We present a user study to investigate which factors affect student attention to user-adaptive hints during interaction with an educational computer game. The game is Prime Climb, an educational game designed to provide individualized support for learning number factorization skills in the form of hints based on a model of student learning. We use eye-tracking data to capture user attention pat...

This paper examines the design and development of an e-learning tutoring system consisting of two types of components: administrative and educational. The administrative component includes consulting teaching material, enrolling students on courses, registering and unregistering teachers and students, and managing academic certification (in line with the ISO 9001 standard). The educational comp...

This research is focused on the use of knowledge management techniques to develop reusable web-based intellectual assets to leverage the learning process for individual learners. The literature review reveals that corporate solutions of knowledge management are not directly applicable due to the lack of adaptivity needed to provide individualized feedback to the learner, and their localized nat...

We investigate the effects of cueing, in a multimedia programme for the individualized training of the ‘whole task’ to prepare a plea, on the learning outcomes of 43 sophomore law students. The cueing formats of worked-out examples (WOEs), process worksheets (PWs), and both WOE and PW are compared to a no-cueing control condition. Our hypotheses that WOE enhance near transfer, by stimulating im...

In this descriptive study an instrument is presented that has been developed to provide physicians with feedback about their strengths and weaknesses in facilitating student learning during patient contacts. The instrument is strongly theory based, i.e. it is based on current general theories of context-bound learning environments, and forms of facilitation promoting transfer of knowledge to ac...

Interactive learning environments have been built to support various audiences from preschool to university students. However, it is not yet known how to bring the great promise of tutorial dialogue systems, which engage students in rich natural language, to bear for young learners such as those in grades K-5. This doctoral consortium paper presents our goal of developing a dialogue system in t...

In this article we discuss studies of individualized and community-based interventions for control of asthma in children. We posit that successful programs share 8 common characteristics: (1) recognition of the multiple factors affecting childhood asthma; (2) careful assessment of participants' risk factors and needs; (3) tailoring of program elements to address participants' risk factors and n...

This study investigated the effect of online teaching and individualized instruction in piano lessons department music on students’ TPACK skills achievements. The research was conducted basis a pretest-posttest control group design. In experimental study, education carried out with learning face-to-face instruction, group, activities were using current distance method. Teaching lasted 20 lesson...

This chapter discusses how the use of pedagogical agents in educational applications may influence the relative efficiency of instructional conditions, a concept proposed by Paas & Merriënboer (1993), which combines the measures of mental effort and task performance to determine, for example, how efficient certain settings are regarding their potential to promote learning. The authors describe ...

The proposed goal oriented knowledge acquisition and assessment are based on the flexible educational model and allows to implement an adaptive control of the enhanced learning process according to the requirements of student’s knowledge level, his state of cognition and subject learning history. The enhanced learner knowledge model specifies how the cognition state of the user will be achieved...
