Xinghua Wang; Hui Pang; Matthew P. Wallace; Qiyun Wang; Wenli Chen – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2024
This study investigated the application of an artificial intelligence (AI) coach for second language (L2) learning in a primary school involving 327 participants. In line with Community of Inquiry, learners were expected to perceive social, cognitive, and teaching presences when interacting with the AI coach, which was considered a humanized…

Francis, Larry; Weaver, Tamar – 1977
Certain features of the PLATO IV system allow the gathering of large quantities and varieties of information describing the interaction of students with computer based education courseware. Two kinds of information can be provided: (1) data concerning single student interaction, which must be analyzed manually; and (2) data summarizing activities…

Chandler, John S.; DeLutis, Thomas G. – 1976
An information system can be viewed as a symbiotic relation between the users of the system and the system's hardware, software, and data resources. Ideally, performance evaluation of these systems should be based on the achievement of user based criteria while concurrently minimizing resource costs. Current evaluation technologies concentrate on…

Gray, Wayne D.; Salzman, Marilyn C. – Human-Computer Interaction, 1998
The design of five experiments comparing usability evaluation methods (UEMs) is examined. Each has had an important influence on human-computer interaction (HCI); however, problems with experimental design raised questions as to the efficacy of various UEMs. To obtain desired outcomes of the experimental method addressing HCI issues, close…

Moura, Heloisa – Visible Language, 2006
Human interactions are multimodal in nature. From simple to complex forms of transferal of information, human beings draw on a multiplicity of communicative modes, such as intonation and gaze, to make sense of everyday experiences. Likewise, the learning process, either within traditional classrooms or Virtual Learning Environments, is shaped by…

Hawk, William B.; Wang, Peiling – Proceedings of the ASIS Annual Meeting, 1999
Examines users' cognitive, affective, and physical behaviors during user-Web interaction to understand better the nature of information retrieval on the Web, the needs of Web users, and the problem-solving strategies Web users employ. Describes and interprets searching behavior and problem-solving patterns within the relevant situational context…

Chapanis, Alphonse – 1978
The techniques, procedures, and principal findings of 15 different experiments in a research program on interactive communication are summarized in this paper. Among the principal findings reported are that: problems are solved faster in communication modes that have a voice channel than in those that do not have a voice channel, modes of…
