Collaborative Research on Learning Technologies: A Center for Intelligent Multimedia Instructional Systems

马萨诸塞大学阿默斯特分校获得了5万美元的资助，计划建立一个为期12个月的智能多媒体辅导系统中心（IMTS），用于高等教育中的科学、数学、工程和技术教育以及终身学习。信息技术管理系统将可视化和动画的力量与智能导师的学生建模能力相结合，以产生交互式学习环境，对传达复杂的动态过程非常有效。该中心计划将包括对许多现有信息技术管理系统的研究，包括马萨诸塞大学开发的一些系统。这项特别的工作，结合大学承诺开发的新系统，既提供了IMTS开发的积累经验，也提供了将其中许多进行实验室分析的机会，这将为其有效性提供新的教育见解。

9616436 Woolf, Beverly Park University of Massachusetts, Amherst CISE/EHR/ENG/MPS Collaborative Research On Learning Technologies Program: A Center for Intelligent Multimedia Instructional Systems The University of Massachusetts, Amherst has been awarded funding in the amount of $50,000 for 12 months to plan a Center for Intelligent, Multimedia Tutoring Systems (IMTS) for science, mathematics, engineering and technology education in higher education and for life-long learning. ITMSs combine the power of visualization and animation with the student modeling capabilities of intelligent tutors to produce interactive learning environments that are highly effective for conveying complex, dynamic processes. The Center plan will incorporate studies of many existing ITMSs, including a number of systems developed at the University of Massachusetts. This particular corpus of work, combined with new systems that the University has pledged to develop, provides both an accumulated body of experience in IMTS development and an opportunity to submit many of them to the kind of laboratory analysis that will offer new educational insights into their effectiveness.
