This paper outlines the development of a learning retrieval agent. Task of this agent is to extract knowledge of the Active Semantic Network in respect to user-requests. Based on a reinforcement learning approach, the agent learns to interpret the user’s intention. Especially, the learning algorithm focuses on the retrieval of complex long distant relations. Increasing its learnt knowledge with...

This study empirically evaluates the technology acceptance model drawn from Information Systems (IS) literature to investigate how user beliefs and attitudes influence learning-object use among higher education learners by evaluating the relationships between perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude, behavioural intentions and actual use. In the study, 601 potential learningobject ...

Utilizing learning management system (LMS) in higher education and the factors could explain it is an emerging research field. Limited has investigated influencing adoption of LMS as a distinct e-learning well these studies mainly investigate determinants intention to use from students less point view university instructors. This study investigates that acceptance faculty members. A version tec...

This paper proposes a method of speech intention understanding based on a spoken dialogue corpus to which the intention tags are given. The intention tag expresses the task-dependent intention of the speaker, and therefore, the proper understanding enables a spoken dialogue system to take appropriate actions. We have tagged about 35000 utterances in the CIAIR incar speech database. In our metho...

Anticipation is crucial for fluent human-robot interaction, which allows a robot to independently coordinate its actions with human beings in joint activities. An anticipatory robot relies on a predictive model of its human partners, and selects its own action according to the model’s predictions. Intention inference and decision making are key elements towards such anticipatory robots. In this...

This paper concerns ScenEdit authoring environment, a graphical tool dedicated to design learning scenarios. The environment allows teacherdesigners to structure the design of scenarios by eliciting intentions, strategies and interactions which are part of the ISiS goal-oriented framework. ScenEdit aims at favouring sharing and reuse practices by providing patterns for each type of component (i...

Collaborative technologies support group work in project-based environments. In this study, we enhance the technology acceptance model to explain the factors that influence the acceptance of Google Applications for collaborative learning. The enhanced model was empirically evaluated using survey data collected from 136 students enrolled in a full-time degree program that used Google Application...

The current article provides an overview of the behavioural intention of students towards family forming. The aim is to test the impact of the socio-demographic background, family-related attitudes and the orientations of young adults and the opinion of significant others on the preference of family form. The theoretical framework focuses on the reasoned action theory and on the dispute between...

Technology-enhanced learning (TEL) is the use of a computer or other technology which provides education courses training for students, such as online courses, off-line content, mixed-mode delivery. The current study aims at developing model to examine effect resource availability and students’ subject interest on intention adopt TEL. data were collected from 157 students University Ha’il analy...
