The importance of multisensory interaction for learning has increased with improved understanding of children’s sensory development, and a flourishing interest in embodied cognition. The potential to foster new forms of multisensory interaction through ...

In primary school, children tend to have difficulties in discriminating angles of different degrees and categorizing them either as acute or obtuse, especially at the first stages of development (6-7 y.o.). In the context of a novel approach that ...

In this short review, we aim at providing an update about recent research on force-feedback devices in educational settings, with a particular focus on primary school teaching. This review describes haptic devices and education virtual environments ...

This paper discusses self-efficacy, curiosity, and reflectivity as cognitive and affective states that are critical to learning but are overlooked in the context of affect-aware technology for learning. This discussion sits within the opportunities ...

In this paper, we investigate detection of students’ behavioral engagement states (On-Task vs. Off-Task) in authentic classroom settings. We propose a multimodal detection approach, based on three unobtrusive modalities readily available in a 1:1 ...

Student engagement is the key to successful classroom learning. Measuring or analyzing the engagement of students is very important to improve learning as well as teaching. In this work, we analyze the engagement or attention level of the students from ...

We present a study of the effects of feedback technologies on the learning process of novice violin students. Twenty-one subjects participated in our experiment, divided into two groups: Beginners (participants with no prior violin playing experience, ...

This paper discusses a multimodal learning activity based on LEGO® bricks where elements from the domains of music and informatics are mixed. Such an experience addresses children in preschool age and students of the primary schools in order to convey ...

Recent results from psychophysics and developmental psychology show that children have a preferential sensory channel to learn specific concepts. In this work, we explore the possibility of developing and evaluating novel multisensory technologies for ...

Soft skill assessment is a vital aspect of a job interview process as these qualities are indicative of the candidates compatibility in the work environment, their negotiation skills, client interaction prowess and leadership flair among other factors. ...

Though musicians tend to agree on the importance of practicing expressivity in performance, not many tools and techniques are available for the task. A machine learning model is proposed for predicting bowing velocity during performances of violin ...

We train and evaluate two machine learning models for predicting fingering in violin performances using motion and EMG sensors integrated in the Myo device. Our aim is twofold: first, provide a fingering recognition model in the context of a ...

Multisensory learning is considered a relevant pedagogical framework for education since a very long time and several authors support the use of a multisensory and kinesthetic approach in children learning. Moreover, results from psychophysics and ...

The information technologies are integrated into education so that mass data is available reflecting each action of students in online environments. Numerous studies have exploited these data to do the learning analytics.In this paper, we aim at ...
