The current paradigm in student modeling has continued to show the power of its simplifying assumption of knowledge as a binary and monotonically increasing construct, the value of which directly causes the outcome of student answers to questions. Recent efforts have focused on optimizing the prediction accuracy of responses to questions using student models. Incorporating individual student pa...

The current paradigm in student modeling, Knowledge Tracing, has continued to show the power of its simplifying assumption of knowledge as a binary and monotonically increasing construct, the value of which directly causes the outcome of student answers to questions. Recent efforts have focused on optimizing the prediction accuracy of responses to questions using student models. Incorporating i...

One of the main problems of web-based learning is staying motivated at a sufficient level. Learning games offering challenges and entertainment may stimulate student motivation for learning and mitigate this problem. Web-based learning support systems combined with learning games may efficiently promote learning by encouraging student participation in learning. This study introduces a treasure ...

Student-centered learning is generally defined as any instructional method that purportedly engages students in active learning and critical thinking. The student-centered method of teaching moves the focus from teaching to learning, from the teachers' conveying course concepts via lecture to the understanding of concepts by students. The student-centered method has been used extensively in lec...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate a model for considering general and specific elements of student experience in a gateway course in undergraduate Financial Accounting in a large university on the East Coast, USA. Specifically, the study evaluated a bifactor analytic strategy including a general factor of student classroom experience, conceptualized as student engagement as rooted in fl...

To the new international students who learn Japanese out-class in Japan, it is too hard to find different suitable ways for different students that have different learning characteristics. This paper considers to solve this problem, which is how to help new international students who learn Japanese for out-class learning according student’s own learning frequency. This paper uses learning frequ...

Carnegie Mellon is creating a Digital Dashboard for Learning (DDL) to enable faculty and students to tune their immediate actions (lectures, assignments, study) based on rapid feedback on student progress in learning. The DDL will provide faculty with a timely overview of student progress in blended learning environments supported by the Open Learning Initiative, Carnegie Mellon’s project to de...

LEAP is a coached practice environment that optimizes the learning process by maintaining and consulting a detailed student model. LEAP calculates a student model score for every action, exercise, and topic the student tries, then uses the scores both to provide feedback to the student and to select topics, exercises and actions for the student to practice. Using the student model to focus prac...
