This paper rejects the hardware-based "levels of interaction" made popular in interactive video literature to describe human-machine interaction in favor of a new taxonomy of learner-media interaction based on the type of cognitive engagement experienced by learners. Interaction can be described on three levels, based on the quality of the interaction. A reactive interaction is a response to pr...

Opening the learner model is a process involving the learner as a collaborator in building a model of his beliefs. The interaction plays a crucial role here since it provides both the system and the learner with a medium to reflect on the learner’s beliefs. In this paper we describe a computational framework for the interactive maintenance of open learner models. It adopts some approaches from ...

Negotiated learner models can help improve the accuracy of a learner model as well as promote metacognition. This paper defines directions for negotiating learner models based on multiple data sources, as the range of technologies and interaction types increases.

Open learner models (OLM) are learner models which are accessible to the learner, allowing them to view, and sometimes modify, their model. This openness may raise questions of learner trust in their learner model: if users do not agree with, or trust the information they can see about themselves, their trust in the interaction will likely be reduced. Using a Wizard-of-Oz approach, we consider ...

This study investigated the effects of interactional, motivational, self-regulatory, and situational factors on university students’ online learning outcomes continuation intentions during COVID-19 pandemic. Data were collected from 255 students taking a business course at in southern China. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses revealed that while family financial hardship caused by was ma...

The study explores whether the use of Twitter in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) promotes the interaction among learners. The social network analysis shows that instructors still play a very central role in the social media communication and the communication network between students shrinking over time. The mere use of social media fails to promote learner-learner interaction. More researc...

In order for interactive learning environments to enrich and individualize the communication with learners, they use learner models, which can be seen as explicit representations in the system of some characteristics of that particular learner. These explicit learner models are created during the interaction with the learner and based on the actions performed by him or her. The created content ...

Since the beginning of 2020 following spread COVID-19 epidemic, ODL has become new norm in education either at primary school level or higher institutions. This study is motivated to identify student's perception teaching and learning platform chosen by instructor so that session can be optimized will successfully assist students’ attainment Japanese language course. The purpose this investigat...

The work presented in this paper is concerned with the development of a computational basis for the creation of constructivist learning environments capable of evaluating the process of interaction between the learner and the environment and promoting effective individualised learning based on these evaluations. Central to our approach is the formalisation of the process of learner-environment ...
