SGER: Affinity Learning Authoring Tools

国家教育信息技术中心（NCITE）通过CCLI概念验证赠款开发了亲和学习系统。 他们报告说，它已被证明是一个非常有效的教育研究工具，提供了深入了解学生的学习策略和误解。 为了加强这一能力，它们需要资金来大大加强和修改方案拟订工作。 这一努力将揭示这些工具是否能够得到充分实施，以及它是否将有助于研究，为教育工作者提供信息并改善在线教育。 该项目的目标是设计和试点测试的创作界面，提供了一个图形表示的教训组件，并允许抽象或信息隐藏，以减轻在亲和学习设计过程中固有的复杂性;并克服内在的挑战，通过调查新的概念方法，如基于分解的学生误解的识别教训分解。 该补助金允许PI克服技术障碍，一旦完成，将允许教育环境和研究协议的发展。 这个机会现在就存在，必须在进一步发展之前完成。

The National Center for Information Technology in Education (NCITE) has developed the Affinity Learning System through a CCLI proof-of-concept grant. They report that it has proven to be a very effective educational research tool that has provided insight into student learning strategies and misconceptions. In order to build on this capability they need funding to substantially enhance and modify the programming. Such an effort will reveal if the tools can be fully implemented and if it will then serve to benefit research, inform educators and improve online education. The project objectives are to design and pilot-test an authoring interface that provides a graphical representation of lesson components and allows abstraction or information hiding to mitigate the complexity inherent in the Affinity Learning design process; and to overcome intrinsic challenges in lesson decomposition by investigating new conceptual approaches such as basing decomposition on the identification of student misconceptions. This grant allows the PIs to overcome technical barriers that, once accomplished, will allow development of education environments and research protocols to proceed. This opportunity exists now and must be completed before further development is possible.
