Matthews, Anne Bratach – CEA Forum, 2007
In the spring of 2007, more than 40 years after the advances made by the civil rights movement, and more than 50 years after the U.S. Supreme Court "Brown vs. Topeka Board of Education" decision, white radio talk-show host Don Imus taught us a lesson about racism--but it was not the lesson he thought he was teaching. His…

Ogan, Amy; Aleven, Vincent; Jones, Christopher – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2009
Most successes in intelligent tutoring systems have come in well-defined domains like algebra or physics. We investigate how to support students in acquiring ill-defined skills of intercultural competence using an online environment that employs clips of feature films from a target culture. To test the effectiveness of a set of attention-focusing…

Zhou, Gang – 1994
Research in the area of knowledge-based tutoring systems (KBTS) and intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) has great implications for computer applications in education and training. In a KBTS, course material is represented independently of teacher procedures, so that problems and remedial comments can be generated differently for each student. Such…
