Affective reasoning holds significant potential for intelligent tutoring systems. Incorporating affective reasoning into pedagogical decision-making capabilities could enable learning environments to create customised experiences that are dynamically tailored to individual students’ ever-changing levels of engagement, interest, motivation and self-efficacy. Because physiological responses are d...

To make a new problem from the original one and to compare their solutions are promising activities to promote a learner to be aware of the structure of these problems. Especially for knowledge-rich problems like word problems in arithmetic, mathematics or physics, this awareness is very important to master the use of solution methods. To realize such exercises in physics, we have developed a c...

This paper describes a narrative based interactive intelligent learning environment which aims to elucidate reasoning using interactive scenarios that may be used in training novices ICU nurses in the application of their knowledge and decision making. Its design is based on an approach to generating narrative from knowledge that has been modelled in specific decision/reasoning domains. The app...

Information technology is an integral part of daily life in many domains, including communication, computing, entertainment, and education. However, despite its pervasiveness, digitalization in various purposes and application in many human-based activities, it still plays the role of assisting and supporting people in manipulating and acquiring information. This study developed a ubiquitous le...

In this paper, a Web-based learning environment developed within the project called Virtual Learning Spaces (EVA, in Spanish) is presented. The environment is composed of knowledge, collaboration, consulting and experimentation spaces as a collection of agents and conventional software components working over the knowledge domains. All user interfaces are Web pages, generated dynamically by ser...

This paper presents a VR-based ILE, which integrates virtual reality (VR) technology into interactive learning environment (ILE). It is said that ILE is composed of Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) and micro world. ILE supports a student's discovery learning activity and fosters his/her creativity and adaptability. Moreover, we integrate VR technology into ILE and build discovery learning envi...

This paper presents a web-based laboratory for distance learners by incorporating simulation and hardware implementation into web-based e-learning systems. It presents a development consisting of laboratory course through internet based on mixed reality technique to setup, run and manipulate set of experiments. Each experiment has been designed in a way that allows the learner to manipulate the...

Received in revised form: Accepted: 17 May 2013 This paper concerns teaching Euclidean geometry at the university level. It is based on the authors’ personal experience. It describes a sequence of learning activities that combine geometrical constructions with explorations, observations, and explanations of facts related to the geometry of triangle. Within this approach, a discussion of the Eul...

In this paper, we describe the design and development of an interactive virtual environment whose objective is to help undergraduate students learn and review the concept and practices of differential leveling. The virtual environment includes realistic terrains and leveling instruments that look, operate, and produce results comparable to the physical ones. It will be integrated in surveying c...

The overall research focuses on the development of an Interactive Evolutionary Design System (IEDS) [Parmee 2002] which integrates machine-based evaluation of engineering criteria and rulebased aesthetic criteria with the designer’s subjective aesthetic evaluation of design solutions. The research described in the paper relates to user-centric intelligent design systems and creativity in design...
