It has occupied a prominent position in many classrooms around the world. In Malaysia, the microcomputer has equally attracted the attention of policy-makers and educators alike. However, its position is still being carved in Malaysian schools compared to schools in many other countries. The Ministry of Education has piloted a few computer projects in Malaysian schools. It also encourages secondary schools to establish computer clubs. Soon, the ministry will be launching Internet use in secondary schools. The Prime Minister has also announced that a computer subject must be taught in all schools. As testimony to the keen interest in computer use in schools in Malaysia, a group of people comprised of school teachers, college and university lecturers and people from the private sector established the Malaysian Council for Computers-in Education (MCCE). MCCE's primary objective is to help promote computer use in teaching and learning. How exactly have computers been promoted in Malaysian schools? This talk will attempt to look at the country's past and present computer-in-education and some of the future attempts to place computers in the schools. About the Speaker: Zoraini Wati Abas is an associate professor at the Faculty of Education, University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. She teaches educational computing and technology courses. She has developed computer courses for Mara Junior Science College and helped formulate UNESCO's informatics curriculum. She is also the Chairperson of the Malaysian Council for Computers-in-Education (MCCE). Cognitive Tutors: Theory and Reality ------------------------------------ JOHN ROBERT ANDERSON Carnegie Mellon University, USA Abstract: We will describe the factors which account for the success of our cognitive tutors in promoting learning and the factors which determine the success of these tutors in American schools. We will define the concept of a "useful learning episode" and explain how our tutors promote the frequency of such episodes by carefully monitoring the state of a student's thinking and learning. We will describe the problems created by the "cognitive principles" approach for both producticizing and marketing the tutors. Finally, we will describe the complexities created by reform efforts in American mathematics education. About the speaker: John Anderson received his B.A. from the University of British Columbia in 1968 and his Ph.D. from Stanford University in 1972. He has been at Carnegie Mellon University since 1978 where he is a professor of psychology and computer science. He has published a number of books including Human Associative Memory (1973 with Gordon Bower), Language, Memory, and Thought (1976), The Architecture of Cognition (1983), The Adaptive Character of Thought (1990), and Rules of the Mind (1993). His current research is involved with two enterprises. The first is the study of the acquisition of cognitive skills. Much of this research involves the development of intelligent tutoring systems for mathematics and computer programming. Here research goals include producing a general system for modeling and testing cognitive skills, having a major impact on the effectiveness with which these skills are taught, and understanding the transfer of skills among domains. The second enterprise is to understand if and how human cognition is adapted to the information processing demands of the environment. As part of this effort he has developed the ACT-R production system and applied to various domains of memory, problem solving, and visual information processing. Statutory Information Technology and the Response of UK Schools --------------------------------------------------------------- JOHN GARDNER Queen's University of Belfast, U.K. Abstract: This paper sets out the experiences of schools in the UK in the light of statutory information technology (IT) requirements in the national curriculum. In essence these requirements are designed to address several educational goals for school students including: that they are able to work competently and effectively with a range of IT tools; that they become autonomous users of IT to communicate and handle information, to support their problem solving and creative work; and that they reflect critically on their own and others' use of IT. The validity of these requirements is examined and their resource implications are discussed with reference to recent government-sponsored resourcing and curriculum development initiatives. The impact and implications of the curriculum demands are also examined from the point of view of the teachers and their IT competence and attitudes. The extent of schools' readiness to deliver the IT objectives is assessed and the successes are recorded. Drawing on the most recent literature from the UK, Europe and the US, the barriers to progress, which continue to exist, are then analysed. These barriers fall into two broad categories: those associated with the teachers (e.g., time for access, familiarity, competence development, etc.); and those associated with hardware and software (e.g .,appropriateness, availability, etc.). The paper concludes with suggestions for strategies to overcome the barriers identified. About the speaker: John Gardner is a reader in education and Director of the School of Education, the Queen's University of Belfast. For the last 15 years he has conducted research in the field of information technology in education, specializing in evaluative research. His current activities include R & D work and evaluation under the Teaching and Learning Technology