methods previously presented in [10]. The solution altogether has been experimentally evaluated and proved effective.
