Understanding the impact of feedback in complex learning activities, such as writing, is challenging. We contribute a combination of writing environments and data and process mining tools that can provide new ways of measuring this impact. We use the tools in a field experiment in an engineering course (N=45). Responses (timing, amount and types of text changes) were examined using log data and...

accidents and their resulting losses are one of the critical public health issues. identification the near misses offer the opportunity to improve safety by developing effective prevention approach. the main objective of this study was to investigate the effects of two types of intervention in increasing the participation of first line managers in reporting near misses. in order to increase the...

Analytical results of stabilizing of unstable equilibria of twoand three-dimensional linear systems are presented. The stabilization method is based on time-delayed feedback. Effective necessary and/or sufficient conditions for stabilizing the considered systems in terms of its parameters are obtained. The potential of delayed state and output feedback controls is shown. The theorems proved sho...

Children's speaking rates under delayed auditory feedback (DAF) do not appear to be significantly affected by the extent of the frequency envelope in the auditory feedback from portable and conventional OAF units. The electroacoustic characteristics of conventional research and portable electronic delayed auditory feedback instrumentation are substantially different. A portable DAF unit has a m...

Organizing data into hierarchies is natural for humans. However, there is little work in machine learning that explores human-machine mixed-initiative approaches to organizing data into hierarchical clusters. In this paper we consider mixed-initiative clustering of a user’s email, in which the machine produces (initial and retrained) hierarchical clusterings of email, and the user reviews and e...

In this paper we address the problem of prioritising feedback on the basis of multiple heterogeneous pieces of information in exploratory learning. The problem arises when multiple types of feedback are required in order to address different types of conceptual difficulties, accommodate particular learning behaviours identified during exploration, and provide appropriate support depending on th...

since the emergence of the process-oriented approach to second language writing instruction two main questions have been what and how error feedback should be given to the students. the question of whether teachers should provide feedback on grammar in the writing assignments of english as a foreign language students, and if so how, has been a matter of considerable debate in the field of secon...

This paper describes an experiment and its results concerning research that has been going on for a number of years in the area of anthropomorphic user interface feedback. The main aims of the research have been to examine the effectiveness and user satisfaction of anthropomorphic feedback in various domains. The results are of use to all interactive systems designers, particularly when dealing...

The purposes of this study were to explore the effects and the validity of on-line peer assessment in high schools and to analyze effects of various types of peer feedback on students. The participating students, a total of 184 10th graders, developed their individual course projects by involving the on-line peer assessment learning activities in a computer course. The peer assessment activitie...

Can implicit feedback substitute for explicit ratings in recommender systems? If so, we could avoid the difficulties associated with gathering explicit ratings from users. How, then, can we capture useful information unobtrusively, and how might we use that information to make recommendations? In this paper we identify three types of implicit feedback and suggest two strategies for using implic...
