We report the results of mining student learning data from SlideTutor – a cognitive tutor in a medical diagnostic domain. The analysis was aimed at finding both individual learning patterns as well as common misconceptions that students possessed. We have discovered that indeed there are distinct learner stereotypes: hint-driven learners, failuredriven learners, and a mixed group of learners th...

This paper argues that pedagogic efficacy for multimedia packages cannot be achieved by experimental or by summative research in the absence of a comprehensive pedagogical screenwriting framework. Following a summary of relevant literature, such a framework is offered, consisting of micro-level design and development guidelines. These guidelines concentrate on achieving pedagogic synergy betwee...

The contribution presents a brief characteristic of structural and object models used for development and maintenance of information systems. It also describes utilisation of these models for generation of pedagogic information system IS STUDENT at the Technical University in Košice. It describes possibility of application of UML language (Unified modelling language) in life cycle of pedagogic ...

Studenl evaluations of college instruction provide one critical source of information for the improvement of courses, curriculum, and practitioners' pedagogic efforts. Increasingly, online-delivered course evaluations are being put to use for eliciting student feedback in Web-based as well as face-to-face courses. Two studies were conducted in order to, first, understand the level of student re...

Big data and learning analytics for higher education is a rapidly growing field with disruptive potential. However, there has been little research reported on a pedagogic method that helps to create an actionable policy from big data. In recent years, there is a meaningful debate that big data alone cannot improve teaching, and more research is needed from a pedagogic point of view. We, therefo...

In 2012, a pedagogic tool for monochromatic holography was realized for pedagogic and popular science purposes [Th. Voslion and A. Escarguel, Eur. J. Phys 33, 1803 (2012)]. Following its success, we decided to upgrade it to make larger colour holograms and new pedagogic experiments. The resulting kit includes all the necessary equipment to produce 4” x 5” colour holograms with a simple optical ...

The paper describes functions of pedagogic information system (IS Student) and presents vision of new pedagogic information system as a part of complex solution of university information system. Present system involves all faculties and is based on modern technologies (SQL, client/server architecture, WWW interface). Due to increasing requirements of the users we decided to redesign pedagogic i...

Textbooks play a pivotal role in language learning classrooms. The problem is, among a wide range of textbooks available, which one is more appropriate for a specific classroom and a group of learners. In order to evaluate ELT textbooks, theorists and writers have offered different kinds of evaluative frameworks based on a number of principles and criteria. This study evaluates one example of s...
