The presentation concerns the “Minerva” project co-financed by E.U. aiming at identifying and promoting “good practice” in the design and delivery of e-learning courses (i.e., activities that teachers/tutors may use to foster social dynamics allowing participants to advance in knowledge construction). Accordingly to the principles of action-research, the project has been implemented in four sub...

Self-regulated learners are successful because of their ability to select learning strategies, monitor their learning outcomes and adapt them accordingly. However, it is not easy to measure the outcomes of a learning strategy especially while learning. We present an architecture that allows students to gauge the effectiveness of learning behavior after the learning episode by using an interface...

A growing number of higher education institutions have adopted asynchronous and synchronous Web-based learning platforms to improve students’ learning efficiency and increase learning satisfaction in the past decade. Unlike traditional face-to-face learning methods, e-learning platforms allow teachers to communicate with students and discuss course content anytime or anywhere. In addition, the ...

Learning from experience is a central physiological and theoretical idea in adult language learning which has become increasingly important in the field of second language acquisition (SLA) and is closely connected to task-based language teaching (TBLT). Accordingly, this study was designed to investigate the role of experience-based learning strategies in developing male and female intermediat...

AbstractAccuracy in identifying the subjects’ intentions for moving their different limbs from EEG signals is regarded as an important factor in the studies related to BCI. In fact, the complexity of motor-imagination and low amount of signal-to-noise ratio for EEG signal makes this identification as a difficult task. In order to overcome these complexities, many techniques such as variou...
