Room-scale virtual reality (VR) holds great potential as a medium for communication and collaboration in remote and same-time, same-place settings. Related work has established that movement realism can create a strong sense of social presence, even in the absence of photorealism. Here, we explore the noteworthy attributes of communicative interaction using embodied minimal avatars in room-scal...

The focus was on describing what students do when they are taking reading comprehension tests by asking students to verbalize their thoughts. The strategies were further compared with participa...

An empirical study comparing the model development process followed by experts in DiscreteEvent Simulation (DES) and System Dynamics (SD) modelling is undertaken. Verbal Protocol Analysis (VPA) is used to study the modelling process followed by ten expert modellers (5 SD and 5 DES). Participants are asked to build simulation models based on a case study and to think aloud while modelling. The g...

Detection, prediction and mastery of complex situations are crucial to the competitiveness of networked businesses, the efficiency of internet of services and dynamic distributed infrastructures in manifold domains such as finance/banking, logistics, automotive, telecommunication, e-health and life sciences. Complex Event Processing (CEP) is an enabling technology to achieve actionable, situati...

In user studies, eye tracking is often used in combination with other recordings, such as think-aloud protocols. However, it is difficult to analyze the eye tracking data and transcribed recordings together because of missing data alignment and integration. We suggest the use of word-sized eye tracking visualizations to augment the transcript with important events that occurred concurrently to ...

This study sought to explore the possible relationship between reading anxiety and reading proficiency and also between reading anxiety and language learners’ use of reading strategies. The majority of studies on language anxiety have been quantitative to date. This study was conducted in two phases. The first phase was quantitative, and the second consisted of a series of case studies using in...

e-Learning has become a platform for students to gain and expand their knowledge through mobile applications or web-based systems. Even though e-learning systems usually aim facilitate students' understanding of the subject, some fail convey underlying learning outcomes. These circumstances emerge as most methods tools attract engage in studies continuously. Therefore, overcome problem, Persuas...
