SU(5)U(1) grand unification with minimal seesaw and -portal dark matter
We propose a grand unified SU(5)U(1) model, where the standard
SU(5) grand unified theory is supplemented by minimal seesaw and a right-handed
neutrino dark matter with an introduction of a global -parity. In the
presence of three right-handed neutrinos (RHNs), the model is free from all
gauge and mixed-gravitational anomalies. The SU(5) symmetry is broken into the
Standard Model (SM) gauge group at GeV in
the standard manner, while the U(1) symmetry breaking occurs at the TeV
scale, which generates the TeV-scale mass of the U(1) gauge boson
( boson) and the three Majorana RHNs. A unique -odd RHN is
stable and serves as the dark matter (DM) in the present Universe, while the
remaining two RHNs work to generate the SM neutrino masses through the minimal
seesaw. We investigate the -portal RHN DM scenario in this model
context, and find that the constraints from the DM relic abundance and the
search results for a boson resonance at the Large Hadron Collider
(LHC) are complementary to narrow down the allowed parameter region, which will
be fully covered by the future LHC experiments (for the boson mass
5 TeV). We also briefly discuss the successful implementation of
Baryogenesis and cosmological inflation scenarios in the present model.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figures, revised plots, accepted for publication in pl

The Collective Building of Knowledge in Collaborative Learning Environments
The intention of this chapter is to investigate how collaborative learning environments (CLEs) can be used to elicit the collective building of knowledge. This work discusses CLEs as lively cognitive systems and looks at some strategies that might contribute to the improvement of significant pedagogical practices. The study is supported by rhizome principles, whose characteristics allow us to understand the process of selecting and connecting what is relevant and meaningful for the collective building of knowledge. A brief theoretical and conceptual approach is presented and major contributions and difficulties about collaborative learning environments are discussed. New questions and future trends about the collective building of knowledge are suggested

OpenLearn and knowledge maps for language learning
This chapter presents new methodologies designed to facilitate language acquisition in open learning communities via open educational resources and knowledge mapping. It specifically focuses on the OpenLearn project developed by the Open University. This offers a virtual learning environment based on Moodle platform with free educational materials and knowledge media tools such as the instant messaging MSG, the video webconference FlashMeeting and the knowledge mapping software tool Compendium. In this work, these technologies and mapping techniques are introduced in order to promote open language learning. Ways in which teachers and students can make use of these OpenLearn tools and resources are discussed and some benefits fully described
