EduCities is a network city for educational purpose. At the moment, there are more than 1 million EduCitizens registered in EduCities. 2,000 schools (more than half of schools in Taiwan) have built their EduTowns (smaller version of EduCities) and 18,...

Whilst electronic communication is providing a new medium, communities have always shared knowledge through interaction. This paper examines some communities of the past and gives examples of modern groups working and learning together. It is all too ...

In the talk we will describe how many of the classrooms using Knowledge Forum, developed by Scardamalia and Bereiter [10, 11], embody the characteristics of communities that are known for their creative innovations, such as Ionia in early Greece where ...

This papers explores the theme of the conference: "Learning communities on the Internet -Pedagogy in implementation". It discusses the changing nature of both interactive educationalcontent and the technology that can engage and connect learners to ...

The eighties saw the advent of the PC in education, the nineties saw the coming of narrow band internet to education, the first decade of the new millennium seems set to see the spread of broadband internet in education. What will it mean for education ...

Increased recognition of the importance of the social dimensions of learning has had a number of consequences for pedagogical theory and practice. Not least has been a blurring of the distinction between teachers and learners and, often associated with ...

This paper describes some of the features of Information Communication Technology (ICT)and its uses in the teaching-learning process in schools. A number of articles have addressedvarious issues concerning the many difficulties of how to integrate ICT ...

More recently appears the notion of intelligent systems, agents or tutoring systems in online education. These technologies have been adopted by many educational institutions to explore better interaction and dynamics changing on teaching-learning ...

The paper describes a teaching assistant facility being developed in Nippon Institute of Technology to activate question answering in computer programming practice using Web based teaching. The facility is implemented in the website to provide agent ...

The purpose of this study is to help users to get information precisely and quickly on the web. With the ontological computing support, an existing "cram-school" system provides users to search data by inputting the natural language instead of by form-...

We described a real-time 3D computer vision system called MIMIC (Motion Interface & Motion Information Capture system) that can capture and save motion of an actor. This system analyzes input images from vision sensors and searches feature information ...

The mobile agent is receiving the attention as new technique to retrieve and to share thedistributed contents on web-based educational systems . The retrieval using mobile agent uses the method that delivers the agent to accomplish a search in direct ...

A recommender system in an e-learning context is a software agent that tries to "intelligently" recommend actions to a learner based on the actions of previous learners. This recommendation could be an on-line activity such as doing an exercise, reading ...

This paper presents an approach for designing facilitators as interface agents in collaborativelearning and work environments. As some researchers already have commented, too little effort has been focused on researching human agent interaction, and how ...

Abstract: Northeastern University's Education Technology Advisory Committee (ETAC) consists of faculty who are specialists in bridging the gap between content development and instructional design. "Why does the note A' sound different on a flute ...

We propose a method to extract the face area from a trainee's picture using mosaic templates and recognize a trainee's eye direction using separability filters in touch-type training using a camera. The recognition of a trainee's eye direction enables ...

Knowledge space theory was already applied for building adaptive testing and training systems which contain test and training problems including their prerequisite structure, and which offer explanations and help for solving these problems. Normally, ...

The paper aims to use the literature on learning styles to establish a list of assumptions and guidelines and to identify a theoretical framework/model for designing and developing a web-based course. It describes the process of integrating learning ...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of embedded scaffolding strategy on knowledge acquisition in a Cognitive Flexibility Hypertext (CFH) environment. Two types of Cognitive Flexibility Hypertext, one with embedded scaffolding ...

The present article describes how scaffolding is implemented in an intelligent tutorial system call NTUs (Number Transcoding tUtorial System), and what are the results of the system tested empirically on a group of grade students in fostering their ...

This paper discusses a simulation CAI system based on the letter shape recognition method, one of the approaches to teach Kanji (Chinese character) in actual classrooms. The simulation CAI, which uses information technology to simulate a learning method ...

The study is an R&D research comprised of two phases study, the first phase aimed to investigate the problems of teaching educational computing courses and the second phase utilized the results of the study in the first phase to design and develop an ...

Performance-based learning requires that a computer system have deep, exact knowledge of what a person is doing and what they already know about that task to determine what they should learn now. Lifelong learning requires that a computer system have ...

This paper describes a computational method of complexity of a question for an adaptive question and answer function in an intelligent support system for English learning, and its evaluation. To realize adaptive question and answer, systems should ...

This paper presents an open user modeler called the mirror modeler that pretends to be the student and solves sample questions while the student watches mimicking student errors. This ability when added to an interactive teaching environment seems to ...

So far, various support methods for comprehension have been studied each of which has its own strong and weak points. We have developed a practical multi media leaming environment for e-learning by assorting these support methods, aiming that the ...
