Unobtrusively Regulating Children’s Posture via Slow Visual Stimuli on Tablets
Pierre Dillenbourg, Daniel Carnieto Tozadore, Chenyang Wang, Barbara Bruno
Children’s retention of a proper body posture while interacting with educational tablet applications is important for both their physical health and task performance. In this work, we propose a new approach to unobtrusively induce postural changes in child ...
Association for Computing Machinery2023OSSCAR, an open platform for collaborative development of computational tools for education in science
Giovanni Pizzi, Sara Bonella, Dou Du
In this paper we present the Open Software Services for Classrooms and Research (OSSCAR) platform. OSSCAR provides an open collaborative environment to develop and access educational resources in the form of web applications, for which various deployment m ...
ELSEVIER2023Reinforcement learning approach to control an inverted pendulum: A general framework for educational purposes
Machine learning is often cited as a new paradigm in control theory, but is also often viewed as empirical and less intuitive for students than classical model-based methods. This is particularly the case for reinforcement learning, an approach that does n ...
PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE2023Human-Robot Swarm Interaction: An Explorative Path to Foster Complex Systems Understanding
Order, regularities, and patterns are ubiquitous around us. A flock of birds maneuvering in the sky, the self-organization of social insects, a global pandemic or a traffic jam are examples of complex systems where the macroscopic patterns arise from the m ...
EPFL2023Prompting Large Language Models to Power Educational Chatbots
Denis Gillet, Juan Carlos Farah, Sandy Ingram, Fanny Kim-Lan Lasne
The recent rise in both popularity and performance of large language models has garnered considerable interest regarding their applicability to education. Technologies like ChatGPT, which can engage in human-like dialog, have already disrupted educational ...
Springer2023Theorizing the Emotional Quality of Teaching and Learning Relationships in STEM Faculty Development
Roland John Tormey, Siara Ruth Isaac, Ingrid Le Duc
The emotional quality of learning relationships can affect student attainment and engagement and should, therefore, be a focus for STEM faculty development activities. This chapter introduces the range of ways in which educational relationships in STEM cla ...
Information Age Publishing2022The role of feedback and guidance as intervention methods to foster computational thinking in educational robotics learning activities for primary school
Francesco Mondada, Jean-Philippe Pellet, Laila Abdelsalam El-Hamamsy, Christian Giang, Vaios Papaspyros, Evgeniia Bonnet, Bernard Baumberger
Computational thinking (CT) is considered an emerging competence domain linked to 21st-century competences, and educational robotics (ER) is increasingly recognised as a tool to develop CT competences. This is why researchers recommend developing intervent ...
2022Impersonating Chatbots in a Code Review Exercise to Teach Software Engineering Best Practices
Denis Gillet, Maria Jesus Rodriguez Triana, Juan Carlos Farah, Sandy Ingram, Vandit Sharma
Over the past decade, the use of chatbots for educational purposes has gained considerable traction. A similar trend has been observed in social coding platforms, where automated agents support software developers with tasks such as performing code reviews ...
