Intelligent Hypertutoring: A New Methodology for Undergraduate Engineering Laboratory Instruction

该项目正在开发一个高度激励的、以计算机为中心的学习环境，该环境基于智能辅导方法、定性模拟和智能超文本的结合。这种方法的组合被称为智能超辅导。该系统将具有逼真的模拟、个性化指导、指导、解释、类比提示和推理，以及语义网络中可检查的超文本知识组织。使用的基本方法植根于人工智能。一个基本组成部分是对工程知识分类法的研究，其目标是理解跨越工程广度的知识表示形式。受资助机构为该奖项贡献了大约一半的资金。

This project is developing a highly motivating, computer-centered learning environment based on a combination of intelligent tutoring methodologies, qualitative simulation and intelligent hypertext. This combination of methodologies is termed Intelligent Hypertutoring. The systems will feature realistic simulation, individualized instruction, coaching, explanation, analogical prompting and reasoning, and a inspectable hypertext organization of knowledge in semantic networks. Fundamental methodologies used are rooted in artificial intelligence. One basic component is the study of engineering knowledge taxonomies with the goal of understanding knowledge representation formalisms that extend across the breadth of engineering. The grantee institution is contributing approximately half the funds to this award.
