Summary: Recent advances in virtual and augmented reality have led to the development
of a number of simulations for different applications. In particular,
simulations for monitoring, evaluation, training, and education have started to
emerge for the consumer market due to the availability and affordability of
immersive display technology. In this work, we introduce a virtual reality
environment that provides an immersive traffic simulation designed to observe
behavior and monitor relevant skills and abilities of pedestrians who may be at
risk, such as elderly persons with cognitive impairments. The system provides
basic reactive functionality, such as display of navigation instructions and
notifications of dangerous obstacles during navigation tasks. Methods for
interaction using hand and arm gestures are also implemented to allow users
explore the environment in a more natural manner.

Summary: This paper introduces a novel method for detecting and modeling intentions
of students performing training tasks in a Virtual Reality (VR) environment
enhanced with intelligent tutoring capabilities. Our VR-setup provides students
with an immersive user interface, but produces noisy and low-level input, from
which we need to recognize higher-level cognitive information about the
student. The complexity of this task is amplified by the requirements of the
target domain (child pedestrian safety), where students need to train complex
skills in dynamic settings. We present an approach for this task, which
combines the logic-based Event Calculus (EC) and probabilistic modeling.

Summary: Adaptive link annotation is a popular adaptive navigation support
technology. Empirical studies of adaptive annotation in the educational context
have demonstrated that it can help students to acquire knowledge faster,
improve learning outcomes, reduce navigational overhead, and encourage
non-sequential navigation. In this paper, we present our exploration of a
lesser known effect of adaptive annotation, its ability to significantly
increase students' motivation to work with non-mandatory educational content.
We explored this effect and confirmed its significance in the context of two
different adaptive hypermedia systems. The paper presents and discusses the
results of our work.

Summary: In a recent study, we discovered a new effect of adaptive navigation support
in the context of E-learning: the ability to motivate students to work more
with non-mandatory educational content. The results presented in this paper
extend the limits of our earlier findings. We describe the implementation of
adaptive navigation support for the SQL domain, and report the results of the
classroom evaluation of our approach. Among other issues, we investigate
whether the use in parallel of two different types of navigation support could
change the nature or the magnitude of the previously observed effect. Our study
confirms the motivational value of navigation support in the new domain. We
observe the increase of this effect after adding the concept-based navigation
layer to the existing topic-based adaptive navigation service. The results of
the navigational pattern analysis allow us to determine the major source of
this increase.

Summary: Web-based parameterized quizzes provide teachers and students with several
advantages as the technology for self-assessment. However, the effect of these
advantages is strongly reduced, if a student does not receive enough support
and cannot see her/his progress during the course. We have developed the system
QuizGuide, which attempts to solve this problem by navigating students through
the quiz material of the course in adaptive way. Architecture, interface and
plans of future system development are described here. The paper also presents
first results of system evaluation.

Summary: This paper is focused on user modeling and adaptation in distributed
E-Learning systems. We describe here CUMULATE, a generic student modeling
server developed for a distributed E-Learning architecture, KnowledgeTree. We
also introduce a specific, topic-based knowledge modeling approach which has
been implemented as an inference agent in CUMULATE and used in QuizGuide, an
adaptive system that helps students select the most relevant self-assessment
quizzes. We also discuss our attempts to evaluate this multi-level student
modeling.
