Chatbots based on state-of-the-art large language models (LLMs) hold potential to act as beneficial educational tools. However, challenges to LLMs in education include concerns about not only the accuracy and interpretability of AI-generated text, but ...

MOOCs are currently facing a major problem, namely the decrease in the rate of certified at the end of a MOOC. The main cause of this problem is due to the difficulty of detecting user behaviors in the platform which does not help tutors in their follow-...

We present a simple robotic tutor designed to help raise handwriting competency in school-aged children. "LetterMoose" shows the steps in how a letter is formed by writing on regular piece of paper. The child is invited to imitate LetterMoose and to ...

Software learnability, a central aspect of usability, can be improved by including a tutorial. Existing research suggests that interactive, gamified tutorials are more effective than passive ones in increasing user engagement and learning. There is ...

A common pattern among undergraduate computer science curriculums is to teach an introductory subject in Python followed by a more advanced software engineering subject in Java. We are building an online tool that will help students who already know ...

An e-learning system is increasingly gaining popularity in the academic community because of several benefits of learning anywhere, anyplace and anytime. In the hands of well-trained educators, e-learning technologies can offer powerful new solutions ...

In this paper we investigate the non-verbal behaviour of a tutor and propose a model for ECAs (Embodied Conversational Agents) acting as virtual tutors. We have conducted an empirical study where we focused on the distribution of gaze, head and eyebrowns ...

Distance teaching becomes a tough task when its goal is to explain topics with high practical contents because it is necessary for the student to have the teacher's guidance in order to understand the steps and method to solve a particular problem. On ...

Nowadays the word "e-learning" is used and pronounced very often, and it seems that e-learning or the learning management systems are very modern and progressive method, how to increase or optimize quality of teaching and education at all of schools ...

These days is the word "e-learning" pronounced very often, and it seems that e-learning or the learning management systems are very modern and progressive method, how to increase or optimize quality of teaching at all of schools over the world. At the ...

Researchers have been developing online tutors for various disciplines, including Computer Science. Educators are increasingly using online tutors to supplement their courses. Are online tutors effective? Can they help students learn? If so, what ...

In order to facilitate problem-based learning in our Programming Languages course, we developed a tutor on static and dynamic scope. Static scope includes the scope of variables, the referencing environment of procedures and the scope of procedure names ...

Our proposal starts from the study of the epistemological statute of the didactics of the mathematics (Henry, 1991; D'Amore, 1999), which faces the phenomenon of learning fromthe point of view of fundaments, in order to give useful and specific ...

This article focuses on the experiences and role of a tutor while conducting a problem based learning (PBL) exercise to facilitate the learning of biochemistry and molecular biology. A case presentation of sickle cell anemia was used to frame a module. ...
