Abdi, Solmaz; Khosravi, Hassan; Sadiq, Shazia; Gasevic, Dragan – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2019
The Elo rating system has been recognised as an effective method for modelling students and items within adaptive educational systems. The existing Elo-based models have the limiting assumption that items are only tagged with a single concept and are mainly studied in the context of adaptive testing systems. In this paper, we introduce a…

Ballance, Oliver James – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2017
One of the most promising avenues of research in computer-assisted language learning is the potential for language learners to make use of language corpora. However, using a corpus requires use of a corpus tool as an interface, typically a concordancer. How such a tool can be made most accessible to learners is an important issue. Specifically,…

Huang, Xiaoxia – Interactive Learning Environments, 2017
Previous research has indicated the disconnect between example-based research focusing on worked examples (WEs) and that focusing on modeling examples. The purpose of this study was to examine and compare the effect of four different types of examples from the two separate lines of research, including standard WEs, erroneous WEs, expert (masterly)…

Construing and Testing Explanations in a Complex Domain.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Ramberg, Robert – Computers in Human Behavior, 1996
Discussion of explanations and knowledge representation within knowledge-based systems focuses on the development of an expert system for purification of proteins in a Swedish laboratory. Topics include domain conceptualization; a multiple-explanation construction model; a study of laboratory staff that investigated construed explanations; and…

The Use of a Simulated Statistics Laboratory in the Teaching of Multivariate Statistics.
Bajgier, Steve M.; Atkinson, MaryAnne – Collegiate Microcomputer, 1989
Describes the use of a simulated learning environment (SLE) as an instructional aid in teaching multivariate statistics, particularly inferential statistics. A prototype microcomputer-based SLE called MVWORLD developed at Drexel University for upper level statistics courses is explained, and implementing a statistics laboratory for multivariate…

Process Learning Time as an Adaptive Design Variable in Concept Learning Using Computer-Based Instruction.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Tennyson, Robert D.; Park, Seong Ik – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1984
For ninth graders studying three biological concepts via computer-based instruction, decreasing display time of interrogatory examples for incorrect answers and increasing display time for correct answers was the best procedure for two-stage concept learning. Information processing theory and instructional display time as an adaptive design…
