This paper presents a multimodal semantic analysis of accessible Brazilian short films using a frame-based annotation approach. We introduce a subset of the Audition dataset, comprising six short films from the animation and documentary genres. We analysed three communicative modes: original audio, audio description, and visual content. Trained annotators semantically annotated each mode following the FrameNet Brazil multimodal methodology. To compare meaning across modalities, we used cosine similarity over frame-semantic representations. Results show that audio description aligns more closely with video content than original audio, reflecting its role in translating visual meaning into language. Our findings demonstrate the effectiveness of frame semantics in modelling meaning across modalities and provide quantitative evidence of audio description as a bridge between visual and verbal communication. The dataset and annotation strategies are a valuable resource for research on multimodal representation, semantic similarity, and accessible media.

Knowledge tracing, the process of estimating students’ mastery over concepts from their past performance and predicting future outcomes, often relies on binary pass/fail predictions. This hinders the provision of specific feedback by failing to diagnose precise errors. We present an error-tracing model for learning programming that advances traditional knowledge tracing by employing multi-label classification to forecast exact errors students may generate. Through experiments on a real student dataset, we validate our approach and compare it to two baseline knowledge-tracing methods. We demonstrate an improved ability to predict specific errors, for first attempts and for subsequent attempts at individual problems.
