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…
iTalk2Learn partners Claudia Mazziotti, Katharina Loibl, and Nikol Rummel (RUB) submitted a theoretical paper to the EARLI SIG 6 & 7 meeting. The paper discusses adaptive sequencing of structured practice and exploratory tasks to facilitate robust learning. This sequencing plays a major part of the intervention model of the iTalk2Learn project.
This week marks a week of meetings that are of significant importance for the project. We will start off with preparation, followed by the First Year Review on 11/12/2013. After the Review, it’s time to get back to business and progress further with the tasks in hand for the second year of the project, starting…
