Abstract
Multimediality and multimodality have demonstrated significant potential supporting students in learning activities; providing them with multimodal interaction can be a crucial issue for improving accessibility to the multimedia contents in learning environments. In fact, involving multiple input and output modalities enables a broader spectrum of users with different ages, skill levels and abilities to access these contents. In this paper, we present AMPLE, an advanced multimodal platform for e-learning that provides users with a multimodal access to an educational social network. The platform is based on a distributed architecture that integrates social networking technologies and multimodal facilities, enabling a collaborative learning experience to learners.
