This paper proposes to study the problem of identifying intention posts in online discussion forums. For example, in a discussion forum, a user wrote “I plan to buy a camera,” which indicates a buying intention. This intention can be easily exploited by advertisers. To the best of our knowledge, there is still no reported study of this problem. Our research found that this problem is particular...

Research in learning from demonstration can generally be grouped into either imitation learning or intention learning. In imitation learning, the goal is to imitate the observed behavior of an expert and is typically achieved using supervised learning techniques. In intention learning, the goal is to learn the intention that motivated the expert’s behavior and to use a planning algorithm to der...

The main purpose of this study was to explore how IT is integrated into teaching and learning in German bachelor curriculum, and explore the university students' attitude toward the use of integration innovative information technology for learning in Germany. The data was collected by document collection and questionnaires. Multiple Regression Analysis was used to determine the three variables ...

The purpose of this study is to compare the difference of attitude, subjective norm and intention toward using the statistical software between two groups. There are two groups under a natural experimental setting. The experimental group is learning to use the statistical software in a course of software application. The control group is learning to apply the statistical software for analyzing ...

This study integrated the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) and the four stages of Kolb’s learning style—concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conception, and active experimentation—to investigate the factors affecting students’ behavioral intention to use a virtual reality headset (VRH) in learning. The research model, constructed using structural equat...

E-learning has continued to gain the interest of enterprises and universities. As an organization’s deployed e-learning systems grow, it is important for researchers to evaluate the performance of those systems. With the growing trend toward web-based learning systems, behavioral intention models (such as TAM, TPB, TAM2 and UTAUT) seem particularly helpful to examine whether and why people use ...

The learner‟s acceptance of e-learning systems has received extensive attention in prior studies, but how their experience of using e-learning systems impacts on their behavioral intention to re-use those systems has attracted limited research. As the applications of e-learning are still gaining momentum in developing countries, such as China, it is necessary to examine the relationships betwee...

Understanding the factors behind employee’s e-learning continuance intention is becoming imperative as more and more organizations rely on technology to deliver training. While e-learning has the potential to offer cost effective and flexible training methods, practitioners are concerned with low completion rates. Although several reasons have been put forward to explain e-learning attrition, n...

Two experiments examined the task interference that sometimes accrues from having an intention. In standard prospective memory tasks, latency is often slower to an ongoing task performed concurrently with having an intention than it is when no intention is given. If the locus of this slowing resulted from different attentional allocation policies in the two cases, we predicted that the process ...

Two experiments investigated whether acting as a peer model for a video-based modeling example, which entails studying a text with the intention to explain it to others and then actually explaining it on video, would foster learning and transfer. In both experiments, novices were instructed to study a text, either with the intention of being able to complete a test (condition A), or being able ...
