The document summarizes a study on the relationship between color and emotions in website design. The study used data from user evaluations of color schemes to build a Bayesian belief network model linking color attributes to emotional descriptors. The model found that brightness was the most important factor influencing emotions, followed by other attributes like number of colors and contrast. The researchers developed tools to apply the model and determine optimal color schemes for desired emotional impacts. However, they note that more research is needed with larger samples to generalize the findings.

JRC SCIENCE FOR POLICY REPORT
Abstract
As educators face rapidly changing demands, they require an increasingly broader and more sophisticated
set of competences than before. In particular, the ubiquity of digital devices and the duty to help students
become digitally competent requires educators to develop their own digital competence.
On an international and national level a number of frameworks, self-assessment tools and training
programmes have been developed to describe the facets of digital competence for educators and to
help them assess their competence, identify their training needs and offer targeted training. Based on
the analysis and comparison of these instruments, this report presents a common European Framework
for the Digital Competence of Educators (DigCompEdu). DigCompEdu is a scientifically sound background
framework which helps to guide policy and can be directly adapted to implementing regional and national
tools and training programmes. In addition, it provides a common language and approach that will help
the dialogue and exchange of best practices across borders.
The DigCompEdu framework is directed towards educators at all levels of education, from early childhood
to higher and adult education, including general and vocational education and training, special needs
education, and non-formal learning contexts. It aims to provide a general reference frame for developers
of Digital Competence models, i.e. Member States, regional governments, relevant national and regional
agencies, educational organisations themselves, and public or private professional training providers.

[DSC Europe 22] BI Toolkit Powered Natural Language Processing - Sanda Martin...DataScienceConferenc1
A business intelligence (BI) toolkit is based on natural language processing (NLP) methods for the domain of arts and culture. The main NLP methods in the underlying pipeline are keyword extraction, multi-label text classification, and identification of potential social impacts of cultural policies and practices, all trained on texts from open-access academic publications. The toolkit is a geo-referenced visualization tool for analyzing impact on
social value creation in the areas of health and well-being, urban regeneration, and social cohesion, and enables semantic search for content in the domain of arts and culture. Therefore, the presented research can serve as a prototype for measuring societal value by identifying recurrent pathways of transformational processes in society that extend beyond the selected domain.

Εκτεταμένη Περίληψη
Στην παρούσα εργασία μελετάται η ένταξη των «Κοινωνικών Μέσων» στην εκπαιδευτική διαδικασία. Πιο συγκεκριμένα, πρόκειται για την ένταξη του εργαλείου Twitter, σε εργαστηριακό μάθημα ακαδημαϊκού μαθήματος. Σκοπός της εργασίας είναι η μελέτη της επίδρασης της χρήσης του εργαλείου, από τους φοιτητές, τόσο στο γνωστικό αποτέλεσμα όσο και στη συμμετοχή στην ακαδημαϊκή κοινότητα. Τα βασικά ερευνητικά ερωτήματα της εργασίας είναι τρία. Πρώτον, η εύρεση πιθανής συσχέτισης της συχνότητας χρήσης του εργαλείου με το μαθησιακό αποτέλεσμα. Ο δεύτερος στόχος είναι η εύρεση πιθανής διαφοροποίησης στο ερωτηματολόγιο National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE), το οποίο μετρά την εμπλοκή των φοιτητών στην ακαδημαϊκή κοινότητα (Junco, Elavsky & Heiberger, 2012) και ο τρίτος είναι η ανάλυση του τύπου των παρεμβάσεων των φοιτητών.
Χρησιμοποιήθηκε η μέθοδος one group pretest/posttest design και αναπτύχθηκαν τέσσερις μικρο-δραστηριότητες για τέσσερις εβδομάδες. Οι συμμετέχοντες ήταν 17 προπτυχιακοί φοιτητές του Τμήματος Επιστημών της Εκπαίδευσης και της Αγωγής στην Προσχολική Ηλικία, οι οποίοι είχαν επιλέξει το μάθημα «Εισαγωγή στην Επιστήμη του Ιστού». Για το αρχικό ερωτηματολόγιο, οι φοιτητές απάντησαν σε 5 δημογραφικές ερωτήσεις, σε 19 ερωτήσεις μέτρησης της αυτοαποτελεσματικότητας χρήσης του Διαδικτύου και στις 19 ερωτήσεις του NSSE. Στη συνέχεια, για τέσσερις εβδομάδες απαντούσαν στις οργανωμένες μικροδραστηριότητες, μέσω του Twitter, χρησιμοποιώντας το σχετικό hashtag του μαθήματος. Στο τέλος της διαδικασίας, απάντησαν στο τελικό ερωτηματολόγιο το οποίο περιείχε 2 δημογραφικές ερωτήσεις, 6 ερωτήσεις αξιολόγησης και τις ίδιες ερωτήσεις αυτοαποτελεσματικότητας και του NSSE, με το αρχικό ερωτηματολόγιο.
Η διαδικασία ξεκίνησε στις 12/5/2014 και ολοκληρώθηκε στις 6/6/2014. Οι συμμετέχοντες συμπλήρωσαν το αρχικό ερωτηματολόγιο, κατά τη διάρκεια του εργαστηριακού μαθήματος και το τελικό ερωτηματολόγιο μέσω e-mail. Η ηλικία των φοιτητών ήταν από 18 έως 34 (mean=21,76, sd=3,63). Οι συμμετέχοντες -17 γυναίκες, 0 άντρες- είχαν κατά μέσο όρο στο σύνολο των μαθημάτων 7,5, ε
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Our research goal was…
..to study association of color combinations
with emotional and aesthetic values for a web
site.
How the users are emotionally stimulated by
specific color schemes.
The approach involves application of machine
learning techniques on data collected during
an empirical study.
The data obtained have been used to train a
Bayesian Belief Network which associates a
chromatic model to a set of emotional
descriptors

