Schneider, Jan; Borner, Dirk; van Rosmalen, Peter; Specht, Marcus – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2016
In our pursue to study effective real-time feedback in Technology Enhanced Learning, we developed the Presentation Trainer, a tool designed to support the practice of nonverbal communication skills for public speaking. The tool tracks the user's voice and body to analyze her performance, and selects the type of real-time feedback to be presented.…

Coninx, Nele; Kreijns, Karel; Jochems, Wim – European Journal of Teacher Education, 2013
Literature shows that feedback that is specific, immediate and goal-oriented is effective on (pre-service) teachers' performance. Synchronous coaching gives this kind of feedback. Due to immediateness of feedback, pre-service teachers can suffer from cognitive load. We propose a set of standardised keywords through which this performance feedback…

van de Pol, Janneke; Volman, Monique; Oort, Frans; Beishuizen, Jos – Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2014
Adapting support contingently to student needs by first diagnosing their current understanding, that is, scaffolding, is considered a key aspect of excellent teaching. The use of classroom scaffolding is rare, however. We therefore investigated the benefits to teachers of a professional development program that was based upon a model of contingent…
