IWM-KMRC has had a number of join projects and collaboration with the [[Cyprus Neuroscience and technology Institute]]. For example the [[Resource-Adaptive Design of Visualizations for Supporting the Comprehension of Complex Dynamics in the Natural Sciences]] project's basic idea was that a successful knowledge acquisition with dynamic visualizations is a resource intensive process which requires simultaneous and optimized availability of different learning resources. | |||
The research focuses on individual learning in multimedia and hypermedia environments with main topics being issues of learner control, adaptive user strategies, learning with dynamic visualizations, designing multimedia learning environments and supporting different learners’ competences to use such environments. | The research focuses on individual learning in multimedia and hypermedia environments with main topics being issues of learner control, adaptive user strategies, learning with dynamic visualizations, designing multimedia learning environments and supporting different learners’ competences to use such environments. | ||
