(A term which is similar in concept to, but in no way associated with the Virtual Classroom Project, a registered trademark of the New Jersey Institute of Technology (Hiltz 1990).) One such network, the Apple Global Education network (AGE), † links over one hundred classes from over 20 countries. This network was evaluated with respect to its role in facilitating cross-cultural communication activities. † Developed by Apple Computer Inc., Cupertino, CA, USA. The nature of communication on the network is described by classifying transmissions sent during a major international crisis: the Gulf War. A taxonomy is proposed containing four levels of network function: audience, diffuser, repository and facilitator. Following the evaluation of the AGE network, recommendations are given to educators regarding network activities in relation to the age and experience of the learner.","PeriodicalId":334979,"journal":{"name":"Intell.

The tutoring system was developed initially on a Xerox 1109 using an object-oriented programming language and provides an environment for discovering principles of ground tracks as a direct function of the orbital elements. The knowledge for this discovery environment is coded using a qualitative model of how different shape descriptors can be used to characterize orbit types. This paper looks at some of the practical design and implementation issues associated with causal reasoning systems as embodied in intelligent tutoring systems. It also reports on the results of a study comparing experienced and beginning students' interactions with the intelligent tutoring system.","PeriodicalId":334979,"journal":{"name":"Intell.