Programme. He is also evaluating the impact of computerised integrated learning systems on underachievers in schools. In 1992 he completed a major policy evaluation on the use of portable computers in schools. In all these studies he has employed qualitative and quantitative research methods as appropriate. Network-Based Multimedia Environments for Collaborative Learning in Science ------------------------------------- LOUIS M. GOMEZ School of Education & Public Policy, Northwestern Univ., USA Abstract: The next decade brings widespread, networked, multimedia interpersonal collaborative computing. Data collection, exploration, analysis and collaborative work is being transformed throughout science by new flexible data visualization tools. A question-centered and collaboration-focused pedagogy is supplanting more traditional lecture and demonstration-centered K-12 instruction. We find that extending media-rich and highly interactive learning and teaching activities beyond single classrooms establishes demanding development requirements for high-performance computing and communications (HPCC). To create "distributed multimedia learning environments" to serve the needs of precollege science education, we have developed novel HPCC technologies in the Learning Through Collaborative Visualization (CoVis) Project. These developments involve the scaleable solution of a wide-area broadband testbed network using public-switched ISDN services that integrate desktop videoconferencing and screen sharing, educationally-appropriate scientific visualization tools in the geosciences, newly-developed structured hypermedia workgroup softward, and standard Internet communication tools. These services support synchronous and asynchronous collaboration with media-rich data sharing (e.g., complex images, large data sets) among hundreds of high school students within and across schools, who also use the network for mentoring communications with university researchers and other scientific experts. In the next several years, we will be scaling the CoVis testbed to included over 50 schools and thousands of students. About the Speaker: Louis M. Gomez is Associate Professor of Learning Sciences and Computer Science and co-director of the Learning Through Collaborative Visualization (CoVis) Project at Northwestern University. The CoVis project focuses on bringing next-generation computing and communication technologies along with open-ended scientific inquiry to high school classrooms. Prior to joining the faculty at Northwestern, Mr. Gomez was director of Human-Computer Systems Research at Bellcore in Morristown, New Jersey. Over the last several years Mr. Gomez has pursued an active research program investigating techniques that improve human use of information retrieval systems, techniques which aid in the acquisition of complex computer-based skills, and the application of networked compute technology to teaching and learning. Mr. Gomez received a B.A. in Psychology from the State University of New York at Stony Brook and a Ph.D. in Cognitive Psychology from the University of California at Berkeley. Learning with Information and Communication Technologies: A Secondary School's Experience --------------------------------------------------------- CARMEE LIM and GINNY LEONG Raffles Girls Secondary School, Singapore Abstract: This talk is a sharing of a secondary schools experience in planning and implementing an information technology programme for its students. The following will be discussed in the talk: - The school's vision and mission - The conceptualisation of the school IT Vision: to create a new learning environment for an information society - The 4-pronged approach of its mission - The objectives and strategies of the IT programmes for students - An overview of the various components of its IT programme - And how information and communication technologies had been used: to enhance and enrich learning; to better prepare the students to meet new challenges in the information society; to develop and disseminate Internet materials, improve access to information; to acquire and integrate information and knowledge; to gain experience with communicating and learning with children from other countries; for collaborative efforts between teachers and students in dev-eloping multimedia learning packages and real life projects; to organize and present information (Managing Real Life Databases); and for image processing and graphics design (Creativity and Expression skills) This talk will include demonstrations of students' projects, feedback on the experience gained from the progamme implementation and new prospect for learning beyond the traditional framework. About the Speakers: Carmee Lim has taught science and mathematics at both secondary and pre-university levels in Singapore. She was placed on the "1993 Honor Roll of Teachers" by the Association of Science-Technology Centers, USA for her contribution to Science Education in Singapore. As Principal of Raffles Girls' School, the premier girls' school in Singapore, her information technology (IT) vision of the school is to "Create a New Learning Environment for an Information Society". For the past two years, the school's mission has been to work towards promoting the effective use of technology to improve the quality of teaching and learning. Ginny Leong is the Head of Department for Information Technology, Raffles Girls' School. Before that, she was the Head of Department for Humanities in Seletar Institute and the Project Director for Computer-based Learning in the Curriculum Development Institute of