One of the challenges in the contemporary education is improving learner’s learning capability during the learning period through formative assessment in virtual learning environments. The formative assessment process requires learner to be active participants in the learning process by communicating and interacting with the instructor. The formative assessment process accommodates learner resp...

Visualisation is often presented as a means of simplifying information and helping people understand complex data. In this paper we describe a project designing interactive visualisations to support core learner competencies in the broad area of numeracy. The work builds upon: (i) the observation that while spreadsheets are traditional ICT tools, their widespread use means that they are often i...

The use of podcasts in learning has been supported by distance education theories that deal with the role of interaction as well as communication in improving teaching and learning. New technologies such as podcasts can have influential learner support in distance education and address learner cognitive requirements by incorporating communication within study resources. The present study invest...

The study adopted a sequential mixed-methods approach to investigate student teachers’ learner agency in teamwork setting at Qatar University. In the qualitative phase, total of 10 teachers enrolled course adopting STEAM pedagogical participated in-depth interviews. Qualitative analysis identified seven sources for practicing teams. Using this data, Learner Agency Teamwork Settings survey was c...

Social media technology provides educators with an opportunity to further engage learners in the online classroom, as well as to support development of learner skills and competencies. This case study research project explores the role of social media in promoting cognitive and meta-cognitive learner development and in creating more self-directed and capable learners using a heutagogical teachi...

AMPLIA is an Intelligent Learning Multi-Agent Environment. It is designed to support training of diagnostic reasoning and modeling of domains with complex and uncertain knowledge. AMPLIA focuses on the medical area, where learner’s modeling tasks will consist of creating a Bayesian network for a problem the system will present. A pedagogic negotiation process (managed by an intelligent Mediator...

In technology-enhanced learning, activity-based learner models can provide evidence for competence assessment. Such models are the foundation for learning and teaching support, such as: adaptation, assessment, and competence analytics, recommendations, and so on. This paper analyses how to construct activity-based learner models based on existing data in the Moodle learning management system. B...

In this paper a novel approach is presented how visualisation of knowledge and competence structures can be employed in order to support personalisation in e-learning systems. Information visualisation strategies are used to present ontology-based domain knowledge and related competence structures to the learner. In contrast to adaptive e-learning systems which employ domain and user models for...

AMPLIA is a multi-agent intelligent learning environment designed to support training of diagnostic reasoning and modelling of domains with complex and uncertain knowledge. AMPLIA focuses on the medical area. It is a system that deals with uncertainty under the Bayesian network approach, where learner-modelling tasks will consist of creating a Bayesian network for a problem the system will pres...
