A great deal of the discussion focuses on the use of reinforcement learning techniques, specifically the ?-greedy and temporal difference TD(0) methods in deriving tutoring policies over a class of students. Future works will deal on incremental learning and modification of learned policies while the tutor performs on-line in real-time, and extracting and learning the way expert tutors execute their tutoring activities.","PeriodicalId":206223,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Computers in Education, 2002.

There are many collaborative learning methods which also can be considered as group learning methods and popularly used in classroom-based environment. If they can be utilized into web-based environment, modeling and simulating work should be finished first. In this paper, the modeling method of the process of STAD (student teams-achievement divisions) was mainly introduced. One of our purposes for this study is to find a common approach, which can be used to simulate a small learning group based on different collaborative learning methods, on the other hand, the optimal solution is to model any small group learning method, but it is quite difficult to realize. Some experiences can be obtained and can be applied to model common group learning process from this study.","PeriodicalId":206223,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Computers in Education, 2002.

The assessor is an adaptive testing strategy elicited from a human expert. The assessor claims an accurate assessment of the student's domain knowledge with a minimum number of questions presented to the student. An evaluation of the assessor is carried out to test the claim. Three types of students are simulated-one who knows all the relevant skills in the subject domain, one who knows a subset of the relevant skills, and one who has one or more malrules. The performance of the assessor in predicting the mastery of skills of each student is analysed. Future work involves the evaluation of its accuracy in the assessment of other types of students, such as students with lucky guesses or careless slips.","PeriodicalId":206223,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Computers in Education, 2002.

It enables distant teaching or shared teaching and provides a learning portfolio for collaboration. It is applicable to several other types of artistic design education, such as fashion design or GUI design for software or the web.","PeriodicalId":206223,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Computers in Education, 2002.

In evaluating this system, we found out that users could experience and feel history as a reality. We contend that this system is effective in furthering the motivation of history learners, and we have an expectation that it can become a significant new educational media.","PeriodicalId":206223,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Computers in Education, 2002.

This is especially so in the field of finance in teaching students the intricacies of stock market trading. In this study, we leverage the power of Internet technology and design a fully functional Internet futures exchange. With respect to academic research, we provide an example of the use of our Internet futures exchange as a research platform to address the issue of market transparency and front runners. This, in itself is an important research question since market transparency level lies at the heart of controversial debates. Empirical data gathered from a controlled laboratory setting may help resolve the controversy. Previous laboratory studies addressing this issue use simplified representations of financial exchanges based on simulated securities whose values are chosen randomly form some predetermined distribution. For our study, we construct a fully functional futures exchange based on real underlying securities on the Internet and conduct our experiments on this exchange. Our obtained results should be more robust than those obtained from simplified financial exchanges used in previous studies. We also analyze the relation between market transparency and front runners. No previous research has been done analyzing this issue in detail. In our study, we make use of our constructed fully functional Internet futures exchange and gather empirical data under alternative exchange designs and varying levels of transparency and front-runner participation. The effect of varying levels of front runner participation on the bid-ask spread and on trading gains and losses can be tested for. Additionally, the effect of varying levels of front runner order quantity (order size) can be tested for.","PeriodicalId":206223,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Computers in Education, 2002.

As a consequence, the main focus of computer use in schools became, \"Do you have a laptop program?\" For some time the question of computer use in the curriculum became a question of whether every student had access to a computer. Many schools, however chose not have a laptop program. How were these schools going to incorporate computers across the curriculum ? This paper explores the experiences of Parade College which has attempted to develop and promote the integration of computers in the curriculum in the last 12 years. This has led to many failures and some success. Reflection on these experiences has resulted in an integrated approach to the provision of information communications technology in the curriculum.","PeriodicalId":206223,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Computers in Education, 2002.
