SGER: A Mentoring GUI

该项目将创建、测试和部署一个用户界面，该界面可以通过提供指导、听取建议和学习，灵活地帮助用户学习内容和应用程序。这个新的用户界面将通过大大增强框架创作的过程来创建：制作允许最终用户制作内容的项目和应用程序，例如，老师为孩子制作学习项目，然后孩子将通过制作一个想法的模型来学习，或者为成年人制作一种新的模拟框架，他们需要帮助学习如何进行模拟。内容和应用程序不仅提供功能，而且还能够教最终用户如何学习和使用新框架，并且能够自己了解用户的风格和动机，以创建最佳的学习和实践环境。该奖项支持初步的探索性研究，将产生脚手架和简单的原型，并为拟议的长期项目提供重要的初步数据。

This project will create, test and deploy a user interface that can flexibly help its users learn content and applications by providing guidance, taking advice, and learning. This new user interface will be created by greatly enhancing the process of framework authoring: the making of projects and applications that allow end-users to make content, e.g. a teacher making a learning project for a child, who will then learn by making a model of an idea, or a new kind of simulation framework for adults, who will need to be helped to learn how to make simulations.The content and applications will not just provide functionality, but also be able to teach the end-users how to learn and use the new framework, and be able to itself learn about the user's styles and motivations to create the best learning-and-doing environment.This award supports preliminary exploratory research that will result in scaffolding and a simple prototype, and important preliminary data for a proposed longer-term project.
