Integrated planning framework for successful river restoration projects: upscaling lessons learnt from European case studies (2017)
Journal Article
Angelopoulos, N. V., Cowx, I. G., & Buijse, A. D. (2017). Integrated planning framework for successful river restoration projects: upscaling lessons learnt from European case studies. Environmental science & policy, 76, 12-22. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envsci.2017.06.005

Despite considerable investment in river restoration projects, there is still limited information on the efficacy and success of river restoration activities. One of the main reasons is poor or improper project design, resulting in common problems su...

Use of the dynalearn learning environment by naïve student modelers: Implications for automated support (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Noble, R., & Bredeweg, B. Use of the dynalearn learning environment by naïve student modelers: Implications for automated support

This paper shows that naïve students will require coaching to overcome the difficulties they face in identifying the important concepts to be modeled, and understanding the causal meta-vocabulary needed for conceptual models. The results of this stud... Read More about Use of the dynalearn learning environment by naïve student modelers: Implications for automated support.
