The intention of this paper is to show relevant issues (resulting from theoretical and empiric research) about how Microworld can be used to elicit the building of knowledge and to encourage collaborative learning. For that purpose, we have been investigating how to manage information overflow and develop incentives to collaborative learning using Microworld through WebMapQuest projects of inve...

Institutions of higher education are being called upon to provide a more robust pathway to a college degree and improve upon the advanced workforce for the needs of the 21 century. While active collaborative learning environments have been encouraged in higher education to improve student engagement, there is a gap in the literature when it comes to connecting the two research areas of collabor...

Usage of discourse markers in tutorial language can make the difference between stilted and natural sounding dialogue. In this paper we describe some simple rules for selection of discourse markers. These rules were derived for use in an intelligent tutoring system by applying decision-tree machine learning to human tutoring language. The fact that these selection rules operate within the envir...

Dynamic geometry environments (DGEs) provide computer-based environments to construct and manipulate geometric figures with great ease. Research has shown that DGEs has positive impact on student motivation, engagement, and achievement in mathematics learning. However, the adoption of DGEs by mathematics teachers varies substantially worldwide. This paper described Macau secondary schools teach...

We present a formal model of intention grounding for robots in HRI which models the user and robot’s own current intentions simultaneously. Central to the model are interactive state machines, and strength-of-evidence functions, which are evaluations of the degree to which an agent’s current intention is being communicated publicly. The model has so far been used in a simple pick-and-place robo...

During the pandemic period, education sector was heavily impacted involving transformations of instructional delivery from face-to-face to online mode. To date, we know that virtual learning environment has been posing heavy demands particularly on students. Learning their own homes, they had learn in isolation, deprived support instructor and peers as conventional classrooms. As continue pursu...

Using cross-sectional and longitudinal data from expatriates in China, the authors investigated the roles of general, work, and interaction adjustment, as well as work stress, as mediators between the antecedents (learning, proving, and avoiding goal orientations, and perceived organizational support) and expatriate outcome (job performance and premature return intention) relationships. Results...

We present and discuss four important yet underserved research questions critical to the future of sharedenvironment human-robot collaboration. We begin with a brief survey of research surrounding individual components required for a complete collaborative robot control system, discussing the current state of the art in Learning from Demonstration, active learning, adaptive planning systems, an...

the purpose of this study is to explore and classify the perceptions of the phenomenon of hypocrisy in organization from viewpoint of employees in a university using phenomenography, so that achieving to a deeper understanding of this phenomenon. sampling was done by maximum variation method and sample size was determined 30 people using theoretical saturation. some open semi-structural intervi...