Singapore. She has taught mathematics, science and literature at the secondary level and economics at the pre-university level in Singapore. Digital Libraries as Learning and Teaching Support -------------------------------------------------- HERMANN MAURER Graz University of Technology, Austria Abstract: In this talk we will show how digital libraries can be used to dramatically enhance learning and teaching. Much of the ideas and work to be reported on stems from a project of the European Commission entitled LIBERATION, an acronym standing for: LIBraries:Electronic Remote Access To Information Over Networks. We will show that it is crucial to use hypermedia systems for digital libraries that have a very flexible link concept , a solid structural paradigm, certain data-base facilities and suitable charging mechanisms. Only in this way is it possible to define scopes of interest and to allow customisation of material without violating copyright laws. We will also discuss how shortcomings of current wide area networks such as Internet can be overcome in an elegant fashion. The model to be described is currently being implemented; large segments have already been tested successfully and first experiences have been gathered. One of the key findings is that one can generate material for digital libraries without having to invest special efforts if the process is combined with suitable CD productions. About the speaker: Dr. Hermann Maurer holds a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Vienna, 1965. Assistant and Associate Professor for Computer Science at the University of Calgary, 1966-1971.

Knowledge Connection Corporation: Collaborative Canadian Initiative in Distance Learnware ------------------------------------------------------- JAMES R. ROSSITER Knowledge Connection Corporation, Canada Abstract: Knowledge Connection Corporation is a collaboration amongst a number of leading Canadian telecommunications, information technology, and learnware developer firms, as well as educators and trainers. It was formed in early 1995, with seed funding provided by the Province of Ontario, Canada. Distance Learnware is defined as structured knowledge that can be delivered electronically. The Corporation's activities fall into the following areas: - formative evaluations of Distance Learnware through alpha and beta trials - collection and dissemination of information on Distance Learnware, including market studies and "how-to" manuals - investment in tools for more effective development and/or delivery of Distance Learnware. Initial projects in all these areas are underway. A report summarizing innovative projects in technology and learning in Ontario has been published, and will be available on the World Wide Web. A manual for educators and trainers on interactive multimedia teaching will be published in CD-ROM format in early 1996. Descriptions of key activities in the field of Distance Learning in Canada will be described. About the Speaker: James Rossiter is a scientist, entrepreneur, and educator. He has recently been appointed Executive Director of Knowledge Connection Corporation, a new collaborative initiative to support enhanced quality and efficiency in the production and delivery of Distance Learnware. While a graduate student, Dr. Rossiter spent a year and a half at NASA-Houston, as part of a team designing a geophysical experiment sent to the Moon on Apollo 17. After completing his doctorate in Geophysics at the University of Toronto, he spent four years at the Centre for Cold Ocean Resources Engineering in Newfoundland, where he led a group of scientists and engineers developing ice hazard detection systems. He is internationally recognized for developing a practical method of measuring sea-ice thickness from a helicopter. In 1983, Dr. Rossiter founded Canpolar Inc., a research and consulting company which has developed technologies as varied as novel fish processing equipment and a ground penetrating radar system to inspect roads non-destructively. These innovations are now being commercialized internationally through spin-off firms in St. John's and Edmonton. The Ebb and Flow of Student Modeling ------------------------------------ JOHN SELF University of Lancaster, England Abstract: Student modelling is the process whereby a computer-based learning system develops and maintains an understanding of the student using the system. At one time, the student model was considered to be the key component in providing individualized instruction, and a number of useful techniques were developed. Then, as the intrinsic difficulty of the student modelling task became apparent and as philosophies moved towards more constructivist approaches than those perceived to be implicit in systems based on student models, student modelling was largely abandoned. In this talk, it will be argued that the tide is turning again. Developers of multimedia learning environments are increasingly realising that presentation needs to be adapted to the individual learner. Systems based on the new social theories of learning need student models represented using multi-agent techniques from artificial intelligence. And the increased precision and formalisation of student modelling techniques provides the prospect of general-purpose student modelling shells. The talk will review these recent developments. About the Speaker: John Self is a Reader in Computing at the University of Lancaster, England, previous chairman of the Artificial Intelligence in Education Society (AACE), and editor of the "Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education." He