Pardos, Zachary A.; Dailey, Matthew D.; Heffernan, Neil T. – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2011
The well established, gold standard approach to finding out what works in education research is to run a randomized controlled trial (RCT) using a standard pre-test and post-test design. RCTs have been used in the intelligent tutoring community for decades to determine which questions and tutorial feedback work best. Practically speaking, however,…

Huang, Shiu-Li; Shiu, Jung-Hung – Educational Technology & Society, 2012
The success of Web 2.0 inspires e-learning to evolve into e-learning 2.0, which exploits collective intelligence to achieve user-centric learning. However, searching for suitable learning paths and content for achieving a learning goal is time consuming and troublesome on e-learning 2.0 platforms. Therefore, introducing formal learning in these…

Kert, Serhat Bahadir; Kurt, Adile Askim – Interactive Learning Environments, 2012
Electronic performance support systems (EPSSs) are the software programs commonly used in commercial environments since the early 1990s. These software programs are generally called performance-based systems and focus on the complete job rather than providing individual development. For that reason, the usage of these systems in learning…
