Computerised automated feedback systems for sit-to-stand training
… initial design specification for a computerised automated feedback system for sit-to-stand training was generated. A virtual reality system with audio-visual feedback on performance was subsequently developed. This prototype used an inertial sensor and a portable force plate to provide raw …

Automated feedback in flow for accelerated reaction screening, optimization, and kinetic parameter estimation
… of reactions. The further incorporation of feedback into automated systems invents an even greater possibility: the use of algorithms to intelligently manipulate different continuous variables-for instance temperature, time, and concentration-until an optimal synthesis is achieved. This …

A Field Experiment to Test the Effects of Automated Feedback and Monetary Incentive on Speeding Behavior
… During one week, 40 participants experienced an automated feedback system, which provided visual and auditory alerts when they sped five or more mph over the limit. Twenty of these 40 individuals experienced a monetary incentive system during their second and third weeks of driving. Ten …

Towards a Process-Oriented Approach to Feedback Research
Feedback is an essential means of supporting learners in improving their performance. However, there is often a gap between the potential and the actual use of feedback. Adopting a process-oriented perspective, this dissertation investigates task-level learning engagement as a central mechanism of …

Auto grading tool for introductory programming courses
Using automated grading tools to provide feedback to students is common in Computer Science education. The first step of automated grading is to find defects in the student program. However, finding bugs in code has never been easy. Current automated grading tools do not focus on identifying defects …

Supporting Primary School Programming Education through Formative Feedback
… with their programming issues. Corrective feedback given during the learning process (i. e. formative feedback) can help by promoting cognitive factors such as content knowledge. This thesis therefore aims to support primary school programming education through formative feedback. In order …

Improving feedback in elementary mathematics autograders
… program that is able to give students thorough, automated feedback on their mathematics assignments. This will allow teachers to spend less time grading (and consequently more time on other activities that might better help their students) without losing any of the feedback and error correcting a …

Analysis and reduction of variability in scanning electron microscopy measurements of critical dimensions
… As part of this effort an anonymous, automated feedback system was developed and piloted to give operators feedback on their measurements using a standard structure. Although the data from the pilot was inconclusive, the need to monitor measurement variability seems clear. Finally, the …

Intelligent Goal-Oriented Feedback for Java Programming Assignments
Within computer science education, goal-oriented feedback motivates beginners to be engaged in learning programming. As the number of students increases, it is challenging for teaching assistants to cater to all the doubts of students and provide goals. This problem is addressed by intelligent …

Electron tunneling and spin relaxation in a lateral quantum dot
… to other QPC-based systems. We develop an automated feedback system to position the energies of the states in the dot with respect to the Fermi energy of the leads. We also develop a triggering system to identify electron tunneling events in real-time data. Using real-time charge sensing, …

Modeling Student Software Testing Processes: Attitudes, Behaviors, Interventions, and Their Effects
… evaluation. By building upon an existing automated grading system, we developed an adaptive feedback system to provide customized incentives to reinforce incremental testing behaviors while students solved programming assignments. We investigated how students react to concrete testing …

Infectious Disease Surveillance Using Emerging Data Sources: Applications to Antimicrobial Resistance and COVID-19
… third study, I evaluated the effectiveness of an automated feedback intervention for antimicrobial stewardship among primary care physicians in Canada and Israel, using concurrent controls drawn from two large primary care databases. The results showed a reduction in the mean duration of …

Context Dependent Gaze Metrics for Evaluation of Laparoscopic Surgery Manual Skills
… differences between experts and novices although feedback on skill acquisition is most useful for trainees or educators. To advance eye-gaze assessment in laparoscopic surgery, this research presents a three-stage gaze based assessment methodology to provide a standardized process for generating …

Automated benchmarking of surgical skills using machine learning
… involves constant practice of skills and seeking feedback from supervising surgeons, who generally have a packed schedule. The process of manual assessment makes the whole training cycle extremely cumbersome and inefficient. Having automated assessment systems for surgical training can be of great …
