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…

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…

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…

Reducing Human Fatigue in Interactive Evolutionary Computation through Fuzzy Systems and Machine Learning Systems
We describe two approaches to reducing human fatigue in Interactive Evolutionary Computation (IEC). A predictor function is used to estimate the human user’s score, thus reducing the amount of effort…
