Supporting Teachers' Orchestration in Robot-mediated Classrooms

Sina Shahmoradi

To bring educational robots to classrooms, we need to consider teachers' self-efficacy and challenges in managing a robot-mediated classroom, and how to support them in overcoming these challenges. Orchestration tools are designed to support teachers by pr ...

Robot Analytics: What Do Human-Robot Interaction Traces Tell Us About Learning?

Pierre Dillenbourg, Wafa Monia Benkaouar Johal, Jennifer Kaitlyn Olsen, Jauwairia Nasir, Utku Norman, Sina Shahmoradi

In this paper, we propose that the data generated by educational robots can be better used by applying learning analytics methods and techniques which can lead to a deeper understanding of the learners’ apprehension and behavior as well as refined guidelin ...

An integrated way of using a tangible user interface in a classroom

Pierre Dillenbourg, Jessica Elke Dehler Zufferey, Sébastien Cuendet

Despite many years of research in CSCL, computers are still scarcely used in classrooms today. One reason for this is that the constraints of the classroom environment are neglected by designers. In this contribution, we present a CSCL environment designed ...

AngeLA: Putting the Teacher in Control of Student Privacy in the Online Classroom

Denis Gillet, Andrii Vozniuk, Sten Govaerts

Learning analytics (LA) is often considered as a means to improve learning and learning environments by measuring student behaviour, analysing the tracked data and acting upon the results. The use of LA tools implies recording and processing of student act ...

Shared annotations: the social side of exam preparation

Pierre Dillenbourg, Andrea Mazzei

In this paper we show how the deployment of a lightweight note sharing system can restore the antique social vocation of annotations in the classroom. The system was designed for the classroom context and evaluated through a longitudinal study lasting for ...