received his B.A. degree from the University of Cambridge and his Ph.D. degree from the University of Leeds. His research interests lie in the development of general design principles for intelligent learning environments and specifically in the topic of student modelling. He co-authored (with Tim O'Shea) the book "Learning and Teaching with Computers: Artificial Intelligence in Education" and edited the book "Artificial Intelligence and Human Learning". ------------------------------------------------------ MORNING TUTORIALS--TUESDAY, DEC. 5 -- 9:30 AM-12:30 PM ------------------------------------------------------ T1: Student-Created Multimedia: Guidelines and Techniques for Teachers -------------------------------------- Michael D. Williams National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Objective: At the end of this workshop tutorial, the teachers will be able to guide their students to create their own multimedia presentations. This includes having the necessary technical and software skills, as well as the process skills in planning and organising a presentation. Participants: This workshop is intended for teachers who have a basic exposure to multimedia, and wish to develop their skills in order to help their students develop multimedia projects. Prerequisite knowledge includes basic computer skills in either a Macintosh (preferred) or Windows environment, and some familiarity with multimedia concepts. Abstract: In many curricular areas it is quite common for students to be expected to produce some type of project or report to accompany the regular classroom teaching. With the increasing popularisation of multimedia software, a new and different type of final integrative project is possible for students to produce: a multimedia presentation. With this type of project students are expected to demonstrate that they have explored a complex topic by communicating their findings to an audience, assembling a variety of images (both still and motion), sounds, as well as text as part of their "report." For example, perhaps a student (or group of students) have been doing a research project on the topic of AIDS. For their final project, students might produce a 15- or 20-minute multimedia presentation which includes text and graphs, photo images, audio narration and interviews, and perhaps even video clips from the nightly news. The extended types of data allows students a rich and creative source of communicative tools from which to fashion their summary theses. The current workshop will provide teachers with information and guidance in both areas of student-created multimedia projects: 1) using the software, and 2) helping students plan their projects. Basic skills in operating the software will be covered, including how to handle various forms of multimedia data types. Additionally, guidelines will be provided to assist teachers in helping students to plan and organise their projects, including data gathering, data organisation, creating a storyboard or prototype, specifying an audience, and so on. About the instructor: Dr. Michael D. Williams will be conducting the workshop. He is a lecturer in educational technology in the National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. He received his Ph.D. in Instructional Systems at the University of Minnesota, USA, and has taught instructional design and computer-based instruction at San Diego State University, the University of Minnesota, and St. Thomas University, as well. He has published several articles in the area of learner-control in relation to computer-based instructional designs. Current research interests focus on investigating the cross-cultural elements impacting the use and effectiveness of computer-based instructional technologies in schools. Enrollment Limit: 15 people T2: The Evolution of Instructional Planning ------------------------------------------- Gordon I. McCalla University of Saskatchewan, Canada Abstract: Ideally, systems to support human learning should have a role to play in helping learners to choose their next learning activity. In traditional computer assisted instruction systems, this role was dominant; that is, the system controlled the interaction with the learner, choosing the instructional activity and judging when, or even if, the learner was allowed to move on to new activities. With the advent of intelligent tutoring systems, however, it became desirable to provide more learner control to the making of this choice. Techniques had to be found that allowed the learner more freedom and gave the system the ability to act as a coach and advisor, rather than an all-knowing controller of the learner's destiny. It was from this desire for more flexible control that the notion of instructional planning was born. In this tutorial, the evolution of instructional planning will be traced from the days when systems were built on top of a rigid course graph and learners were marched through the graph at the discretion of the system, through to today's flexible plan-based systems that are adaptable to the changing needs of the individual learner. Particular systems will be presented as interesting landmarks in the evolution of instructional planning, to illustrate the move to individualized, flexible systems that support, rather than control, learning. The tutorial will show that instructional planning can be used more widely than just in so-called intelligent tutoring systems, that, in fact, any environment to support learning can be enhanced through the use of these techniques. The tutorial will also show how these techniques may