Grivokostopoulou, Foteini; Hatzilygeroudis, Ioannis – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2013
In this paper, we present a way of teaching AI search algorithms in a web-based adaptive educational system. Teaching is based on interactive examples and exercises. Interactive examples, which use visualized animations to present AI search algorithms in a step-by-step way with explanations, are used to make learning more attractive. Practice…

Yeom, Soonja; Choi-Lundberg, Derek; Fluck, Andrew; Sale, Arthur – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2013
Visualizing the structure and relationships in three dimensions (3D) of organs is a challenge for students of anatomy. To provide an alternative way of learning anatomy engaging multiple senses, we are developing a force-feedback (haptic) interface for manipulation of 3D virtual organs, using design research methodology, with iterations of system…

Usability of a Virtual Learning Environment Concerning Safety at Work
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Ihamäki, Heli; Vilpola, Inka – Electronic Journal of e-Learning, 2004
Most of the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) design methods focus on producing content for a VLE. However, usability of the VLE is also of great importance. Several potential usability problems have been reported in recent e-learning conferences. These problems could have been avoided by applying usability engineering methods before the VLE was…
