To design information retrieval (IR) learning environments and instruction, it is important to explore learners' conceptions of the domain to be examined. Expand

The Information Retrieval Game is based on the idea that test collections used in laboratory-based IR experiments could be used in instruction as a rapid query analysis tool. Expand

In order to design information retrieval (IR) learning environments and instruction, it is important to explore learning outcomes of different pedagogical solutions. Expand

In order to design information retrieval (IR) learning environments and instruction, it is important to explore available pedagogical solutions and their impact on learning experiences and performance in learning situations. Expand

The design and evaluation of two information retrieval (IR) learning environments took place in a basic course of IR (6 ECTS credits) at the University of Tampere. Expand

In this chapter, the pedagogical design and evaluation of interactive information retrieval learning environment is presented. Expand

The paper argues that, for the real user of an IR system, the study of variation in results is even more important than averages. Expand

The Query Performance Analyser (QPA) for information retrieval systems is an interactive tool for the performance analysis of individual queries. Expand

A pedagogical design experiment on two information retrieval (IR) learning environments is presented. Expand
