This paper proposes a model that exploits the Internet of Things in the urban environment to promote the accessibility to physical real-world objects especially to those with special needs. The approach is primarily based on connecting and sharing data about accessibility requirements and real-world environment data. The approach is also founded on annotating physical objects, and adapting the interaction with the virtual side of cyber-physical objects in order to make physical objects accessible in a smart environment via smart devices. We define and build our model as an extension of previous research results in order to facilitate interaction with everyday objects and promote quality of life for those with special needs.

An innovative way of understanding learning processes: Eye tracking Dogusoy, Berrin; Çağıltay, Kürşat (2009-07-24) This paper aims to present findings on the use of eye-tracking technology as a new approach from an educational perspective. The studies in this paper on relationship between learning and eye-movements have focused on concept-map formation, learning from multimedia materials, designing materials with different cognitive strategies, multimodal comprehension of language and graphics with and without annotation, computer games and cognitive style effects of computer based interfaces and hypertext environment. ...
Innovative Educational Technology for Special Education and Usability Issues Çağıltay, Kürşat; Karasu, Necdet; Çakır, Hasan; Kaplan, Göknur (2014-06-27) The purpose of this study is to introduce educational technology project, OZTEK, for special education students and present usability issues related to those developed technologies. With the OZTEK, the researchers intend to develop innovative, technology enhanced learning environments to support the education of children with such special needs and to investigate effectiveness of such learning environments. Within the scope of the OZTEK, to provide support for special education, various instructional techn...

Smart Residence Management System RMS with Personalized Comfort Ay, Meral Başak; Gökalp, Ebru; Eren, Pekin Erhan; Tanyer, Ali Murat (2016-10-31) The built environment is undergoing a significant evolution, enabled by the Internet of Things (IoT) concept. IoT offers some far-reaching opportunities with the help of cloud computing to exploit technological advances for the benefit of the users, society, and the environment. Technological advances in IoT makes it easier to monitor and manage environments around us. Also, increasing control over lighting/daylighting amount, fresh air ventilation rate, temperature, noise level and humidity level increase ...
A Proposal of an instructional design model for gamified learning environments: Geld model Aldemir, Tuğçe; Kaplan Akıllı, Göknur; Yükseltürk, Erman; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2015) This study is an attempt to develop an instructional design model for gamified learning environments. It is hoped that the model developed in this study could be used as a guide in designing a gamified instructional environment. The main contention of the study is that combining the methods of the traditional teaching with the methods made possible by the computer age would open up new possibilities to enhance the motivations of learners. Technological changes since the last decade of the 20th century has g...
