Multimodal data have the potential to explore emerging learning practices that extend human cognitive capacities. A critical issue stretching in many multimodal analytics (MLA) systems and studies is current focus aimed at supporting researchers model learner behaviours, rather than directly learners. Moreover, MLA are designed deployed without learners' involvement. We argue order create inter...

Following the current research in conversation analysis field of second language (L2) learning, present study demonstrates that beginner-level adult learners actively contribute to vocabulary explanation sequences by mobilising multimodal resources including depictive gestures, gaze, and short verbal turns. The data consist video-recordings whole-class interactions a L2 French classroom for adu...

This paper focuses on oncolytic Newcastle disease virus (NDV). This paper summarizes (i) the peculiarities of this virus as an anti-cancer and immune stimulatory agent and (ii) the approaches to further harness this virus as a vector to combat cancer. Special emphasis is given on combining virus therapy with cell therapy and on improving tumor targeting. The review will include some of the auth...

My emphasis in this paper is on floor control in multiparty discourse: the approach is psycholinguistic. This perspective includes turn management, turn exchange and coordination; how to recognize the dominant speaker even when he or she is not speaking, and a theory of all this. The data to be examined comprise a multimodal depiction of a 5-party meeting (a US Air Force war gaming session) and...

Advanced graphical interfaces are increasingly dynamic, multimodal and involve multithreaded dialogues. This paper provides a theoretical perspective that can support an analysis of the issues involved in their use: the Interacting Cognitive Subsystems (ICS) framework. This framework is used to examine alternative ways in which information from different data streams can be blended within perce...

Several researchers stress the fact that students focus their learning according to the content in the assessment and to how this is carried out. Assessment in this particular study is not in a “usual” formal situation. Instead it refers to assessment which can be found in the interaction between teacher and pupil during hands-on work in mathematics. The analytical tools are derived from resear...
