Low Versus High Intensity Emotion in Animated Pedagogical Agents
This document describes a qualitative study that explored how learners perceive animated pedagogical agents displaying low versus high intensity emotions. The study involved interviews and reflection journals with 8 participants who interacted with an agent displaying either low or high intensity emotions. Results showed more similarities than differences between the two groups. Both groups felt agents could support learning but were also distracting. Suggestions included using agents to demonstrate concepts and provide feedback. Limitations included a small sample size and focusing only on negative emotions. The study provides insights into how emotion intensity may not impact learner perceptions of agents.

Observational and Log Analysis Methods for Assessing Engagement and Affect in...Games for Learning Institute (G4LI)
This document discusses two methods for assessing student engagement and affect in educational games: quantitative field observations and automated detectors. Quantitative field observations involve experts observing students' engagement and affect during gameplay through periodic 20-second observations coding behaviors and affective states. Automated detectors use models to assess engagement and affect in real-time or retrospectively from student behavior data without sensors. The author's lab has used these methods to compare engagement and affect between games and intelligent tutoring systems, and to study the influence of social behavior on affective dynamics in games. Both methods provide ecologically valid assessments of student disengagement, affective experiences, and can be used in research and to improve learning outcomes through intervention.Recommended

1:1 in the Elementary Setting: One Year Later
This document summarizes research on teachers' perceptions and use of iPads in a K-5 elementary school during the first and second years of a 1:1 iPad implementation program. In the second year, teachers felt more confident using iPads but actual iPad use decreased across subjects. While technical and administrative support improved, professional development was still lacking. Overall, the results suggest that sustaining meaningful educational technology integration requires ongoing training and support as teachers develop experience over multiple years.

Seminar On PISA
This document discusses key findings from PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) tests and their implications. It finds that students who score higher on PISA literacy skills tests at age 15-65 are more likely to have positive life outcomes such as employment, health, and civic participation. It also examines trends showing improved science performance in most OECD countries between 2006-2015 but wide variation in performance between countries. The document advocates for policies to ensure all students learn at high levels, not just some, in order to meet the demands of the 21st century.

The effects of learner characteristics and beliefs on usage of ASR-CALL systems
Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) has seen a rise in recent years of software applications that use Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) to provide pronunciation feedback for language learners. ASR-CALL systems process large amounts of natural language data to provide immediate and individual feedback on the pronunciation accuracy of recorded learner utterances. In order for ASR-CALL systems to be implemented successfully and become effective tools for pronunciation training, understanding learner beliefs and perceptions about pronunciation and technology is key. While recent studies have investigated levels of learner satisfaction and engagement with ASR-CALL systems, little research has been done to date which investigates specific learner characteristics and beliefs which affect learner usage of ASR-CALL systems.
Wall Street English (WSE) currently has over 180,000 learners in 28 countries, and provides adult learners with a bespoke, blended-learning programme where students complete self-study interactive multimedia lessons before attending teacher-led classes. WSE have built activities within the multimedia self-study component of the course that allow students to record phrases and receive word-level ASR-driven feedback on pronunciation accuracy. For the current study, all students enrolled in selected WSE centres in China, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia and Italy had the opportunity over a four week period to complete these CALL-ASR activities. Students were able to retry each phrase a number of times in order to improve their pronunciation, received ASR-driven feedback on each retry, and were provided with a model audio with which to compare their own recorded attempts. The data presented in this study is drawn from three sources: an analysis of the anonymised study data from the 2,867 students from the countries mentioned above; survey data from 485 of these students; and individual qualitative interviews with 58 of these students.

- The document summarizes the initial findings of New Hampshire's 1:1 laptop program in its first 6 months. It found that both students and teachers substantially increased their use of technology in school across all subject areas. Students also reported using technology more at home. Teachers believed technology helped students develop deeper understandings and be more engaged. However, the long term impacts on student achievement still need to be measured, and 1:1 programs face challenges in demonstrating clear impacts on standardized test scores.

A workshop hosted by the South African Journal of Science aimed at postgraduate students and early career researchers with little or no experience in writing and publishing journal articles.LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
