Full textAbstract:
The use of the flipped classroom as an alternative to the traditional learning environments has been increasingly attracting the attention of researchers and educators. The advancement in technological tools such as interactive videos, interactive in-class activities, and video conference systems paves the way for the widespread use of flipped classrooms. It is even asserted that the flipped classroom, which is used to create effective teaching environments at schools, is the best model for using technology in education. Studies about the flipped classroom appear in different disciplines including information systems, engineering, sociology, and humanities, mathematics education, and English composition. The purpose of this paper is to fulfil the needs regarding the review of recent literature on the use of the flipped classroom approach in education.

Full textAbstract:
Building general purpose autonomous robots that suit a wide range of user-specified applications, requires a leap from today's task-specific machines to more flexible and general ones. To achieve this goal, one should move from traditional preprogrammed robots to learning robots that easily can acquire new skills. Learning from Demonstration (LfD) and Imitation Learning (IL), in which the robot learns by observing a human or robot tutor, are among the most popular learning techniques. Showing the robot how to perform a task is often more natural and intuitive than figuring out how to modify a complex control program. However, teaching robots new skills such that they can reproduce the acquired skills under any circumstances, on the right time and in an appropriate way, require good understanding of all challenges in the field. Studies of imitation learning in humans and animals show that several cognitive abilities are engaged to learn new skills correctly. The most remarkable ones are the ability to direct attention to important aspects of demonstrations, and adapting observed actions to the agents own body. Moreover, a clear understanding of the demonstrator's intentions and an ability to generalize to new situations are essential. Once learning is accomplished, various stimuli may trigger the cognitive system to execute new skills that have become part of the robot's repertoire. The goal of this thesis is to develop methods for learning from demonstration that mainly focus on understanding the tutor's intentions, and recognizing which elements of a demonstration need the robot's attention. An architecture containing required cognitive functions for learning and reproduction of high-level aspects of demonstrations is proposed. Several learning methods for directing the robot's attention and identifying relevant information are introduced. The architecture integrates motor actions with concepts, objects and environmental states to ensure correct reproduction of skills. Another major contribution of this thesis is methods to resolve ambiguities in demonstrations where the tutor's intentions are not clearly expressed and several demonstrations are required to infer intentions correctly. The provided solution is inspired by human memory models and priming mechanisms that give the robot clues that increase the probability of inferring intentions correctly. In addition to robot learning, the developed techniques are applied to a shared control system based on visual servoing guided behaviors and priming mechanisms. The architecture and learning methods are applied and evaluated in several real world scenarios that require clear understanding of intentions in the demonstrations. Finally, the developed learning methods are compared, and conditions where each of them has better applicability are discussed.Att bygga autonoma robotar som passar ett stort antal olika användardefinierade applikationer kräver ett språng från dagens specialiserade maskiner till mer flexibla lösningar. För att nå detta mål, bör man övergå från traditionella förprogrammerade robotar till robotar som själva kan lära sig nya färdigheter. Learning from Demonstration (LfD) och Imitation Learning (IL), där roboten lär sig genom att observera en människa eller en annan robot, är bland de mest populära inlärningsteknikerna. Att visa roboten hur den ska utföra en uppgift är ofta mer naturligt och intuitivt än att modifiera ett komplicerat styrprogram. Men att lära robotar nya färdigheter så att de kan reproducera dem under nya yttre förhållanden, på rätt tid och på ett lämpligt sätt, kräver god förståelse för alla utmaningar inom området. Studier av LfD och IL hos människor och djur visar att flera kognitiva förmågor är inblandade för att lära sig nya färdigheter på rätt sätt. De mest anmärkningsvärda är förmågan att rikta uppmärksamheten på de relevanta aspekterna i en demonstration, och förmågan att anpassa observerade rörelser till robotens egen kropp. Dessutom är det viktigt att ha en klar förståelse av lärarens avsikter, och att ha förmågan att kunna generalisera dem till nya situationer. När en inlärningsfas är slutförd kan stimuli trigga det kognitiva systemet att utföra de nya färdigheter som blivit en del av robotens repertoar. Målet med denna avhandling är att utveckla metoder för LfD som huvudsakligen fokuserar på att förstå lärarens intentioner, och vilka delar av en demonstration som ska ha robotens uppmärksamhet. Den föreslagna arkitekturen innehåller de kognitiva funktioner som behövs för lärande och återgivning av högnivåaspekter av demonstrationer. Flera inlärningsmetoder för att rikta robotens uppmärksamhet och identifiera relevant information föreslås. Arkitekturen integrerar motorkommandon med begrepp, föremål och omgivningens tillstånd för att säkerställa korrekt återgivning av beteenden. Ett annat huvudresultat i denna avhandling rör metoder för att lösa tvetydigheter i demonstrationer, där lärarens intentioner inte är klart uttryckta och flera demonstrationer är nödvändiga för att kunna förutsäga intentioner på ett korrekt sätt. De utvecklade lösningarna är inspirerade av modeller av människors minne, och en primingmekanism används för att ge roboten ledtrådar som kan öka sannolikheten för att intentioner förutsägs på ett korrekt sätt. De utvecklade teknikerna har, i tillägg till robotinlärning, använts i ett halvautomatiskt system (shared control) baserat på visuellt guidade beteenden och primingmekanismer. Arkitekturen och inlärningsteknikerna tillämpas och utvärderas i flera verkliga scenarion som kräver en tydlig förståelse av mänskliga intentioner i demonstrationerna. Slutligen jämförs de utvecklade inlärningsmetoderna, och deras applicerbarhet under olika förhållanden diskuteras.

