Automatic Assessment of 3D Modeling Exams
Publication Year: 2012, Page(s):2 - 10
Cited by: Papers (4)Computer-based assessment of exams provides teachers and students with two main benefits: fairness and effectiveness in the evaluation process. This paper proposes a fully automatic evaluation tool for the Graphic and Virtual Design (GVD) curriculum at the First School of Architecture of the Politecnico di Torino, Italy. In particular, the tool is designed for the 3D modeling course, taught during... View full abstract»

An Intelligent Simulator for Telerobotics Training
Publication Year: 2012, Page(s):11 - 19
Cited by: Papers (7)Roman Tutor is a tutoring system that uses sophisticated domain knowledge to monitor the progress of students and advise them while they are learning how to operate a space telerobotic system. It is intended to help train operators of the Space Station Remote Manipulator System (SSRMS) including astronauts, operators involved in ground-based control of SSRMS and technical support staff. Currently,... View full abstract»

Educational Technologies for Precollege Engineering Education
Publication Year: 2012, Page(s):20 - 37
Cited by: Papers (6)Numerous efforts seek to increase awareness, interest, and participation in scientific and technological fields at the precollege level. Studies have shown these students are at a critical age where exposure to engineering and other related fields such as science, mathematics, and technology greatly impact their career goals. A variety of advanced learning technologies have emerged to enhance lear... View full abstract»

Expressing Adaptation Strategies Using Adaptation Patterns
Publication Year: 2012, Page(s):38 - 51Today, there is a real challenge to enable personalized access to information. Several systems have been proposed to address this challenge including Adaptive Hypermedia Systems (AHSs). However, the specification of adaptation strategies remains a difficult task for creators of such systems. In this paper, we consider the problem of the definition of adaptation strategies at a high level. We prese... View full abstract»

Learning to Estimate Slide Comprehension in Classrooms with Support Vector Machines
Publication Year: 2012, Page(s):52 - 61
Cited by: Papers (3)Comprehension assessment is an essential tool in classroom learning. However, the judgment often relies on experience of an instructor who makes observation of students' behavior during the lessons. We argue that students should report their own comprehension explicitly in a classroom. With students' comprehension made available at the slide level, we apply a machine learning technique to classify... View full abstract»

Facilitating Trust in Privacy-Preserving E-Learning Environments
Publication Year: 2012, Page(s):62 - 73
Cited by: Papers (7)This research explores a new model for facilitating trust in online e-learning activities. We begin by protecting the privacy of learners through identity management (IM), where personal information can be protected through some degree of participant anonymity or pseudonymity. In order to expect learners to trust other pseudonymous participants, we realize that a reliable mechanism is needed for m... View full abstract»

The Conceptual Structure of IMS Learning Design Does Not Impede Its Use for Authoring
Publication Year: 2012, Page(s):74 - 86
Cited by: Papers (12)IMS Learning Design (LD) is the only available interoperability specification in the area of technology enhanced learning that allows the definition and orchestration of complex activity flows and resource environments in a multirole setting. IMS LD has been available since 2003, and yet it has not been widely adopted either by practitioners or by institutions. Much current IMS LD research seems t... View full abstract»

Using Haptic and Auditory Interaction Tools to Engage Students with Visual Impairments in Robot Programming Activities
Publication Year: 2012, Page(s):87 - 95
Cited by: Papers (7)The robotics field represents the integration of multiple facets of computer science and engineering. Robotics-based activities have been shown to encourage K-12 students to consider careers in computing and have even been adopted as part of core computer-science curriculum at a number of universities. Unfortunately, for students with visual impairments, there are still inadequate opportunities ma... View full abstract»
