On the development of a cooperative tutoring environment on computer networks

Abstract

In developing a tutoring system, one of the most difficult tasks is to collect tutoring knowledge from multiple educators, especially courses in which the contents change frequently, due to the advent of new technologies. In this paper, we propose a webbased intelligent tutoring strategy construction system, which is able to elicit, analyze, and integrate tutoring knowledge from multiple educators systematically. Experiments on two courses have been performed to evaluate the time, completeness, and accuracy improvement in constructing tutoring knowledge bases with our approach. According to the experimental results, it can be inferred that for most cases, our approach achieves desirable performances.

A Data Mining Approach to Diagnosing Student Learning Problems in Sciences Courses

“…In recent years, many researchers have applied computer techniques to the development of computer-assisted tutoring systems (Hopper, 1992;Hwang, 1998Hwang, , 2002Sun & Chou, 1996;Wong et al, 1998;Yoshikawa et al, 2000). Owing to the growing popularity of computer-assisted instructions, computer-based testing has received an increasing amount of attention (Wainer, 1990).…”