Due to increased demand for interactive learning opportunities for engineering students, an interactive spectral analysis learning module was developed for the course Biomedical Signal and Image Processing (HST582J/6.555J/16.456J). The design of this module is based on the Star Legacy model, a pedagogical framework that promotes the creation of guided learning environments that use applications as the context for focused learning activities. The module is implemented using a combination of traditional teaching methods and web-based components. The web-based components include tutorial questions, text summaries, tables, figures, a glossary, and an interactive demonstration. This module was used in HST582J/6.555J/16.456J during Spring Term 2001. A variety of assessment techniques were employed. Survey results show that students generally found the module useful. Student performance on lab reports showed improved understanding of key concepts relative to previous years. Future efforts should reanalyze other performance data and make suggested modifications to the overall module, the web-based tutorial, and the interactive demo.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to investigate language learning through the use of interactive games. A research synthesis was considered to be the most effective method as it was our intention to explore the research available on language learning and gaming. Although various studies have investigated the employment of interactive games in language learning, this field of research is still in its infancy. We juxtaposed neural correlates of language learning with that of interactive gaming and the findings indicated that there are both similarities and differences in the brain structures activated by gaming and those that are activated by language learning. Furthermore, we set out to investigate the employment of interactive games in the language classroom. Our findings indicated that interactive games are highly underused tools in language learning. In addition, we were able to identify techniques which could be used to employ interactive games in language learning. The technological advancement in our society which has shown to have a great impact on the youth of today has given rise to an increasing need for incorporating technology such as interactive games in education and for this reason it is necessary for teachers to receive education in implementing interactive games in the language classroom.

Herrington, Janice A. "Authentic learning in interactive multimedia environments." Thesis, Edith Cowan University, Research Online, Perth, Western Australia, 1997. https://ro.ecu.edu.au/theses/1478.
Full textAbstract:
The instructional technology community is in the midst of a philosophical shift from a behaviourist to a constructivist framework, a move that may begin to address the growing rift between formal school learning and real-life learning. One theory of learning which has the capacity to promote authentic learning is that of situated learning. The purpose of the study was to investigate the way students learn from an interactive multimedia package and learning environment based on a situated learning model. To do this, it was necessary to identify the critical characteristics of a situated learning model based on the extensive literature on the subject. An interactive multimedia learning environment for university level students was then designed according to these characteristics of a situated learning model. The learning environment comprised an interactive multimedia program on assessment in mathematics, together with recommended implementation conditions in the classroom. Specifically, the research sought to investigate the way preservice teachers used interactive multimedia based on a situated learning model, how they responded to the critical elements of the situated learning environment, what types of higher-order thinking they used as they worked with the program, and whether learning transferred to their professional teaching practice in schools. The research took the form of an interpretive, qualitative study. The major methods of data collection were videotaping of preservice teachers using the interactive multimedia program, observation, and interviews with both the preservice teachers and their supervising teachers in schools. Data was analysed using techniques of qualitative analysis recommended by Eisner (1991) and Miles and Huberman (1994). Findings suggest that the use of the situated learning model was a successful alternative to the system models frequently used for the development of interactive multimedia, and one that enabled students to freely navigate a complex resource. When implemented with all the characteristics defined in the model, it appeared to provide an effective framework for the design of an environment for the acquisition of advanced know ledge. Students used a substantial amount of higher-order thinking, relatively little social and lower order talk, and a moderate amount of procedural talk as they worked with the assessment program. While on their professional practice in schools, the students used a variety of assessment techniques to assess children's learning, and they were able to speak knowledgably and confidently about the issue of assessment, supporting the view that they had incorporated their learning deeply into their cognitive structures. According to the beliefs of the students themselves, the multimedia program appeared to influence the types of strategies they employed and their thinking about assessment as they taught mathematics and other classes during their professional practice. The major implication of the research is that new learning theory can inform the instructional design of interactive multimedia. For implementation in contexts of advanced knowledge acquisition, an instructional design model based on situated learning is an effective substitute for the traditional instructional systems model. Further implications are that excessive intervention by the developer in providing interaction between the program and the learner is not necessary, and that multimedia materials are best designed and implemented socially, not as independent instruction for individual learners. At the conclusion of the thesis, extensive recommendations for further research, both systemic and analytic, are provided.

Full textAbstract:
Millions of people throughout the world suffer from physical injuries and impairments and require physiotherapy to successfully recover. There are numerous obstacles in the way of having access to the necessary care – high costs, shortage of medical personnel and the need to travel to the appropriate medical facilities, something even more challenging during the Covid-19 pandemic. One approach to addressing this issue is to incorporate technology in the practice of physiotherapists, allowing them to help more patients. Using research through design, this thesis explores how interactive machine learning can be utilised in a system, designed for aiding physiotherapists. To this end, after a literature review, an informal case study was conducted. In order to explore what functionality the suggested system would need, an interface prototype was iteratively developed and subsequently evaluated through formative testing by three physiotherapists. All participants found value in the proposed system, and were interested in how such a system can be implemented and potentially used in practice. In particular the ability of the system to monitor the correct execution of the exercises by the patient, and the increased engagement during rehabilitative training brought by the sonification. Several suggestions for future developments in the topic are also presented at the end of this work.

