This paper describes features and purposes for opening the learner model to the learner. Building on previous studies of use of a range of open learner models, it considers the features that are preferred by university level, experienced open learner model users. Recommendations are presented to help guide open learner model designers in their choices of features to make available to learners, ...

This paper addresses the time-series modelling of high dimensional data. Currently, the hidden Markov model (HMM) is the most popular and successful model especially in speech recognition. However, there are well known shortcomings in HMMs particularly in the modelling of the correlation between successive observation vectors; that is, inter-frame correlation. Standard diagonal covariance matri...

Universities are being pressured from a range of forces to move into delivery of courses via online methods. While the literature is replete with promises for the use of information technology (IT) in the teaching and learning environment of higher education institutions, it is difficult for those institutions to take a strategic and informed approach to its implementation.

The models are inspired by normative theories on business ethics, and are designated as archetypes that describe the objectives and responsibilities of parties in collaboration: 1) The Slaver model prescribes that a university should sell students as slaves for business and...
