Work in progress

This section allows a constant communication and sharing of information among the project partners as far as the activities for the different intellectual outputs are concerned. Each project partner upload this section of a three months basis.

Partners' Institution:

Hamburg University of Applied Sciences

Project's period (from/to):

01 January 2022 - 31 December 2023

Activity concerned:

PM - Project Management

Objectives of activities carried out:

Contacting the administration office of HAW Hamburg for european projects, setting up the project documents. Contacting researchers and teachers in the department, who might be stakeholders in the project. Execution of first part of the project related to embedding in literature and knowledge of algorithms and benchmarks. Dissemination of the project.

Contacting the administration office of HAW Hamburg, work on time sheets.
Contacting researchers and teachers in the department, who might be stakeholders in the project. Discussing the results of the first part of the project.
Discuss approaches about development of a recommender system using mathE.

Objectives were:
-Contacting project management within the university
-Meetings with potential stakeholders
-Discussing and developing the learning approach

Up to 22 of June 2023
Gather students to do experiments
Develop the python implementation of the recommender system
Discuss with local stakeholders and analyse results

Objectives were:
-Contacting project management within the university
-Meetings with potential stakeholders
-Discussing and developing the learning approach
-Implementation of a system
-Analysis of results

Up to 22 of December 2023
-carry out dissemination
-develop the recomender system in cooperation with other partners
-develop the applet
-upload reports and applet documentation into iMath platforms
-update time sheets

Description of activities carried out:

-Composing a list of researchers and teachers within our group. We had several meetings as described in the dissemination section. We plan now to involve students by using MathE
-We placed links on several websites of the university and research group in order to disseminate the project.
- Translation of the project brochure in German
-We selected 5 algorithms for an extensive description, that we thing that are very relevant to the project. Specifically, we have experience with all of them in our former investigation.
-We looked for benchmarks which we have been using in our investigation before and described 5 of them
-We describe 10 books and/or articles that have inspired us before and that we think that are of interest to the iMath project.
- Discussions with Karin Landenfeld, the project leader of the german online learning platform viaMint
- Reporting on carried out activities for PR1 about embedding in literature and knowledge of algorithms and benchmarks. We created a list of findings and a presentation for the consortium meeting in Patras.
- We discussed the results and the challenges for PR2 in Patras.
- We included 1 teacher and a student to the project to discuss possible approaches and perform testing with students.

Up to 22 of June 2023
-work on dissemination of the project ideas
-discuss approaches mainly with he partners from Hamburg and Slovenia. We had many online discussions about the approach
-Studing various recommender ideas from a book we added o the literature review
-We were successful in obtaining Málaga students to help in the experiments
-reporting on our findings for the meeting in Hamburg

Up to 22 of December 2023
-contracting a collaboator to help implementing the applet
-inspiring discussions in Hamburg with partners Andrej, Eligius and Pablito. Moreover, we investigated the research question on how to visualise concept maps
-we also scanned the resources
-development of the applet
-lots of discussion on literature
-development of reports
-study tips and write about them

Results Achieved:

- Plan of project activities including dissemination
- List of stakeholder researchers, lecturers and students that will be contacted to be involved
- Number of links placed on websites with the iMath information
- Project brochure in German
- 10 literature papers/books reviewed
- Description of 5 optimisation algorithms
- Description of 3 benchmarks
- Description of 3 student indicators
- Dissemination in terms presenting the project to teachers and researchers at our department. Presentation of iMath to our project partners
- Dissemination activities carried out and reported
- Contribution to discussing possible approaches for the optLearn algorithm with the complete consortium
- Management activities for time sheets and adding co-workers to the project
- Advertising for attracting students within 2 basic math courses
- 13 students provided historical data and 3 students performed the test on the prototype
- Started to supervise a bachelor thesis about the development of a recommendation system

Added up to 22 of June 2023
-Implementations added to github
-obtaining experimental results
-Management activities for the financial report
-Intention to create a report on the idea of adding concept map restrictions to the recommender
-We implemented a recommender strategy based on collaborative filtering

Added up to 22 of December 2023
-Integration of software with Malaga
-Developed applet on image classification
-Technical reports
-upload the tips and a presentation to discuss them