Ross, Stephane. "Interactive Learning for Sequential Decisions and Predictions." Thesis, Carnegie Mellon University, 2013. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3575525.
Full textAbstract:
Sequential prediction problems arise commonly in many areas of robotics and information processing: e.g., predicting a sequence of actions over time to achieve a goal in a control task, interpreting an image through a sequence of local image patch classifications, or translating speech to text through an iterative decoding procedure.
Learning predictors that can reliably perform such sequential tasks is challenging. Specifically, as predictions influence future inputs in the sequence, the data-generation process and executed predictor are inextricably intertwined. This can often lead to a significant mismatch between the distribution of examples observed during training (induced by the predictor used to generate training instances) and test executions (induced by the learned predictor). As a result, naively applying standard supervised learning methods—that assume independently and identically distributed training and test examples—often leads to poor test performance and compounding errors: inaccurate predictions lead to untrained situations where more errors are inevitable.
This thesis proposes general iterative learning procedures that leverage interactions between the learner and teacher to provably learn good predictors for sequential prediction tasks. Through repeated interactions, our approaches can efficiently learn predictors that are robust to their own errors and predict accurately during test executions. Our main approach uses existing no-regret online learning methods to provide strong generalization guarantees on test performance.
We demonstrate how to apply our main approach in various sequential prediction settings: imitation learning, model-free reinforcement learning, system identification, structured prediction and submodular list predictions. Its efficiency and wide applicability are exhibited over a large variety of challenging learning tasks, ranging from learning video game playing agents from human players and accurate dynamic models of a simulated helicopter for controller synthesis, to learning predictors for scene understanding in computer vision, news recommendation and document summarization. We also demonstrate the applicability of our technique on a real robot, using pilot demonstrations to train an autonomous quadrotor to avoid trees seen through its onboard camera (monocular vision) when flying at low-altitude in natural forest environments.
Our results throughout show that unlike typical supervised learning tasks where examples of good behavior are sufficient to learn good predictors, interaction is a fundamental part of learning in sequential tasks. We show formally that some level of interaction is necessary, as without interaction, no learning algorithm can guarantee good performance in general.

Published ArticleAnyone who has taught a large class is aware of the physical and emotional constraints upon both lecturer and students. For students the dominant problems are anonymity, passivity and a frustration of not being able to say what is happening to them. For lecturers the dominant problems are not being able to relate to students as individuals, a feeling of being driven back to traditional teaching, being overwhelmed by assessment demands, and a sense of not being in control of the class. An increase in class size requires lecturers radically to reconsider how they deliver their courses. One such strategy proposed in this paper is that of active learning facilitation - getting students to work and think in the classroom about what and why they are doing what they are doing.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis, focusing on the reasons beyond immediate terrorist and criminal events, studies ‘how’ and ‘why’ terrorist organizations (TOs) and organized crime groups (OCGs) act, react and evolve. It adopts a ‘criminality oriented approach’ that puts discrete pieces of terrorism under a microscopic examination and explains terrorist learning of criminality: how tacit knowledge required for terror tactics and organized crime is processed and saved in the secret domains of TOs and OCGs and how the knowledge is accessed and learned by other illegal organizations. Using Akers’ social learning theory, it explains that TOs and OCGs influence each other through a hybrid network structure and they learn non-traditional activities that require knowledge, skills and techniques (organized crime for TOs and terrorism for OCGs) through associations. It also argues that the associations among them result in the appropriation of tactics and modus operandi, and that the closer association of the two groups may cause the mutation of both organizations. It develops a dynamic model that explains the relationship between terrorism and organized crime and the mutative behaviours of TOs and OCGs. Depicting the present and future capabilities of TOs and OCGs and possible future forms of both terrorism and organized crime threats, it offers pathways to prevent TOs from learning and to strengthen counterterrorism measures.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse porte principalement sur le discours oral en salle de classe et sur l'analyse de la dimension interactive du discours pédagogique. La nature personnelle et affective de l'apprentissage de la communication en langue étrangère est surtout mise en valeur. À cet effet, l'accent est mis sur certains aspects psycho-sociaux du comportement langagier des apprenants. Basés sur cette observation, les portraits interactifs, à la fin de la thèse, nous permettent d'esquisser des tendances qui existant dans le domaine de l'adoption des rôles interactifs. La thèse se divise en quatre parties. La première partie traite des diverses perspectives de l'acte de communication et définit les composantes des interactions intervenant dans les situations d'échange verbal, avant de les étendre à la situation d'enseignement. L’hypothèse émise est la suivante: la situation pédagogique traditionnelle de par sa nature formelle restreint le champ des rôles interactifs adoptés par les apprenants à ceux de l'interlocuteur et de l'auditeur. Afin de remédier à cette situation, il est suggéré que des activités pédagogiques en salle de classe doivent ressembler plus à la conversation courante pour que l'apprenant ait l'accès à tous les rôles interactifs. La deuxième partie présente des activités pédagogiques basées sur cette hypothèse. La troisième partie traite des données de l'expérience, ses avantages et ses inconvénients. La quatrième partie présente les résultats de l'expérience et de la recherche, et les conclusions émises en faveur de la micro-analyse du comportement verbal des apprenantsThis thesis is essentially about the teaching-learning of a foreign language as communication. We strive to explore the interactive dimension of oral discourse in the teaching-learning situation. The personal and social nature of the teaching-learning of a foreign language is stressed. An attempt is made at comprehending this issue by means of the observation of certain psycho-social aspects of interactive role adoption behavior in the classroom setting. The thesis is divided into four sections. Fundamental theories concerning the speech situation and diverse types of interactions are exposed in the first half of section 1. After a description of the pedagogical speech situation and of traditional teacher-learner social and interactive roles, it is hypothesized that new pedagogical activities must be proposed to offer varying possibilities to the learner. The second section deals with communicative activities based on a progressive approach. The experiment is described in the section 3 - part 4 reveals the results obtained in the experiment and in the research. Interactive act and role tables based on learner behavior in significant extracts of the pedagogical activities enable us to give interactive profiles of learn. These profiles are enriched further by subjective information gleaned from personal questionnaires. To conclude, it is suggested that research is a process oriented field and a plea is made in favor of analyses of learner behavior, made on the unsaid aspects in oral

