Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Magnisalis, I.; Demetriadis, S.; Karakostas, A. – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2011
This study critically reviews the recently published scientific literature on the design and impact of adaptive and intelligent systems for collaborative learning support (AICLS) systems. The focus is threefold: 1) analyze critical design issues of AICLS systems and organize them under a unifying classification scheme, 2) present research evidence…

Development of an Assistance Environment for Tutors Based on a Co-Adaptive Design Approach
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Lavoue, Elise; George, Sebastien; Prevot, Patrick – Behaviour & Information Technology, 2012
In this article, we present a co-adaptive design approach named TE-Cap (Tutoring Experience Capitalisation) that we applied for the development of an assistance environment for tutors. Since tasks assigned to tutors in educational contexts are not well defined, we are developing an environment which responds to needs which are not precisely…

Linking Pedagogical Theory of Computer Games to their Usability
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Ang, Chee Siang; Avni, Einav; Zaphiris, Panayiotis – International Journal on E-Learning, 2008
This article reviews a range of literature of computer games and learning theories and attempts to establish a link between them by proposing a typology of games which we use as a new usability measure for the development of guidelines for game-based learning. First, we examine game literature in order to understand the key elements that…

Using SOLO to Evaluate an Educational Virtual Environment in a Technology Education Setting
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Padiotis, Ioannis; Mikropoulos, Tassos A. – Educational Technology & Society, 2010
The present research investigates the contribution of an interactive educational virtual environment on milk pasteurization to the learning outcomes of 40 students in a technical secondary school using SOLO taxonomy. After the interaction with the virtual environment the majority of the students moved to higher hierarchical levels of understanding…

Selecting a Virtual World Platform for Learning
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Robbins, Russell W.; Butler, Brian S. – Journal of Information Systems Education, 2009
Like any infrastructure technology, Virtual World (VW) platforms provide affordances that facilitate some activities and hinder others. Although it is theoretically possible for a VW platform to support all types of activities, designers make choices that lead technologies to be more or less suited for different learning objectives. Virtual World…

Using Mutual Information for Adaptive Item Comparison and Student Assessment
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Liu, Chao-Lin – Educational Technology & Society, 2005
The author analyzes properties of mutual information between dichotomous concepts and test items. The properties generalize some common intuitions about item comparison, and provide principled foundations for designing item-selection heuristics for student assessment in computer-assisted educational systems. The proposed item-selection strategies…
