In an online learning environment, students are sometimes faced with complex tasks that can reduce learning motivation. In computer learning environment, pedagogical agents were created to promote students' motivation and learning outcomes. In this article the application of motivation theory in the construction of pedagogical agent motivation is explored. First, the theory of motivation is explained so that it may provide a clear picture of contemporary motivation theories that sometimes may appear similar. Second, motivation theories applied in online pedagogical agents are analyzed and reviewed. At the end of the article, several directions of design research for pedagogical agent motivation for the future are illustrated.","PeriodicalId":446455,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Education Technology and Computer","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130462458","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}

There will also be many mistakes due to user negligence. In this study, parametric drawing software was used to draw the model. Using the general basic view method and the parametric drawing software itself to refer to each other, a set of drawing methods was designed and a sleeve was used as an object-oriented paradigm. This study allows the tester to use parametric drawing software to construct the model indicated on the drawing surface. Then, the model drawn by the tester and the model drawn by this study are subjected to five design changes in accordance with the item size indicated on the design change chart. To discuss the time and error rate that the two need to spend when making design changes. This study found that the mapping methods designed in the study had significant differences in the number of errors and the time taken for design changes in each group of experiments. It is hoped that this study will explore the modelling method that considers subsequent design changes as a starting point when constructing the model. It hopes to provide the campus as a teaching tool to achieve the student's future connection with the industry, and to provide for the design of relevant industries.

These mediate the interactions among participants and of these with resources like documents and tools. These tools constitute a valuable source of information about the actual learning processes. However, this use faces multiple problems. Lecturers need to gain expertise on the data each tool provides and how to analyse them, each tool only offers a partial view of the process, students have different profiles and use different tools, and time to make analyses is limited. To address this situation, this work proposes the use of Assistants for Learning Activities (ALAs), i.e. semi-automated tools that use social knowledge to integrate different sources of information and interpret their data. This knowledge is extracted from literature on learning, and specified as social properties. These properties describe patterns that appear in information and their interpretation in terms of the learning-related activities. Their specification relies on a specific modelling language oriented to social activities and their context. It is designed to facilitate communication with the target learning communities. Wrappers for software tools get the raw data, transform them into facts for this language, and assert them in an information base. Then, a pattern matching algorithm finds instances of the social properties among these facts, giving an interpretation of the original data. A case study on teamwork in a project-based learning context of a university using several software tools illustrates the approach. It shows the feasibility of adapting the analysis through the modification of the considered properties, and how these can explain the observed data.","PeriodicalId":446455,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Education Technology and Computer","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130475643","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}

Failure to fully understand the theoretical basis will often result in continuous revision and failure to satisfy the effectiveness of the course. Modularization in the green design course is usually designed based on functional and structural considerations to extend the main life span. If major parts can last longer, other parts can be modularized according to their average life span. Design planning, however, the plan must be able to do a survey from the user's needs at the same time. This modular design can also be combined with other compatible modules to expand product functionality, so as not to be outdated and unrealistic. Needs, but also can complement each other.

Earlier results point at differences related to gender or to age. We have also looked into more details into finer-grain analyzing the weekly behavior of females and males. Here, we further expand this, by showing how, depending on the way the comments are counted, significance can be found when comparing female and male commenting behavior, at the level of the week. Moreover, the topic of the course is an important factor in this behavior. These outcomes can help in informing future runs, in terms of potential personalised feedback for teachers and students.","PeriodicalId":446455,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Education Technology and Computer","volume":"68 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122455988","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}

We collected in-class online activity data that records students' learning behaviors during face-to-face classes, and built prediction models that identify the at-risk groups at every minute during a class. A total of 88 pre-service teachers (56 female, 32 male) were recruited and assigned to 22 collaborative learning groups. The groups participated in two face-to-face collaborative argumentation classes that took place once a week over two consecutive weeks. The participants used online collaboration software, Trello, that allowed in-class online activity data collection during the classes. Ten group activity features were extracted from the data in three categories: participation, interaction, and quality of argumentation. Random forest algorithm was used to build the prediction models based on the group activity features. The results show that the models can detect the low-achieving groups with high accuracy even just a few minutes after the class begins. As the class progressed, the accuracy was improved. Additionally, the model identified the important group activity features that contributed to the group achievement in each phase of class. The results indicate that prediction models using in-class activity data can help instructors accurately identify at-risk groups in real-time and provide appropriate instructional support. An early warning system should be beneficial as well.","PeriodicalId":446455,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Education Technology and Computer","volume":"117 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126712350","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}
