Gaming frequency and academic performance
There are numerous claims that playing computer and video games may be educationally beneficial, but there has been little formal investigation into whether or not the frequency of exposure to such games actually affects academic performance. This paper explores the issue by analysing the relationships between gaming frequency - measured as the amount of time undergraduate students spend playing games in their free time - and their academic perfo…
Hypermedia and discovery based learning
In 1992, I published a paper entitled 'Hypermedia and discovery based learning: A historical perspective'. It traced the swings in the history of educational thinking between, on the one hand, support for conventional curriculum based learning and, on the other, the non-linear approach expressed by many educational commentators over the centuries. As I saw things, hyperlink technology would finally allow learning truly to mesh with the free assoc…

Lexical Signatures in Foreign Language Free-Form Texts
This paper presents an investigation into the extent to which the lexical choices made by learners of a second language (L2) are distinctive. It follows on from an earlier paper by the same authors in which a neural network was successfully trained to mark a set of texts produced by L2 learners to the same standard, within broad categories, as had been awarded by experienced human markers. For this present paper, we examined a set of L2 texts and…
Vocabulary and neural networks in the computational assessment of texts written by second-language learners
Spectres of Remorse
What is one to make of the first four texts of Marguerite Duras's La Douleur?l They are presented as autobiographical accounts, as opposed to the two stories following them which, Duras tells us (pp.184 and 198), are pure fiction. But if these autobiographical accounts are textes de circonstance, how is one to explain, other than as barely believable lapses of memory, certain discrepancies between what they contain and what can be credibly establ…