Full textAbstract:
Interactive multimedia has the potential to create high quality learning environments that actively engage the learner. For example it can combine explanation with illustrative examples, on-line assessment with feedback and provide opportunities to practise and experiment. A range of media elements can be used to convey a given message and the learner can study at a time, place and pace convenient to them. However there is growing evidence that the potential of interactive multimedia is not being fulfilled. Early designs were often driven by technology rather than pedagogy, with a focus on the physical interface. This thesis argues that if we are to design effective interactive learning applications then a learner-centred approach to their design and implementation should be taken. Design and development should not focus solely on the application: integration into the curriculum must be planned, and designed for, carefully. Attention should be given to social, or contextual, factors; these strongly affect whether learners actually use applications and learn from them. A series of experimental trials and associated studies into learning with interactive multimedia were carried out in order to explore this further. The results indicate that whilst there is some evidence that the use of interactive multimedia can aid learning, its effect and benefits are not as clear-cut as its proponents suggest. This work demonstrates the importance of considering the wider context when designing for learning with interactive multimedia and informs the integration of multimedia into the curriculum. The result is a curriculum integration framework, which highlights the need to locate the application design in the context of use and advocates user involvement throughout the design and development process. Curriculum integration should be designed for at the outset and evaluated as ongoing activity. Advice is given on how to do this This thesis also explores problems associated with conducting research in real-world learning contexts. A rich description is provided through a reflective analysis of the difficulties encountered with the methodological approach taken here. Alternative approaches are reviewed. Guidance is provided, which practitioners wishing to engage in educational research can use in selecting which method, or methods, to use.

We live in an era where interactivity is gradually becoming more available, yet our schoolsare not catching up to this trend, instead we are faced with passive learning environmentswhere active construction of knowledge is limited. In this study we looked at theconstructivist approach to learning and compared it to the objectivist approach that iscommonly used in most schools of today. We looked at other successful interactive learningenvironment and how they may look like. We developed a passive educational video and aprototype of an interactive learning environment, where the interactive environmentworked as a supplement to the educational video. We further conducted a quantitative testthrough a questionnaire on these environments to see if the learning outcome of theinteractive learning environment outperformed the learners of the educational video. Thedata we collected did not show any significant difference between passive and interactivelearning, it did, however, show some interesting trends such as younger participants ingeneral performed better than older participants in our interactive learning environment.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation reports research concerning the adaptation of learning systems to students' different learning styles (LSs), particularly in relation to the analysis and planning of Interactive Learning Systems (ILSs). Given the primacy of Interactive Learning and its pedagogical implication on educational designs, the motivation for this research is better understanding of students' different learning preferences and perceptions of Computer Mediated Learning Interactions (CMLIs), as this may present some insights into what and how interactivity can be incorporated more purposefully and efficiently into learning systems designs. This research undertakes a review of the literature relating to LSs' theories, which have been used to explore how individual learners approach learning, as well as different Learning Interactions in relation to Interactive Learning Systems (ILSs). The work undertaken in this research makes its contribution to the field in that it represents one of the first explicit investigations of the relationship between students' LSs (Active-Reflective/Visual Verbal dimensions) and their attitude towards different CMLIs that constitute essential part of ILSs, in terms of use, perceptions and learning preferences, from the users' (learners) perspective rather than the teachers and/or designers of these systems. The research provides evidence to support the differing views of learners of different LSs as well as evidence of common attitudes towards certain CMLIs. However, it warns against and highlights some of the limitations of using the LSs in isolation and the importance of considering other factors and aspects of students' individual differences. A model is proposed to guide the planning and design of ILSs, and to raise the designers' and teachers' awareness of learners' differences and call upon them to take necessary steps to consider actual learners' LSs in the learning design. Implications of the findings in terms of interactivity design considerations are discussed; research limitations and recommendations for future work are made.

