Interactive story-based learning environments offer significant potential for crafting narrative tutorial guidance to create pedagogically effective learning experiences that are tailored to individual students. This paper reports on an empirical evaluation of machine-learned models of narrative-centered tutorial planning for story-based learning environments. We investigate differences in lear...

The possibility of reusing learning material is very important to designing learning environments for real-life learning. The reusability of learning material is based on three main features: modularity, discoverability and interoperability. Several researchers on Intelligent Learning Environments have proposed the use of Artificial Intelligence through architectures based on agent societies. T...

System dynamics-based interactive learning environments (ILEs) have been developed to address shortcomings in policy design and decision making with regard to complex systems. A primary purpose of these ILEs is to identify effective learning strategies for these domains. Typically, these ILEs are themselves complex, but little is understood about how we come to understand complex, dynamic domai...

Diverse studies using computer applications have been implemented to improve the learning of children with visual disabilities. A growing line of research uses audio-based interactive interfaces to enhance learning and cognition in these children. The development of short-term memory and mathematics learning through virtual environments has not been emphasized in these studies. This work presen...

Many benefits have been claimed for visualizations, a general assumption being that learning is facilitated. However, several researchers argue that little is known about the cognitive value of graphical representations, be they schematic visualizations, such as diagrams or more realistic, such as virtual reality. The study reported in the paper investigated whether the type of visualization (s...

Inspired by a three-year Creative University ‘arena’ initiative at Luleå University of Technology in Sweden, an international team of faculty researchers conducted an exploratory study in 2005, which aimed to investigate the efficacy of an interactive design and evaluation process for technology-enabled collaborative learning environments. This applied research approach was designed as a collab...

During the last couple of decades our perception of what constitutes a good learning environment has changed. Thanks to the use of technology, education is evolving from a passive model towards a more productive model, where students generate knowledge, teach each other, and collaborate on activities that make learning fun and interesting. In some previous works we have adopted this attitude: c...

Virtual reality has become an increasingly important topic in the field of education research, going from a tool interest to practice. In this paper, we document and summarize studies associated with our 4-year design project, Collaborative Learning Environments Reality (CLEVR). Our goal is share lessons gleaned development game so that others may learn experiences as they are designing, develo...
