Written language in particular has received a great deal of attention, and many tools now exist to gather information about compositions. This research has resulted in Internet search programs, translators, and computerized narrators. However, analytics have yet to be rigorously applied to the field of academic writing. Within this specialized area, there are many prospects for how analytics may be applied. These details, however, first require definitions of analytics and writing analytics in particular, consideration on how they may be used, and the tools available for their collection and implementation.","PeriodicalId":301310,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 13th International Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies","volume":"12 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126034588","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, present study developed the \"Learner's Digest\" blog (i.e., a learning blog) with relevant features including information retrieval, user friendly context and learner-learner interaction. It was designed to provide interesting blog posts to facilitate meaningful learning. In \"Learner's Digest\" blog learners were participated as blog readers. This paper investigated how one's reading habit contributes to his/her learning effectiveness participating towards Learner's Digest blog. A survey was conducted for understanding the relationship between individual's reading habit, in terms of the reading attitude / behavioral pattern, and the learning effectiveness of participation towards a learning blog, in terms of learning performance and satisfaction. A total of 73 blog readers from \"Learner's Digest\" participated in the study. Hypotheses were tested and data was analyzed using simple linear regression and logistic regression analysis. The result revealed that reading habit is a significant predictor of learning effectiveness. A subsequent analysis showed that people with a stronger reading habit is a significant predictor to greater learning effectiveness. Discussions and implications of this study are also presented.","PeriodicalId":301310,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 13th International Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies","volume":"195 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121030897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper describes the design and development of a prototype electronic training system for the game of Cricket. The system is designed to provide real-time feedback to players and coaches to help improve technique and performance in a game. The system uses a watch with a built-in accelerometer that transmits real-time 3-axis acceleration data from a player using a proprietary wireless protocol. Machine learning techniques are used to analyze this data to provide real-time critique to the player. Player's performance data is also recorded in a Learning Management System (LMS) and a coach or the player can view various reports related to their past performance. The system has been implemented using Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) and shows over 93% accuracy.","PeriodicalId":301310,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE 13th International Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126608892","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
