There is an interesting area emerging at the cross section of learning sciences and language technologies. Applying various language technologies including intelligent information retrieval, information extraction, personalization, summarization, and cross language information access to create or enhance an effective learning environment seem to be of immense benefit and promise.
Some of our (SIEL’s) past and current work can be applied to explore the role of personalized search and personalized summarization technologies in creating collaborative leaning environments.
We plan to collaborate with LTI of CMU in this area. Our project on Creation of Smart space in the classroom (funded by Nokia University Relations Program) also falls in this area.
