Cognitive Emotions Recognition in e-Learning: Exploring the Role of Age Differences and Personality Traits
Methodologies and Intelligent Systems for Technology Enhanced Learning 9th International Conference, 2020Co-Authors: Berardina Carolis, Francesca D’errico, Marinella Paciello, Giuseppe PalestraAbstract:It is well known that emotions have a great impact on the learning process and this becomes especially important when moving to On-Line Education. Then, endowing e-learning systems with the capability of assessing the emotional state of learners, can be used to provide feedback about their difficulties and problems. In this paper, we present an empirical study performed with a group of first-year students aiming at getting information on users’ affective state during the learning process considering their personality traits. At this aim, we developed a tool for cognitive emotion recognition from facial expressions. Results show how detected emotions can be considered as an indicator of the e-learning process quality. Furthermore, another result is that cognitive emotions, experienced during e-learning process, can be strongly differentiated according to the learning activities, students age and personality.

The Swinburne On-Line Education project
ACM SIGCSE Bulletin, 1998Co-Authors: C. J. Pilgrim, M. J. CreekAbstract:Many universities throughout the world are exploring the possibilities of On-Line delivery of Educational programs. These developments have the potential to significantly change the face of higher Education as we know it today. In order to compete in an international market, Swinburne University of Technology has decided on a strategic approach to the development of web-based delivery of courses. This paper will report on all aspects of the Swinburne On-Line Education (OLE) project especially the developments within the School of Information Technology which has the responsibility for the delivery of Computer Science programs

Effects of online palliative care training on knowledge, attitude and satisfaction of primary care physicians
BMC Family Practice, 2011Co-Authors: Marta Pelayo, Diego Cebrián, Almudena Areosa, Yolanda Agra, Juan Vicente Izquierdo, Félix BuendíaAbstract:Background The Spanish Palliative Care Strategy recommends an intermediate level of training for primary care physicians in order to provide them with knowledge and skills. Most of the training involves face-to-face courses but increasing pressures on physicians have resulted in fewer opportunities for provision of and attendance to this type of training. The effectiveness of On-Line continuing medical Education in terms of its impact on clinical practice has been scarcely studied. Its effect in relation to palliative care for primary care physicians is currently unknown, in terms of improvement in patient's quality of life and main caregiver's satisfaction. There is uncertainty too in terms of any potential benefits of asynchronous communication and interaction among On-Line Education participants, as well as of the effect of the learning process. The authors have developed an On-Line Educational model for palliative care which has been applied to primary care physicians in order to measure its effectiveness regarding knowledge, attitude towards palliative care, and physician's satisfaction in comparison with a control group. The effectiveness evaluation at 18 months and the impact on the quality of life of patients managed by the physicians, and the main caregiver's satisfaction will be addressed in a different paper. Methods Randomized controlled Educational trial to compared, on a first stage, the knowledge and attitude of primary care physicians regarding palliative care for advanced cancer patients, as well as satisfaction in those who followed an On-Line palliative care training program with tutorship, using a Moodle Platform vs. traditional Education. Results 169 physicians were included, 85 in the intervention group and 84 in the control group, of which five were excluded. Finally 82 participants per group were analyzed. There were significant differences in favor of the intervention group, in terms of knowledge (mean 4.6; CI 95%: 2.8 to 6.5 (p = 0.0001), scale range 0-33), confidence in symptom management (p = 0.02) and confidence in terms of communication (p = 0.038). Useful aspects were pointed out, as well as others to be improved in future applications. The satisfaction of the intervention group was high. Conclusions The results of this study show that there was a significant increase of knowledge of 14%-20% and a significant increase in the perception of confidence in symptom management and communication in the intervention group in comparison with the control group that received traditional methods of Education in palliative care or no Educational activity at all. The overall satisfaction with the intervention was good-very good for most participants. This On-Line Educational model seems a useful tool for palliative care training in primary care physicians who have a high opinion about the integration of palliative care within primary care. The results of this study support the suggestion that learning effectiveness should be currently investigated comparing different Internet interventions, instead of Internet vs. no intervention.

On-Line Education, More Than One-way Education?
Journal of Emerging Technologies in Web Intelligence, 2009Co-Authors: Martin Stigmar, Peter KarlsuddAbstract:The aim of the evaluation research described is by critically examining an in-service Education course, to give 25 university teachers a foundation for developing and improving their activities with a focus on flexible learning and ICT-supported Education. In the final examination task the participants performed an Educational activity with the aim of increasing their own understanding of the area and simultaneously spread the interest in and knowledge of ICTsupported Education to colleagues and students. The results show that the degree of freedom offered in the course was not appreciated by all. Too great a freedom of choice may lead to negative consequences for interaction and throughput. This conflicting interest between a desire to maximize flexibility and avoidance of dropouts is problematized. A necessary reconceptualisation in faculty development, from organizing teacher-centred learning situations towards student-centred, is made explicit. This suggests some concrete advice to organizers of flexible Education, namely the value of: i) fast feedback; ii) holistic planning; iii) functioning technology; iv) relevant course literature and v) clear goals. The principle of making the participants immediately test their newly acquired knowledge by passing it on to their colleagues was positively received by everyone.
