The Case of Spatial Intelligence Enhancement

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This monograph explores the synergy of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Augmented Reality (AR) and cognitive processes to enhance spatial abilities - an integral aspect of cognitive development. The ability to comprehend and manipulate spatial information is not only fundamental to our understanding of the physical world but also plays a pivotal role in numerous academic and professional fields. Recognizing the profound impact of spatial ability on scientific disciplines and educational achievement, this monograph takes on the challenge of enhancing spatial skills among users.

The authors present the design and development of a mobile training system that incorporates AR features to enhance learners' spatial ability. Involving mental generation, transformation, and rotation of visual images for understanding spatial relationships, spatial ability is closely linked to success in various scientific disciplines and educational pursuits. While spatial visualization skillstests are available, this monograph takes a unique approach by focusing on developing targeted interventions to improve spatial ability. It aims to unlock new avenues for cognitive growth and dive into the untapped potential within the realm of spatial intelligence.

Beyond its emphasis on spatial ability enhancement, this monograph goes above and beyond traditional approaches by integrating AI techniques into the training system. As such, it aims to provide personalized and adaptive learning experiences for learners. The training system, through intelligent techniques, dynamically analyzes individual learners' strengths, weaknesses, and progress, tailoring content and challenges to their specific needs. This effort establishes a new frontier in educational technology, offering a groundbreaking solution that not only augments spatial ability development but also showcases the transformative potential of AI in reshaping the learning experience.

The book is a valuable resource for researchers, educators, developers and technology enthusiasts, as it exemplifies the profound impact of AI and AR in shaping the future of online learning experiences.

Dr. Cleo Sgouropoulou is Professor in the Department of Informatics and Computer Engineering at the University of West Attica (Greece). She has received a Diploma and Ph.D. degree from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA). Her research interests lie in the fields of artificial intelligence, human-computer interaction and software engineering. She has participated as a main researcher/coordinator in more than 30 related national and European-funded projects. Dr. Sgouropoulou has published more than 150 articles in internationaljournals, scientific collections and conference proceedings. She is an acting reviewer in distinguished journals and has served as General Chair, Program Chair and Steering Committee member in major international computer science conferences and participated in several Program and Organizing conference committees. Dr. Sgouropoulou has been prominently active in the area of European Learning Technologies Standardization. She has been a member of the European Standardization Committee (CEN) Workshop on Learning Technologies since 2000, and since 2007 she has been the Head of the Greek delegation of the Hellenic Organization for Standardization (ELOT) to the CEN Technical Committee 353 "ICT for Learning, Education and Training" and the coordinator of its Greek Mirror Committee TC48/WG3. As a field expert, Dr. Sgouropoulou has been appointed by CEN to contribute/coordinate several of its standardization projects on leaning objects, learning opportunities, learner mobility and learning outcomes/competence information. The results of this research work have been published as technical specifications (CEN Workshop Agreements) of the European Standardization Committee and have been presented to the scientific community as published articles. In 2010, Dr. Sgouropoulou was elected Vice-Chair of CEN TC353. Dr. Sgouropoulou has coordinated standardization activities on a "European Learner Mobility Model" for the development of a European Norm on European Learner Mobility Achievement Information (EuroLMAI). In February 2011, the EuroLMAI was formally voted by Member States and is now one of the first European Norms in the field of Learning Technologies.
