Johnson, Mark; Liber, Oleg – Interactive Learning Environments, 2008
We present the Personal Learning Environment (PLE) as a practical intervention concerning the organization of technology in education. We explain this by proposing a cybernetic model of the "Personal Learner" using Beer's Viable System Model (VSM). Using the VSM, we identify different regulatory mechanisms that maintain viability for learners, and…

Bunderson, C. Victor – 1975
The TICCIT command language is a synthesis between work in instructional psychology and cybernetics, and broadens the degrees of control available to students well beyond the capabilities of existing CAI systems. Student control commands manipulate important instructional variables and information is provided to guide the student's choice of…

Frick, Elizabeth – Research Strategies, 1989
Describes four major types of learning theories (behavioral, cognitive, cybernetic, and andragogical); examines pertinent literature for each; and traces links between the literature of learning theory and that of the design of online public access catalog instructional systems. (32 references) (Author/CLB)

Stolurow, Lawrence M. – 1968
Computer assisted instruction (CAI) can achieve its potential as a tool for individualizing instruction only if the flexible logic and memory capabilities of computers are utilized. An instructional program must be written in such a way that it can handle at least three variables: (a) who is being taught; (b) what is critical; and (c) how the…

Smith, Karl U.; Smith, Margaret Foltz – 1966
This book presents the cybernetic theory of learning and the evidence which supports it. Learning is more than the openloop forming of new stimulus-response associations--it is a process of reorganization of sensory feedback within a closed loop, or pattern, which increases the learner's level of control over his own behavior and the stimuli in…
