However, the usefulness these “proxies for learning” questioned as they do not necessarily reflect critical thinking—an essential component learning. Research indicates that pedagogical content schemes have value in measuring discourse small scale, formal, online environments, but research using methods on...

The proliferation of Web-based learning objects makes finding and evaluating resources a considerable hurdle for learners to overcome. While established analytics methods provide feedback that can aid learner evaluation resources, the adequacy reliability these is questioned. Because engagement with online different from other Web activity, it important establish pedagogically relevant measures development distinct, automated analysis systems. Content often used examine discussion in...

Background: According to established ethical principles and guidelines, patients in clinical trials should be fully informed about the interventions they might receive. However, information placebo-controlled typically focuses on new intervention being tested provides limited at times misleading placebos. Objective: We aimed create an informative, scientifically accurate, engaging website that could used improve understanding of placebo effects among who considering taking part a trial....

The proliferation of Web-based learning objects makes finding and evaluating online resources problematic. While established Learning Analytics methods use Web interaction to evaluate learner engagement, there is uncertainty regarding the appropriateness these measures. In this paper we propose a method for pedagogical activity in comments using framework, present preliminary study that assigns Pedagogical Value (PV) comments. This has value as it categorises discussion terms rather than...
