Current work
Currently, I am working on the learner model of ActiveMath.The main goals are to model motivation and meta-cognitive aspects of students in order to analyze and exploit their influence to enhance the learning experience and therefore the effectivity of learning in a technology enhanced learning environment.
Research Interests
- Artificial Intelligence
- Machine Learning / Data Mining
- User modeling in adaptive eLearning environments
- Motivation and Meta-cognition in learning processes
