Abstract

Traditional NIE (Newspaper in Education), which is the study of how to utilize any educational resources in the newspaper in the classroom, has been studied for a long time. However, it has a one-way interaction characteristic and available media are limited. In addition, it has difficulty capturing the latest "hot" issues or recognizing any public opinions. In this paper, we propose a platform called TNIE (Twitter News in Education) that utilizes Twitter news in education. TNIE has many advantages compared to traditional NIE: (i) it provides a classification of the latest news on various topics to the learners, (ii) classified news content can be browsed effectively via a hierarchical visualization scheme, and (iii) effective discussion or debate groups can be easily made from the learners based on their selection of the news. To evaluate the performance of our scheme, we implemented a prototype system and performed several experiments. We also had volunteers use our prototype system and evaluate its main functions. We report some of these evaluation results.

Twitter新闻教育合作学习平台

传统的NIE (Newspaper in Education)研究的是如何在课堂上利用报纸中的任何教育资源，已经研究了很长时间。然而，它具有单向交互的特点，可用的介质有限。此外，它很难捕捉到最新的“热点”问题，也很难识别任何民意。在本文中，我们提出了一个利用Twitter新闻进行教育的平台TNIE (Twitter News In Education)。与传统的NIE相比，TNIE有很多优点:(i)它为学习者提供了各种主题的最新新闻分类，(ii)分类的新闻内容可以通过分层可视化方案有效地浏览，(iii)学习者可以根据他们对新闻的选择轻松地进行有效的讨论或辩论组。为了评估我们的方案的性能，我们实现了一个原型系统并进行了一些实验。我们还让志愿者使用我们的原型系统并评估其主要功能。我们报告其中一些评估结果。
