Challenge 4
4.3 Digital Libraries and Technology enhanced Learning
Carlos Oliveira (Deputy Head of Unit)
DG INFSO E3 – Cultural Heritage and Technology enhanced Learning
FP7 - ICT Call 3 ••• 2
Challenge 4:Digital Libraries and Content
• Harnessing the synergies made possible by linking content, knowledge and learning
– Increase the availability of content and its long term accessibility– More effective technologies for the creation, management and
reuse of content and knowledge– Scenarios for creative use of content, acquisition and
development of knowledge - learning processes
• Key topics:– Digital Libraries– Technology-enhanced Learning– Intelligent Content and Semantics
FP7 - ICT Call 3 ••• 3
Objective ICT2007.4.1:Digital Libraries
& Technology enhanced Learning
The Workprogramme has 2 distinct elements:
Digital Libraries• Medium term:
– a) Large-scale European-wide digital libraries • Long term:
– b) Radically new approaches to digital preservation
Technology-enhanced Learning• Medium term
– c) Responsive environments for technology-enhanced learning
• Long term
– d) Adaptive and intuitive learning systems
FP7 - ICT Call 3 ••• 4
Digital libraries:research objectives
a) Large-scale European-wide digital libraries of cultural and scientific multi-format and multi-source digital objects (medium term)– robust and scalable environments– cost-effective digitisation – innovative services and creative use– semantic-based search facilities and – digital preservation features
assisting communities of practice in the creative use of content in multilingual and multidisciplinary contexts
b)Radically new approaches to preservation of digital content (long term)– high volume; dynamic and volatile digital content (notably web) – keep track of evolving meaning and usage context– safeguarding integrity, authenticity and accessibility over time – models enabling automatic and self-organising approaches to
preservation
FP7 - ICT Call 3 ••• 5
Digital libraries:approach and impact
• Approach: – All funding schemes – but with very different indicative
budgets– Includes concept of centres of competence for
digitisation and preservation, building upon, pooling and upgrading resources in the Member States
– Cross-disciplinary research; empirical evaluation; socio-economic impact
• Impact:– Unlock organisations' and people's ability to access digital
content and to preserve it over time– EU-wide massive digitisation and long term preservation
FP7 - ICT Call 3 ••• 6
Technology-enhanced Learning: research objectives
c) Responsive environments for technology-enhanced learning (Medium term)– accommodate personalisation to respond to specific learning
needs and contexts (mass-individualisation) – are capable of transforming learning outcomes into permanent
knowledge assets – enhance competence, skills and performance– are pedagogically sound
d) Adaptive and intuitive learning systems (Long term)– identify learner's requirements, intelligently monitoring progress, – exploit learning and cognitive abilities letting people learn better,– give purposeful and meaningful advice to both learners and
teacherslearning on your own or collaboratively
FP7 - ICT Call 3 ••• 7
Technology-enhanced Learning: approach and impact
Approach:• Cross-disciplinary (cognitive, organisational, pedagogical,
technological aspects)• Provide a body of evidence as to which approaches are
effective and under which circumstances
Impact:– Faster and more effective learning, acquisition of
knowledge, competences and skills – Unlocking people’s and organisations’ ability to master
knowledge and apply it – Increased knowledge worker productivity, – More efficient organisational learning processes

Budget and Funding Schemes -instruments
• Total budget for the SO: 102 MEUR• Call 1: 52 MEUR• Call 3: 50 MEUR
• Funding Schemes:• Cooperative Projects (IPs and STREPs)• Networks of Excellence• Coordination Actions/Support Actions
• Indicative funding: • Cooperative projects M€42.5
• minimum of M€20 to IPs; • M€10 to STREPs);
• M€5 for NoEs; • M€2.5 for CSAs
NO pre-allocation of budget between “digital libraries” and “learning”!
FP7 - ICT Call 3 ••• 9
FP7-ICT call 1 results
• 189 Proposals – 12 funded!• Digital Libraries and digital preservation
• 2 IPs, 3 STREPs, 1 CA• Large scale digitisation of printed documents (older
materials and fonts), digital preservation and added value services based on digital content
• Learning • 2 IPs and 4 STREPs• Greater focus on responsive environments and mid-
term goals, than on intuitive systems• Strong continuity with FP6 research (and projects!)
– NoEs have been influential

FP7-ICT call 1 new projectsTechnology-enhanced Learning (1)
• IP1: Constructivist approach to science learning– Adaptivity, learner as creator, engagement,
guidance (by tutors/teachers)
– Consortium: universities
• IP2: Workplace learning– Embedding learning more seamlessly in work
processes and KM systems; knowledge maturation
– Consortium: universities, industry
FP7 - ICT Call 3 ••• 11
FP7-ICT call 1 new projectsTechnology-enhanced Learning (2)
• STRP 1: Personalisation and adaptivity– developing new tools interfacing with existing
infrastructures and LMS• STRP 2: Theories, methodologies and technologies for
game based learning– Focus on learning science, adaptivity, story telling and
engagement• STRP 3: Adaptivity and guidance
– Using natural language technologies to support learner and teacher
• STRP 4: Innovation and creativity in product development

FP7-ICT call 1 new projectsDigital libraries (1)
Integrated Project 1:• Data Grid, Federated Digital Libraries, Persistent Data
Archives and Multivalent Architecture– Test-beds: Documents in Memory Institutions and
Governmental Collections, Objects in Industrial Design and Engineering, eScience
– Consortium: universities and research org in EU and US, industry and gov.
Integrated Project 2:• Large scale digitisation of printed older material (scan
+ OCR) with multilingual support– Centre of competence for digitisation– Consortium: national libraries, ICT (scan + OCR specialists)
FP7 - ICT Call 3 ••• 13
FP7-ICT call 1 new projectsDigital libraries (2)
STREP 1:• Web archiving: fidelity, coherence and interpretability,
transforming pure snapshot into living web archive• Consortium: Universities and research, new media archiving
STREP 2:• Explore software agent technologies to automate preservation
processes (self-preserving objects)• Consortium: archives and universities, research, ICT
STREP 3:• Innovative access to digital library content (ability to extend queries
in the context of a specific discipline to alien domains) • Consortium: film news agencies, universities, research
CSA• Coordination action on multilingualism in digital libraries

Where proposals failed
• Described solutions without defining either the problem or the research and progress that would be made
• Objectives more oriented towards providing a solution for a particular set of users (e.g. training for engineers, the virtual museum or digital library with the collections of a specific organisation) than the objectives and impacts specified in the work-programme
• Failure to justify the choice of the application or test-bed. Our approach is subject neutral – and so it is up to proposers to argue the usefulness of the proposed test-beds (in terms of learning context, potential for replication).
• Tried to create false links between digital libraries and technology-enhanced learning – thinking that greater coverage of the WP is better than clear relevance to one of the research topics
FP7 - ICT Call 3 ••• 15
Where proposals failed
• Over-dimensioned – tried to tackle too much and becoming too diffuse rather than stick to a core problem and focused, measurable objectives
• In digital libraries:• Several proposals having as main objective and outcome to set-up a
digital library or repository hosting the collections of an institution, occasionally with some a digitisation component, but a very limited research component
• Development of solutions for very specific audiences (tracking of stolen works, publishing / simulation of scientific data) without a visible research outcome
• In learning:• Inability to leverage a balance of research in technological and
pedagogical (or cognitive science) disciplines – too often there were technologies looking for a home
• Aim to create LMS or content delivery platforms – not advanced as regards the state of the art, or more oriented towards the objectives of eContentplus
