Zervas, Panagiotis; Tsourlidaki, Eleftheria; Cao, Yiwei; Sotiriou, Sofoklis; Sampson, Demetrios G.; Faltin, Nils – Journal of Computing in Higher Education, 2016
Online labs (OLs) constitute digital educational tools which can have a significant role in supporting science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) teachers in their daily teaching practice. Designing STEM lessons supported by specific OLs is a challenging task and thus, it is useful for STEM teachers to be able to share their lesson…

Green, Noah; Ipeirotis, Panagiotis G.; Gravano, Luis – 2001
This paper describes how SDLIP and STARTS, two complementary protocols for searching over distributed document collections, were combined. The resulting protocol, called SDARTS, is simple yet expressible enough to enable building sophisticated metasearch engines. SDARTS can be viewed as an instantiation of SDLIP with metasearch-specific elements…

Blandford, Ann; Stelmaszewska, Hanna; Bryan-Kinns, Nick – 2001
Digital libraries are moving from research and development into commercial use. If they are to realize their full potential, however, the experiences of end users need to be taken into account from the earliest stages of design. Those end users are typically individuals who have no particular skills in information retrieval, and are accessing…