Bayesian Networks
Computational architecture:
– Computes posterior probabilities given evidence about selected nodes
– Exploits probabilistic independence for efficient computation
– Based on Bayes theorem:
P(A|B)=P(B|A) P(A)/P(B)

Problems with color usage guidelines
Experiential advice tends to be non-
representative, contradictory or even obsolete
(Schwier and Misanchuk 1995)
Guidelines are often of little value to novice
designers with little experience with color theory
and art
Many issues remain untackled by existing
guidelines, such the relationship between colors
(simultaneous contrast), the optimal number of
colors for each case etc.

Color in web sites
Color can be used for aesthetic and functional reasons.
– Shapes a user interface (Smith,1986)
– Helps information seeking and organization (Carter 1982, Marcus 1986)
Effective web site design has to communicate well wider values such as
– sense of professionalism (Karvonen, 2001),
– trust (Nikander and Karvonen,2001) and
– Credibility (Danielson,2001)
Strong effect on the visceral level (mostly aesthetics), positively
influences the behavioral and reflection level (Norman,2003)
The visual aesthetics of computer interfaces are a strong determinant
of users' satisfaction and pleasure (Tractinsky et al., 2000)
7. We thank the European Social Fund (ESF), Operational Program for Educational and Vocational Training II (EPEAEK II), and particularly the Program PYTHAGORAS II, for

Methodology
Partially inspired from a similar research by Guerin, Park, Yang
(1995).
Identify relations between color characteristics and affective,
emotional descriptors.
Additionally to this, the process can be applied reversely.
Color scheme descriptors Emotional descriptors Demographic descriptors
8. We thank the European Social Fund (ESF), Operational Program for Educational and Vocational Training II (EPEAEK II), and particularly the Program PYTHAGORAS II, for

Empirical study
Forty six (46) participants completed the experiment (35 male,
11 female, aged 21-31), evaluating eight color schemes each.
The emotional dimensions used are compatible with the thirteen
emotional dimensions that have been used by Kim et al. (2003).
Most participants were postgraduate and undergraduate students
of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department of
University of Patras.
70% of the user had high internet familiarity, 26% average
familiarity, 4% low familiarity
The amount of data collected during the study was 46
participants x12 dimensions x8 layouts=4416 evaluations, thus
552 for each test page.

Bayesian Belief Networks
– A significant knowledge representation tool
– A significant inference representation tool under conditions of
uncertainty
Knowledge structure:
– Variables are depicted as nodes
– Arcs represent probabilistic dependence between variables
– Conditional probabilities encode the strength of the
dependencies
Various advantages:
High classification accuracy
The graph nature of the networks facilitates the knowledge
mining process
Proliferation of available tools to manipulate obtained network

Results
•Conclusions from the BBN are
structural and statistical.
•The diagrammatic nature of the
BBN
•allows recognition of the
relations between the
variables of the experiment
•allows us to gain an insight
on how a change in the values
of one node affects the
attributes of other nodes of
the network

Some more results
Analyzing the BBN structure, lead to a categorization of
influence of color factors into 4 levels of importance.
The most important aspect that influences the
emotional values perceived by the user seems to be :
the brightness of the dominant color.
the brightness level of the secondary color, the number
of colors, contrast between hues, and the type of the
secondary color (warm or cold).
Thirdly, the dominant color, the secondary color, color
scheme, contrast levels of brightness.
Finally, the saturation of the dominant color, and the
type of the dominant color (warm or cold).

Conclusions
A novel methodology has been presented that proposes the most
appropriate web site color scheme for a desired emotional impact.
Significant advantages compared to the most common approach,
i.e. applying guidelines for color usage
– Elicitation of optimal color schemes for each web site category (news,
e-learning, e-commerce, e-culture, e-government)
Reported results cannot be claimed to be of general value
– neither number of subjects
– nor the number of the test web pages was sufficient to justify general
conclusions
Many of the findings confirm earlier empirical rules on color and
current tendencies in web design
16. We thank the European Social Fund (ESF), Operational Program for Educational and Vocational Training II (EPEAEK II), and particularly the Program PYTHAGORAS II, for

Future work
Experiment reapplication using a larger and more
symmetrical sample
The proposed emotional descriptors can be further
evaluated in various web layouts and users and
refined accordingly
Explore cultural deviations and their effect on
perceived aesthetics
