Simulation- and video game-based role-playing techniques have been proven effective in changing behavior and enhancing positive decision making in a variety of professional settings, including education, the military, and health care. Although the need for developing assessment frameworks for learning outcomes has been clearly defined, there is a significant gap between the variety of existing ...

This paper describes a method for learner modelling for use within simulation-based learning environments. The goal of the learner modelling system is to provide the learner with advice on discovery learning. The system analyzes the evidence that a learner has generated for a specific hypothesis, assesses whether the learner needs support on the discovery process, and the nature of that support...

Learner preferences of students have been analysed within two modules that have been given in the department of media using Röll’s learner preference model. A qualitative analysis of the results of an online learner preference test based on this model has been conducted. This analysis showed that for the majority of the students the revealed results were valid. Starting from current methods use...

In this paper, we present the architecture of an adaptive web-based concept map assessment tool, named COMPASS, which aims to support the assessment as well as the learning process. The presentation of the main modules of the tool focuses on the representation of the domain knowledge and the learner model, the diagnosis of the learner’s knowledge and the generation of the adaptive feedback. Bas...

In technology-enhanced learning, activity-based learner models can provide evidence for competence assessment. Such models are the foundation for learning and teaching support, such as: adaptation, assessment, and competence analytics, recommendations, and so on. This paper analyses how to construct activity-based learner models based on existing data in the Moodle learning management system. B...

Technologic and pharmacologic advances have improved school attendance for students with chronic neurological conditions. Supporting the special needs of these students presents challenges for parents, school nurses, school staff, and health care providers. Many school nurses have less confidence in managing some neurological conditions, thus identifying a need for continuing education. Educati...

This paper presents the multimedia product for teaching Natural Sciences to 10-12 years old children. In this product three pedagogical agents, Teacher and two pupils guide the learner through the virtual environment. The inclusion of a team of pedagogical agents permits us to create a micro-model of lesson activity and gives a reliable support of individual learner differences. The script-base...

With the range of educational tools available it is now realistic for learner models to take account of broader information, and there are strong arguments for placing open learner models in the centre of environments with diverse sources of data [1],[2],[3]. This Interactive Event will demonstrate the Next-TELL approach to facilitating teachers’ use of data from a variety of sources, and will ...