El objetivo principal de esta tesis consiste en utilizar eficazmente los modelos de tópicos latentes para afrontar el problema de la recuperación automática de vídeo. Concretamente, se pretende mejorar tanto a nivel de eficiencia como a nivel de precisión el actual estado del arte en materia de los sitemas de recuperación automática de vídeo. En general, los modelos de tópicos latentes son un conjunto de herramientas estadísticas que permiten extraer los patrones generadores de una colección de datos. Tradicionalmente, este tipo de técnicas no han sido consideradas de gran utilidad para los sistemas de recuperación automática de vídeo debido a su alto coste computacional y a la propia complejidad del espacio de tópicos en el ámbito de la información visual.In this work, we are interested in the use of latent topics to overcome the current limitations in CBVR. Despite the potential of topic models to uncover the hidden structure of a collection, they have traditionally been unable to provide a competitive advantage in CBVR because of the high computational cost of their algorithms and the complexity of the latent space in the visual domain. Throughout this thesis we focus on designing new models and tools based on topic models to take advantage of the latent space in CBVR. Specifically, we have worked in four different areas within the retrieval process: vocabulary reduction, encoding, modelling and ranking, being our most important contributions related to both modelling and ranking.

Using presentations in an m-Learning environment enables delivery of rich content to a mobile phone learner. This study investigated how to prepare and stream presentations from a desktop computer to a mobile phone in near-realtime. It also addressed communication between users using interactive text chat in the same environment. Our analysis of text/podcast-based m-Learning applications revealed limited interactivity and lack of diversity in content streamed. To address this, we developed a mobile-based application that uses a task-timer model to synchronize with a server every n units of time to enable near-realtime streaming of presentation slides between mobile and desktop users. The application included text-based instant messenger. Laboratory experiments investigated the use OpenOffice and PowerPoint presentations and techniques used to convert these presentations into mobile phone compatible formats. Experiments were carried out with smart mobile phones running on a third generation cellular network. We employed transaction-logging techniques in addition to automated image analysis techniques to observe and record data. Analysis of the results revealed using presentations enabled more rich content than text-based models such as short message service-based frameworks and podcasts. Although m-Learning is not yet widely adopted, applications such as the one developed in the study offer high hopes for m-Learning because of the use of rich content and interactivity between users.

Modern vector graphics editors support the creation of a wonderful variety of complex designs and artwork. Users produce highly realistic illustrations, stylized representational art, even nuanced data visualizations. In light of these complex graphics, selections, representations of sets of objects that users want to manipulate, become more complex as well. Direct manipulation tools that artists and designers find accessible and useful for editing graphics such as logos and icons do not have the same applicability in these more complex cases. Given that selection is the first step for nearly all editing in graphics, it is important to enable artists and designers to express these complex selections. This thesis explores the use of interactive machine learning techniques to improve direct selection interfaces. To investigate this approach, I created Insight, an interactive machine learning selection tool for making a relevant class of complex selections: visually similar objects. To make a selection, users iteratively provide examples of selection objects by clicking on them in the graphic. Insight infers a selection from the examples at each step, allowing users to quickly understand results of actions and reactively shape the complex selection. The interaction resembles the direct manipulation interactions artists and designers have found accessible, while helping express complex selections by inferring many parameter changes from simple actions. I evaluated Insight in a user study of digital designers and artists, finding that Insight enabled users to effectively and easily make complex selections not supported by state-of-the-art vector graphics editors. My results contribute to existing work by both indicating a useful approach for providing complex representation access to artists and designers, and showing a new application for interactive machine learning.

Full textAbstract:
La musique est une pratique culturelle permettant aux êtres humains d'exprimer sensiblement leurs intentions à travers le son. L'apprentissage machine définit un ensemble de modèles permettant de nouvelles formes d'expression au sein desdits systèmes interactifs musicaux. Cependant, en tant que discipline informatique, l'apprentissage machine demeure essentiellement appliquée à la musique du point de vue des sciences de l'ingénieur, qui, très souvent, conçoit les modèles d'apprentissage sans tenir compte des interactions musicales prenant place entre humains et systèmes. Dans cette thèse, j'envisage la possibilité de mener des pratiques de design avec l'apprentissage machine pour les systèmes interactifs musicaux. Je soutiens que l'apprentissage machine doit avant tout être situé au sein d'un contexte humain afin d'être conçu et appliqué au design de systèmes interactifs musicaux. Pour défendre cette thèse, je présente quatre études interdisciplinaires, dans lesquelles j'introduis des modèles intermédiaires d'apprentissage, dits modèles-prototype, au sein de méthodes de conception centrées humain, afin d'appliquer l'apprentissage machine à quatre tâches musicales situées : le mapping mouvement-son, l'exploration sonore, l'exploration de la synthèse, et l'interaction musicale collective. À travers ces études, je montre que les modèles-prototype permettent de générer des idées de design pour l'apprentissage machine en amont de la phase d'ingénierie desdits modèles, ce en lien étroit avec les utilisateurs potentiels de ces systèmes. Je montre également que les systèmes d'apprentissage machine centrés humain résultant de ce processus de conception rendent possible des processus dynamiques d'expression entre les humains et les machines, allant au-delà de la création d'artefacts musicaux statiques. Je propose de nommer co-expression ces processus d'interaction musicale entre des êtres humains - faisant preuve d'un élan expressif et créatif quelque soit leur expertise musicale - et des machines - dont les capacités d'apprentissage peuvent être perçues comme expressives du point de vue de l'humain. En outre, je présente cinq systèmes interactifs musicaux conçus avec lesdits modèles-prototypes, et relate leurs restitutions publiques au sein d'ateliers, expositions, installations et performances. Par une approche réflexive, je montre que les contributions musicales apportées par des pratiques de design avec l'apprentissage machine peuvent, à terme, complémenter les contributions scientifiques apportées par les méthodes de conception centrées humain. Ainsi, je suggère que la recherche musicale peut être menée par le design de dispositifs interactifs musicaux, c'est-à-dire, par la réalisation technique d'artefacts esthétiquement fonctionnels remettant en cause les normes culturelles régissant l'informatique et la musiqueMusic is a cultural and creative practice that enables humans to express a variety of feelings and intentions through sound. Machine learning opens many prospects for designing human expression in interactive music systems. Yet, as a Computer Science discipline, machine learning remains mostly studied from an engineering sciences perspective, which often exclude humans and musical interaction from the loop of the created systems. In this dissertation, I argue in favour of designing with machine learning for interactive music systems. I claim that machine learning must be first and foremost situated in human contexts to be researched and applied to the design of interactive music systems. I present four interdisciplinary studies that support this claim, using human-centred methods and model prototypes to design and apply machine learning to four situated musical tasks: motion-sound mapping, sonic exploration, synthesis exploration, and collective musical interaction. Through these studies, I show that model prototyping helps envision designs of machine learning with human users before engaging in model engineering. I also show that the final human-centred machine learning systems not only helps humans create static musical artifacts, but supports dynamic processes of expression between humans and machines. I call co-expression these processes of musical interaction between humans - who may have an expressive and creative impetus regardless of their expertise - and machines - whose learning abilities may be perceived as expressive by humans. In addition to these studies, I present five applications of the created model prototypes to the design of interactive music systems, which I publicly demonstrated in workshops, exhibitions, installations, and performances. Using a reflexive approach, I argue that the musical contributions enabled by such design practice with machine learning may ultimately complement the scientific contributions of human-centred machine learning. I claim that music research can thus be led through dispositif design, that is, through the technical realization of aesthetically-functioning artifacts that challenge cultural norms on computer science and music

