A motor learning support system for speedy motion of an upper extremity is proposed. A learner throws a ball underhanded using a force feedback device, and then the learner can perform the motion feeling ball’s weight. Throwing motion is speedy and complicate, so we built a training environment that the learner can select challenge level that is suitable to learner’s ability. Furthermore, the s...

It is common to think of a "learner model" as a global description of a student's understanding of domain content. We propose a notion of learner model where the emphasis is on the modelling process rather than the global description. In this re-formulation there is no one single learner model in the traditional sense, but a virtual infinity of potential models, computed "just in time" about on...

Open learner models (OLM) can support self-regulated learning, collaborative interaction, and navigation in adaptive educational systems. Previous research has found that learners have a range of preferences for learner model visualisation. However, research has focused mainly on visualisations that are available in a single system, meaning that not all visualisations have been compared to each...

The work presented in this paper is concerned with the development of a computational basis for the creation of constructivist learning environments capable of evaluating the process of interaction between the learner and the environment and promoting effective individualised learning based on these evaluations. Central to our approach is the formalisation of the process of learner-environment ...

In this paper we present the framework of a LIfe Support Simulation Application (LISSA) designed to teach and learn cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) skills. LISSA exploits video game technology to link in a single framework computer-based simulations of CPR emergencies with the functionalities of e-learning platforms. Emergency situations are presented as problems that the learner has to sol...

Fill-in-the-blank items are commonly featured in computer-assisted language learning (CALL) systems. An item displays a sentence with a blank, and often proposes a number of choices for filling it. These choices should include one correct answer and several plausible distractors. We describe a system that, given an English corpus, automatically generates distractors to produce items for preposi...

In designing intelligent web based educational systems different student needs and preferences should be taken into consideration. Personalization of a system usually results in an increase in its effectiveness, which can be measured by the degree to which learning outcomes are achieved. However, taking into account the individual requirements of each learner and adjusting the system to their n...

This research addresses the use of mobile devices with both embedded and external sensors to provide contextualized help, advice, and remediation to learners engaged in real-world learn-by-doing tasks. This work is situated within the context of learning a complex procedure, in particular emergency responders learning to conduct urban search and rescue operations. Research issues include the de...

Computer based learning with Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) has become a meaningful supplement to traditional lectures at school and at universities. A highly flexible and adaptive tutoring process model is required as a central component of ITS to adequately support cognitive processes of the learner, e.g. the process of knowledge application and the process of diagnostic reasoning. Wherea...

This article argues that the TENC ePortfolio definition should integrate rhetorical, pedagogical, social, and technical perspectives. The rhetorical perspective is needed to show the learner ́s competences, achievements and history; the pedagogical perspective aims at supporting learner ́s selfreflection, through the definition of competences mastered, review and creation of (new) CDPs, creation ...