provide some promise for the construction of a shell to support the construction of intelligent, individualized learning environments. About the instructor: Gordon McCalla is Professor and Head in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, Canada. He is also a member of the Laboratory for Advanced Research in Intelligent Educational Systems (ARIES). His research spans a variety of artificial intelligence research issues, as focused through investigations into systems that support human learning. His specific interests lie in the areas of dynamic instructional planning, tutorial dialogue, and learner modelling. He has worked on instructional planning architectures, adaptive approaches to individualized curriculum, innovative pedagogical models for intelligent tutoring, immersion-based second language learning, granularity-based and case-based cognitive diagnosis, belief revision, reasoning with stereotypes, qualitative student modelling, and supporting learning at the mental model level. Application systems have been built to support aspects of the learning of programming languages (LISP and PL/C), simple device operation, chess end games, English as a second language (travel vocabulary, article usage), and large-scale software engineering tools. Gordon McCalla is program co-chair for ICCE 95 and is currently President-Elect of the Society for Artificial Intelligence and Education (AACE). ------------------------------------------------------- AFTERNOON TUTORIALS--TUESDAY, DEC. 5 -- 2:00 PM-5:00 PM ------------------------------------------------------- T3: Semantic Networking: A Cognitive Tool for Analyzing Content, Acquiring Knowledge, and Evaluating Learning ---------------------------------------------------------------- David H. Jonassen Pennsylvania State University, USA Abstract: Semantic networking tools represent a new class of computer-supported tool that engages users in integration and elaboration of knowledge. Programs such as SemNet (Fisher, 1990), Learning Tool (Kozma, 1987), CMap (Novak), Inspiration, Pathfinder Nets, and TextVision (Kommers, 1989) are powerful thinking tools that provide visual and verbal screen tools to support the development of cognitive maps. Cognitive maps are spatial representations of semantic networks_the ideas and their interrelationships that are stored in memory. Mind mapping programs facilitate the acquisition and evaluation of structural knowledge (Jonassen, Beissner, & Yacci, 1993), based on semantic network theory, schema theory, cognitive structure, and conversation theory. Applications: In the workshop, you will learn how to use mind mapping tools for: - fostering cognitive learning strategies - assessing cognitive structures of learners - evaluating prior knowledge of learners - assessing misconceptions in learners - assessing learning from hypermedia/multimedia - performing content and task analysis - modeling content in hypermedia knowledge bases - rapid prototyping of instructional materials - developing instructional strategies, such as graphic organizers Activities: In this workshop, learners will develop cognitive maps using different semantic networking software on Macintosh computers. You will also use these tools for assessing learning and knowledge structures, conducting content analysis for structuring hypermedia knowledge bases and then converting your mind maps automatically into hypermedia prototypes. We will discuss and demonstrate a number of other applications of mind maps. Learners will work on Macintoshes. About the Instructor: Dr. Jonassen is Professor of Instructional Systems at the Pennsylvania State University. Dr. Jonassen has published 15 books and hundreds of articles, papers, and technical reports on the applications of instructional systems and technology to learning. His current research focuses on designing constructivist learning environments, cognitive tools for learning, knowledge representation methods, and individual differences and learning. Dr. Jonassen has previously taught at the University of Colorado and the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and consulted with businesses and institutions around the world. Enrollment Limit: 30 people T4: Social Learning Systems --------------------------- Tak-Wai Chan Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering, National Central University, Taiwan Abstract: If most knowledge can be regarded as a common consensus of a community, then learning should naturally take place in a socio-cultural environment. Furthermore, if social context is a catalyst of knowledge cultivation and motivation, then this element of learning should be emphasized in most computer-assisted learning systems. Social learning systems are emerging learning environments that involve multiple agents, working at the same computer or across connected machines. These agents are either computer simulated or real human beings, taking various roles via different protocols of learning activity, such as cooperation, competition, peer tutoring, and so on. As alternatives to traditional one-to-one tutoring, these systems are sometimes called or closely related to collaborative, distributed, or distance learning systems. This tutorial will provide a historical treatment and the theoretical basis of these emerging technology supported learning environments, then take a glance at their infrastructure. After that, we introduce various social learning systems and discuss some of these systems in detail. Following that we give a framework to classify and, finally, discuss the design issues of social learning systems.
