Computer Assisted Learning


Book Description

This volume contains the invited lectures and selected papers from the Third International Conference on Computer Assisted Learning. The contributions cover a wide range of theoretical and practical topics, including knowledge acquisition, intelligent computer assisted instruction, microworlds, media-based CAL, hypermedia environments and instruction, student modeling, evaluation of learning environments, simulation tools, application systems for logic, discourse, visual programming, physiology, structural frames, real time measurement, automotive maintenance, flight training, and implementation of CAL in distance education in various countries. For those active or interested in computer assisted learning, particularly at the post-secondary level, these proceedings provide an up-to-date and international review of important accomplishments in the area.







Computer Assisted Instruction and Intelligent Tutoring Systems


Book Description

The fields of computer-assisted instruction and intelligent tutoring systems have had few vehicles for sharing ideas or programs. Different backgrounds and settings meant reading different journals and attending different conferences. The purpose of this book is to foster a mutual understanding of shared issues and contemporary approaches so as to further powerful educational applications of computing. It is unique in drawing on both the intelligent tutoring systems and computer assisted instruction communities. Each chapter provides an in-depth discussion by leaders in these fields of current work, focusing on instructional programs -- their design, use, and evaluation. The editors and authors have made extensive efforts to ensure each chapter's clarity and readability for both communities.













Computer Assisted Learning


Book Description

ICCAL, the International Conference on Computers and Learning, is a forum for the exchange of ideas and presentation of developments in the theory andpractice of computer uses in education, with a focus on post-secondary education. ICCAL '92 was held at Acadia University in Wolfville, Nova Scotia, Canada, June 17-20, 1992. This volume presents the proceedings of ICCAL '92, and features 45 submitted and 6 invited papers. Topics addressed include hypermedia systems, multimedia learning environments, educational strategies, knowledge based tutors, program visualization systems, intelligent tutoring systems, mouse and touchscreen comparison, cooperative multimedia, authoring systems, language learning, spelling remediation, teaching geometry, a tutoring assistant for arithmetic, a learning package for statistics, conversational pattern learning, adaptive navigational tools, and many more.
