“…Mastering a foreign language relies heavily on building vocabulary necessary for listening, reading, speaking, and writing (Yang 2012). Several creative approaches have been developed to support such vocabulary learning, including hypertext annotations in e-learning (Chen et al 2013), collaborative multimedia (Joseph et al 2005), word games (Lin et al 2008), virtual environments (Pala et al 2011), and interactions with robots (Wu et al 2008). The instructional designs for these prototypes leverage on three main strategies, namely, repetition, engagement, and context.…”

Augmented reality (AR) has the potential to create compelling learning experiences. However, there are few research works exploring the design and evaluation of AR for educational settings. In our research, we treat AR as a type of multimedia that is situated in authentic environments and apply multimedia learning theory as a framework for developing our educational applications. We share our experiences in developing a handheld AR system and one specific use case, namely, situated vocabulary learning. Results of our evaluations show that we are able to create AR applications with good system usability. More importantly, our preliminary evaluations show that AR may lead to better retention of words and improve student attention and satisfaction.

“…Most of the competition systems in education are based on the resolution of a set of questions or challenges. In this direction, several authors presented works related to competition systems, each one with some differences in the presentation or proposal of the questions: -Lin, Young, and Hung (2008) show a crossword game for learning English. -Pfotenhauer, Gagnon, Litzkow, and Blakesley (2009) present the ''Cool-it'' game for learning cryogenic principles.…”

ISCARE (Information System for Competition based on pRoblem solving in Education) is a new and inno-vative intelligent tutoring system that we have designed and implemented. This tool allows the compe-tition among students for improving their learning process in a course. The tool takes some ideas from the Swiss-system widely used in chess and adapts them to the educational area. The competition is based on different tournaments and rounds. In each round, students are assigned in pairs of two, which compete one against another, and each pair receives different questions that students have to solve in a limit of time. Students can see their partial ratings after each round and their final rating after a tournament. A lot of knowledge from different disciplines was used to design, and implement this system, as ISCARE includes different functionality such as the students' registration into the system, the creation of tourna-ments, the registration and assignment of students to tournaments, the management of each tournament life cycle (started, in execution, finished, etc.), the addition of the different exercises to tournaments, the calculation of pairs of students for each round with different algorithms, the assignment of exercises per round and pair, the scorings of the students per round and tournament, the management of the students' ratings, or the visualization of information. This paper presents the ISCARE intelligent tutoring system, describing its different options, menus, or functionality as well as its architecture and the specific mod-eling to achieve the desired features.

“…The system presented in [14] introduces virtual pets so that students see virtual characters instead of themselves, and are thus not directly involved. The work in [15] uses a crossword that combines cooperation and competition. Other systems have included collaboration in the competition.…”