Full textAbstract:
This thesis proposes creating an interactive learning environment for Human Computer Interaction (HCI) to facilitate access to, and learning of, important design knowledge. By encapsulating HCI knowledge into reusable claims stored in a knowledge repository, or claims library, this learning environment aims at allowing students to effectively explore design features to limit their reliance on intuition to mold their interfaces, help them address proper design concerns, and evaluate alternatives for their designs. This learning approach is based on active learning where students create their own knowledge by gathering information. However, building adequate development records from which students can gather HCI knowledge is critical to support this approach. This thesis explores using effective reusable design components to act as design records to create an interactive learning environment for students learning HCI design.
An initial prototype for the learning environment introduces claims as an encapsulation mechanism for design features from which students can gather HCI knowledge. Pilot testing outlines the accessibility, applicability and reusability problems associated with this approach. To solve theses issues, a taxonomic organization of an improved form of claims (reference claims), is introduced to share core design knowledge among students. A taxonomy is designed as a way to expose students to important design concerns as well as a method to categorize claims. Reference claims are introduced as improved claims inspired by reference tasks to expose students to design alternatives for design concerns. A detailed taxonomy and a set of reference claims for the domain of notification systems demonstrate how existing theories of design can be translated into reference claims to create an interactive learning environment. An experiment illustrates the applicability and reusability of reference claims for various designs within a particular domain. Finally, an evaluation assesses the benefits of this learning environment based on reference claims in terms of improving student designs and increasing the amount of HCI knowledge they reuse. Results show that by exposing students to valuable concerns and alternatives for the design of interactive systems, an interactive learning environment based on reference claims can improve studentsâ understanding of the design scope and lead to an increased use of existing HCI knowledge in their designs.Master of Science

Full textAbstract:
Every day, machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) embeds itself further into domestic and industrial technologies. Interaction de- signers have historically struggled to engage directly with the subject, facing a shortage of appropriate methods and abstractions. There is a need to find ways though which interaction design practitioners might integrate ML into their work, in order to democratize and diversify the field. This thesis proposes a mode of inquiry that considers the inter- active qualities of what machine learning does, as opposed the tech- nical specifications of what machine learning is. A shift in focus from the technicality of ML to the artifacts it creates allows the interaction designer to situate its existing skill set, affording it to engage with ma- chine learning as a design material. A Research-through-Design pro- cess explores different methodological adaptions, evaluated through user feedback and an-in depth case analysis. An elaborated design experiment, Multiverse, examines the novel, non-anthropomorphic aesthetic qualities of generative literature. It prototypes interactions with bidirectional literature and studies how these transform the reader into a cybertextual “user-reader”. The thesis ends with a discussion on the implications of machine written literature and proposes a number of future investigations into the research space unfolded through the prototype.

Full textAbstract:
Visitors use and understanding of interactive exhibits and their learning of scientific concepts was investigated by three studies. The first study categorised visitors' use of a sound exhibit and found that 49% successfully used the exhibit. Understanding was described with a knowledge hierarchy and learning was measured using a pre-test and post-test. Findings indicated that many visitors had prior knowledge of the relevant concepts and 50% of visitors learnt a concept from the exhibit. The second study investigated young children's understanding and interaction with the Mitey Quarry, a cooperative exhibit of four elements, conveyor, elevator, auger and sorter, which were used to move balls around the exhibit. Findings indicated that children's activities and their level of understanding varied for each element, though higher levels were achieved with elements that were easily observable. The children's activities began with observation, and then vacillated between manipulation, operation and control of an element. The third study identified the educational objectives of a physical fitness exhibit, Let's Get Physical, and their achievement by high school students. Findings indicated that the instructional sequence integrated cognitive and affective objectives, and although 42% of students stated their intentions to begin new exercise activities in response to the exhibit message "to be active everyday", after two weeks, these intentions had not been enacted. The research has contributed to improved exhibit design by demonstrating the value of knowledge, activity and affective hierarchies in identifying exhibit objectives and providing a means for evaluation. Hierarchies are an effective way to describe and measure the visitors' use and understanding of interactive exhibits and learning from them.

