Do Individual Differences in Cognition and Personality Predict Retrieval Practice Activities on MOOCs?
2020
Online quizzes building upon the principles of retrieval practice can have beneficial effects on learning, especially long-term retention. However, it is unexplored how interindividual differences in relevant background characteristics relate to retrieval practice activities in e-learning. Thus, this study sought to probe for this research question on a massive open online course (MOOC) platform where students have the optional possibility to quiz themselves on the to-be-learned materials. Altogether 105 students were assessed with a cognitive task tapping on reasoning, and two self-assessed personality measures capturing need for cognition (NFC), and grittiness (GRIT-S). Between-group anal…
Adaptive techniques in e-Learning for transnational programs
2019
In this article we present a set of methods and models to help the inclusion of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in transnational programs. The material that we are presenting takes advantage of several adaptive models that automatically react to students' activity. These models are extremely useful in environments where a huge number of very different students (such as those found in transnational programs) are enrolled in the courses or where the distance is a problem for face-to-face activities. We present the theoretical background, the gamification and adaptive techniques included in the model and the platform where the courses are implemented.
Il digitale nell'educazione: ambienti, dispositivi, apprendimenti
2014
Nel volume si affronta la problematica dell’apporto delle tecnologie per l’apprendimento nell’azione educativa e didattica. I diversi contributi si orientano verso una prospettiva di lavoro che configura le tecnologie come struttura significativa per accogliere i bisogni educativi delle nuove generazioni, in ambienti a loro congeniali che si sviluppano rinnovando precedenti sistemi di conoscenza e di comunicazione. L’essenza della ricerca riguarda il come si modificano i modi di apprendere nei soggetti, dal momento in cui i media digitali occupano uno spazio rilevante nelle loro esperienze. Occorre costruire una progettualità educativa capace di mediare efficacemente tra pratiche sociali e …
Focus and models of evaluation of the e-learning
2003
The aim of this article is to present the state of arts about e-learning evaluation. Different evaluative approaches, different models, tools and experiencies are showed, in order to determine the quality of virtual learning. Two main approaches are showed: partial evaluation, with emphasis in some aspects of e-learning (materials, technology resources, teaching, etc.) and global evaluation, that uses management quality models and the practice of benchmarking.
L'autovalutazione on-line nella formazione universitaria
2006
Il contributo concentra la sua riflessione sull'autovalutazione con particolare riferimento alla personalizzazione dell'apprendimento e descrive la metodologia utilizzata per la costruzione delle prove di autovalutazione del Corso di Laurea in Scienze della Formazione Primaria, dell'Università di Palermo, che sono state utilizzate per i corsi online per le discipline di didattica generale e pedagogia sperimentale e infine vengono presentati alcuni item che si riferiscono in modo sistematico ed esplicito a funzioni intellettive e ad abilità metacognitive.
Virtual university–a vehicle for development, cooperation and internationalisation in teaching and learning
2005
The paper discusses the approaches of virtual university strategies and developments in Europe. The discussion is partly based on the work done in the Activity 5 in the EU Thematic Network E4 and partly to the experiences gained through the activities of EUNITE virtual university network of six European universities. Based on our experience we see, that e-learning and virtual university approach can be used for renewal of teaching and learning, both on and off campus. Just three years ago, universities seemed mainly to aim only to develop on campus teaching and learning through ICT. Lately, the use of e-learning as a tool for international cooperation and for virtual mobility (Virtual Erasm…
E‐learning at work: theoretical underpinnings and pedagogical challenges
2005
PurposeFirst, to explore the application of e‐learning as a medium for workplace learning, as a form of adult learning and organisational learning from a theoretical point of view, second, to review empirical studies on recent solutions to pedagogical problems encountered in workplace learning in general and in e‐learning in particular, and finally, to consider the challenges facing the further development of e‐learning solutions targeted at the workplace.Design/methodology/approachThe paper reviews theories of adult learning, workplace learning and organisational learning and brings out main pedagogical implications of these theories from an e‐learning point of view. Some empirical studies…
Online Mathematics With Interactive Concept Maps
2008
There has not been a free and easy-to-use utility to handle both authoring and presentation of large graphs online, especially with mathematical content. On one hand, concept map editors are ideal for authoring graphs, but publishing capabilities may be limited. On the other hand, numerous browsing and layout tools exist for publishing content generated elsewhere. We present a transformation tool Xcm2kg that tries to solve the problem by integrating authoring with IHMC CmapTools to publishing based on TouchGraph. GXL is used as an intermediate format to facilitate interoperability with other graph-based applications. The tool is demonstrated with concept maps drawn on an undergraduate mathe…

A Socratic E-Learning Approach
2015
Using questions to elaborate knowledge, is widely used in learning today. In this position paper we argue that there are new benefits to reap from using ICT in a learning process based on the Socratic method, and outline practical steps of an approach for collaborative e-learning using questions.
