Research
CONTA
(COmputer Networks & Telematics Applications) is a research,
training, development and consulting laboratory at the University of
Macedonia (http://www.uom.gr), Thessaloniki, GREECE.
The CONTA lab activities include:
- Research on E-Learning, Networking Technologies & Techno-Economics
- Digital Skills (e-Skills) and Advanced ICT Teaching, Training &
Assessment,
- Knowledge Transfer, Consulting & Mentoring,
- User Studies (Needs, Experiences) & Market Analysis,
- Dissemination & Communication,
- European projects
The CONTA lab can offer research
expertise on:
- E-Learning (adaptive, personalized, mobile
learning & assessment, learning analytics, MOOCs, affective and
motivational learning & assessment),
- User Acceptance (Intention to Use, Adoption,
Attitude etc.) and Evaluation
(Quality of Experience, Usability etc.) of IoT Smart Systems, Services and
Applications,
- Internet of Things (IoT), Wireless and Mobile Networking,
Network Sharing & Virtualization,
- Smart Mobile Applications on e-Tourism, e-Culture,
e-Enjoyment, e-Government, etc.
- Techno-Economics & Competition.
Some recent research projects
conducted by the CONTA laboratory are the following:
Adaptive
Testing & Assessment:
Adaptive & personalized feedback
