| An Interactive Learning Environment for Adaptive Systems Instruction (2000) | |||||||||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||||||||
| We have developed a new computer based learning environment to teach adaptive systems in the EE undergraduate curriculum. The learning environment is based upon an electronic book containing a hypertext document linked with a software simulator which runs interactive examples on-line, and is fully controlled by the student. This paper presents the concepts behind the project, its implementation, and discusses the teaching methodology and an evaluation of the first course offering. 1. Introduction Computer based learning has been heralded as the next generation of teaching tools, but this promise is largely unfulfilled. The difficulty comes from the lack of a clear understanding of what computers bring to the human learning process and how to develop environments which use them effectively. The first question is a research area in itself, so we started by observing how computers are currently being used for classroom instruction. We see two basic levels in the utilization of compute... | |||||||||||||||
