DIP: ‘Hard Fun’ Learning Mathematics: Stimulating Number Sense
PIs: Daphne Bavelier, Justin Halberda, Alan Gershenfeld, Michael Angst, Michael Levine University of Rochester Award Detail This project focuses on development of number sense in 7 to 11 year old students through a 3D action game that will train the brain. The project tests a hypothesis that playing a number-sense action game can help children […]
EXP: Collaborative Research: Gesture Enhancement of Virtual Agent Mathematics Tutors
PI: Dor Abrahamson, University of California-Berkeley (Award Details) Michael Neff, University of California-Davis (Award Details) In this Cyberlearning: Transforming Education EXP project, PIs from computer science and mathematics education are collaborating to investigate the use of gestures by teachers (both human and virtual) and learners in support of mathematics learning. They are investigating the ways […]
EXP: RUI: Exploring Spatial-Temporal Anchored Collaboration in Asynchronous Learning Experiences
PIs: Brian Dorn, Larissa Schroeder, Kevin Ball University of Nebraska at Omaha Award Details The researchers on this project are developing and studying a web-based multi-media platform that will allow special-temporal annotations intended for collaboration in post-secondary courses. The use of digital web-hosted media is becoming increasingly commonplace and important in postsecondary educational environments. Instructors […]
EXP: Collaborative Research: A cyber-ensemble of inversion, immersion, collaborative workspaces, query and media-making in mathematics classrooms
PI: Eric Hamilton, Pepperdine University (Award Details) Wayne Ward, Ronald Cole, Boulder Language Technologies (Award Details) In this Cyberlearning: Transforming Education EXP project, the PIs focus on designing classrooms as collaborative workspaces and learning how such learning environments can foster learning well. They are addressing these issues in high school mathematics classrooms. Learners view videos […]
EXP: Local Ground: A Contextually Grounded Approach for Learning Data Science Skills
PI: Tapan Parikh University of California-Berkeley Award Details In this Cyberlearning: Transforming Education Exploration project, researchers focus on the challenge of helping students in grades 4 through 6 develop data science skills — understanding the significance of data and where it comes from, and developing capabilities involved in manipulating data and using it to draw […]
DIP: Collaborative Research: Impact of Adaptive Interventions on Student Affect, Performance, and Learning
PIs: Ivon Arroyo, Worcester Polytechnic Institute (Award Details) A. Lynn Stephens, Beverly Woolf, Robert Maloy, U. Mass Amherst (Award Details) Winslow Burleson, Kasia Muldner, Arizona State University (Award Details) A major factor influencing learning is students’ emotions and their general affective state. Given the pivotal role that affect plays in learning activities it is not […]
EXP: “Earthquake Rebuild” – Mathematical Thinking and Learning via Architectural Design and Modeling
PIs: Fengfeng Ke, Matthew Ventura, Valerie Shute, Kathleen Clark, Gordon Erlebacher Florida State University Award Details In this Cyberlearning: Transforming Education Exploration project, the PIs investigate how to help middle schoolers simultaneously develop mathematics understanding, mathematics skill, and mathematics disposition. They are taking design-based pedagogical approach, having students practice the math they are learning through […]
EXP: Building a Learning Analytics System to Improve Student Learning and Promote Adaptive Teaching Across Multiple Domains
PIs: Marsha Lovett, Christopher Genovese Carnegie-Mellon University Award Details This PI team aims to use artificial intelligence to exploit data collected from intelligent tutoring systems to provide feedback both to students and to teachers effectively and at the right times. The team is using a new analytic approach, which introduces hierarchical modeling to learning analytics, […]
EXP: Collaborative Research: A System of Animation Gestures for Effective Teaching Avatars
PIs: Voicu Popescu, Nicoletta Adamo-Villani, Purdue University (Award Details) Susan Cook, University of Iowa (Award Details) Howard Friedman,University of California-Riverside (Award Details) This project addresses the challenge of making avatars used in tutoring systems and other learning technologies more engaging and more effective learning guides. One focus is on making the movements of an avatar […]
