Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) provide students with adaptive instruction and can facilitate the acquisition of problem solving skills in an interactive environment. This paper discusses the role of pedagogical strategies that have been implemented to facilitate the development of simulation modelling knowledge. The learning environment integrates case-based reasoning with interactive tools...

We address the problem of transferring skills learned from interactive demonstrations. Learning from Demonstration is an effective method for quickly learning to complete a task; however, task demonstrations are often provided within a particular environment, and thus cannot be immediately repeated in unfamiliar environments that differ in object configurations and features. We describe our ong...

Geographic information systems (GIS) are computer-based tools for geographic data analysis and spatial visualization. They have become one of the information and communications technologies for education at all levels. This article reviews the current status of GIS in schools, analyzes the requirements of a GIS-based learning environment from constructivist perspectives, and discusses the major...

Feedback is an important component of interactive learning software. A conclusion from cognitive learning theory is that good software must give the learner more information about what he did. Following the ideas of constructivist learning theory the user should be in control of both the time and the level of feedback he receives. At the same time the feedback system must identify and review di...

This paper presents the e-Learning project Eye Learn. The main aim of this project is to integrate in the Bachelor courses Fundamentals of Photogrammetry (FoP) und Remote Sensing (RS) given by the Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (PRS) Group, a WEB-based interactive e-Learning environment. These courses are compulsory and introductory, forming the base for many more courses at the Master level...

The aim of this study is investing of the affecting factors on organizational learning readiness on national petrochemical co. staff. The results of this research is using implement in training processes. E-learning is a special type of distance learning that relies on network-based technologies and using transmission media such as the Internet or intranet and also multimedia tools, in an inter...

This chapter presents the Stanza Logo-Motoria, an Interactive Multimodal Environment (IME) for learning, which the authors have been developing and experimenting with since 2009 in several educational institutions. The aim of this chapter is a) to describe the activities carried out by the Resonant Memory, the first application for the Stanza Logo-Motoria, b) to illustrate the validation protoc...

The use of animated pedagogical agents with emotional capabilities in an interactive learning environment has been found to have a positive impact on learners. Aristotle contended that three elements; emotion, logic, and character are crucial for successful persuasion, i.e. in winning others over to one’s way of thinking. We have designed a pedagogical agent that acts in an interactive learning...

This paper proposes new results in the eld of software assistants helping users of interactive tools in the task of automatically performing repetitive tasks. We propose an innovative integration of such an assistant into an interactive programming environment. In this context, learning to recognize situations in which repetitive tasks occur is diicult because languages describing users actions...
