ConceptCloud - Entwicklung einer Applikation zur Unterstützung von Reflexionsprozessen im Online-Lernportal Go-Lab

Heterogene Online-Lernumgebungen wie Go-Lab bieten unterschiedliche Repräsentationen von Wissensobjekten zur Unterstützung der kognitiven und metakognitiven Fähigkeiten von Lernenden. Verschiedene „Inquiry Learning Apps“ unterstützen dabei eigenständiges Explorieren und Aneignen von Domänenwissen. Geeignete Repräsentationsformen wie z.B. Concept Maps oder Wiki-Texte können den Lernprozess unter...

Let's go lab: a platform for evaluation of spoken dialog systems with real world users

This short paper is intended to advertise Let’s Go Lab, a platform for the evaluation of spoken dialog research. Unlike other dialog platforms, in addition to example dialog data and a portable software system, Let’s Go Lab affords evaluation with real users. Let’s Go has served the Pittsburgh public with bus schedule information since 2005, answering more than 52,000 calls to date.
