چکیده

Willow is a free-text Adaptive Computer Assisted Assessment system, which supports natural language processing and user modeling. In this paper we discuss the benefits coming from extending Willow with recommendations. The approach combines human computer interaction methods to elicit the recommendations with data mining techniques to adjust their definition. Following a scenario-based approach, 12 recommendations were designed and delivered in a large scale evaluation with 377 learners. A statistically significant positive impact was found on indicators dealing with the engagement in the course, the learning effectiveness and efficiency, as well as the knowledge acquisition. We present the overall system functionality, the interaction among the different subsystems involved and some evaluation findings.

Ensemble-based Top-k Recommender System Considering Incomplete Data

Recommender systems have been widely used in e-commerce applications. They are a subclass of information filtering system, used to either predict whether a user will prefer an item (prediction problem) or identify a set of k items that will be user-interest (Top-k recommendation problem). Demanding sufficient ratings to make robust predictions and suggesting qualified recommendations are two si...

Teaching approaches to Computer Assisted Language Learning

Computers have been used for language teaching ever since the 1960's.Learning a second language is a challenging endeavor, and, for decades now, proponents of computer assisted language learning (CALL) have declared that help is on the horison. We investigate the suitability of deploying speech technology in computer based systems that can be used to teach foreign language skills. In this case,...
