Inaccessible Island vs Urban Education in Greece. Knowledge-Based Summarization of Educational Videos by Analyzing Students’ Watching Patterns
During the last decade, the problem of inequality in education has been studied by several researchers, especially regarding urban and rural (inaccessible) areas. Most studies conclude that funding and adoption of new technologies are necessary to reduce inequalities. However they do not propose any...
