13. Focused
track
1:
Simplificator
The
tool
should:
§ make
complex,
domain-­‐specific
texts
easier
to
understand
to
novice/non-­‐
expert
people
by
elabora7ng
a
simple
summary
§ analyse
and
summarise
complex
abstracts
and
research
in
simpler
terms
-­‐
eventually
a
‘hierarchy
of
simplicity’
to
create
‘versions’
for
different
ages
and
abili7es
(via
a
simple
and
intui7ve
textual/graphical
representa7on,
i.e.
knowledge
map)
§ link
difficult
words
to
wik7onary
or
wikipedia

14. Focused
track
2:
Pathfinder
The
tool
should:
§ ease
access
to
recommenda7ons
and
guidance
when
chosing
appropriate
curriculum
of
courses
and
related
resources
§ use
mul7ple
sources
to
suggest
classes
or
resources
(for
example,
recommend
one
course
from
Coursera,
one
from
another
MOOC,
and
readings
from
reading
list)
§ match
learning
needs
and
contexts
to
opportuni7es
from
mul7ple,
heterogeneous
sources
