Two Approaches for Providing Adaptive Support for Discussion in an Ill-Defined Domain
نویسندگان
چکیده
Intelligent tutoring systems have increased student learning in many domains with well-structured tasks such as math and science. As these successes may be applicable to ill-defined domains, is important to investigate how to apply tutoring paradigms for tasks that are ill-defined. We focus on the domain of intercultural competence, where asynchronous online discussion is a typical instructional task. We explore two methods of assessing student contributions and delivering feedback: an adaptive support system that provides individual feedback, and a peer moderator from the class supported by adaptive assistance. We report on our initial experience in two pilots of these systems, where we found promise that students may benefit from each approach.

Toward Supporting Collaborative Discussion in an Ill-Defined Domain
It is important to investigate what tutoring paradigms are appropriate for ill-defined domains. We focus on teaching intercultural competence, where asynchronous online discussion is a typical instructional task. We explore two methods of assessing student contributions and delivering feedback: an adaptive support system that provides individual feedback, and a peer moderator from the class sup...

متن کاملPoverty as a cause and consequence of Ill health
Background and aims: Poverty is a multidimensional phenomenon that can be defined in both economic and social terms. The paper attempts to review the existing evidence to understand the relation between poverty and ill health in the context of the limited conceptual and operational definitions of these terms. The paper uses two of Hills criteria- reversibility and dose response relationship to ...
متن کاملAn Adaptive Physics-Based Method for the Solution of One-Dimensional Wave Motion Problems
In this paper, an adaptive physics-based method is developed for solving wave motion problems in one dimension (i.e., wave propagation in strings, rods and beams). The solution of the problem includes two main parts. In the first part, after discretization of the domain, a physics-based method is developed considering the conservation of mass and the balance of momentum. In the second part, ada...
متن کاملAn Hybrid Expert Model to Support Tutoring Services in Robotic Arm Manipulations
To build an intelligent tutoring system, a key task is to define an expertise model that can support appropriate tutoring services. However, for some ill-defined domains, classical approaches for representing expertise do not work well. To address this issue, we illustrate in this paper a novel approach which is to combine several approaches into a hybrid model to support tutoring services in p...
