DeepTest, una herramienta para el refuerzo del aprendizaje conceptual: descripción y experiencias de uso

Versión electrónica de la ponencia presentada en el Simposio Internacional de Informática Educativa (SIIE 2004), celebrado en 2004 en CáceresEn este artículo se describe la herramienta DeepTest, concebida para permitir reforzar el aprendizaje conceptual de cualquier materia, y que puede utilizarse a través de Internet. Se analizan en primer lugar los aspectos genéricos de dicha herramienta, basada en el uso de ejercicios interactivos de detección de incorrecciones. A continuación se describe, por un lado, una primera experiencia de su utilización con un grupo de alumnos, y por otro, los planes de su aplicación en un proyecto de innovación docente que se está comenzando a realizar en la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid

A Tool for the Reinforcement of Conceptual Learning: Description and Use Experiences

In this paper we describe the DeepTest tool, which is intended to reinforce the conceptual learning of any subject by means of interactive exercises for the detection of incorrect texts. DeepTest can be used through Internet. The generic aspects of the tool are analyzed, and a first report on conclusions from the use of the tool by a group of students and teachers is presented. The main conclusion is that DeepTest can be used effectively in assessment tasks and its use is very simple and intuitive.The DeepTest environment for the design and resolution of interactive exercises for the detection of incorrect texts is the result of work in the HyperTest project, funded by the Fundación General de la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, and the Ensenada, TIC 2001-0685-C02-01, and Arcadia, TIC2002-01948, projects, within the Plan Nacional de Investigación, Spain

Design and resolution of exercises based on the detection of errors in documents using the DeepTest tool

Reprinted from the World Conference on E-Learning in Corporate, Government, Healthcare, and Higher Education, October 2005, with permission of AACE (http://www.aace.org).We present DeepTest, a tool for the design and resolution through Internet of highly interactive exercises based on documents related to virtually any subject. Existing educational contents based on documents can be reused in order to design interactive exercises with DeepTest. We explain the reasons that indicate that in comparison with classical multiple choice or blank filling tests, the work with DeepTest exercises shows much better the level of global comprehension by the student of the matter under study, and encourages the reinforcement of this knowledge. Finally, we explain some ongoing experiences with DeepTest in different subjects.The DeepTest environment is a product of the work developed within the HyperTest project, funded by the Fundación General de la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, and projects Ensenada, TIC 2001-0685-C02-01, and Arcadia, TIC2002-01948, from Spain’s Plan Nacional de Investigación

Customized web-based data presentation

This is an electronic version of the paper presented at the World Conference on the WWW and Internet & Intranet (WebNet'98) held in Orlando, FL (United States) on 1998Reprinted from the WebNet 98 : World Conference of the WWW, Internet, & Intranet with permission of AACE (http://www.aace.org).This paper presents a language for specifying the presentation of data in Web pages. The language is an extension of HTML that includes constructs for specifying how to present one or more instances of a given class of data, and constructs for tailoring the presentation to the features of the data, to information in user profiles and to the capabilities of the user s platform. We describe the architecture of the system, the features of the page specification language, and present examples of generated pages

Virtual slots: increasing power and reusability for user interface development languages

The definitive Version of Record was published in CHI '95 Conference Companion on Human Factors in Computing Systems, http://dx.doi.org/10.1145/223355.223548Proceeding of CHI '95 Conference Companion on Human Factors in Computing SystemsAn extension to constraint-based user interface development languages is shown. It permits the abstract representation of constraints which must be applied to objects that are not accessible in the moment of the constraint definition. Using this mechanism, more modularity is achieved, as each part of information is stored where it is needed. Richer libraries of reusable objects can therefore be built in a natural way.Virtual Slots are a part of KIISS, a project funded by the National Research Plan of Spain. under grant No. TIC93-0268

Kinematic Analysis of a Flexible Tensegrity Robot

Conference Paper presented at The Joint International Conference of the XII International Conference on Mechanisms and Mechanical Transmissions (MTM) and the XXIII International Conference on Robotics (Robotics ’16)In the field of parallel kinematics few designs use highly deformable elements to obtain the end effector movement. Most compliant mechanisms rely on notches or shape changes to simulate a standard kinematic joint. In this work a kinematic model of a simple parallel continuum mechanism that combines a deformable element and cable is presented. The kinematic model is used to study the workspace of the manipulator and is validated by experimental measurements of a prototype.The authors wish to acknowledge the financial support received from the Spanish Government through the Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad (Project DPI2015-64450-R) and the Regional Government of the Basque Country through the Departamento de Educación, Universidades e Investigación (Project IT445-10) and UPV/EHU under program UFI 11/29

Proceedings. 1998 Australasian, Adelaide, SA, 1998, pp. 306-313The appearance of model-based techniques for interface development has simplified the design of complex interactive applications, but this approach still requires from the designer a high knowledge level about the textual specification required. This paper presents a system, called KIISS (Knowledge-based Interactive Interface Surgery System), which allows the designer of an application to interactively define the model of its interface through visual specifications on an application example. Thus, the system enhances the model by allowing its use by designers who are not quite familiar with the textual specifications required for a user interface development. Moreover, reusability is preserved, since parts of existing applications can be both exchanged and modified interactivelyKIISS is partially supported by the Plan National de Investigation, Programa National de Tecnologia de Information y de las Comunicaciones, Spain, project number TIC93-0268, and a special grant from Comunidad de Madrid (Action Especial KIISS)
