Page 5 1. Abstract Every system, which wants to provide personalized learning services, needs learner models in order to be able to do so. These models are the product of learner assessment and modelling by different sources, and are subject to constant changes and extensions. This Bachelor Thesis presents the conceptualization and implementation of a browsing system for open active learner mod...

Learners are assessed by several systems during their lifelong learning. Those systems can maintain fragments of information about a learner derived from his learning performance and/or assessment in that particular system. Customization services would perform better if they would be able to exchange as many relevant fragments of information about the learner as possible. This paper presents th...

The success of a learning environment can be measured in terms of improvement in learner performances as well as positive learner engagement in metacognitive traits. A large body of educational technology literature establishes a positive correlation between the application of learning technologies and learner performances. In addressing the other aspect of success, this chapter presents a stud...

Recent years have seen a growing recognition of the importance of affect in learning. Efforts are being undertaken to enable intelligent tutoring systems to recognize and respond to learner emotion, but the field has not yet seen the emergence of a fully contextualized model of learner affect. This paper reports on a study of learner affect through an analysis of facial expression in human task...

The aim of this paper is to suggest perspectives on movement capability and skill learning that take into account the intrinsic, meaningful value moving in terms experience mover as a learner knower. Two will be presented discussed here: phenomenology phenomenography, with focus phenomenography. Since some similarities between these two has raised questions caused confusion, attempts clarify, m...

This study investigated the effectiveness of reactive incidental focus on form (FonF) for each learner with regard to different linguistic categories in meaning-oriented EFL classes. To this end, 30 hr of meaningful interactions of upper-intermediate EFL learners were audio-recorded in 2 free discussion classes. Instances of reactive incidental focus-on-form episodes (FFEs), where teachers offe...

Two tools for skill assessment are presented in this paper. First the Adaptive Assessment Tool provides an efficient way for testing the learner's knowledge by posing questions. Second the Self-Evaluation Tool provides a method to assess the learner's knowledge by defining skills based on a controlled vocabulary. In both cases the result is a set of skills which is visualised by the Learner Kno...
