Imitation Learning in Discounted Linear MDPs without exploration assumptions

Volkan Cevher, Efstratios Panteleimon Skoulakis, Luca Viano

We present a new algorithm for imitation learning in infinite horizon linear MDPs dubbed ILARL which greatly improves the bound on the number of trajectories that the learner needs to sample from the environment. In particular, we re- move exploration assu ...

Introducing Alternative Value Proposition Canvases for Collaborative and Blended Design Thinking Activities in Science and Engineering Education

Denis Gillet, Isabelle Barbara Marie-Hélène Cardia

The value proposition canvas introduced in 2015 by Pigneur et al. is broadly used by entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs to create new services and products. We decided to apply it for collaborative and blended design thinking activities in a specialization in ...

Emergency adaptation to distance learning: no magic bullet, but where there’s a will, there’s a way

Caroline Pulfrey

Whilst, in many countries, the sudden enforced transfer to large-scale distance learning in state schools as a result of COVID_19 lockdown measures caused turmoil, it also provided an unprecedented opportunity to understand more about key factors associate ...

Educational Technologies for Vocational Education. Experiences as Digital Clay

Pierre Dillenbourg, Richard Lee Davis

This book summarises 15 years of research (2007-2021) on the exploitation of digital technologies for VET. In other words, our activities started the same year as the first iPhone was launched! Four research groups formed the leading house on the topic, na ...

Temporal Pathways to Learning: How Learning Emerges in an Open-ended Collaborative Activity

Pierre Dillenbourg, Mortadha Abderrahim, Jauwairia Nasir, Aditi Kothiyal

The learning process depends on the nature of the learning environment, particularly in the case of open-ended learning environments, where the learning process is considered to be non-linear. In this paper, we report on the findings of employing a multimo ...

Adaptive Social Learning

Ali H. Sayed, Virginia Bordignon

This work proposes a novel strategy for social learning by introducing the critical feature of adaptation. In social learning, several distributed agents update continually their belief about a phenomenon of interest through: i) direct observation of strea ...

Designing Tools and Activities for Educational Robotics in Online Learning

Evgeniia Bonnet, Christian Giang

The COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent school closures created several challenges for teachers and students. From one day to the next, teachers had to rethink their educational activities and move to remote learning. Especially with regard to educational ...

Many Are The Ways to Learn: Identifying multi-modal behavioral profiles of collaborative learning in constructivist activities

Pierre Dillenbourg, Barbara Bruno, Jauwairia Nasir, Aditi Kothiyal

Understanding how learners engage with learning technologies, and its relation with their learning, is crucial to the design of effective learning interventions. Assessing the learners’ state however, is non-trivial. Research suggests that performance is n ...

Bringing Computational Thinking to non-STEM Undergraduates through an Integrated Notebook Application

Denis Gillet, Juan Carlos Farah, Adrian Christian Holzer

Computational thinking courses are no longer exclusive to engineering and computer science students in higher education but have become a requirement in other fields, as well as for students in secondary, primary, and even early childhood education. Comput ...

Designing for the co-Orchestration of Social Transitions between Individual, Small-Group and Whole-Class Learning in the Classroom

Jennifer Kaitlyn Olsen

Educational technologies are often developed such that students work on specific social levels (e.g., individual, small group, whole class) at specific times. However, in the reality of the classroom, learning activities are not so cleanly divided, with tr ...

FLeet: Online Federated Learning via Staleness Awareness and Performance Prediction

Rachid Guerraoui, Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Rhicheek Patra, Georgios Damaskinos, Vlad-Tiberiu Nitu

Federated Learning (FL) is very appealing for its privacy benefits: essentially, a global model is trained with updates computed on mobile devices while keeping the data of users local. Standard FL infrastructures are however designed to have no energy or ...
