Learning to argue is prerequisite to solving complex problems in groups, especially when they are multidisciplinary and collaborate online. Environments for Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) can be designed to facilitate argumentative knowledge construction. This study investigates how argumentative knowledge construction in multidisciplinary CSCL groups can be facilitated with a...

The purpose of this study was to determine whether high-school football players showed risks of fluid deficits during two-a-day training (Part 1), and whether implementing a drinking strategy could acutely improve the markers of hydration (Part 2). In Part 1, pre-training urine specific gravity (USG) and pre- and post-training body weight were measured at the morning session for 5 consecutive d...

The present study examined how students’ working memory capacity influences learning from animations with or without guidance. We tested three different conditions: visual guidance, instructional guidance, and no guidance. The results show that especially visual guidance was perceived as being helpful for making references between narration and display of an animation. However, students without...

A lot of people are managing multiple computing devices suited for different purposes, like private and work devices. Integrating applications running on different devices is often a problem, because the services provided by those applications are not meant to be integrated. In this demonstration, we present our XDAI-A framework which enables cross-device integration of services provided by And...

A library strategy has been developed to enable IBM Microelectronics ASIC development to keep pace with rapid technology enhancements and to offer leadingedge performance to ASIC customers. Library elements are designed using migratable design rules to allow designs to be reused in future advanced technologies; and library contents, design methodology, test methodology, and packaging offerings ...

When there are many people who don't need to expect something more than the benefits to take, we will suggest you to have willing to reach all benefits. Be sure and surely do to take this closing the gap between asic and custom tools and techniques for high performance asic design author david chinnery jun 2002 that gives the best reasons to read. When you really need to get the reason why, thi...

As people start to use many applications that require rich forms of user information, being able to share the contents of user models has become important. However, there are significant challenges in providing advanced levels of interoperability as user models are often very diverse in structure, syntax and semantics. This paper introduces FUMES; an approach to user model interoperability betw...

In this study, students studied two different domains in the same Intelligent Tutoring System, Andes. Analysis of 435 log files from 22 subjects indicated that there are two types of interactive behaviours in Andes: domainindependent and domain-specific. We believe the existence of the domain-specific behaviours is one possible reason that similar meta-cognitive behaviors has not been found acr...
