Kilowh.at – Increasing Energy Awareness Using an Interactive Energy Comparison Tool

Reducing the use of energy is important for several reasons, such as saving money and reducing impact on the climate. However, the awareness among non-experts of how much energy is required by different activities is generally low, which can lead to wrong prioritizations. In this study, we have developed an interactive tool to increase “energy … Continue reading “Kilowh.at – Increasing Energy Awareness Using an Interactive Energy Comparison Tool”

Mobile collaborative language learning: State of the art

This paper presents a review of mobile collaborative language learning studies published in 2012–16 with the aim to improve understanding of how mobile technologies have been used to support collaborative learning among second and foreign language students. We identify affordances, general pedagogical approaches, second- and foreign-language pedagogical approaches, second language acquisition (SLA) principles and affective … Continue reading “Mobile collaborative language learning: State of the art”

Students’ Experience and Use of Assessment

The results showed five different levels in which the assessment was experienced, ordered in a hierarchy, where a lower level is part of the higher ones. The two lower levels, 1. Grading … Continue reading “Students’ Experience and Use of Assessment”

Towards a Reference Architecture for Smart and Personal Learning Environments

At the previous International Conference on Smart Learning Environments, I presented my paper Towards a Reference Architecture for Smart and Personal Learning Environments. Abstract: Personal learning environments (PLEs) evolved as a response to the limitations on self-regulated learning posed by institutional control of learning environments, such as Learning Management Systems. Smart learning environments (SLEs) have more recently … Continue reading “Towards a Reference Architecture for Smart and Personal Learning Environments”
