Enabling interactive access to multimedia content and evaluating content-consumption behaviors and experiences involve several different research areas, which are covered at many different conferences. For four years, the Workshop on Interactive Content Consumption (WSICC) series offered a forum for combining interdisciplinary, comprehensive views, inspiring new discussions related to interactive multimedia. Here, the authors reflect on the outcome of the series.

One of the success factors of Work Integrated Learning (WIL) is to provide theappropriate content to the users, both suitable for the topics they are currently working on, andtheir experience level in these topics. Our main contributions in this paper are (i) overcomingthe problem of sparse content annotation by using a network based recommendation approachcalled Associative Network, which exploits the user context as input; (ii) using snippets for notonly highlighting relevant parts of documents, but also serving as a basic concept enabling theWIL system to handle text-based and audiovisual content the same way; and (iii) using the WebTool for Ontology Evaluation (WTE) toolkit for finding the best default semantic similaritymeasure of the Associative Network for new domains. The approach presented is employed inthe software platform APOSDLE, which is designed to enable knowledge workers to learn atwork.
