This paper discusses the place of GTE as an approach for bridging the gap between CAL and ITS systems. It presents the DCG, our architecture for dynamic courseware generation which allows dynamic planning of the contents of an instructional course with a given goal. Finally a further development of DCG by combining it with GTE is described which includes explicit representation of generic teach...

Tools support has an important role to play in teaching aspectoriented programming (AOP) by making the crosscutting structure of AOP programs explicit. In this paper we discuss lessons learned from introducing many developers to AOP for the first time, and from developing the AspectJ Development Tools (AJDT) [1] support for Eclipse [2]. To address those lessons we also discuss future plans for ...

The practice of spatial thinking involves applying multiple spatial concepts during processes of reasoning, and it is a constant component of our daily professional and personal lives. Certain concepts such as location, scale, representation, and distance play particularly important roles in the teaching and learning of geographic information systems (GIS). As GIS is increasingly used by people...

We investigate prediction of users’ desktop activities in the Unix domain. The learning techniques we explore do not require explicit user teaching. We show that simple efficient many-class learning can perform well for action prediction, significantly improving over previously published results and baselines. This finding is promising for various human-computer interaction scenarios where a ri...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether the phrase "sniffing the morning air" is useful in positioning patients for tracheal intubation. DESIGN Snapshot survey. SETTING Teaching hospital. PARTICIPANTS 21 anaesthetists. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Angles of neck, line of sight, and hip to shoulder, as measured on a photograph. RESULTS Angles ranged widely, especially line of sight: 7 degrees -37 degr...

Although impeccable development of collocation is critical concern to second language acquisition, EFL learners may find it excessively demanding deal. Therefore, the present study investigated impact teaching verb as an assimilated element collocations on improving Iranian upper-intermediate learners’ writing ability via explicit leading method. Results numerous studies have shown understandin...

Cosmology education has become an integral part of modern physics courses. Directed by National Curricula, major UK examination boards have developed syllabi that contain explicit statements about the model of the Big Bang and the strong observational evidence that supports it. This work examines the similarities and differences in these specifications, addresses when cosmology could be taught ...

This paper provides a brief overview of an implicit training method used for teaching autonomous agents to represent humans in 3D Virtual Worlds without any explicit training efforts being required.
