How does AI&EdAIED today compare to 25 years ago? This paper addresses this evolution by identifying six trends. The trends are ongoing and will influence learning technologies going forward. First, the physicality of interactions and the physical space of the learner became genuine components of digital education. The frontier between the…

Knowledge of fundamentals of human-computer interaction resp. usability engineering is getting more and more important in technical domains. However this interdisciplinary field of work and corresponding degree programs are not broadly known. Therefore at the Hochschule Ruhr West, University of Applied Sciences, a program was developed to give…

We introduce an effective computer aided learning visual tool (CALVT) to teach graph-based applications. We present the robot motion planning problem as an example of such applications. The proposed tool can be used to simulate and/or further to implement practical systems in different areas of computer science such as graphics, computational…

Presents the rationale behind and description of the Individualized Instruction for Data Access (IIDA) system, which is intended to assist people in performing online bibliographic searches through the use of another computer as intermediary. (CWM)

Discusses rapid changes that have taken place in science over the last decade and its effects on computer science and instructional design. Topics include the idea of change; chaos; humanities and the arts; cultural literacy; paradigm shifts in education; networks of computers and humans; user-involved instructional design; and curriculum…

Case studies of professional software development practices describe how real (or realistic) projects are planned and executed. Cases provide engaging models of the activities and materials of software development to students and other novice practitioners. They vividly remind learners of the possibilities for meaningfully applying knowledge and…

An authoring system obviates the need for programing in the development of computer-assisted instructional materials. Options for a variety of educational strategies are preprogramed, allowing the developer to concentrate on curricular concerns rather than software considerations. (RJG)

Progress is described on a new approach to improve man-machine communication in order to significantly expand and diversify the capabilities of the computer interfaces that people use. The objective is to design computer processes that can assimilate particular aspects of dialogue between people, then transfer the processes into man-machine…

This book is developed from the proceedings of a symposium sponsored by the Office of Naval Research and the System Development Corporation. It presents a survey and a practical guide for formulating individual application requirements and forecasting future availability of data processing capabilities. Part I consists of seven articles covering…
