Teledu: Transmedia Learning Ecosystem for People at Risk of Exclusion

Abstract

The TELEDU tele-education ecosystem, integrated by software and hardware components, allows the use of Web resources through Interactive Digital TV (iDTV) without the need to be continuously connected. It works with any existing digital TV standard and is especially useful for users who do not have broadband, being a very effective solution in places where there is a digital divide. The user must have, at least, a cell phone with 3G connection and any of these three options: Digital Terrestrial TV (DTT), Satellite TV or Cable TV. The conception of TELEDU is based on the premise that the software will offer a friendly interaction. Based on this, an interoperable, open and scalable environment has been developed, which works with PCs, tablets, smartphones and digital TV, offering a visual interface oriented to children, the elderly and people with functional diversity and people with technophobia. The concept of Transmedia Online Object Content (TOOC) is introduced, so that digital contents are in different formats and people with functional diversity and people with technophobia. The concept of TOOC is introduced, so that digital contents are in different formats (paper book, e-book, post, audio, interactive video, virtual reality, serious game, webinar, etc.), on different devices and platforms, locally or in the cloud, with usable multimodal access designed for everyone, and adapting to each user, regardless of the accessibility problems they have.
