Formative Assessment in Computer-Supported Inquiry Learning in Secondary STEM Education Ghent University

Tammy Schellens
Department of Educational Studies
Studies show a decline in youths’ academic performance and interest in STEM subjects. Computersupported inquiry-based learning can address this. While students need guidance during inquiry, the role of peers as a source of support is currently understudied. This research project explores under which conditions peer assessment, as a specific source of support, produces the best learning outcomes.

Investigating the role of the teacher in technology-enhanced collaborative learning settings for supporting complex skills KU Leuven

Annelies Raes
Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences

While both industrial companies and researchers in our field are developing increasingly powerful teaching robots and intelligent tutoring systems, there is limited understanding about how this technology can effectively be implemented in education and how this will affect the teacher’s role. My research program will focus on how teachers can effectively use and interact with educational technology to support complex skills in a Computer- ...

Competence-development of students: The use of technology enhanced collaborative learning and automated feedback as academic interventions to increase success rates for first-generation first year students at university. Hasselt University

Katrien STRUYVEN
UHasselt Research on Innovative and Society-engaged Education
Previous research focused on identifying variables that contribute positively or negatively to students' academic success. This type of research showed that students' social background influences the chances of academic success. Students with a low SES or firstgeneration first-year students have a higher chance of leaving higher education without a diploma and score lower on average. The variable social background is difficult to influence, but ...

Optimization of technology-enhanced collaborative work in educational and professional context. KU Leuven

Fien Depaepe
Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences, Kulak Kortrijk Campus

Although the value of collaborative problem solving (CPS) is widely recognized, successful teamwork is not guaranteed. Previous work in the field of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning has found that teachers in educational contexts and learning coaches in professional contexts often lack the knowledge about how CPS can best be taught. Moreover, the tools to support and objectively assess CPS are currently ...

Energy-aware Collaborative Intelligence for the IoT Edge. University of Antwerp

Jeroen Famaey
Internet Data Lab (IDLab)
Edge computing has emerged as a novel computing paradigm for the Internet of Things. Compared with the well-known cloud computing, edge computing migrates data computation or storage to the network ''edge,'' near the end users. This approach offers several advantages; it (1) reduces end-to-end latency, (2) reduces congestion and bandwidth consumption in the core network, (3) improves local load balancing capabilities and scalability, and (4) ...

Scaling Up secure Processing, Anonymization and generation of Health Data for EU cross border collaborative research and Innovation KU Leuven

Anton Vedder
Research Unit KU Leuven Centre for IT & IP Law (CiTiP)

The overall goal of the SECURED project is to scale up multiparty computation, data anonymization and synthetic data generation, by increasing efficiency and improving security, with a focus on private and unbiased artificial intelligence and data analytics, health-related data and data hubs, and cross-border cooperation. The project will address the limitations that are currently preventing the widespread use of secure multiparty computation ...

The impact of self and peer assessment in wiki-based CSCL-environments on students' self regulated learning and learning outcomes Ghent University

Bram De Wever
Department of Educational Studies

The aim of this project is studying the impact and added value of self and peer assessment in wiki-based computer-supported collaborative learning environments. Within higher and secondary setting, the impact on students' self regulated learning and performance will be studied, together with the differential impact of the amount, type, and quality of the feedback within the peer assessment conditions.

Synergistic scaffolding in technology-enhanced STEM learning. How can technology help to balance between autonomy and guidance during scientific inquiry? Ghent University

Tammy Schellens
Department of Educational Studies

This project focuses on how Computer-Supported Collaborative Inquiry should be brought into the educational practice of Science, Technology, Mathematics and Engineering (STEM) and how support should be designed to serve a diversity of students regarding the obtainment of deep knowledge construction, problem solving skills and motivation in science. Literature stresses that supporting multiple students in a ...

Designing and Evaluating Student-facing Learning Dashboards: Lessons Learnt KU Leuven

Katrien Verbert, Erik Duval
Production Engineering, Machine Design and Automation (PMA) Section, Informatics Section

Through the rise of on-line education, an abundance of learner data is generated and gathered. While Educational Data Mining provides insights algorithmically to better understand students, Learning Analytics (LA) attempts to leverage these traces to empower learners by increasing motivation, autonomy, effectiveness, and efficiency. One method to achieve this empowerment is that of Learning Dashboards, a personal informatics or ...

Stable multi-agent learning for networks (SMILE-IT). University of Antwerp

Steven Latré
Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Flemish Institute for Technological Research, Ghent University, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Internet Data Lab (IDLab)
The central research question of the SMILE-IT project is: "How can complex networks become self- organizing while ensuring stability and without sacrificing on performance. Moreover the decisions taken by the system should be understand- able and guidable." More precisely, the project aims to develop a framework for studying and managing modern distributed networked systems that contain a large number of entities or agents, both machine and ...
