Narrated Video Clips Improve Student Learning

Learning Word Meaning And Grammatical Constructions From Narrated Video Events

The objective of this research is to develop a system for miniature language learning based on a minimum of prewired language-specific functionality, that is compatible with observations of perceptual and language capabilities in human development. In the proposed system, meaning is extracted from video images based on detection of physical contact and its parameters. Mapping of sentence form t...

Learning from narrated instruction videos

Automatic assistants could guide a person or a robot in performing new tasks, such as changing a car tire or repotting a plant. Creating such assistants, however, is non-trivial and requires understanding of visual and verbal content of a video. Towards this goal, we here address the problem of automatically learning the main steps of a task from a set of narrated instruction videos. We develop...

A Simulated Student Can Improve Collaborative Learning

This paper describes a Simulated Student architecture designed to detect and avoid three situations that decrease the benefits of learning in collaboration. These are off-topic conversations, students with passive behaviour and problems related to students’ learning. In order to check the efficiency of the model in a real case a Simulated Student, which has the features described in the model, ...

Transforming Student Learning through Digital Video

The rapid development and the widespread use of affordable and high-quality video technology is changing the field of educational research. In particular, digital video has been increasingly employed in classroom research in two different ways: as a tool for documenting classroom practice and as a stimulus for reflecting upon practice. The advantage of video technology in providing researchers ...
