This paper considers learner misconceptions information which is presented to the learner in an open learner model. We suggest that specific information about misconceptions may be of benefit to the learner, to help them reflect on their knowledge and understanding. We investigate acceptance of their misconceptions presented as animations and step-by-step text descriptions by two groups of user...

Discovering the relationship between behavior and personality of learner in the web-based learning environment is a key to guide learners in the learning process.

The relationship between generalization and differentiation fluctuates depending on the ongoing context, which is extracted by the current adaptive capability of the learner. In the present report, we numerically examine the relationship between generalization and differentiation using a novel connectionist model. The simulation results of incremental learning indicate that the newly added the ...
