In this paper, we propose an approach to modelling learner interaction behaviour by combining learners’ interaction protocols with different variables that affect their selections, and interpret this model with the aim to characterise learners’ activity. Moreover, we investigate the issue of how this information could be externalised to learners in order to support reflection and develop their ...

Animated child characters are increasingly important for educational and entertainment content geared towards younger users. While motion capture technology creates realistic and believable motion for adult characters, the same type of data is hard to collect for young children. We aim to algorithmically transform adult motion capture data to look child-like. We implemented a warping based styl...

In practical terms standards refer to outcomes, and thus an outcome based approach to clinical education...

Personalized recommenders have proved to be of use as a solution to reduce the information overload ‎problem. Especially in Adaptive Hypermedia System, a recommender is the main module that delivers ‎suitable learning objects to learners. Recommenders suffer from the cold-start and the sparsity problems. ‎Furthermore, obtaining learner’s preferences is cumbersome. Most studies have only focused...
