The general goal of our work is to investigate computational models of dialog that can support effective interaction between people and computer systems. We are particularly interested in the use of dialog for training and education. To support effective communication, dialog systems must facilitate users’ understanding by incrementally presenting only the most relevant information, by evaluati...

OBJECTIVE As a field, pediatric psychology has focused considerable efforts on the education and training of students and practitioners.

In recent years, the development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) has contributed to the generation of a number of interesting initiatives in the field of music education and training in virtual learning environments. However, music education initiatives employing virtual learning environments have replicated and perpetuated the traditional model, resulting in sub-optimal use...

Blended learning has gained considerable popularity in training and education in recent years. This form of learning which combines face-to-face teaching with some technological aids has been widely used in teaching and learning, making it suitable to be applied in teaching and learning mathematics. A courseware has been developed on the topic of application of integration. It is designed to su...

The Council is now overhauling training courses and the syllabus for subnormality will have an accent on 'training and education rather than the old tradition of just keeping patients clean, dry and fed...

Text-to-speech synthesis can play an important role in interactive education and training applications, as voices for animated agents. Such agents need high-quality voices capable of expressing intent and emotion. This paper presents preliminary results in an effort aimed at synthesizing expressive military speech for training applications. Such speech has acoustic and prosodic characteristics ...
