The Challenge of Feedback Personalization to Learning Styles in a Web-Based Learning System
2006
Feedback is information that is provided to a user to inform him/her about the result of his/her action and to motivate him/her to further interact with the system. In web-based learning systems (WBLS), feedback is particularly important in test and evaluation tasks. The main objective of the paper is twofold: (1) to encourage WBLS designers and specialists to pay more attention to the problem of feedback adaptation, and (2) to analyze suggestions for feedback personalization to learning styles in a WBLS.
Towards Personalization of Peer Review in Learning Programming
2017
Peer review is one of the effective processes for sharing knowledge and improving overall learning performance. This became more popular by the use of ICT. However, it is challenging to implement peer review in learning programming languages due to the complexity of the subject matter. A group of peer reviewers may have different overall performance but similar weaknesses on a given aspect of the programming tasks. Hence, they may not be able to help each other to address individual needs. In this paper, we present a personalized approach to peer review with consideration to criteria based assessment and individual performance on specific programming tasks. This is achieved using a novel pe…
Metadata-based Personalization in Data Warehouses
2015
Lielā datu noliktavās uzkrāto datu un atskaišu apjoma dēļ, atskaišu izpilde un pārlūkošana var būt nogurdinoša un laikietilpīga. Turklāt, lietotājs ir visai ierobežots savu vēlmju izteikšanā kvalitatīvāku rezultātu iegūšanai (arī komerciālos datu noliktavu atskaišu rīkos). Taču, ir jēga veikt eksperimentus personalizācijas iespēju jomā, kuru mērķis būtu lietotāja vajadzībām atbilstošu datu sniegšana, jo datu noliktavu personalizācijas pētījumi šobrīd ir attīstības stadijā. Pēc veiktā esošo datu noliktavu personalizācijas pieeju salīdzinājuma, pētījums tika attīstīts atskaišu rekomendāciju jomā, kurš balstās uz tiešā vai netiešā veidā iegūtiem lietotāja iestatījumiem par datu noliktavas shēm…
Percezione di efficacia dei docenti universitari e personalizzazione del processo di insegnamento-apprendimento con la DaD
2020
Per rispettare le misure di distanziamento imposte dal COVID 19, le Università hanno dovuto adottare la didattica a distanza (DaD). L’occasione è stata propizia per cercare di personalizzare il processo di insegnamento-apprendimento, vale a dire per centrare meglio la formazione erogata dalle università sulle esigenze dei singoli studenti. L’attuazione dei principi della didattica personalizzata ha richiesto un impegno non indifferente ai docenti che vi si sono cimentati. È stato ipotizzato che la percezione della propria capacità di personalizzare la formazione degli studenti con il supporto delle tecnologie dell’informazione e della comunicazione, influisse sull’efficacia didattica dei do…
A randomized controlled trial protocol for persistent physical symptoms associated with indoor environment or chronic fatigue : Effectiveness of vide…
2023
IntroductionPersistent physical symptoms (PPS) refer to symptoms that cannot be fully explained by structural bodily pathology or by environmental factors. Their impact on daily functioning varies from mild to severe disability. So far, evidence-based treatments for PPS have resulted in only small to moderate effects. Treatment protocols with a stronger orientation toward personalized approaches are needed to improve the efficacy and applicability of treatment. In this study, we aim to assess the effect of an online individual case conceptualization with web-based program for PPS. This study is conducted among two focus groups: patients with indoor air-related symptoms and patients with chr…
Exploring Training Options for RF Sensing Using CSI
2018
This work analyzes human behavior recognition approaches using WiFi channel state information from the perhaps less usual point of view of training and calibration needs. With the help of selected literature examples, as well as with more detailed experimental insights on our own Doppler spectrum-based approach for physical motion/presence/cardinality detection, we first classify the diverse forms of training so far employed into three main categories (trained, trained-once, and training-free). We further discuss under which conditions it is possible to move toward lighter forms of calibration or even succeed in devising fully untrained model-based solutions. Our take home messages are main…

Executive Politics in Spain
2020
The chapter offers an overview of the main features of executive politics in democratic Spain. Adopting a core executive approach, it focuses on the actors and the processes defining the interaction and the power relationship between the prime minister, the ministers, and the cabinet at the national level. The main argument discusses the ‘presidentialization’ thesis in Spain. Instead, it proposes a more complex dynamics based in the exchange of power resources among actors within the government. Although institutional and political factors – like party politics and the personalization of politics – have favoured the prime minister’s predominance, other factors help to counterbalance this tr…

User-Centered Virtual Reality for Promoting Relaxation: An Innovative Approach
2019
[EN] Virtual reality has been used effectively to promote relaxation and reduce stress. It is possible to find two main approaches to achieve such aims across the literature. The first one is focused on genetic environments filled with relaxing "narratives" to induce control over one's own body and physiological response, while the second one engages the user in virtual reality-mediated activities to empower his/her own abilities to regulate emotion. The scope of the present contribution is to extend the discourse on VR use to promote relaxation, by proposing a third approach. This would be based on VR with personalized content, based on user research to identify important life events. As a…
