This research deals with learning in digital environments. Adaptive game-based learning considers learners’ preferred learning behavior and adapts the game system accordingly. In order to analyze learning behavior, the focus lies on a specific cognitive style, impulsive and reflective (I/R), which describe behaviors in problem-solving and decision-making environments. Impulsive people tend to r...

Although previous research has demonstrated the benefits of applying the Internet facilities to the learning process, problems with this strategy have also been identified. One of the major difficulties is owing to the lack of an online learning environment that can record the learning portfolio of using the Internet facilities in education, such that the teacher can analyze and evaluate the le...

The majority of educational software is designed for traditional computers, which allow little opportunity for physical manipulation of an environment. Tangible Activities for Geometry (TAG) provides students a tangible learning environment. Currently, however, TAG does not employ adaptive scaffolding techniques. Accordingly, we describe how scaffolding techniques and teachable agent behaviors ...

The growing popularity of computer networks has led researchers to attempt to develop distance learning systems. However, students in network-based learning environments may need additional guidance and assistance when they encounter problems in learning certain concepts. Therefore, how to provide testing and diagnostic mechanisms in a computer-assisted learning environment is an important issu...

Noradrenaline contributes to olfactory-guided behaviors but its role in olfactory learning during adulthood is poorly documented. We investigated its implication in olfactory associative and perceptual learning using local infusion of mixed α1-β adrenergic receptor antagonist (labetalol) in the adult mouse olfactory bulb. We reported that associative learning, as opposed to perceptual learning,...
