Designing a mobile academic peer support system
Presentation / Conference
AlSugair, B., Hopkins, G., FitzGerald, E., & Brailsford, T. Designing a mobile academic peer support system. Paper presented at Proceedings of the 26th Annual BCS Interaction Specialist Group Conference on People and Computers

In this paper, we discuss work in progress into the design of a mobile academic peer support system that enables 11-to-14 year old children to request and provide academic help to each other. Our proposed system was designed based on background resea... Read More about Designing a mobile academic peer support system.

Capturing experience in the field trip: A comparison study of using mobile devices between geography and architecture students
Presentation / Conference
Allwihan, R., Brailsford, T., & Cobb, S. Capturing experience in the field trip: A comparison study of using mobile devices between geography and architecture students. Paper presented at INTED2013 Proceedings

The rapid development of mobile information technology opens the doors for a variety of ubiquitous services to grow. This paper is a part of research aims to investigate methods of capturing and sharing experience in the field trip by using mobile de...

Personally tailored teaching in WHURLE using conditional transclusion
Presentation / Conference
Moore, A., Brailsford, T. J., & Stewart, C. D. Personally tailored teaching in WHURLE using conditional transclusion. Paper presented at 12th ACM conference on Hypertext and Hypermedia (HT 01)

The emergence of Technology Based Learning has generated a number of pedagogic problems related to learner diversity.. In this paper we present an interim snapshot of a prototype XSLT / XML hypermedia learning environment able to respond adaptively t...

Autonavigation, links and narrative in an adaptive web-based integrated learning environment
Presentation / Conference
Brailsford, T. J., Stewart, C. D., Zakaria, M. R., & Moore, A. Autonavigation, links and narrative in an adaptive web-based integrated learning environment. Paper presented at Proc. of The 11th International World Wide Web Conference

The WWW is having increasingly profound effects upon education at all levels. When carefully implemented, web-based educational technologies can offer a cost-efficient means of maintaining teaching quality in the face of almost universally declining...

Pluggable user models for adaptive hypermedia in education
Presentation / Conference
Zakaria, M. R., Moore, A., Stewart, C. D., & Brailsford, T. J. Pluggable user models for adaptive hypermedia in education. Paper presented at Fourteenth ACM Conference on Hypertext and Hypermedia (HT 03)

Most adaptive hypermedia systems used in education implement a single user model – inevitably originally designed for a specific set of circumstances. In this paper we describe an architecture that makes use of XML pipelines to facilitate the impleme... Read More about Pluggable user models for adaptive hypermedia in education.

Practical applitudes: Case studies of applications of the ZigZag hypermedia system
Presentation / Conference
Moore, A., Goulding, J., Brailsford, T., & Ashman, H. Practical applitudes: Case studies of applications of the ZigZag hypermedia system. Paper presented at Proceedings of the fifteenth ACM conference on Hypertext and hypermedia

ZigZag is a paradigm of hypermedia that consists of a multidimensional system of principled interconnections. Its basic features and specifications are now well known, but despite this, very few practical applications have been described or discussed...

Authoring and delivering adaptive courseware
Presentation / Conference
Stewart, C., Cristea, A., Moore, A., Brailsford, T., & Ashman, H. Authoring and delivering adaptive courseware. Paper presented at International Workshop on Authoring of Adaptive and Adaptable Educational Hypermedia, AH2004, Workshop proceedings (part II), Eindhoven, Netherlands

Adaptive Educatiooal Hypermedia (AEH) may be the answer to the imperative need of personalization in web-based education. Up to now, however, adaptive hypermedia environments have focussed more on end- deliveIY, and less on the authoring problems. Th... Read More about Authoring and delivering adaptive courseware.

Adapting for visual and verbal learning styles in AEH
Presentation / Conference
Brown, E., Stewart, C., & Brailsford, T. Adapting for visual and verbal learning styles in AEH. Paper presented at Advanced Learning Technologies, 2006. Sixth International Conference on

This paper describes how visual and verbal learning styles have been successfully integrated into an adaptive educational environment. User trials of this system were carried out, to determine the effect of the adaptation, and although these user tri... Read More about Adapting for visual and verbal learning styles in AEH.
