Intelligent Instruction Computer: Theory And Practice

Records the potential for computers to be put into instructional roles in school, the workplace and high technology research facilities. It offers teachers and trainers a vision of how their professions will be fundamentally altered by these new systems and how their roles could change.

Introduction. Part 1 Theoretical approaches: apprenti ceship training in the workplace - computer-coached practice environment as a new form of apprenticeship; automated tutoring in interactive environments - a task- centred approach. Part 2 Tools and environments: two approaches to simulation composition for training. Part 3 Implementations and evaluations: semantically constrained exploration and heuristic guidance; transfer, adaptation and use of intelligent tutoring technology - the case of Grace. Part 4 Implications for future research and development.
