Predicting State Test Scores Better With Intelligent Tutoring Systems: Developing Metrics To Measure Assistance Required
Our approach is to use data that the system collected through a year to tracking student learning and thus estimate their performance on a high-stake state test (MCAS) at the end of the year.

One-To-One Technology-Enhanced Learning: An Opportunity For Global Research Collaboration
We see that ready-to-hand access creates the potential for a new phase in the evolution of technology-enhanced learning (TEL), characterized by “seamless learning spaces” and marked by continuity of the learning experience across different scenarios (or environments), and emerging from the availability of one device or more per student (“one-to-one”).

Theorizing The Transformed Classroom: A Sociocultural Interpretation Of The Effects Of Audience Response Systems In Higher Education
This paper explores the theoretical framework needed to explain observed effects of classrooms in which instructors use audience response systems. We propose a sociocultural reinterpretation of the networked classroom in which learning is described as a process of transforming participation in classroom activities.
