DEF

[Practice] in which the [computer-based] tutor specifies the steps one at a time [while] the student executes them....

CONT

The system must be able to respond to the student, but it can also ask questions whose answers help it understand what the student is trying to do, or what he knows. In guided-discovery learning or coached activities, the student is in full control of the activity, and the only way the system can direct the course of action is by modifying the environment. This self-imposed unobtrusiveness makes the diagnostic process difficult, but the existence of an independent activity allows the coach to remain silent in case of doubt.

DEF

A tutoring system that provides unobtrusive assistance while the student is involved in independent learning. It does not lecture, but fosters the learning inherent in the activity, points out existing learning opportunities and transforms failures into learning experiences. It motivates learning and exercises pedagogical judgement.

CONT

A diagnostic tutor compares the student’s behavior with that of an expert for the problem domain involved. When discrepancies arise, the student is given advice about better learning or performance strategies. Diagnostic tutors are usually a more appropriate form of ICAI [intelligent computer-assisted instruction] for games, simulations, and problem-solving situations than a mixed-initiative tutor approach.

CONT

... WEST and WUSOR, two early projects concerned with the design of coaching systems.

OBS

Coaches are a variant of tutors which simply monitor a student’s problem-solving and so focus on a restricted part of the process of learning programming. Their job is to observe the way that a student tackles a problem and either comment when something seems to be going wrong, provide help when asked or ... try to constrain the student to set about the problem in a particular way.

OBS

Contrast with "mixed-initiative dialog" system and with "directive tutoring".

The use of an efficient Learning Management System, which permits interactive learning via the Internet or Intranet independent of time and place, and which allows the continual update of learning content without fuss, is an intelligent solution to this further education problem.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

In instance-to-class generalization, the system is given independent instances(examples) of some class of objects, and the goal is to induce a general description of the class. Most research done on learning from examples has concentrated on such instance-to-class generalization.

CONT

Une généralisation d'instance à classe correspond à des liens Instance de : une assertion généralisée concernant une classe est inférée à partir d'assertions concernant des instances spécifiques de cette classe.
