Hou, Xinying; Nguyen, Huy Anh; Richey, J. Elizabeth; Harpstead, Erik; Hammer, Jessica; McLaren, Bruce M. – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2022
Digital learning games are designed to foster both student learning and enjoyment. Given this goal, an interesting research topic is whether game mechanics that promote learning and those that promote enjoyment have different effects on students' experience and learning performance. We explored these questions in "Decimal Point," a…

Holstein, Kenneth; McLaren, Bruce M.; Aleven, Vincent – Journal of Learning Analytics, 2019
Involving stakeholders throughout the creation of new educational technologies can help ensure their usefulness and usability in real-world contexts. However, given the complexity of learning analytics (LA) systems, it can be challenging to meaningfully involve non-technical stakeholders throughout their design and development. This article…

Holstein, Kenneth; McLaren, Bruce M.; Aleven, Vincent – Grantee Submission, 2019
As artificial intelligence (AI) increasingly enters K-12 classrooms, what do teachers and students see as the roles of human versus AI instruction, and how might educational AI (AIED) systems best be designed to support these complementary roles? We explore these questions through participatory design and needs validation studies with K12 teachers…

Aleven, Vincent; McLaren, Bruce M.; Sewall, Jonathan; van Velsen, Martin; Popescu, Octav; Demi, Sandra; Ringenberg, Michael; Koedinger, Kenneth R. – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2016
In 2009, we reported on a new Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) technology, example-tracing tutors, that can be built without programming using the Cognitive Tutor Authoring Tools (CTAT). Creating example-tracing tutors was shown to be 4-8 times as cost-effective as estimates for ITS development from the literature. Since 2009, CTAT and its…

Polite Web-Based Intelligent Tutors: Can They Improve Learning in Classrooms?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
McLaren, Bruce M.; DeLeeuw, Krista E.; Mayer, Richard E. – Computers & Education, 2011
Should an intelligent software tutor be polite, in an effort to motivate and cajole students to learn, or should it use more direct language? If it should be polite, under what conditions? In a series of studies in different contexts (e.g., lab versus classroom) with a variety of students (e.g., low prior knowledge versus high prior knowledge),…

Wegerif, Rupert; McLaren, Bruce M.; Chamrada, Marian; Scheuer, Oliver; Mansour, Nasser; Miksatko, Jan; Williams, Mriga – Computers & Education, 2010
This paper reports on an aspect of the EC funded Argunaut project which researched and developed awareness tools for moderators of online dialogues. In this study we report on an investigation into the nature of creative thinking in online dialogues and whether or not this creative thinking can be coded for and recognized automatically such that…
