Teaching Activity

A continuous teaching activity has started as teaching assistant for courses of Fundamentals of Computer Science, Functional Programming and Artificial Intelligence. She has taught and teaches various courses of Fundamentals of Computer Science for civil engineers and for Computer Science and a course on Algorithms and Data Structures She has taught and teaches courses of Fundamentals of Computer Science and Algorithms and Data Structures. She also teaches didactic of computer science for teacher's formation curriculum (TFA and PAS). She has been advisor of two PhD students at Roma Tre University and co-advisor of two PhD students at Griffith University, Queensland, Australia.

Recent Research Activity

Artificial Intelligence methodologies and technologies for e-learning. The research mainly focuses on Intelligent Adaptive Learning Environments, User Modeling and User-Adapted Interaction, and collaborative learning environments. In particular, LS-Plan, a framework for personalization and adaptation in e-learning, is a prototype proposed for automatic sequencing of e-learning courses. Adaptation is meant, with respect to the knowledge possessed by the learner and her learning styles, both evaluated prior of the course and maintained during course fruition. LS-Plan has been integrated into Moodle Learning Management System. Present work focuses on the following topics:
  • Retrieval of didactic materials
  • Social collaboration tools, to support the process of course construction
  • Community of practice for sharing material and experiences among teachers
  • Educational Recommender Systems to support the operations of retrieving, analyzing, and importing LOs from a set of standard Learning Objects Repositories
  • Automatic extraction and recommendation of learning material from Wikipedia
  • Extracting information for establishing didactic dependencies between Wikipedia pages
  • Intelligent Adaptive Learning Environments
  • User Modeling and User-Adapted Interaction
