A Theory-Based Computer Tutorial Model.
Dixon, Robert C.; Clapp, Elizabeth J. – 1983
Because of the need for models to illustrate some possible answers to practical courseware development questions, a specific, three-section model incorporating the Corrective Feedback Paradigm (PCP) is advanced for applying theory to courseware. The model is reconstructed feature-by-feature against a framework of a hypothetical, one-to-one,…

Classifying Bugs Is a Tricky Business.
Johnson, W. Lewis; And Others – 1983
Argues that a computer-based programming tutor for novice programmers needs to take into account not only the types and frequency of bugs found in the programs, but the intentions and knowledge state of the programmer. A first version of such a program was developed on the basis of the bug types found in a number of pencil-and-paper studies with…
