Collaborize Classroom - 3 views

  •  
    An online platform that can be used for collaborative learning.
  • ...1 more comment...
  •  
    Actually, I have some doubts about collaborize classroom is an ease for teachers with their heavy workload, because he or she need to create this platform first and then follow it very closely in order to include all the students.
  •  
    That may be a drawback for the teachers teaching different courses but time allocated for lessons are not enough to engage students in discussions and have every student voice their ideas. This is just an example. Teachers can use any other online platform to do this.
  •  
    This can be used in the online classes. I taught several online and blended courses before. One missing element was the audio-visual cues in online discussions. I would be more inclined to use the tools that allow muli-modal interaction in an online platform.

    The link is to an interview with Etienne Wenger, who is an educational theorist and practitioner, best known for his formulation (with Jean Lave) of the theory of situated cognition and his more recent work in the field of communities of practice. There are various questions in the interview and can help us understand in detail.

What is cognitive load? - 0 views

    I know it's related to our previous topic, but still I like the way she explains; a clear model of the thousands of little things that have to happen as we move from novice to expert and wanted to share with you.
  •  
    We will talk more about cognitive load theory and its implications in education research later this semester. Thanks for sharing.

Siblings play formative, influential role as 'agents of socialization' - 0 views

  •  
    What we learn from our siblings when we grow up has -- for better or for worse -- a considerable influence on our social and emotional development as adults, according to an expert in sibling, parent-child and peer relationships at the University of Illinois.

Carnegie Cognitive Tutor - 4 views

    Here is a video showing how a tutor works
  • ...2 more comments...
  •  
    Thank you for the example video, I really liked the idea of green bars as skills visually moving up and down. Do the instructor enter these skills?
  •  
    Actually the skills are predetermined and while learners study the tutors monitor their performance and learning by the help of some algorithms called model tracing and knowledge tracing. So according to the learner's performence the tutor changes the expected skills
  •  
    Ok, thank you :) I thought if a teacher is using this tool for example, s/he can enter some skills beforehand.
  •  
    Thank you Halil, it's a very good example. And Canan mentioned a good point but I have a question: If we use these kind of systems, do we need empty tools for teachers which they can fill for their own instructional purposes or do we need a complete environment which teachers will just use?

Cognitive Tutor students demonstrate lower failure rates than standard algebra curricul... - 1 views

  •  
    Pınar, I think Carnegie Learning "Success Stories" page does not provide the information whether the research group uses the tutoring system as additional or supportive on top of the control group's traditional lesson content. So if the research group only used the tutoring system then it is a significant result.
  •  
    I think it was a supportive program because in the report it was stated that the Cognitive Tutor Algebra I curriculum consisted of classroom instruction, software sessions, and text. However, the information provided in the report is not sufficient to make an evaluation of the program, other variables might have influenced the results.

Vitamin as a "Cognitive Tutoring tool" - 0 views

  •  
    I think Vitamin is one of the best cogntive tools in Turkish. They have very comprehensive work online.
  • ...1 more comment...

    Thanks for sharing. Yet I have doubts whether we can call Vitamin as a Cognitive Tutoring Tool. I have just visited the site and checked it. Considering the part about principles and methods for cognitive tutor design on page 67, we see that in Cognitive Tutors the emphasis is on the structure underlying the problem solving, and there we see immediate feedbacks and also minimizing working memory load is important part of them. As I see, what is specific about the Cognitive Tutors is that they have algorithms tracing the learning process and directs it according to the learner's performance spontaneously. Observing Vitamin I see a nice online educational tool including videos, examples about the subject and tests. But still I have doubts whether it is a kind of cognitive tutor or an online education platform.
  •  
    I am not sure if Vitamin is tracing the learner development. I will try to ask it to one of my friends eırking at Vitamin.
  •  
    I agree with Halil, Vitamin is like distance education programs of Anatolian University. It offers videos presenting he topic and tests of the related subjects. Learners do not take immediate feedback which lead to the individualized progress in the program.

5th Grade Geometry Tutor - 0 views

    I also played, and had fun during tutoring, I wish ı had an oppurtunity to have that kind of tutors when ı was a kid
  •  
    I am also curious to hear more about the design principles behind these kind of tutors. I wonder if the designers followed a particular ID model.
  •  
    I checked it also but when I made an error(Of course it was in purpose B-) the feedback was not like a feedback. And I am also curious what is the meaning of those triangles and trees on the coordinate system according to designer.
  •  
    I think the designers of these kind of tutors rely on some accepted design principles like representing student competence or minimize working memory load, but they also follow pedagogical guidelines which impose them to find the most appropriate ID model. Since the analogy might be taken too literally they do not prefer to build an ITS modeled on human tutors. So I think there is no specific ID model for the designers but it should be an employee rather than an employer.
  •  
    This tutor provides only practice opportunities for students but I am not sure that whether it includes problem solving context
  •  
    I reallu like this application. Students can learn both geometri and how they can draw their way not to crash some objects. But The sam question came my mindwith Filiz, is this develop higher order thinking skills?
