Many tutors offer students reference material or tips that they can access as needed. We have logged data about student use of references with Deep Thought logic tutor which to understand why and how references are used. We find evidence that students use these references in systematic ways that change over the course of the tutor, and can be predictive of rule application errors. We can use th...

The University of Southern Queensland (USQ) has offered online units via the Internet since 1997. Experience gained from delivering in an online teaching/learning environment reveals a number of pedagogical issues in this delivery method. The Instructional Design (ID) team at the Distance Education Centre is developing a framework of teaching/learning elements critical for the successful design...

An adapted ant colony algorithm is proposed to adapt e-content to learner’s profile. The pertinence of proposed units keeps learners motivated. A model of categorization of course’s units is presented. Two learning paths are discussed based on a predefined graph. In addition, the ant algorithm is simulated on the proposed model. The adapted algorithm requires a definition of a new pheromone whi...

In this article we study limits of models that contain a dimensionful parameter such as the mass of the relativistic point-particle. The limits are analogous to the massless limit of the particle and may be thought of as high energy limits. We present the ideas and work through several examples in a (hopefully) pedagogical manner. Along the way we derive several new results.

This document describes the realization of “Gea 2: A New Earth”, a serious game for supporting STEM teaching in high school, coping with both technological and pedagogical challenges, and thought as a supporting teaching tool to be used in classes, as an alternative to the more traditional frontal lessons.

The text contains information on the history of pedagogical thought. author’s intention was to show universal goals and educational values ideals throughout (from antiquity present).
