EKPAIDEION
Mr. Mourlas was involved in the proposal submitted by the University of Cyprus, Research Promotion Foundation of Cyprus, with Scientific Coordinator the Professor of Informatics, George Samaras. Mr. Mourlas was the coordinator of the research team at the University of Athens. This program was launched in response to the results conducted by the research of experimental approaches which were implemented in the AdaptiveWeb project. From the AdaptiveWeb project emerged the conclusion that the use of a large parameter range characterizing the individual perceptions and unique cognitive characteristics of the users (such as visual and cognitive processes, learning styles and emotional state), are important elements in the concept of personalization, customization, and development of the user-centered applications, since they present practical application in the information space and may affect the structural characteristics of conventional hypermedia content by adjusting, based on certain rules, towards the perceptual preferences of the users. Therefore, the learning ability of the users is enhanced (as a process), as their cognitive overload is tempered, as well as their effectiveness in search of cognitive goals and their satisfaction when navigating a Web site.
