Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Yang, Yang; Leung, H.; Yue, Lihua; Deng, LiQun – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2012
In this paper, an automatic lesson generation system is presented which is suitable in a learning-by-mimicking scenario where the learning objects can be represented as multiattribute time series data. The dance is used as an example in this paper to illustrate the idea. Given a dance motion sequence as the input, the proposed lesson generation…

Interactive Stories and Exercises with Dynamic Feedback for Improving Reading Comprehension Skills in Deaf Children
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Mich, Ornella; Pianta, Emanuele; Mana, Nadia – Computers & Education, 2013
Deaf children have significant difficulties in comprehending written text. This is mainly due to the hearing loss that prevents them from being exposed to oral language when they were an infant. However, it is also due to the type of educational intervention they are faced with, which accustoms them to decoding single words and isolated sentences,…