Full textAbstract:
This research is focused on developing a generic intelligent architecture for an interactive tutoring system. A review of the literature in the areas of instructional theories, cognitive and social views of learning, intelligent tutoring systems development methodologies, and knowledge representation methods was conducted. As a result, a generic ITS development architecture (GeNisa) has been proposed, which combines the features of knowledge base systems (KBS) with object-oriented methodology. The GeNisa architecture consists of the following components: a tutorial events communication module, which encapsulates the interactive processes and other independent computations between different components; a software design toolkit; and an autonomous knowledge acquisition from a probabilistic knowledge base. A graphical application development environment includes tools to support application development, and learning environments and which use a case scenario as a basis for instruction. The generic architecture is designed to support client-side execution in a Web browser environment, and further testing will show that it can disseminate applications over the World Wide Web. Such an architecture can be adapted to different teaching styles and domains, and reusing instructional materials automatically can reduce the effort of the courseware developer (hence cost and time) in authoring new materials. GeNisa was implemented using Java scripts, and subsequently evaluated at various commercial and academic organisations. Parameters chosen for the evaluation include quality of courseware, relevancy of case scenarios, portability to other platforms, ease of use, content, user-friendliness, screen display, clarity, topic interest, and overall satisfaction with GeNisa. In general, the evaluation focused on the novel characteristics and performances of the GeNisa architecture in comparison with other ITS and the results obtained are discussed and analysed. On the basis of the experience gained during the literature research and GeNisa development and evaluation. a generic methodology for ITS development is proposed as well as the requirements for the further development of ITS tools. Finally, conclusions are drawn and areas for further research are identified.

The major objectives of this thesis involve the development of both dynamic and interactive applications aimed at complementing traditional engineering and science coursework, laboratory exercises, research, and providing users with easy access by publishing the applications on Wolframs Demonstration website. A number of applications have been carefully designed to meet cognitive demands as well as provide easy-to-use interactivity.
Recent technology introduced by Wolfram Mathematica called CDF (Computable Document Format) provides a resource that gives ideas a communication pipeline in which technical content can be presented in an interactive format. This new and exciting technology has the potential to help students enhance depth and quality of understanding as well as provide teachers and researchers with methods to convey concepts at all levels. Our approach in helping students and researchers with teaching and understanding traditionally difficult concepts in science and engineering relies on the ability to use dynamic, interactive learning modules anywhere at any time.
The strategy for developing these applications resulted in some excellent outcomes. A variety of different subjects were explored, which included; numerical integration, Green's functions and Duhamel's methods, chaotic maps, one-dimensional diffusion using numerical methods, and two-dimensional wave mechanics using analytical methods. The wide range of topics and fields of study give CDF technology a powerful edge in connecting with all types of learners through interactive learning.Master of Science

Full textAbstract:
Of the many forms of technology that is available for use by teachers with their students in the classroom, interactive whiteboards (IWBs) demonstrate considerable potential in helping to meet the needs of students with diverse learning styles and to engage students during the learning process. Integrating elements of text, graphics, sound, video and the capability of the user to physically interact with the objects on the screen, the IWB has offered an innovative approach to teaching and learning interactively.
For over five years, teachers at an elementary school in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia have expressed an interest in the innovative potential of IWB technology and have been using IWBs in their classrooms. Teachers have observed, discussed and documented multiple ways in which IWBs have supported teaching and learning.
United by a common thread to improve their skills as IWB users, a group of teachers have voluntarily come together once a month after-school. Through a mutual strong desire and curiosity to enhance student learning, teachers engaged in conversations, and discussed issues related to the use of IWB technology in their classrooms through a teacher inquiry research group.
This qualitative study identified key attributes of the Inquiry Group as well as examined how teacher conversations about interactive whiteboard technology have evolved into a learning community. Through inquiry meetings and electronic conversations on the Group’s wiki, teachers have created time to think deeply about how their practice has changed as well as share what has happened in their classrooms. Teachers have shown professional growth in their understanding about pedagogy and practice through conversations. Teachers reflected characteristics including respect, self-reflection, openness, curiosity, leadership, passion, cooperation and a willingness to learn. Conversations about IWB use were significant in facilitating teachers’ framing of their individual professional development and building of a network. It has enabled a group of teachers to come together to learn professionally and evolve into a community of learners.

