his paper describes a project with the overall goal of providing a natural interaction communication platform accessible and adapted for all users, especially for people with speech impairments and elderly, by sharing knowledge between Industry and Academia. The platform will adopt the princi-ples of natural user interfaces such as speech, silent speech, gestures, picto-grams, among others, and will provide a set of services that allow easy access to social networks, friends and remote family members, thus contributing to over-come social-exclusion of people with special needs or impairments. Application of these features will be performed in the context of serious games, virtual reali-ty environments and assisted living scenarios. The project will be executed in the scope of the Marie Curie Action Industry-Academia Partnerships and Path-ways and will bring together the knowledge of five partners, from three differ-ent countries, Portugal, Spain and Turkey. This synergy will be based on trans-fer of knowledge mechanisms such as regular assignments and seminars, and is expected to have repercussions in scientific, technological, social and economic domains.

Two channel adaptive speech enhancement Zaim, Erman; Çiloğlu, Tolga; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014) In this thesis, speech enhancement problem is studied and a speech enhancement system is implemented on TMS320C5505 fixed point DSP. Speech degradation due to the signal leakage into the reference microphone and uncorrelated signals between microphones are studied. Limitations of fixed point implementations are examined. Theoretical complexities of weight adaptation algorithms are examined. Moreover, differences between theoretical and practical complexities of weight adaptation algorithms due to the select...
The effectiveness of a graduate course on science teachers’ percieved TPACK competencies and self-efficacy of TPACK Çetinkaya Aydın, Gamze; Çakıroğlu, Jale (null; 2017-05-21) Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework proposes that effective teaching with technology requires combination of content, technology and pedagogy, and emphasizes the relationships, connections, strengths and weaknesses between and among these components. Following a quantitative multiplecase study approach, the purpose of this research is to test the effectiveness of an instructional design named “Theory – Application – Practice (TAP)” for improving science teachers’ TPACK competencies...
The effects of metacognitive knowledge on the pre-service teachers' participation in the asynchronous online forum Topcu, Abdullah; Ubuz, Behiye (2008-01-01) This paper researches the effects that students' metacognitive knowledge has on their participation in online forum discussions, which form part of a web-based asynchronous course based on a constructivist instructional approach. Metacognitive knowledge increases learners' ability to be independent learners, which is an indispensable characteristic of the distant learner. The study was carried out with 32 third-grade pre-service teachers. Each message in the forum discussions was analyzed in terms of intera...
A Case Study on the Cultivation and Sustainability of Knowledge Sharing and Digital Trust: A COIL Project with Mexican and Turkish University Students Kaçar, Işıl Günseli (2021-11-24) The educational settings in the 21st century are characterized by an emphasis on the development of skillssuch as communication, collaboration, and critical thinking and technology integration. Telecollaboration hasrecently been a widely adopted educational practice where learners are engaged in developing theaforementioned skills via online intercultural interaction in collaboration with their peers on an internationallevel under the supervision of facilitators and/or instructors as an integral part of the...
"Read That Article": Exploring Synergies between Gaze and Speech Interaction Vieira, Diogo; Freitas, Joao Dinis; Acartürk, Cengiz; Teixeira, Antonio; Sousa, Luis; Silva, Samuel; Candeias, Sara; Dias, Miguel Sales (2015-10-28) Gaze information has the potential to benefit Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) tasks, particularly when combined with speech. Gaze can improve our understanding of the user intention, as a secondary input modality, or it can be used as the main input modality by users with some level of permanent or temporary impairments. In this paper we describe a multimodal HCI system prototype which supports speech, gaze and the combination of both. The system has been developed for Active Assisted Living scenarios.
