By contrast to the conventional, ad hoc frame-oriented CAI, an information-structure-oriented(ISO) CAI system is based on an information network of facts, concepts and procedures; it can generate text, questions, and corresponding answers. 3, record 1, English, - frame%2Dbased%20CAI

The use of the word "frame-oriented" to describe CAI systems... refers to the prestored instructional units, often called frames, in which CAI encodes lessons prepared by a human expert. There units contain small portions of the curriculum and are successively displayed on the screen for presentation and questions. 6, record 1, English, - frame%2Dbased%20CAI

Dans la taxinomie de Carbonell (1970), type d'EAO conventionnel axé sur des systèmes dont la base de données est composée de "cadres" ou "schémas" représentant des unités textuelles, de questions et des réponses préprogrammées, anticipées par un enseignant humain. L'EAO à cadres correspond, dans la taxinomie de Hartley et Sleeman (1973), aux systèmes EAO préstructurés. 1, record 1, French, - EAO%20%C3%A0%20cadres%20pr%C3%A9structur%C3%A9s

An information-processing or knowledge-communication system designed for educational purposes. One of the earliest taxonomies of such systems(Hartley and Sleeman 1973) distinguishes four classes : conventional CAI or prestructured systems(called AFO, ad hoc frame-oriented systems by Carbonell in 1970) ;generative systems programmed to generate simple tasks by piecing problems(intermediate between conventional and intelligent systems) ;adaptive systems(such as the INTEGRATION tutor, whose domain expertise can be modified or adapted to student needs and characteristics) ;and self-improving(evolutive, truly intelligent) systems able to improve their teaching strategies and refine their knowledge by evaluating their own performance(e. g. the QUADRATIC tutor) [According to source WAITS 1987] 4, record 2, English, - computer%2Dbased%20teaching%20system

In his landmark paper entitled "AI in CAI : an artificial-intelligence approach to computer-assisted instruction", Carbonell(1970b) defines the difference between what he calls frame-oriented CAI and the new paradigm he was then proposing under the name of information-structure-oriented CAI. The use of the word frame-oriented to describe the CAI systems then prevalent refers to the prestored instructional units, often called frames, in which CAI encodes lessons prepared by a human expert. These units contain small portions of the curriculum and are successively displayed on the screen for presentation and questions. Their exact sequence is determined by fixed branching decisions based on a predefined set of possible answers expected from the student. 1, record 3, English, - frame%2Doriented
