What are interactive multimodal learning environments and how should they be designed to promote students’ learning? In this paper, we offer a cognitive–affective theory of learning with media from which instructional design principles are derived. Then, we review a set of experimental studies in which we found empirical support for five design principles: guided activity, reflection, feedback,...

Traditionally, behaviouristic models have been used for the design of many interactive learning environments. In contrast, we propose a pedagogical model based on social constructivism and phenomenography, which we believe is more adequate when, for instance, information seeking and the use of the WWW are natural components in the learning situation. To see learners as persons who continuously ...

This paper explores the provision of adaptive hints based on attainment levels in the context of supporting the development of young adults’ ICT information processing skills. We describe the design of the LIBE VLE, particularly its personalisation and adaptation features, and a User Study undertaken with young adults at a vocational education centre. Using data collected through the LIBE VLE, ...

Interactive 3D worlds o er an intriguing testbed for the natural language generation community. To complement interactive 3D worlds' rich visualizations, they require signi cant linguistic exibility and communicative power. We explore the major functionalities and architectural implications of natural language generation for three key classes of interactive 3D worlds: selfexplaining 3D environm...
