There is a significant dearth of time and qualified teachers to make 200 million adult illiterates of India spread across 22 Indian Languages literate and it would take massive effort to address the scale and variety challenges. In this paper, we summarize four and half years of our experience of analyzing and improving a decade-long technology to adult literacy problem. Based on this experience and...
The problems faced by humanity cannot be solved with old technologies. Most scalable solutions need advanced and emerging technologies that are creatively blended with the existing and rapidly evolving infrastructure. One such problem that is being addressed is the illiteracy that is prevalent in several parts of the world. There are an estimated 200 million adults in India who are not literate. At...
Nowadays multimedia teaching devices and facilities are being widely used in the new round of English teaching reform. Under this circumstance, English teachers must learn more about the new teaching context, change their teaching mode, make full use of multimedia textbooks, and try to improve students' overall English abilities. Based on learning theories this article discusses how to integrate Multimedia...
It is the most concerning problem of information society how quality of learning is promoted. The studying of germane cognitive load is beneficial in promoting quality of learning. To promote the learning quality of complicate cognitive task, the article discusses the defining, constraints, measuring and increasing methods of germane cognitive load in detail.
The basic idea of cooperative learning focuses on team reward, equal opportunities for success, cooperation within team and competition among teams, and emphasizes share of sense of achievement through joint efforts so as to realize specific learning objectives. The main strategies of engineering mathematics teaching based on cooperative learning are to establish favorable team and design reasonable...
Semantic Web technologies seem to be a promising technological foundation for the next generation of e-learning systems. Although ontologies have a set of basic implicit reasoning mechanisms derived from the description logic which they are typically based on (such as classification, relations, instance checking, etc.), they need rules to make further inferences and to express relations that cannot...
The form-noticing language learners show in the language output and feedback is the key to improving the quality of output. While form-noticing has been increasingly researched by many language teachers, effects of proficiency and sex and its impact on subsequent learning in the context of EFL writing have not been fully investigated through data mining. This study examined EFL students' English vocabulary...
This study investigates the causes of poor academic performance among university students. Records indicate that some subjects have failure trends over the years while others do not. The survey on 295 students indicates the existence of knowledge gap between lecturers and students in various cognitive skills during the teaching and learning process resulting to non-conformance to quality standards...
This paper analyses the metacognitive awareness as well as reading strategies employed by diploma and pre-degree students at Universiti Teknologi MARA Kedah and how these strategies could help them to become strategic or skilled readers. Metacognitive awareness is a non-linear process and it plays a crucial role in allowing us to tap into the students' mental processes when reading academic-related...
Concerning the influencing factors on judgments of learning (JOLs), this study focused on Koriat's cue utilization framework and the challenge from other research. Four experiments were conducted to examine the effects of the intrinsic (relatedness) and extrinsic cues (presentation order and presentation time) on JOLs. In the four experiments, 257 participants were required to predict the likelihood...
A modeling approach for learning processes is utilized to process, evaluate and refine them. A formerly-developed concept called storyboarding has been applied at Tokyo Denki University (TDU) to model the various curricula for students to progress in their studies. Along with this particular storyboard, we developed a data mining technology to estimate chances for success for the students following...
The study investigates the effects of developing students' argumentation skills in traditional classroom learning context and on-line learning environment in two classes comprising 21- to 23-year-old university students in China. The results tentatively indicate that the short term study intervention helped students to promote their argumentation skills in both learning environments. But different...
Learning emotion frequently generates variation in learning processes due to the affection of different learning materials or scenes. Many education scholars have pointed out that emotions are directly related to and affect learning performance. Few studies investigated the relationship between the learning emotion with learning materials owing to the difficulty of on-line assessing learning emotion...
This paper discusses the adoption of bottom- up social software tools in formal learning environments. This is believed to enhance the learning experience of today's young generation characterized by being technology savvy and keen on social networking. As a first step towards this objective, the 3A interaction model that aims at aiding the design of personal and collaborative learning platforms is...
To finish the system configuration quickly, the paper proposes an extended case-based reasoning for product configuration design. With matter-elements, reasoning model of extended case-based reasoning (ECBR), the similar degree between different parts can be calculated seriously. During the configuration design, the solution space of configuration schemes is obtained by the similarity calculation,...
For improving systematization degree and efficiency of security diagnosing for construction producing, the flow of security diagnosing for construction producing system by CBR is designed. By analyzing the security influence factors for construction production systemically, the case presentation technology for security diagnosing for construction producing is designed, and the case retrieval, case...
Bloom's taxonomy plays a role in defining the learning objectives. Some teachers also use it to design the test sheet for matching Bloom's taxonomy and analysis the result after exam. We designed an online test system supporting Bloom's taxonomy automatic analysis system. In the pilot experiment, fourteen keywords for Bloom's taxonomy and 288 test items are applied. We found "knowledge"...
The use of multimedia technologies in education has enabled teachers to simulate final outcomes and assist students in applying knowledge learned from textbooks, thereby compensating for the deficiency of traditional teaching methods. Thus, it is important to examine how effective these technologies are in practical use. The current study developed online learning-teaching resource platforms using...
Learning is ubiquitous. Based on the recognition of ubiquitous learning environment (ULE), this paper discusses several factors that should be considered in ubiquitous learning environments design, including interaction design, learning process design, context-awareness support, social context involvement, fostering learning communities and instructional interventions.
Based on the theory of educational psychology about knowledge in our mind how to be formatted and developed, the author maintains that the psychological regularities should be complied with during people learning new knowledge by means of concept map which is the instrument of primary cognition. That is, appropriate mode of WebCL should be selected in different learning environments and conditions...
