Apprenticeship instruction through adaptive human-computer interaction

Abstract

Discusses an approach and issues regarding the use of intelligent adaptive user interfaces, coupled with hypermedia, to provide supportive learning situations for users within an instructional paradigm of cognitive apprenticeship. Existing models of user interaction are examined and extended with a supportive learning model of user interaction. The paper addresses learning opportunities provided by implementing this model of interaction using intelligent computer-human interaction, as well as identifies issues which are yet to be resolved in providing supportive learning situations within the apprenticeship learning paradigm.<>
