As internet technologies make their way into developing areas, so too does the possibility of education and training being delivered to the people living in those previously unserved areas. The growing catalogue of free, high quality courseware, when combined with the newly acquired means of delivery, creates the potential for millions of people in the developing world to acquire a good educati...

Eliciting student participation in large college classes is difficult yet critical to learning. This paper describes a design experiment with the Classroom Feedback System (CFS), a computer-mediated feedback system for promoting class interaction. We delineate challenges to interaction based on successive background and pilot studies. CFS addresses these challenges by enabling students to post ...

this study investigated the effectiveness of explicit pragmatic instruction on the acquisition of requests by college-level english as foreign language (efl) learners in taiwan. the goal was to determine first whether the use of explicit pragmatic instruction had a positive effect on efl learners’ pragmatic competence. second, the relative effectiveness of presenting pragmatics through two deli...

Students were expected to employ self-regulated learning (SRL) skills take control of their in computer-mediated environments during emergency remote teaching (ERT). Considering its importance, it is a must foster SRL through various practices English writing classes. Peer feedback practical that enables students monitor writing, skills, and facilitate learning. Therefore, the study aimed explo...

this paper proposes an efficient tracking method for velocity control of an electro-hydraulic servo system (ehss) in the presence of flow nonlinearities and internal friction. the tracking method controller is a kind of feedback error learning structure. in the proposed method, the feedback error learning (fel) algorithm is used to control the velocity. there is no need to compute the system ja...

Feedback intervention in computer-mediated situations can be interpreted as a way to augment communication. According to this idea, this study investigates the effect of providing a group with a Social Network Analysis-based feedback on communication in an on-line game where players talk to each other via textual chat. Three different situations across two different sessions were compared: an I...
