Collaborative Peer Review in Programming Lectures
Peer review and peer assessment are methods used, though for different means, both in education and software development. In education peer review is used to encourage students to engage more deeply with a subject. In software development peer review is a vital component to assure the quality of the software product. Both motivations are valuable considerations in higher education programming lectures. Peer reviewing pieces of code can be a valuable addition both for the learning outcome and for the learning assessment in this context. In this context we develop an online peer review solution in the course of a university beginners’ programming lecture.

GeoWiki
The recent years have shown the remarkable potential use of Web 2.0 technologies in education, especially in the context of informal learning. The application of Wikis for collaborative work is one example for this theory applied. The support of learning in those fields of education, which are strongly based on visual location-based information, could also benefit from Geo-Tagging, a technique that has become popular lately, and m-Learning, which allows learning in-the-field. In this context we investigate the combination of these three concepts into a geospatial Wiki for higher education, TUGeoWiki. Our solution proposal supports mobile scenarios where textual data and images are managed and retrieved in-the-field as well as some desktop scenarios in the context of collaborative e-Learning.

Knowledge Transfer with social, interactive Media
The goal of this project is to develop a set of collaborative tools to support knowledge transfer in such communities of interest. Though these tools are designed for various kinds of such communities, special attention in development is laid on the support of E-Learning, "classic" learning and blended learning. Ongoing analysis of the development in social media accompanies this development.

Mistral Multimedia data has a rich and complex structure in terms of inter- and intra-document references and can be an extremely valuable source of information. However, this potential is severely limited until and unless effective methods for semantic extraction and semantic-based cross-media exploration and retrieval can be devised. Todays leading-edge techniques in this area are working well for low-level feature extraction (e.g. colour histograms), are focussing on narrow aspects of isolated collections of multimedia data, and are dealing only with single media types. MISTRAL follows the following lines of radically new research: MISTRAL will extract a large variety of semantically relevant metadata from one media type and integrate it closely with semantic concepts derived from other media types. Eventually, the results from this cross-media semantic integration will also be fed back to the semantic extraction processes of the different media types so as to enhance the quality of the results of these processes. MISTRAL will focus on most innovative, semantic-based cross-media exploration and retrieval techniques employing concepts at different semantic levels. MISTRAL addresses the specifics of multimedia data in the global, networked context employing semantic web technologies. The MISTRAL results for semantic-based multimedia retrieval will contribute to a significant improvement of todays human-computer interaction in multimedia retrieval and exploration applications.
