Interpreting statistical graphs is a crucial component of the 21st-century skillset known as statistical literacy. Despite their importance for statistical literacy, research reports that systematic errors often occur in the interpretation. As no consolidated overview of these errors existed to date, …

Understanding the behaviour of parallel circuits is challenging for many students. In this paper, we present a lesson designed to support students in learning about parallel circuits by constructing a qualitative representation. Qualitative representations are non-numerical models that focus on causal …

Abstract: The Problem-Solution Chain (PSC) models proposed in this exploratory paper are conceived as describing chains of problem-solution links, thereby modelling specific multi-link ‘problem-solving’ paths, typically (but not exclusively) from a high-level business problem to lower-level functional …

Learning by creating qualitative representations is a valuable approach to learning. However, modelling is challenging for students, especially in secondary education. Support is needed to make this approach effective. To address this issue, we explore automated support provided to students while they …

Urban densification is promoted for sustainable urban growth, yet it also generates concerns about negative health impacts on local citizens. Engaging local citizens in the co-design of densification projects is therefore crucial to address their needs and concerns. The use of immersive Virtual Reality …

Developing personas is a widely used (marketing) method to gain insight into important behavioral components of a specific population by creating a detailed description of someone who represents the target audience. Personas are fictitious persons and give a detailed description of the motivations, needs, …

In this abstract we describe a computational approach for detecting discursive patterns in social media. Newsrooms of municipalities and public organizations such as the police follow public debate on social media to be aware of and prepare for local and global issues and rumors. The onset of these issues …

Stargazing Live! aims to capture the imagination of learners with a combination of live and interactive planetarium lessons, real astronomical data, and lessons built around interactive knowledge representations. The lessons were created using a co-creation model and tackle concepts in the pre-university …

This thesis compares Unreal Engine 5 and Blender, focusing on their effectiveness in photorealistic interior visualisations, for 360Fabriek, an immersive media studio in Rotterdam. The primary goal is to determine which rendering engine excels in render setup time efficiency, visual quality, and hardware …
