Game designers and researchers have sought to create gameful environments that consider user preferences to increase engagement and motivation. In this sense, it is essential to identify the most suitable game elements for users' profiles. Designers and researchers must choose strategies to classify users into predefined profiles and select the…

Possible symptoms of intellectual disability (ID) include delayed physical development that becomes more pronounced as the disability progresses, delayed development of gross and fine motor skills, sensory perception problems, and difficulty grasping the integrity of objects. Although there is no cure or reversal, research has shown that extensive…

In this article, we investigate a systematic workflow that supports the learning engineering process of formulating the starting question for a conversational module based on existing learning materials, specifying the input that transformer-based language models need to function as classifiers, and specifying the adaptive dialogue structure,…

With the popularity of online one-to-one tutoring, there are emerging concerns about the quality and effectiveness of this kind of tutoring. Although there are some evaluation methods available, they are heavily relied on manual coding by experts, which is too costly. Therefore, using machine learning to predict instruction quality automatically…

Automating the classification of instructional strategies from a large-scale online tutorial dialogue corpus is indispensable to the design of dialogue-based intelligent tutoring systems. Despite many existing studies employing supervised machine learning (ML) models to automate the classification process, they concluded that building a…

This article aims to provide a systematic review of existing research on the use of digital game-based learning (DGBL) technology for foreign language (English) in preschool and elementary schools. Digital game-based technology enables learning to become more interactive and inspirational, thereby enhancing language acquisition. The authors…
