Visualisation tools and analytics to monitor online language learning & teaching Hasselt University

This project proposal's aim is to demonstrate the potential of learning analytics to improve learning and teaching practises with the use of digital tools on the basis of 4 different distance and blended learning practises. Learning analytics offers great opportunities to better understand concrete learning behaviour and uses of electronic courseware and online resources and can provide a rich source of information on all aggregate levels: not ...

Innovations in Methodologies and Syllabus: Digital Humanities and Philippine Literature (DigiPhiLit) University of Antwerp

María del Rocío Ortuño Casanova

Antwerp Centre for Digital humanities and literary Criticism (ACDC)

CONTEXTThe wider context for this project is determined by:a) The unbalanced application of Digital Humanities to education in comparison to its growth as a research field, which is changing perspectives on the history of literature and has a great potential in contributing to understand discourses in context, cultural connections and the flow of topics across the time.b) The necessity to further develop distance learning didactics due to ...

LIVE-FOR: Technical software for SME networks Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Paul De Hert

Brussels Interdisciplinary Research centre on Migration and Minorities, Metajuridica, Fundamental rights centre

This multiplier project will consolidate and take further the results of an ADAPT project called 'Started'. The objective of this project is to develop a distance learning methodology for employees in SMEs using multimedia technology.

The partners will undertake detailed research of existing distance training methods at local, national and international level, and will investigate potential technical support options. A new distance ...

CROSSMINDS KU Leuven

Bert Lauwers

Manufacturing Processes and Systems (MaPS)

CROSSMINDS wants to respond to three recent developments: the promotion of lifelong learning for professionals, the increased interest in cross-border mobility of professionals and students and the use of opportunities within distance learning (as a result of the COVID crisis). The project will realize teaching modules specifically aimed at professionals and (engineering) students with a technical profile. The overarching theme is 'smart ...

The present project foresees a significant improvement of the equipment as well as the management of control posts located at the cross roads of relevant flows of long distance transport of animals in the EU. Specific objectives of the action to be carried out in will be: 1. Planning, designing, financing the building and renovation of high quality control in order to set up a reference for the highest standards for such establishment. 2. ...

Opto-Biomechanical Eye Research Network (OBERON). University of Antwerp

Carina Koppen

Translational Neurosciences (TNW)

The eye is a biological tissue with optical and biomedical properties that govern the way the eye refracts light, focuses that light onto the retina and can dynamically alter that focus over a range of distances. This impressive flexibility results from the delicate way in which the mechanical properties of the eye very precisely affect its optics. These properties vary considerably between individuals and can alter over time in response to ...

Sense and avoid technology for small drones KU Leuven

Sofie Pollin

Waves: Core Research and Engineering (WaveCore)

We will develop a sensor, communication, and processing suite for small drones for autonomously detecting and avoiding “ground-based” obstacles and flying objects.

To avoid ground-based obstacles, we aim for a lightweight, energy-efficient sensor and processing package that maximizes payload capacity. Self-supervised learning will allow for a breakthrough in perception range. This will enable effective fusion of stereo vision, motion, ...

Measuring Convergence and Divergence in Varieties of Chinese: A Lectometric Approach. KU Leuven

Dirk Geeraerts

Quantitative Lexicology and Variational Linguistics (QLVL), Leuven

What can Chinese teach us about the languages of Europe? Sociolinguistic research has obtained important insights into the dynamics of the languages of Europe: the emergence of pluricentric varieties, the global influence of English, the tendency towards informalization of the standard languages. But are these phenomena typically European, or are the same forces at work in other linguistic areas? A comparison with Chinese may provide an ...

Promotion of new Eurocode rules for structural stainless steels KU Leuven

Barbara Rossi

Construction Technology, De Nayer (Sint-Katelijne-Waver) Campus

This project will disseminate new design guidance for structural stainless steels which has been developed over the last 10 years, primarily arising from RFCS-fuded research. Activities are mostly targeted at design practioners and include:

Updating and extending the Design Manual for Structural Stainless Steels (Third edition)
Translating the Design Manual from English into 9 languages
Developing online design ...
