Constraint-Based Temporal Reasoning for E-Learning with LODE

Constraint-based Temporal Reasoning and E-Learning Tools for Deaf Users. A Literature Review

Good literacy, i.e. a reasonable ability to read and write, is essential for everyone. It ensures a continuous process of personal maturation and a positive social integration. Deaf children encounter several difficulties in learning to read and write due to their disability. New technologies can be usefully employed to create tools for supporting them in tackling this problem. Mich’s PhD work ...

Global Temporal Reasoning on Stories with LODE: a Logic-based E-tool for Deaf Childrenen

LODE is a web tool for deaf children, which aims at stimulating global reasoning on written estories. This paper reports on the design of LODE, and an initial prototype application of LODE. First, we motivate the need of an e-tool such as LODE for deaf children, explain its reasoning exercises and the expected learning outcomes. Then the paper describes the design of the clientserver architectu...

E-Learning and Deaf Children: A Logic-Based Web Tool

LODE is a LOgic-based web tool for Italian DEaf children. LODE stimulate them to globally reason on an e-story written in a verbal language, such as Italian. In this paper, we focus on temporal reasoning; children are invited to reason on a temporally rich e-story through apt exercises and with the support of an automated reasoner. To the best of our knowledge, LODE is the first E-Learning tool...

Evaluations of the LODE Temporal Reasoning Tool with Hearing and Deaf Children

LODE is a web tool for children that are novice readers, and is primarily meant for deaf children. It proposes written stories and interactive games for reasoning, globally, on the stories. In this paper, first, we motivate the rationale of LODE, and explain its reasoning games. Then we briefly describe the design of the web client-server architecture of LODE; the server employs a constraint pr...
