This paper presents a new semantics for inductive empirical knowledge. The epistemic agent is represented concretely as a learner who processes new inputs through time and who forms new beliefs from those inputs by means of a concrete, computable learning program. The agent’s belief state is represented hyperintensionally as a set of time-indexed sentences. Knowledge is interpreted as avoidance...

Nowadays, instructional technologies are the enabler for educators to have more choices in course planning, course design, and lecturing. These technologies not only strengthen the communication between instructors and learners, but also let the learners get an easily access their course materials at anytime and from anywhere. As a result, many educational institutes, including formal universit...

We have implemented ubiquitous computing technology in a primary school setting to support rich classroom activities particularly in the field of early literacy. After initial tests have corroborated the benefit of this technology with respect to attaining curricular goals and to better supporting learner-centred classroom methodologies, we are now exploring specific intelligent support mechani...

An extensive analysis of the college teaching literature (over 350 items) suggests that the perspective of perhaps the most highly effective college teachers has yet to be conceptualized, at least within a comprehensive developmental framework. This paper articulates that perspective-called here Systemocentrism (or teacher/learner-centeredness). The perspective b two distinctive elements-attent...

A learner corpus is a useful resource for developing automatic assessment techniques for implementation in a computer-assisted language learning system. However, presently, learner corpora are only helpful in terms of evaluating the accuracy of learner output (speaking and writing). Therefore, the present study proposes a learner corpus annotated with evaluation results regarding the accuracy a...

The rate of technological progression seems to have encouraged teachers and researchers to reassess their pedagogic beliefs in an attempt to maintain their control over the learning process and the influx of authentic materials. With regard to the field of language teaching, technology seems to be demanding a re-examination of pedagogies in order to find ways of making use of current technology...

The paper describes a learner corpus of Czech, currently under development. The corpus captures Czech as used by nonnative speakers. We discuss its structure, the layered annotation of errors and the annotation process.