Full textAbstract:
On one hand, academic and industrial researchers have been developing and deploying robots that are used as educational tutors, mediators, and motivational tools. On the other hand, an increasing amount of interest has been placed on non-expert users being able to program robots intuitively, which has led to promising research efforts in the fields of machine learning and human-robot interaction. This dissertation focuses on bridging the gap between the two subfields of robotics to provide personalized experience for the users during educational, entertainment, and therapeutic sessions with social robots. In order to make the interaction continuously engaging, the workspace shared between the user and the robot should provide personalized contexts for interaction while the robot learns to participate in new tasks that arise.
This dissertation aims to solve the task-learning problem using an instance-based framework that stores human demonstrations as task instances. These instances are retrieved when confronted with a similar task in which the system generates predictions of task behaviors based on prior solutions. The main issues associated with the instance-based approach, i.e., knowledge encoding and acquisition, are addressed in this dissertation research using interactive methods of machine learning. This approach, further referred to as interactive instance-based learning (IIBL), utilizes the keywords people use to convey task knowledge to others to formulate task instances. The key features suggested by the human teacher are extracted during the demonstrations of the task. Regression approaches have been developed in this dissertation to model similarities between cases for instance retrieval including multivariate linear regression and sensitivity analysis using neural networks. The learning performance of the IIBL methods were then evaluated while participants engaged in various block stacking and inserting scenarios and tasks on a touchscreen tablet with a humanoid robot Darwin.
In regard to end-users programming robots, the main benefit of the IIBL framework is that the approach fully utilizes the explanatory behavior of the instance-based method which makes the learning process transparent to the human teacher. Such an environment not only encourages the user to produce better demonstrations, but also prompts the user to intervene at the moment a new instance is needed. It was shown through user studies that participants naturally adapt their teaching behavior to the robot learner's progress and adjust the timing and the number of demonstrations. It was also observed that the human-robot teaching and learning scenarios facilitate the emergence of various social behaviors from participants. Encouraging social interaction is often an objective of the task especially with children with cognitive disabilities, and a pilot study with children with autism spectrum disorder revealed promising results comparable to the typically developing group.
Finally, this dissertation investigated the necessity of renewable context for prolonged interaction with robot companions. Providing personalized tasks that match each individual's preferences and developmental stages enhances the quality of the user experience with robot learners. Confronted with the limitations of the physical workspace, this research proposes utilizing commercially available touchscreen smart devices as a shared platform for engaging the user in educational, entertainment, and therapeutic tasks with the robot learners.
To summarize, this dissertation attempts to defend the thesis statement that a robot learner that utilizes an IIBL approach improves the performance and efficiency of general task learning, and when combined with the state-of-the-art mobile technology that provides personalized context for interaction, enhances the user's experience for prolonged engagement of the task.

Due to rapid knowledge creation and information technology innovation, governments and enterprises pay more attention to e-learning behaviors for society and organizations. Thus, e-learning systems become the important way of learning. The effectiveness of e-learning systems influences by learner’s characteristics, the goal of learning, as well as organization''s management style. Conflicts on productivity and cost-benefit for e-learning systems are often found. Various theories about e-learning system and learning behaviors, namely the technology diffusion theory, the social capital theory, the motivation theory, the learning theory and so on. They are unable fully explain the behavior of e-learning. Therefore has need to establish theoretical interactive learning model for e-learning system. Case study is conducted data are collected from on financial enterprise. Theoretical interactive learning model for e-learning system is established by grounded theory. By the model, the behavior of e-learning can be clearly explained and predicted. The effective suggestions for developing and promoting e-learning systems are also provided.

The rapid expansion of modern information network has prompted the development of learning practice to become more diversified. Amid an increasingly focus on digital learning perspective, online video learning is one of the important development trends. In this study, a video learning platform was developed to allow users to annotate the key clips and make them into an online notebook through the text or diagrams while performing video learning. The users’ behaviors were recorded by the system during their learning process in hope to master the video learning course of the learners. An unequal grouping experiment design was adopted. The research findings show that the learning outcome of the experiment group of 39 participants was significantly more effective than the control group of 80 participants who used the general video learning system. The learning process was analyzed and the results are shown as follows: Students involved in producing the notebook have a positive impact on learning performance during the process of picture annotation and video watching. The experimental effect was further explored based on the concluded analytical results of the paper.

Education is the foundation of a country. Education reform is an issue that everyone cares about. The government, parents, teachers and students care about the next generation’s learning status. Since 1968, compulsory education has been extended from six years to nine years. In 1990, there was a series of education reform activities. However, it was found that students have gradually disliked learning, and their abilities have deteriorated. Japan's Sato Professor 90 years found low students’ learning willingness and therefore advocated ‘learning revolution’, and promoted the concepts of ‘collaborative learning’ and ‘learning community’. It was hoped that radical changes could be achieved through schools, teachers, parents and students’ viewpoints towards education, students could retrieve their passion and motivations, students could study hard due to knowledge acquisition, instead of examination marks. As a result, in 2010, Salman. Khan founded the Khan Academy used the concept of flip learning to reverse the traditional concept of classroom learning, which handed over the control of learning back to students. Students, through the Internet video, learnt independently prior to lectures, took questions to classes for further discussion with teachers. Teachers could also gather students’ learning status through the survey on the Internet and offer appropriate assistance. In accordance with the concept of flip learning, a digital teaching platform could have potential opportunities for keeping up with the change, conducting the structural adaption, bringing about the convenience of ICT integration into teaching, and therefore enabling reform in learning. This study is hoped that through literature review and interviews with experts gather to learn based on the model of an interactive teaching platform of flip learning, and then confirm via questionnaires for teachers in general education platform meets the need for a modular architecture to construct a teaching platform, expect this under the framework of teaching and learning sides to achieve full real-time interaction and feedback, teachers but also by students feedback on learning, adapt teaching contents and promote students’ learning effectiveness. It will also provide program staff to develop recommendations flipped learning platform for interactive teaching modules .
