NLP-based scripting for CALL activities
This article focuses on the development of Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools for Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL). After identifying the inherent limitations of NLP-free tools, we describe the general framework of Mirto, an NLP-based authoring platform under construction in our laboratory, and organized into four distinct layers: functions, scripts, activities and scenarios. Through several examples, we explain how Mirto's architecture allows to implement state-of-the-art NLP fun
3.5 Stage 4: Making a revision timetable There are no hard and fast rules about when you should start to revise. Some people say you should have a revision strategy set up from the start of a course, typically involving careful and systematic highlighting of study texts and the making of condensed notes on key course elements. Others would say that it is only in the later stages of a course that material comes together in a sufficiently meaningful way to make a revision strategy possible. The time you have available, and your own st
Role of Assistance in Computer-mediated Communication in Higher Education
This paper reports preliminary findings of a small scale study that address the role of
assistance in computer-mediated communication (CMC) in Higher Education. In
particular, this study investigates whether the type of assistance in such environments
is affected by the type of task used to initiate the CMC, and to see whether the
instructors and students offer more or less assistance according to task type. We
examine courses which use CMC in the adjunct mode i.e. students used CMC as an
option
On the Move
Looking at models and maps, students explore different pathways and consequences of pollutant transport via the weather and water cycles. In an associated literacy activity, students develop skills of observation, recording and reporting as they follow the weather forecast and produce their own weather report for the class.
Data Recording and Usage Interaction Analysis in Asynchronous Discussions: The D.I.A.S. System.
This paper describes the development and the implementation of a new
Asynchronous Discussion Forum Software, called DIAS. While evaluating several
corresponding software, we came to the conclusion that they seem to be inadequate
to support the use of this activity (asynchronous discussion) as a substantial part of
the learning process. Most actual forums, that incorporate interaction analysis
functions, support mainly administrators, or teachers, while offer only basic
awareness functions to the
Organisational patterns for e-learning centres
In this paper we explore the notion of using organisational patterns in educational design for the development of e-learning centres. We are using patterns to discuss some of the key aspects concerning the implementation of an e-learning centre within an institution, with an emphasis on the purposes and pedagogical principles that will help to successfully support such an initiative. The research approach which informed our pattern development work includes use of a qualitative survey of a set o
