The advent of Internet as a global communication medium has brought a new focus on an area of research in designing Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) that has not been adequately considered so far. In the main, this has been due to the localised nature of most academic environments limiting the sources of information and an implicit assumption that information and knowledge are synonymous. Thes...

While most supervised machine learning models assume that training examples are sampled at random or adversarially, this article is concerned with models of learning from a cooperative teacher that selects “helpful” training examples. The number of training examples a learner needs for identifying a concept in a given class C of possible target concepts (sample complexity of C) is lower in mode...

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The case presents an option to constructively respond to the perplexing phenomena of high attrition and dropout among Malaysian online distance learners despite the efficiency and various communicative and enabling components offered by the new learning and delivery technologies. It is written from the perspective of an instructional designer. The distinctive feature of the ca...

We propose ReMagicMirror, a system to help people learn actions (e.g., martial arts, dances). We first capture the motions of a teacher performing the action to learn, using two RGB-D cameras. Next, we fit a parametric human body model to the depth data and texture it using the color data, reconstructing the teacher’s motion and appearance. The learner is then shown the ReMagicMirror system, wh...

Wil is a writer, teacher, learning technologist and keen language learner. teachers in using classroom and web technology, and written e-learning materials for or who are used to the traditional 'teacher and class' model of education. and online learning, in the hands of a welltrained teacher, both delivery methods. Setting plays a crucial role in effective teaching, and learning and eLearning ...

Machine Learning (ML) is traditionally formalized as the study of learning concepts from labeled examples. We are interested in providing a way for a human teacher to interact with a learner using natural instructions, thus allowing the teacher to communicate the relevant domain expertise to the learner without necessarily knowing anything about the internal representations used for learning. W...

The purpose of this article is to build a model of interaction between the learner and the teacher, where the teacher performs the role of an Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS). If a teacher in the learning process is replaced with a computer system, it should be equipped with a system to adapt to the learner’s cognitive state. We studied factors that influence the learner’s perception of the in...

 The tool presented in this work allows the teacher to create objective questions in order to get a formative evaluation having as its main goal to track the development of the student in the learning process. The aim of the tool is to create a dependence among test questions, building a tree of questions where the teacher can verify the “path” followed by the student during the test, getting ...

Two studies compared children's attention to sample composition - whether a sample provides a diverse representation of a category of interest - during teacher-led and learner-driven learning contexts. In Study 1 (n = 48), 5-year-olds attended to sample composition to make inferences about biological properties only when samples were presented by a knowledgeable teacher. In contrast, adults att...
