Builder, an Interactive Molecular Construction Utility-Structural Modeling using Virtual Reality on the Web. In our paper we show how virtual reality(VR) working over the World Wide Web could be used by chemists and biochemists as an extremely powerful tool in analysing data and disseminating information as well as an interactive learning tool. We present examples of how we are using VR to investigate and visualise otherwise complex data and provide tools that convert experimental data to VR scenes. 1, record 1, English, - structural%20modeling

À tout objet macromoléculaire (acide nucléique ou protéine) est désormais associé l'ensemble des relations que cet objet peut établir avec le milieu qui l'entoure. Ces relations sont conçues comme des reconnaissances entre distributions spatiales d'atomes. Par conséquent, la modélisation structurale de l'objet doit, en principe, fournir l'explication première de ses relations fonctionnelles potentielles et, mieux encore, permettre de prédire ces relations. 1, record 1, French, - mod%C3%A9lisation%20structurale

Winston stressed the idea of "near-miss" examples, i.e. ones which did not differ too much from the structured representation at that time - otherwise the program would be overwhelmed by all the mismatches, and be unable to work out how to modify its understanding of the concept. 7, record 2, English, - near%20miss

Une idée cruciale est le «presque exemple» («near-miss») : si, en effet, une situation radicalement différente des autres est soudain présentée, il n'y a rien à dire : si au contraire une situation presque semblable est soumise, le système va s'intéresser aux différences avec le modèle interne et marquer celles-ci, apprenant, petit à petit, les caractéristiques essentielles et secondaires du concept. 1, record 2, French, - presque%20exemple

The overlay theory defines multiple sources of evidence available to the diagnostic module for its update of the overlay model :Structural evidence is retrieved from a syllabus in the form of a network of dependencies and relative complexities among the skills, along the lines of BIP's Curriculum Information Network. This network provides the notion of a frontier of the student's knowledge, where teaching should concentrate. Since it is where learning is likely to occur, variations taking place far from the frontier should be treated with caution. 1, record 3, English, - structural%20evidence

Repetition. The learner merely repeats the input; input and output are identical. Though this may play an incidental part in other types of drill, it does not seem very useful as a drill technique by itself for drilling grammatical structure. 1, record 6, English, - repetition%20drill

Structural drills. Imitation. This type of drill-repetition of a model provided by the teacher-is employed primarily at the very beginning stages of language learning. It is often used in teaching grammar but is also effective for practising pronunciation, including the prosodic features of language(stress, intonation, and rhythm). 1, record 6, English, - repetition%20drill

Après l'écoute pure, les exercices de répétition constituent la première phase de l'apprentissage des éléments phonétiques, lexicaux et grammaticaux. L'élève cherche alors à reproduire aussi exactement que possible le modèle qui lui est présenté, et compare immédiatement son enregistrement à celui de la voix du maître. 1, record 6, French, - exercice%20de%20r%C3%A9p%C3%A9tition
