The complete MOVING plaorm is publicly available, and its

users are able to improve their informaon literacy and become

data savvy informaonal professionals by using this unique

combinaon of a working and a training environment in one

plaorm.

In the working environment of the plaorm the users are able

to perform scalable real-me search, manage mulple

document types, and dierent le formats. Also, with the faceted search, are able to retrieve various

kinds of documents such as scienc arcles, books, video lectures, other videos, and metadata. The

Graph visualisaon highlights relaons among documents and related enes (authors, organisaons,

etc.) and oers an alternave way of exploring the search results. Nevertheless, a classical search list is

sll also featured. For example, the user can click on an author name and retrieve all documents

authored by this person. To ensure a smooth user experience, dedicated tools allow us to separate

dierent authors with the same name or connect dierent versions of the same document.

Furthermore, the Adapve Training Support (ATS) via the Learn-how-to-search widget provides

illustrated feedback, in order to help users get familiar with the plaorm and all its features.

In the training environment of the plaorm the users are able to access learning resources. All the

learning content is organised and directly accessible to the users. The “learning” page gives an

overview of the available learning materials, including the plaorm demo videos and video tutorials,

the Learning Tracks for Informaon Literacy 2.0, and the MOVING MOOC “Science 2.0 and open

research methods”. The plaorm demos are videos that were produced by JSI and are hosted by

Videolectures.net. They are embedded in the Learning Environment so users can learn about the

dierent plaorm features and technologies developed within the MOVING project. Users can improve

their data and informaon literacy as well as digital competences through the MOVING Learning Tracks

for Informaon Literacy 2.0. The ATS in the working environment of the plaorm regularly oers

learning prompts via the “Curriculum reecon” widget to users, based on their prior knowledge, and

guides them to the microlearning sessions in the Learning Environment. Addionally, the users can

access the MOVING MOOC: a 4-week online course hosted on the MOVING plaorm, designed to give

young scholars a comprehensive introducon to open science methods and open research workows.

Welcome to our h issue of the MOVING newsleer. The aim of this issue is to inform the community,

our readers and supporters that the complete version of the MOVING plaorm is publicly available; to

expose the latest technological acvies of the MOVING consorum (such as the recommender

system, the integraon of lecture video fragmentaon technologies in Videolectures. NET, the plaorm

evaluaon, the setup of the 2

round of the MOVING MOOC); and to report our disseminaon

acvies during the last period, and beyond the end of the project (such as the organisaon of a user

workshop at EY’s premises, the TUD’s interview at GeneraonR, and the parcipaon at various events

such as the Open Science Barcamp and the Pharma Day).

NET portal

The MOVING plaorm hosts a vast amount of heterogeneous

documents, such as publicaons, video lectures and tutorials, social

media posts, etc. To help users to deal with this vast amount of

informaon the recommender system suggests interesng

documents. In this way, it enables users to discover documents

without explicity searching for them, since somemes users do not

exactly know what to search, or they may nd interesng documents

not directly related to their current search. The MOVING

recommender system exploits the new HCF-IDF semanc proling

method to build users’ and documents’ proles, and then provides

recommendaons based on the match of document-user proles. The

user proles are based on the search history, collected through the

user logging module of the plaorm which collects user-interacon

data. The recommender system is integrated in the search page of the

plaorm. Users can obtain recommendaons before searching for documents, so that, alternavely to

searching for content, they can click on one of the suggested documents which they nd interesng.

The developer of the VideoLectures.NET portal,

JSI, is part of the MOVING consorum, which has

been working on developing new and more

eecve methods for lecture video fragmentaon

and fragment-level annotaon, to allow for ne-

grained access to lecture video collecons. In the

latest MOVING method, developed by CERTH,

automacally-generated speech transcripts of the

lecture video are analysed with the help of word

embeddings that are generated from pre-trained

state-of-the-art neural networks. This lecture

video fragmentaon method is part of the

MOVING plaorm, and its results are also being

ingested in the VideoLectures.NET portal, making

it possible for the users of both plaorms to

access and view specic fragments of lecture

videos that cater to their informaon needs. For

the moment in VideoLectures.NET are 8,896 video

lectures that are accompanied with fragments

generated CERTH (out of a total of 21,992 lectures

in the portal). With the fragments JSI enriches the

video lectures that are not accompanied by

presentaon slides. To illustrate how the fragment

-level informaon can be accessed and used,

please watch the following demo: hp://

videolectures.net/moving_plaorm_

VLNchapters/. For technical details on the lecture

fragmentaon method, and for accessing a new

arcially-generated dataset of synthec video

lecture transcripts that has been created and

released by MOVING, based on real

VideoLectures.NET data, see paper on “Temporal

MOVING MOOC 2

round and plans beyond the end of the project

The 2

round of the MOOC ended on 17

of February 2019.

This me 300 parcipants registered. Accordingly, and due to

the contribuons of many parcipants, there were many

comments and topics in the forums of the course. The

parcipants acvely exchanged ideas in the forums about

opportunies and challenges of Open Science and engaged

with each other. As part of the course, Open Science expert

and advocate Bianca Kramer accepted our invitaon to give a

webinar, which took place aer the 1

course week.

Quesons from the forum, but also from the 50 parcipants

in the webinar, were answered by Bianca Kramer. In addion,

the parcipants also exchanged their views on Open Science

lively in the webinar chat. In the following three weeks, the

parcipants connued to work on topics such as scholarly

communicaon, informaon discovery (e.g. through Social Web Technologies) and scholarly publicaon (Open Access, Open

Licensing and Altmetrics). Many of the parcipants completed the weekly tasks and were thus able to obtain a cercate at

the end of the course. Together with the Graduate Academy of the TU Dresden, another run of the course on the MOVING

plaorm is currently planned. In the future, the course will be made available to other interested communies.

MOVING at the Pharma Day

Know-Center (KC)

organised a Pharma

Day event on the

and 14

February 2019 at

KC’s premises with

the goal of gaining

rst-hand insights

into the latest

opportunies and challenges of data analycs in the

pharmaceucal industry. Pharma day agenda included key

speaker slots, demonstraons of prototypes and networking

events that encouraged the debate and established

connecons between representaves across the enre

pharmaceucal community. Know-Center brought together

people from pharmaceucal companies of dierent sizes

and outside of the convenonal pharmaceucal areas,

including tech leaders like Siemens. In mulple

demonstraon slots Know-Center presented its broad range

of EU Technology Enhanced Learning projects, including

MOVING, and the wide range of TEL acvies and

prototypes developed within the MOVING project like the

Adapve Training Support consisng of the “Learning-how-

to-search” widget and “Curriculum Reecon” widget, as

well as the MOVING visualisaons including the Concept

Graph and uRank. The event was very successful and it was

aended by more than 30 top sciensts and business

praconers, including 6 speakers.

Early evaluaon of the plaorm has helped to shape a user

friendly interface, that would not only aract users, but also

keep more than half of them acve within the plaorm. The

nal longitudinal evaluaon of users' behaviour has shown

that half of them became advanced users, making use of

MOVING data mining features, such as lters and

visualisaons. The inclusion of learning support widgets

successfully encouraged users to try out MOVING data-

mining features, increasing their acquision of competences

and helping them become informaon-savvy professionals.
