Moreno-Marcos, Pedro Manuel; Alario-Hoyos, Carlos; Munoz-Merino, Pedro J.; Estevez-Ayres, Iria; Kloos, Carlos Delgado – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2019
One of the characteristics of massive open online courses (MOOCs) is that the overall number of social interactions tend to be higher than in traditional courses, hindering the analysis of social learning. Learners typically ask or answer questions using the forum. This makes messages a rich source of information, which can be used to infer…

Camacho, Miguel Olmedo; Pérez-Sanagustín, Mar; Alario-Hoyos, Carlos; Soldani, Xavier; Kloos, Carlos Delgado; Sayago, Sergio – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2014
EtiquetAR is an authoring tool for supporting the design and enactment of situated learning experiences based on QR tags. Practitioners use etiquetAR for creating, managing and personalizing collections of QR codes with special properties: (1) codes can have more than one link pointing at different multimedia resources, (2) codes can be updated…

de-la-Fuente-Valentin, Luis; Pardo, Abelardo; Kloos, Carlos Delgado – Computers & Education, 2013
The acquisition of programming skills specially in introductory programming courses poses an important challenge for freshmen students of engineering programs. These courses require students to devote a sustained effort during the whole course and a failure to do so may contribute to not passing the course. However, it is difficult for the…

Generic Service Integration in Adaptive Learning Experiences Using IMS Learning Design
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
de-la-Fuente-Valentin, Luis; Pardo, Abelardo; Kloos, Carlos Delgado – Computers & Education, 2011
IMS Learning Design is a specification to capture the orchestration taking place in a learning scenario. This paper presents an extension called Generic Service Integration. This paradigm allows a bidirectional communication between the course engine in charge of the orchestration and conventional Web 2.0 tools. This communication allows the…

Munoz-Organero, Mario; Ramirez, Gustavo A.; Merino, Pedro Munoz; Kloos, Carlos Delgado – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2010
The use of swarm intelligence techniques in e-learning scenarios provides a way to combine simple interactions of individual students to solve a more complex problem. After getting some data from the interactions of the first students with a central system, the use of these techniques converges to a solution that the rest of the students can…

del Cid, Jose Pablo Escobedo; de la Fuente Valentin, Luis; Gutierrez, Sergio; Pardo, Abelardo; Kloos, Carlos Delgado – Journal of Interactive Media in Education, 2007
The IMS Learning Design specification aims at capturing the complete learning flow of courses, without being restricted to a particular pedagogical model. Such flow description for a course, called a Unit of Learning, must be able to be reproduced in different systems using a so called run-time environment. In the last few years there has been…
