Unlike the traditional paper-and-pencil tests, computer adaptive testing (CAT) presents the next item based on his or her past responses, which is more appropriate for a particular individual. However, it is rarely seen in a smaller-scale scenario, such as in classrooms or business, because of the complexity of Item Response Theory (IRT) and the possible usages of services may not be known or may...
In this paper, we focus on teacher's instrumentation. Previous works on this field mostly propose models and tools to teachers in order to follow the learner's activity. By using indicators, we intent to go further in this research area in order to assist teachers in their activities. Indeed, giving a feedback to teachers about their works thanks to indicators, will enable them to measure their effectiveness...
This article presents an interaction analysis tool and its usage for a collaborative learning situation that has been analysed manually before. We want to contrast and discuss the use of dedicated analysis tools compared to the current practice of evaluation using standard software or no computer tools at all.
Automatic item generation can derive items from certain computational structures (models). This generative approach introduces new features into computer-based assessment and has attracted many researches. However, to construct models for courses in higher education, it usually requires decent programming skills and leads to monolithic systems. To solve this problem, we propose the SARAC (sharable...
The era of communication technology has now a great impact in our daily lives. Learning approaches are now evolving from traditional slide-based lectures into much more dynamic ones, where technology plays a key role in order to improve the studentspsila academic performance and engagement. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to develop interactive classroom environments supported by mobile...
Social presence is considered as an essential element to promote social interaction. With the development of online synchronous learning, learners can conduct cyber face-to-face communication with other participants. When social cues are delivered by computer devices in real-time, it becomes a real possibility for students to experience actual learning atmosphere while still retaining the flexibility...
A crucial challenge for improving EMLs is to provide an intuitive notation to support educational practitioners to not only understand, but also describe a large number of flexible scenarios themselves. We present here the general outline of a graphical modeling language based on the concept of learning activity space (LAS) and its related editor so-called SCY-SE. The design stage of learning computer-supported...
This study proposed the multi-user G-Math peer-tutoring system for facilitating studentspsila tutoring strategies in math learning in the remedial instruction. The G-Math peer-tutoring system included the mathematics learning activity management system for teachers and the peer-tutoring system for students. The main objective of the investigation was to explore the effects of the G-Math for children...
Learning games are interesting environments presenting factual advantages. New usages emerge for learning and we need to consider them for the design of these games. Collaborative support, observation capacities and immersion are aspects that are directly linked with these learning environments. In this paper, we focus on the ldquoimmersionrdquo feature and we propose some guidelines in order to take...
There has been limited research on creating accessible Web based systems for individuals with cognitive and learning disabilities. The primary focus of web accessibility issues has been on systems for the visually impaired, as these impairments are well-understood. This paper describes current human-computer interaction research for cognitive and/or learning disabled individuals, and outlines several...
In order to generating test papers, as required in final or midsemester of any courses, test questions database management system needs effectively algorithm that will help it choose appropriate questions quickly according to the constraints proposed by the teachers. The traditional methods are not well suitable for the test papers that are restricted by multi-factors. In this paper we describe the...
Learners with hearing impairment has the largest population among all types of learners with special needs. With the development of computer and network technology, a lot of barrier-free Web sites were set up and provide convenient environment for hearing-impaired learners, thus, learners of this kind desire more and more network-learning. From the practice of cooperative-learning based on network...
In computer-assisted language learning (CALL), language testing is one of the major areas of use. This paper is intended to give a brief review of certain issues involving computer-based language testing (CBLT) in terms of (1) historical perspectives embodied in development from the computer-based test (CBT) to CBLT then to Internet-based test (IBT) or Web-based test (WBT), (2) the peculiar advantages...
It is generally accepted that there are some problems in the aspect of efficiency and fairness in the examination of traditional harmonics teaching method. With the respect to handle these problems, we utilized MIDI technology into chord analysis and developed harmonics aided instruction system - HAIS. In this paper, we first present a calculable chord model based upon MIDI protocol and an evaluation...
In order to evaluate the bilingual instructing process and help the university acquire timely feedback information from students, a Bilingual Teaching Evaluation System based on BP neural network is established. Based on the investigation and analysis of the bilingual instructing process in Nanchang University, an evaluation index system is built, which consists of 14 indices. Take the 14 evaluation...
Computer science, as 21st century skill, benefits all students, not just those interested in pursuing computer science. Computing education, as an integral part of the nation's education system, plays an important role in meeting the demands of an information-based society. Nevertheless, the need to integrate and use information technology has been stepped up increasingly, thus the distinctions have...
Verbal communication is a key not only for learning but also for every day life. Since one goal of schools for pupils with cognitive disabilities is to prepare pupils to manage their every day life on their own, we expect that teaching pupils how to learn and work collaboratively by sharing tasks, give directions to each other and understand them, will support this process. In this paper we will present...
The introduction of the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) has fostered a number of changes in the way courses are given in the university. In this paper we propose to present subjectpsilas syllabuses as learning activitiespsila agendas to students. Hence, they not only grasp course programs easier but are more aware of their own work, which is essential to learning evaluation within ECTS. Learning...
With the aim of facilitating teachers the use of good techniques in computer assisted assessment, this paper proposes the integration of rubric functionalities in an editor compliant with the IMS question and test interoperability specification (QTI). Teachers can organize the information of an e-questionnaire using the QTI-rubric approach. They can use (and reuse) QTI elements without having a technical...
In this paper, we propose a collaborative learning service in ubiquitous environment for social networking service (SNS). The main characteristic of the service is that the users use the service to search the person who can solve the problem, and an appropriate request chain of friends (CF) will be recommended, upon their request. It allows the members to interact and expand the network of friendship...
