Students’ multimodal knowledge practices in a makerspace learning environment

Word learning in a multimodal environment

We are creating human machine interfaces which let people communicate with machines using natural modalities including speech and gesture. A problem with current multimodal interfaces is that users are forced to learn the set of words and gestures which the interface understands. We report on a trainable interface which lets the user teach the system words of their choice through natural multim...

Hebbian Learning In A Multimodal Environment

Hebbian learning is a classical non-supervised learning algorithm used in neural networks. Its particularity is to transcribe the correlations between couple of neurons within their connecting synapse. From this idea, we created a robotic task where 2 sensory modalities indicate the same target in order to find out if a neural network equipped with Hebbian learning could naturally exploit the r...

Measuring Students' Flow Experience in a Multimodal Learning Environment: A Case Study

This research paper focuses on the relationship between flow experience and multimodal learning environments. Flow experience has been defined as the state in which an individual feels completely absorbed and fully engaged in an activity. This concentration and complete engagement can lead to optimal learning. Several scholars in the areas of distance learning [2] and game-based learning [3] hi...

Nursing Students' Perspective toward Clinical Learning Environment

Introduction: The prosperity of nursing educational programs depends on the efficiency and sufficiency of clinical experiences. One of the most important factors recognized in this field is learning environment. In this study, different aspects of clinical environment have been evaluated from students' viewpoints. Methods: All interns attaining clinical experiences in the wards of pediatrics, ...
