Investigating children's embodied learning in mixed-reality environments, where they collaboratively simulate scientific processes, requires analyzing complex multimodal data to interpret their learning and coordination behaviors. Learning…
We introduce an approach to partitioning networks into communities that not only determines the best community structure, but also provides a range of characterization techniques to assess how significant that structure is. We study the…
Numerous strategies have been adopted in order to make the process of learning simple, efficient and within less amount of time.. Classroom learning is slowly replaced by E-learning and M- learning. These techniques involve the usage of…
The problem of the insensitivity of the macroscopic behavior of any thermodynamical system to partitioning generates a bias between the reproducibility of its macroscopic behavior viewed as the simplest form of causality and its long-term…
We investigate the dynamics of student behaviors (posture, gesture, vocal register, visual focus) and the substance of their reasoning during collaborative work on inquiry-based physics tutorials. Scherr has characterized student activity…
We have formulated a family of machine learning problems as the time evolution of Parametric Probabilistic Models (PPMs), inherently rendering a thermodynamic process. Our primary motivation is to leverage the rich toolbox of thermodynamics…
