Integration of learning style theory in an adaptive educational hypermedia (AEH) system (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Adaptive educational hypermedia (AEH - a branch of web-based learning) systems seek to personalise the learning experience for their users. User modelling can be performed using various criteria, such as prior ability or domain-specific knowledge, in...

User control of adaptation in an automated web-based learning environment (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Adaptive hypertext provides a powerful approach to the problems of providing information that is appropriate to the diverse needs of users, and it is most commonly implemented in education. In this paper we describe how an experimental XML- based ada... Read More about User control of adaptation in an automated web-based learning environment.

Technical note user modelling, and adaptive hypermedia frameworks for education (2002)
Journal Article

In this paper, we give an overview of the hybrid model, which is a generic user model that is based on measuring and classifying users' knowledge with respect to multiple knowledge domains simultaneously. In addition, we demonstrate how that model is... Read More about Technical note user modelling, and adaptive hypermedia frameworks for education.

Towards a framework to effective web-based distributed learning (2001)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Developing web-based learning materials gives rise to a number of pedagogic problems. Learners are highly diverse in respect to their pedagogical requirements, and the implementation of an effective web-based learning strategy must avoid placing a he...

Knowledge Tree: Putting discourse into computer-based learning (1997)
Journal Article

Most CBL materials currently in use model only the declarative aspects of the learning process. If such courseware is used without careful planning, this can be dangerous because one of the most fundamental aspects of education is the dialogue that o...

Authorware professional: Multi-platform icon authoring (1992)
Journal Article

This paper describes the use of a multi-platform icon authoring development environment to create flexible CBT material without the need for conventional programming skills.

Personally tailored teaching in WHURLE using conditional transclusion
Presentation / Conference Contribution

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...

User centred design and development of an educational force-feedback haptic game for blind students
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Integrating game technology into education and learning has had some significant impact on children’s learning and cognitive processes by helping to make learning an even more enjoyable experience. The use of technology in the education of blind chil... Read More about User centred design and development of an educational force-feedback haptic game for blind students.

Designing a mobile academic peer support system
Presentation / Conference Contribution

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.

AnswerPro: Designing to motivate interaction
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper describes the design and initial testing of AnswerPro, a mobile academic peer support system for UK Key Stage 3 and 4 pupils (11-16 year olds). AnswerPro is a web application that enables pupils to seek support from their knowledgeable pee... Read More about AnswerPro: Designing to motivate interaction.

Autonavigation, links and narrative in an adaptive web-based integrated learning environment
Presentation / Conference Contribution

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...

Does mobile technology support peer learning for Key Stage 3 children?
Presentation / Conference Contribution

It has been estimated that 85.5% ([14]) of school aged children own a mobile phone in the UK from which 29% ([10]) of them access the Internet. It is assumed that this ownership provides the children with the opportunity to establish and maintain soc... Read More about Does mobile technology support peer learning for Key Stage 3 children?.

Guideline for developing mobile technology to support note taking activity in field trip
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Field note is a combination between raw data and ideas that represents the process of transformation of observed interaction to written. This paper is a part of research aims to investigate methods to embed mobile technology in the field trips to sup...

Pluggable user models for adaptive hypermedia in education
Presentation / Conference Contribution

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.
