Computer-Based Learning Environments (Autumn 2000)
Welcome to the 590D Autumn 2000 home page!
Wednesday afternoons 3:30-4:20 in Loew Hall 114.
CSE Faculty Coordinator: Steve Tanimoto
GENERAL TOPIC: The design of computer-based learning environments.
SPECIFIC FOCI:
Inference of student models from evidence gathered during processes of
construction and communication.
Intelligent support for configuring or building learning environments.
Learning environments for computer programming.This is an interdisciplinary
seminar, typically involving participants from CSE, Cognitive Psychology,
the College of Education's Curriculum and Instruction program, and EE.
Our activities include reading and discussing recent papers, critiquing
software systems, designing components of computer-based learning environments,
and occasionally, visiting classrooms to observe K-12 or undergraduate
students interacting with computers.

The new INFACT-FORUM and INFACT-MARKUP tools from the Online Assessment
(or CRLT = Collaborative Research in Learning Technologies) project. INFACT-MARKUP
supports the development of rules that can automatically analyze student
postings for particular text patterns that may suggest particular misconceptions
about the subject matter.
Software written by Jeremy Baer, Steve Tanimoto, and the METIP (Mathematics
Experiences Through Image Processing) Project for manipulating images using
mathematical tools.
