da Silva, Welinton Baxto; Amaro, Rosana; Mattar, João – International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2019
Correspondence courses have been offered in Brazil since the late 19th century; in the 20th century, instructional media such as radio and television were successfully used long before the introduction of the Internet. However, distance education (DE) was officially established in Brazil only in 1996 by the National Educational Law of Policies and…

Damacharla, Praveen; Dhakal, Parashar; Stumbo, Sebastian; Javaid, Ahmad Y.; Ganapathy, Subhashini; Malek, David A.; Hodge, Douglas C.; Devabhaktuni, Vijay – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2019
As part of a perennial project, our team is actively engaged in developing new synthetic assistant (SA) technologies to assist in training combat medics and medical first responders. It is critical that medical first responders are well trained to deal with emergencies more effectively. This would require real-time monitoring and feedback for each…

Chen, Guanliang; Ferreira, Rafael; Lang, David; Gasevic, Dragan – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2019
For the development of successful human-agent dialogue-based tutoring systems, it is essential to understand what makes a human-human tutorial dialogue successful. While there has been much research on dialogue-based intelligent tutoring systems, there have been comparatively fewer studies on analyzing large-scale datasets of human-human online…

Melissa L. Newell – ProQuest LLC, 2019
Quantitative learning centers (QLCs) have emerged on undergraduate around the globe in an attempt to provide necessary support to students enrolled in undergraduate courses that address quantitative literacy. QLCs often provide support through peer tutoring to students in mathematics or related courses. Since QLCs are prevalent on undergraduate…

Background: The Office of Naval Research (ONR) organized a STEM Challenge initiative to explore how intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs) can be developed in a reasonable amount of time to help students learn STEM topics. This competitive initiative sponsored four teams that separately developed systems that covered topics in mathematics,…

Scandura, Joseph M. – Technology, Instruction, Cognition and Learning, 2018
This paper summarizes key stages in development of the Structural Learning Theory (SLT) and explains how and why it is now possible to model human tutors in a highly efficient manner. The paper focuses on evolution of the SLT, a deterministic theory of teaching and learning, on which AuthorIT authoring and TutorIT delivery systems have been built.…

He, Qingshun – English Language Teaching, 2018
The research of Systemic Functional Linguistics has been quite in-depth in both theory and practice. However, many linguists hold that Systemic Functional Linguistics has no hypothesis testing or experiments and its research is only qualitative. Analyses of the corpus, intelligent computing and language evolution on the ideological background of…

Liu, Junyan – ECNU Review of Education, 2018
The present paper focuses on the regulations on private supplementary tutoring, which in China is widely called "Xiaowai Peixun." Although much previous international literature has mostly focused on tutoring in academic subjects, tutoring in non-academic ones such as piano and painting has become popular in China and is also seen as…

Ma, Xueying; Ye, Lu – International Journal of Mobile and Blended Learning, 2018
This article describes how e-learning recommender systems nowadays have applied different kinds of techniques to recommend personalized learning content for users based on their preference, goals, interests and background information. However, the cold-start problem which exists in traditional recommendation algorithms are still left over in…

Nguyen, Huy; Liew, Chun Wai – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2018
Recent works on Intelligent Tutoring Systems have focused on more complicated knowledge domains, which pose challenges in automated assessment of student performance. In particular, while the system can log every user action and keep track of the student's solution state, it is unable to determine the hidden intermediate steps leading to such…

Albacete, Patricia; Jordan, Pamela; Lusetich, Dennis; Katz, Sandra; Chounta, Irene-Angelica; McLaren, Bruce M. – Grantee Submission, 2018
This paper discusses how a dialogue-based tutoring system makes decisions to proactively scaffold students during conceptual discussions about physics. The tutor uses a student model to predict the likelihood that the student will answer the next question in a dialogue script correctly. Based on these predictions, the tutor will, step by step,…

Marilena Panaite; Mihai Dascalu; Amy Johnson; Renu Balyan; Jianmin Dai; Danielle S. McNamara; Stefan Trausan-Matu – Grantee Submission, 2018
Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs) are aimed at promoting acquisition of knowledge and skills by providing relevant and appropriate feedback during students' practice activities. ITSs for literacy instruction commonly assess typed responses using Natural Language Processing (NLP) algorithms. One step in this direction often requires building a…

Hamouda, Sally; Edwards, Stephen H.; Elmongui, Hicham G.; Ernst, Jeremy V.; Shaffer, Clifford A. – Computer Science Education, 2020
Background and Context: Recursion in binary trees has proven to be a hard topic. There was not much research on enhancing student understanding of this topic. Objective: We present a tutorial to enhance learning through practice of recursive operations in binary trees, as it is typically taught post-CS2. Method: We identified the misconceptions…

Gu, Jerry; Andreopoulos, Stavroula; Jenkinson, Jodie; Ng, Derek P. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2020
Enzyme kinetics is the study of enzymatic catalytic rates in biochemical reactions. This topic is commonly taught to life science students in introductory biochemistry courses during their undergraduate education. Unlike most other biochemistry topics, which focus on visual structures of biomolecules and their processes, enzyme kinetics is…
