DIAL: Serendipitous DIAlectic Learning

چکیده
Killer applications, such as Excel and other ones, may be retrospectively considered as potential excellent Learning Environments in different specific domains and also in meta-cognitive skills even if there was no learning intention neither in the designer nor in the user. We present here a patented methodology for knowledge acquisition and construction widely and successfully used for five years, interpreted as a Learning Environment for its users engaged in domain-dependent interactions. We show how the (human) learning events may be recognised from mock-up interactions that aim to represent and correct fragments of knowledge. We finally relate our findings with ongoing and previous work in our teams and in the

متن کاملTeaching Case-Based Argumentation Concepts Using Dialectic Arguments vs. Didactic Explanations
We compared two automated approaches to teaching distinguishing, a fundamental skill of case-based reasoning that involves assessing the relevant differences among cases in a context-sensitive way. The approaches are implemented in two versions of CATO, an ITS designed to teach law students basic skills of casebased legal argument.

متن کاملDialectic Approach for Using Viewpoint Discrepancies in Learning
The paper proposes a dialectic approach to exploit discrepancies of viewpoints for learning. The approach is illustrated with an elaborated example. A computational framework of a pedagogical agent capable of interacting with a learner for discussing different viewpoints in the same domain is outlined. The framework employs AI technologies, such as argumentation for defeasible reasoning, situat...
متن کاملAwareness for Fostering Serendipitous Interaction in Public Intelligent Environments
This paper presents possibilities offered by public intelligent environment to foster learning through serendipitous interaction among uncoupled users. Four possible situations of how serendipitous interaction may occur and lead to learning activities are presented. In these situations capturing the right information, modeling it and providing awareness information back to the users plays a maj...
