1	Computer applications to special education Collins, Rob January 1989 (has links) This thesis investigates the way in which software for adults with severe learning difficulties should be designed. Literature from educational technology, the psychology of mental handicap and computer science is reviewed from the Author's viewpoint of software engineering. The literature review points to a need for the design of systems in this area to be a multidisciplinary activity. Four case studies in software development for adults with severe learning difficulties are described. These track the development of software systems from conception, through design and development to evaluation. The thesis then proceeds to show that technically adequate software is in itself not enough and that there is a need for staff support and staff development. Systems to implement these for staff working with adults who have severe learning difficulties are proposed and evaluated. The thesis concludes with specific design criteria and argues for a more holistic view of design within software development for social settings. 150 Computer aided learning

6	Developing a model for tutoring strategy selection in intelligent tutoring systems Tong, Amelia Ka Yan January 1997 (has links) Variation in tutoring strategy plays an important part in Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs). The potential for providing an adaptive ITS depends initially on having a range of tutoring strategies to select from. However, in order to react effectively to the student's needs, an ITS not only has to be able to simply offer different tutoring strategies but to choose intelligently among them and determine which one is best for an individual student at a particular moment. This thesis first examines, through literature review and interactions with existing systems, the current practices of ITSs regarding the provision of multiple tutoring strategies and tutoring strategy selection. What stems from this examination are the principles that underlie tutoring strategys election. These principles of tutoring strategy selection serve as a foundation for the construction of the model for tutoring strategy selection. To demonstrate the benefits of having such a model for formalising selection, the model is then implemented in ARISTOTLE, an existing ITS for tutoring zoology that includes several tutoring strategies but uses ad hoc mechanisms for choosing among them. This research is therefore contributing, through the principles of, and the model for tutoring strategy selection, a formal basis for selecting among tutoring strategies in ITSs that incorporate multiple tutoring strategies. 370 Computer aided learning
