27/1/13 The Institute of Education (IOE) has been working with schools to complete trials for the iTalk2Learn project. One of the schools that IOE is working with is St Peter’s School. IOE’s current work at the school is focussed upon piloting the Wizard-Of-Oz functionalities and getting feedback from the students about the platform overall. In…
The iTalk2Learn project is benefiting from the expertise that Ruhr University Bochum (RUB) has in educational psychology and experimental research methods. RUB is responsible for developing a theoretical intervention model, as well as planning and organising formative and summative evaluation of the iTalk2Learn project. In this blog post, you will find out more about RUB’s…
We are investigating how speech can be used in the learning platform to provide adaptive intelligent support within structured and exploratory activities. In particular, we are currently looking into how such support is able to respond to students’ emotions, deduced from speech. Emotions play a significant role in students’ learning behaviour – positive emotions can enhance learning, while negative emotions…
A new website… the perfect time to fill you in on the old AND the new! We’re excited to be launching a brand new website (along with this brand new blog!), so that you can easily stay in the know about iTalk2Learn. Take a look around and let us know what you think – we value your feedback!…
Carlotta Schatten and Lars Schmidt-Thieme’s (UHi) paper, ‘Adaptive Content Sequencing without Domain Information’, has been submitted and accepted. The paper shows that a performance prediction method can be used to sequence contents without domain engineering/authoring effort, ameliorating sequencing over common domain informed strategies. Moreover, if a synthetic learning process can be modelled in a plausible…
