Assim S. Alrajhi – International Journal of Computer-Assisted Language Learning and Teaching, 2024
This study examines and compares L2 grammatical accuracy in digital multimodal writing (DMW) and monomodal text-based writing (TBW). Utilizing a mixed-methods design, the research incorporates a dataset comprising 180 written texts, a questionnaire, and text-based interviews. Sixty EFL learners were assigned to two groups (TBW and DMW) and…

Evans, William S.; Cavanaugh, Robert; Quique, Yina; Boss, Emily; Starns, Jeffrey J.; Hula, William D. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop and pilot a novel treatment framework called "BEARS" (Balancing Effort, Accuracy, and Response Speed). People with aphasia (PWA) have been shown to maladaptively balance speed and accuracy during language tasks. BEARS is designed to train PWA to balance speed-accuracy trade-offs and…

Hofman, Abe D.; Brinkhuis, Matthieu J. S.; Bolsinova, Maria; Klaiber, Jonathan; Maris, Gunter; van der Maas, Han L. J. – Journal of Intelligence, 2020
One of the highest ambitions in educational technology is the move towards personalized learning. To this end, computerized adaptive learning (CAL) systems are developed. A popular method to track the development of student ability and item difficulty, in CAL systems, is the Elo Rating System (ERS). The ERS allows for dynamic model parameters by…

Johnson, Douglas A.; Dickinson, Alyce M. – Psychological Record, 2012
Self-pacing, although often seen as one of the primary benefits of computer-based instruction (CBI), can also result in an important problem, namely, computer-based racing. Computer-based racing is when learners respond so quickly within CBI that mistakes are made, even on well-known material. This study compared traditional CBI with two forms of…

MacDonald, Penny; Garcia-Carbonell, Amparo; Carot, Sierra, Jose Miguel – Language Learning & Technology, 2013
This study focuses on the computer-aided analysis of interlanguage errors made by the participants in the telematic simulation IDEELS (Intercultural Dynamics in European Education through on-Line Simulation). The synchronous and asynchronous communication analysed was part of the MiLC Corpus, a multilingual learner corpus of texts written by…

Student Model Construction: An Interactive Strategy for Mental Models Learning.
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Bland, Ray; Tessmer, Martin – 1999
This research explored the thesis that mental model construction can be an effective instructional strategy for mental models learning by constructing a prototype that embodies this approach. The mental model to be learned was the Internet, including the components of the Internet, their functions, and their relationships to one another. To do…
