Diana Kirk; Andrew Luxton-Reilly; Ewan Tempero – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2025
Objectives: Code style is an important aspect of text-based programming because programs written with good style are considered easier to understand and change and so improve the maintainability of the delivered software product. However teaching code style is complicated by the existence of many style guides and standards that contain…

Jasute, Egle; Dagiene, Valentina – Informatics in Education, 2014
A long-term observation of students' usage of a dynamic geometry in a classroom at all grade levels has challenged to develop an approach for learning and understanding mathematics in an easier way for both students and teachers. The paper deals with the results of a study that investigates the process and outcomes of the implementation of…

Zemirline, N.; Bourda, Y.; Reynaud, C. – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2012
Today, there is a real challenge to enable personalized access to information. Several systems have been proposed to address this challenge including Adaptive Hypermedia Systems (AHSs). However, the specification of adaptation strategies remains a difficult task for creators of such systems. In this paper, we consider the problem of the definition…

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…

Gonzalez-Videgaray, MariCarmen; Hernandez-Zamora, Gregorio; del-Rio-Martinez, Jesus H. – Computers & Education, 2009
Drawing on the experience of development and use of a virtual learning environment (VLE) at a public Mexican university, this article explores the tension between the most common definitions and attributes of learning object (LO) in the mainstream literature, and the teacher's practices around the creation and incorporation of LOs in the VLE. This…

Lynch, Collin; Ashley, Kevin D.; Pinkwart, Niels; Aleven, Vincent – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2009
In this paper we consider prior definitions of the terms "ill-defined domain" and "ill-defined problem". We then present alternate definitions that better support research at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and Education. In our view both problems and domains are ill-defined when essential concepts, relations, or criteria are un- or…

Agostinho, Shirley; Bennett, Sue; Lockyer, Lori; Harper, Barry – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2004
This paper reports recent work in developing of structures and processes that support university teachers and instructional designers incorporating learning objects into higher education focused learning designs. The aim of the project is to develop a framework to guide the design and implementation of high quality learning experiences. This…
