Welcome to the proceedings of ICCHP 2008. We were proud to welcome participants from more than 40 countries from all con- nents to ICCHP. The International Programme Committee, encompassing 102 experts form all over the world, selected 150 full and 40 short papers out of 360 abstracts submitted to ICCHP. Our acceptance rate of about half of the submissions, demonstrates the scientific quality of the programme and in particular the proceedings you have in your hands. An impressive group of experts agreed to organize “Special Thematic Sessions” (STS) for ICCHP 2008. The existence of these STS sessions helped to bring the me- ing into sharper focus in several key areas of assistive technolo...
Assistive Technology (AT) is an umbrella term indicating any product or technology-based service that enables people of all ages with activity limitations in their daily life, education, work or leisure. It is a highly interdisciplinary field, encompassing research, development, manufacture, supply, provision and policy. This book presents the proceedings of the 12th biennial European conference of the Association for the Advancement of Assistive Technology in Europe, AAATE 2013, held in Vilamoura, Portugal, in September 2013. The full papers included here cover a diverse range of subjects, including: ageing, disability and technology; accessibility in Europe; ambient assisted living; AT and Cloud computing; communication access for all; monitoring and telecare; and user perspective, to name but a few. The aim of the AAATE conference is to promote a more effective dialogue between manufacturers, researchers, developers, professionals and end users, and this book will be of interest to all those directly or indirectly involved in the field of AT.
En el año 2008, John Moravec alumbraba un nuevo concepto, el de los Knowmads. Estos habitantes de la denominada sociedad 3.0, que construyen su propio conocimiento, producen ideas novedosas y originales, y disponen de la motivación y las competencias para colaborar activamente, crear redes, comprender y participar en diferentes culturas, contextos y sociedades, forman parte, también, de la nueva realidad de estudiantes que se forman en modalidades semipresencial y a distancia.A pesar de ello, este escenario se enfrenta, aún, a diseños y modelos formativos cuyas lógicas se enraízan en la tradición escolástica positivista-industrial, lo que, en su remanencia, extiende la fractura entr...
