Teachers’ Perspective on Fostering Computational Thinking Through Educational Robotics

Francesco Mondada, Barbara Bruno, Laila Abdelsalam El-Hamamsy, Christian Giang, Morgane Solène Denise Chevalier

With the introduction of educational robotics (ER) and computational thinking (CT) in classrooms, there is a rising need for operational models that help ensure that CT skills are adequately developed. One such model is the Creative Computational Problem S ...

Early Prediction of Conceptual Understanding in Interactive Simulations

Jade Maï L Cock, Tanja Christina Käser Jacober, Christian Giang, Mirko Marras

Interactive simulations allow students to independently ex- plore scientific phenomena and ideally infer the underlying principles through their exploration. Effectively using such environments is challenging for many students and there- fore, adaptive gui ...

Motor improvement estimation and task adaptation for personalized robot-aided therapy: a feasibility study

Silvestro Micera, Jenifer Cléa Miehlbradt, Nawal Noëlle Kinany, Elvira Pirondini, Camilla Pierella, Martina Coscia, Christian Giang

Background In the past years, robotic systems have become increasingly popular in upper limb rehabilitation. Nevertheless, clinical studies have so far not been able to confirm superior efficacy of robotic therapy over conventional methods. The personaliza ...

A multimodal approach to capture post-stroke temporal dynamics of recovery

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Silvestro Micera, Jenifer Cléa Miehlbradt, Nawal Noëlle Kinany, Elvira Pirondini, Martina Coscia, Christian Giang, Camilla Pierella

Objective.Several training programs have been developed in the past to restore motor functions after stroke. Their efficacy strongly relies on the possibility to assess individual levels of impairment and recovery rate. However, commonly used clinical scal ...

Heuristics for the Development and Evaluation of Educational Robotics Systems

Francesco Mondada, Christian Giang, Alberto Piatti

Contribution: While previous research has studied the use of educational robotics in classrooms, there is still a lack of methods to support the development and evaluation of such tools. To this end, this paper presents an evaluation framework and a corres ...
