This paper describes the use of interactive computer graphics and game technologies in a new mathematical modelling and simulation course at KTH Royal Institute of Technology that commenced in January 2015. In order to better engage students in the subject, elements of the course involved real-time physics scenarios using computer game technologies. An important secondary aim in the course was ...

Most classification problems associate a single class to each example or instance. However, there are many classification tasks where each instance can be associated with one or more classes. This group of problems represents an area known as multi-label classification. One typical example of multi-label classification problems is the classification of documents, where each document can be assi...

In Learning Process Engines, a main concern is to deliver rich pedagogical learning scenarios. However current e-learning systems are not completely capable of handling complex role structures and learning activity flows. To solve this issue, an activity instantiation model based on role access control is proposed. This model is capable of ensuring the completeness of the learning flow for each...

1 Ahadi and Lister (2013) found that many of their introductory programming students had fallen behind as early as week 3 of semester, and those students often then stayed behind. Our later work (Ahadi, Lister and Teague 2014) supported that finding, for students at another institution. In this paper, we go one step further than those earlier studies by observing a number of students as they co...

This paper presents an engineering process in order to build pedagogical "dispositives" on Web 2.0 applications. This engineering process relies on three tasks: modeling the "dispositive", defining its context and building it. The main feature of our process is to wrap the building functionalities of a Web Application by Web Services. To consume these services, we use the Model Driven Engineeri...

TERENCE is an FP7 ICT European project , highly multidisciplinary, that is developing an adaptive learning system for supporting poor comprehenders and their educators. Its learning material are stories and games, explicitly designed for classes of primary schools poor comprehenders, where classes were created via an extensive analysis of the context of use and user requirements. Its learning t...

This demonstration paper presents the Integrated Learning Design Environment (ILDE). ILDE is being developed in the METIS project, which aims at promoting the adoption of learning design by providing integrated support to teachers throughout the whole design and implementation process (or lifecycle). ILDE integrates existing freeand open-source tools that include: codesign support for teacher c...

We describe the Situated Pedagogical Authoring (SitPed) system that seeks to allow non-technical authors to create ITS content for soft-skills training, such as counseling skills. SitPed is built on the assertion that authoring tools should use the learner’s perspective to the greatest extent possible. SitPed provides tools for creating tasks lists, authoring assessment knowledge, and creating ...

Graphics processing units (GPUs) found in consumer hardware have emerged as first choice for computational-intensive image processing tasks, e.g., real-time computer tomography (CT) reconstruction. However, the GPU programming paradigm is rather intricate. To leverage the potential of GPUs for a broad audience, this paper is concerned with a self-contained, pedagogical implementation of the pro...

Economic contribution and impact studies are common tasks for regional economists, but the semantics of the discipline suffer from a lack of standardization with respect to differences between economic contributions, impacts and benefits. These terms refer to 3 distinct metrics which are useful for answering different questions and each has situations when their use is appropriate. This article...
