It is often unclear how a game contributes to student learning, or how it should be used in a course. This paper proposes a method to su...

In this paper we address the important task of automated discovery of speech act categories in dialogue-based, multi-party educational games. Speech acts are important in dialogue-based educational systems because they help infer the student speaker’s intentions (the task of speech act classification) which in turn is crucial to providing adequate feedback and scaffolding. A key step in the spe...

We discuss the potential challenges and benefits of ut...

The popularity of problem-based learning (PBL) reflects medical educators' recognition that case study can enhance the preclinical medical school curriculum. However, the PBL method itself has features, particularly its reliance on small-group work with tutor-facilitators, that are expensive to implement and that limit the potential educational value of case study. The author systematically ana...
