Williams National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Objective: At the end of this workshop tutorial, the teachers will be able to guide their students to create their own multimedia presentations. This includes having the necessary technical and software skills, as well as the process skills in planning and organising a presentation. Participants: This workshop is intended for teachers who have a basic exposure to multimedia, and wish to develop their skills in order to help their students develop multimedia projects. Prerequisite knowledge includes basic computer skills in either a Macintosh (preferred) or Windows environment, and some familiarity with multimedia concepts. Abstract: In many curricular areas it is quite common for students to be expected to produce some type of project or report to accompany the regular classroom teaching. With the increasing popularisation of multimedia software, a new and different type of final integrative project is possible for students to produce: a multimedia presentation. With this type of project students are expected to demonstrate that they have explored a complex topic by communicating their findings to an audience, assembling a variety of images (both still and motion), sounds, as well as text as part of their "report." For example, perhaps a student (or group of students) have been doing a research project on the topic of AIDS. For their final project, students might produce a 15- or 20-minute multimedia presentation which includes text and graphs, photo images, audio narration and interviews, and perhaps even video clips from the nightly news. The extended types of data allows students a rich and creative source of communicative tools from which to fashion their summary theses. The current workshop will provide teachers with information and guidance in both areas of student-created multimedia projects: 1) using the software, and 2) helping students plan their projects. Basic skills in operating the software will be covered, including how to handle various forms of multimedia data types. Additionally, guidelines will be provided to assist teachers in helping students to plan and organise their projects, including data gathering, data organisation, creating a storyboard or prototype, specifying an audience, and so on. Enrollment Limit: 15 people T2: The Evolution of Instructional Planning ------------------------------------------- Gordon I. McCalla University of Saskatchewan, Canada Abstract: Ideally, systems to support human learning should have a role to play in helping learners to choose their next learning activity. In traditional computer assisted instruction systems, this role was dominant; that is, the system controlled the interaction with the learner, choosing the instructional activity and judging when, or even if, the learner was allowed to move on to new activities. With the advent of intelligent tutoring systems, however, it became desirable to provide more learner control to the making of this choice. Techniques had to be found that allowed the learner more freedom and gave the system the ability to act as a coach and advisor, rather than an all-knowing controller of the learner's destiny. It was from this desire for more flexible control that the notion of instructional planning was born. In this tutorial, the evolution of instructional planning will be traced from the days when systems were built on top of a rigid course graph and learners were marched through the graph at the discretion of the system, through to today's flexible plan-based systems that are adaptable to the changing needs of the individual learner. Particular systems will be presented as interesting landmarks in the evolution of instructional planning, to illustrate the move to individualized, flexible systems that support, rather than control, learning. The tutorial will show that instructional planning can be used more widely than just in so-called intelligent tutoring systems, that, in fact, any environment to support learning can be enhanced through the use of these techniques. The tutorial will also show how these techniques may provide some promise for the construction of a shell to support the construction of intelligent, individualized learning environments. ------------------------------------------------------- AFTERNOON TUTORIALS--TUESDAY, DEC. 5 -- 2:00 PM-5:00 PM ------------------------------------------------------- T3: Semantic Networking: A Cognitive Tool for Analyzing Content, Acquiring Knowledge, and Evaluating Learning ---------------------------------------------------------------- David H. Jonassen Pennsylvania State University, USA Abstract: Semantic networking tools represent a new class of computer-supported tool that engages users in integration and elaboration of knowledge. Programs such as SemNet (Fisher, 1990), Learning Tool (Kozma, 1987), CMap (Novak), Inspiration, Pathfinder Nets, and TextVision (Kommers, 1989) are powerful thinking tools that provide visual and verbal screen tools to support the development of cognitive maps. Cognitive maps are spatial representations of semantic networks_the ideas and their interrelationships that are stored in memory. Mind mapping programs facilitate the acquisition and evaluation of structural knowledge (Jonassen, Beissner, & Yacci, 1993), based on semantic network theory, schema theory, cognitive structure, and conversation theory. Applications: In the workshop, you will learn how to use mind mapping tools for: - fostering cognitive learning strategies - assessing cognitive structures of learners - evaluating prior knowledge of learners - assessing misconceptions in learners - assessing learning from hypermedia/multimedia - performing content and task analysis - modeling content in hypermedia knowledge bases - rapid prototyping of instructional materials - developing instructional strategies, such as graphic organizers Activities: In this workshop, learners will develop cognitive maps using different semantic networking software on Macintosh computers. You will also use these tools for assessing learning and knowledge structures, conducting content analysis for structuring hypermedia knowledge bases and then converting your mind maps automatically into hypermedia prototypes. We will discuss and demonstrate a number of other applications of mind maps. Learners will work on Macintoshes. Enrollment Limit: 30 people T4: Social Learning Systems --------------------------- Tak-Wai Chan Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering, National Central University, Taiwan Abstract: If most knowledge can be regarded as a common consensus of a community, then learning should naturally take place in a socio-cultural environment. Furthermore, if social context is a catalyst of knowledge cultivation and motivation, then this element of learning should be emphasized in most computer-assisted learning systems. Social learning systems are emerging learning environments that involve multiple agents, working at the same computer or across connected machines. These agents are either computer simulated or real human beings, taking various roles via different protocols of learning activity, such as cooperation, competition, peer tutoring, and so on. As alternatives to traditional one-to-one tutoring, these systems are sometimes called or closely related to collaborative, distributed, or distance learning systems. This tutorial will provide a historical treatment and the theoretical basis of these emerging technology supported learning environments, then take a glance at their infrastructure. After that, we introduce various social learning systems and discuss some of these systems in detail. Following that we give a framework to classify and, finally, discuss the design issues of social learning systems. ------------------- CONCURRENT SESSIONS ------------------- ICCE 95 concurrent sessions will include invited speakers, papers, and panels. Panel and invited speaker sessions will be interspersed throughout the conference program. In addition, poster sessions will be held all day every day on each of the three main conference days.
