A Computational Framework for Representing Authors' Courseware Models.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
McIntyre, A. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 1993
Examines problems of existing courseware authoring systems and suggests the use of knowledge-based techniques. A prototype knowledge-based representation language called GTE (Generic Tutoring Environment) is described that could form the basis of a full authoring environment, including generic tasks and instructional methods, domain knowledge, and…

Dyadic Interactions at the Microcomputer Interface: A Case Study in Computer Assisted Learning.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Anderson, Anthony; O'Hagan, F. J. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 1989
Discusses a case study in which dyads of students and teachers using a microcomputer-based computer assisted learning (CAL) program are videotaped to analyze the interactions. Results from the dialogue analysis are related to learning outcomes and evaluating the educational efficacy of CAL software is discussed. (24 references) (LRW)
