PRODUCING CONTROLLED VARIATIONS IN AUTOMATED TEACHING SYSTEM INTERACTIONS

摘要

The content of an instructor-student interaction set in an automated teaching system is represented in a graph-based format. In a graph-based representation, not only can variations branch away from each other at a node (branching point), as in the tree-based representation, but they can also merge back together. Not only does this make the -structure more compact, but it increases the number of variations that can be represented in the content while simultaneously eliminating the need to individually author each variation.

主权项

1. A method for creating the content of an instructor-student interaction set in an automated teaching system, comprising the step of structuring the interactions in a graph-based arrangement in which student interaction responses are a set of interconnected nodes arranged in a directed graph.
