Claudia Roda’s paper "The role of attention in the design of Learning
Management Systems" will appear in the proceedings of the IADIS
International Conference on Cognition and Exploratory Learning in
Digital Age 2005. The paper, co-authored with Thierry Nabeth (INSEAD),
discusses how modern learning environments would greatly benefit from a
better management of two apparently conflicting goals. On the basis of
findings in cognitive psychology and pedagogy, the authors present some
of the issues that should be taken into consideration for the design of
systems capable of such guidance and propose how these may be integrated
in the architecture of an attention aware learning management system. |
