The 13th International Conference on Computers in Education (ICCE 2005) is being held from 28 November to 30 December 2005 in Singapore. It is the latest in a longstanding series of annual international conferences held in the Asia-Pacific region, ...

This paper presents an analytical model of an agent about the capabilities of a learner for CSCL environments in DLV based on the ASP (Answer Sets Programming) formalism. The complete model is formally presented in the declarative language of DLV, a ...

COLLECT-UML is an intelligent tutoring system that teaches Object-Oriented design using Unified Modelling Language (UML). UML is one of the most popular techniques used in the design and development of Object-Oriented systems nowadays. The Constraint-...

In 2002 RMIT UNIVERSITY (RMIT) were awarded a World Bank (WB) four year contract (2003 --2006) by the AFRICAN VIRTUAL UNIVERSITY (AVU) for

• Delivery of a COMPUTER SCIENCE (CS) diploma and degree to 8 AVU Learning Centres (LC) in Africa using an ...

This paper explores some potentials and issues of fostering learning communities through Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) technology in Singapore classrooms. The subjects were eight teachers who attended a professional development course ...

This study investigated within-group metacognition during group problem solving conducted within the context of a Knowledge Forum© CSCL learning environment. Three malfunctioning groups of students from a middle-grade primary school in an inner-city ...

This study examines teachers' cognitive development when interacting with video ethnography, a form of video cases. It used grounded theory to discover embedded meanings and relationships that emerge from descriptive data collected from six teachers. ...

It has already been proven that peer tutoring is an effective way to engage students in learning. However, without technology support, it can be difficult to conduct peer tutoring program in a classroom. We propose a system called P3T that supports peer ...

This paper reports the research findings from a national research program conducted in rural India. In this research, children were provided unconditional access to public, outdoor computer. Evaluation was conducted on the children's ability to learn to ...

Selection of an appropriate assessment method has become a crucial issue in computer programming courses as many feel the traditional paper-based examinations are not delivering the desired results for either students or educators. The poor performance ...

Amidst the millions of pages available on the Web, it contains an invaluable educational resources pool for planning episodes of learning approach for instructions and guided learning. The un-structured nature and the lack of suitably annotated ...

This paper reports on an online simulation designed to support pre-service teachers' practicum experiences in the important area of literacy teaching. The purpose of the simulation was to develop pre-service teacher understanding of complex classroom ...

The biggest barrier to innovation and change is not our resistance to learning something new, but rather unlearning what we think is the truth. Learning contexts should be diverse to evoke and capture student imagination. The pedagogy that underpins ...

In this research, a system was developed to enable underlining by learners to promote reading comprehension of e-learning instructional materials, and an attempt was made to further promote such underlining activity by evaluating and providing feedback ...

Interactive exercising is one of the major ingredients of technology-enhanced learning. It reaches its full potential only, when appropriate feedback is given to the learner. This paper describes a principled approach for representing and processing ...

The importance of cognitive skills in human learning and reasoning has grown progressively throughout the years. This motivates the search for a knowledge representation that supports the development of a computational algorithm that performs as well as ...

An evaluation too for collaborative learning has been developed. The tool is based on communication which occurs during the collaborative work. The tool consists of two sub-tools: a monitoring tool and a scoring tool. The monitoring tool can evaluate ...

Mobile devices are getting more and more popular. With the advanced wireless technology, students can assess Internet with their PDAs. This study aims to develop an adaptive e-learning system on PDA. The idea is to distribute learning materials to the ...

This paper reports on the experiment and its results which was conducted to examine what conceptual changes are caused by using Error-based Simulation (EBS) in learning mechanics. The EBS simulates the motion of mechanical systems based on students' ...

This paper discusses theory and research issues associated with the use of hypermedia technologies to support learning in problem-oriented pedagogical environments involving cases. After considering research issues with problem-oriented learning related ...

Information literacy is the ability to master the processes of becoming informed. An information literacy framework should focus on the capacity of students to build both cognitive and affective knowledge. This entails the formulation of standards and ...

A cognitive tool (CT) that helps learners to generate a knowledge of fraction equivalence, which comprises conceptual and procedural knowledge, has been built. The aim of this research is to study the effectiveness of the CT in generating a knowledge of ...

Information literacy should be framed in such a way that students are empowered with the capacity for lifelong learning and assume greater autonomy over --and gain social responsibilities from --their learning. We conducted focus group discussions and ...

In an economy in which knowledge becomes more and more important as the main resource of economical success, workers, teams and companies need to develop the necessary competencies to be able to participate in a work life that is mainly based on ...

Most educational software available to children is designed for a single user and this, coupled with a shortage of computers in schools, means that pairs or groups of children often share an inappropriate interface. Previous research has found that this ...

In mathematical learning, it is important to give learners problems that have various features in both surface problem situations and deep mathematical structures. In this study, we implement a system that can generate various problems by altering those ...

This paper describes how to develop a language education system oriented for a pedagogical approach called focus on form (FonF). FonF aims at improving skills to produce grammatically correct sentences. The approach has attracted much attention in the ...

The study investigates the development of virtual classroom in secondary schools in Hong Kong from in-service teacher perspectives and focuses on teachers' concerns towards the virtual classroom and their preferences on designing virtual classroom. ...

Using the constraint-based modeling approach, we have developed a diagnostic component, which is able to identify errors made by learners of a logic programming language when implementing a given task specification. It uses patterns to hypothesize the ...
