This study aims at investigating the effect of dynamic assessment (DA) on L2 writing achievement if applied via blogging as a Web 2.0 tool, as well as examining which pattern of interaction is more conducive to learning in such an environment. The results of the study indicate that using weblogs to provide mediation contributes to the enhancement of the overall writing performance, vocabulary a...

This study examined naturally-occurring university classroom interactions at Iranian universities and provided an analysis of silence patterns as politeness strategies used by male and female students.

This paper discusses and presents interaction patterns in user interfaces. These patterns are focused on solutions to problems end-users have when interacting with systems. The patterns take an end-user perspective which leads to a format where usability is the essential design quality. The format is discussed and presented along with twenty patterns that have been written in that format.

The development of multimodal interfaces and algorithms for multimodal integration requires knowledge of integration patterns that represent how people use multiple modalities. We analyzed multimodal interaction with three different applications. Semantic analysis revealed that multimodal inputs can exhibit cooperation other than complementary and redundancy. Analysis of the relationship betwee...
