Introduction This paper presents a theoretical framework we draw on when designing and developing ICT-based systems for mathematics learning and teaching. Over recent years there has been increasingly widespread debate over the mediation role that ICT-based systems can play within mathematics education. For some time research in this field has focused either on mathematics teaching on the one h...

In this article we describe the emerging area of text classification research focused on the problem of collaborative learning process analysis both from a broad perspective and more specifically in terms of a publicly available tool set called TagHelper tools. Analyzing the variety of pedagogically valuable facets of learners’ interactions is a time consuming and effortful process. Improving a...

The aim of this study was to describe and find out motivational English language learning strategies through computers among Iranian EFL learners and find out how learners’ motivations change towards English language learning through computers.The mixed method approach (quantitative and qualitative) was employed in this study. A total of 84 (out of 130) female freshman university learners from ...

Teaching computer architecture (at any level) is not an easy task. A critical mass of educators has begun using visualizations of different computer architectures based on simulators to enhance learning. Here we present three representative computer simulators for learning which show: (1) a growing consensus for computer simulation as a teaching tool for complex dynamic processes such as comput...

This research studied using curvature and support vector machines (SVMs) to identify manufacturing processes of mechanical parts. Prior developments in computer vision and graphics has been able to recognize shapes of 2D and 3D models. This work contributes a technique for recognizing manufacturing processes from CAD models. Prismatic machined and cast-then-machined are two typical processes fo...

reading development and instruction is a pedagogical priority at all academic levels. historically, in the educational field, numerous efforts have been made to facilitate the complex process of foreign language reading comprehension. more recently, increasing attention has been paid to the use of computers for developing reading comprehension skills and various efforts have been made in this r...

This article presents a conceptual analysis of collaboration scripts used in face-to-face and computer-mediated collaborative learning. Collaboration scripts are scaffolds that aim to improve collaboration through structuring the interactive processes between two or more learning partners. Collaboration scripts consist of at least five components: (a) learning objectives, (b) type of activities...
