Paper submitted to EARLI SIG 6 & 7 meeting

iTalk2Learn partners Claudia Mazziotti, Katharina Loibl, and Nikol Rummel (RUB) submitted a theoretical paper to the EARLI SIG 6 & 7 meeting. The paper discusses adaptive sequencing of structured practice and exploratory tasks to facilitate robust learning. This sequencing plays a major part of the intervention model of the iTalk2Learn project.

RUB paper submitted to major international research journal

iTalk2Learn partners Katharina Loibl and Nikol Rummel (RUB) submitted a theoretical paper to a major international journal. The paper discusses learning mechanisms underlying beneficial effects of exploratory learning tasks prior to explicit instruction that will inform the intervention model of the iTalk2Learn project. The paper is co-authored by Ido Roll (CWSEI, University of British Columbia).
