CSE 590D

Computer-Based Learning Environments (Winter 2001)

Welcome to the 590D Winter 2001 home page!

Tuesdays 12:30-1:20 (Meetings in EE1 031  most of the time. See the schedule below for the exceptions).

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.
  • Resources

  • Paper by Morris et al published in JIME, entitled "Student Use of Computer Mediated Communication in an Open University Level 1 Course: Academic or Social?".
  • IJAIED (International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education)
  • Proceedings of the 2000 Conference on Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS 2000).
  • 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.
  • Recent book by Andrea DiSessa: "Changing Minds: Computers, Learning, and Literacy"
  • Book by Richard Noss and Celia Hoyles: "Windows on Mathematical Meanings"
