    * Provide authentic context that reflect the way the knowledge will be used in real-life; * Provide authentic activities; * Provide access to expert performances and the modelling of processes; * Provide multiple roles and perspectives; * Support collaborative construction of knowledge; * Provide coaching and scaffolding at critical times; * Promote reflection to enable abstractions to be formed; * Promote articulation to enable tacit knowledge to be made explicit; * Provide for integrated assessment of learning within the tasks.

    Do you think village institutes in Turkey can be some examples of implementation of situated learning examples? I am sure most of you have watched the documentary on them :)

    Canan, this is a very good example, and I believe will spark a good discussion on situated learning.

    Mostly probably all of you are familiar with Dyned. It is an interactive software for learning English and it is a quite good innovation in the field of computer assisted language learning. It is tired to be used in the public schools and Turkish Ministry of Education supports this.

    I used Dyned in my classes for years or I shoud say I tried to use it:) It is really hard to use technology in public schools and also Dyned is a problematic program in terms of various aspects. However, it was really surprising that all the students were eager to login in the system and use Dyned. I really wonder whether it would make any difference in student achievement if Dyned was used in schools properly.
  • Burcu Korkusuz on 10 Nov 13
     
    We have a similar program in my workplace, "Azarinteractive". However, students are extra demotivated to use it though they have chance to practice listening and so forth. I think you are lucky Pınar, to have eager students to use such a tool. :)))

    So perhaps, "motivation" is an important issue to consider with cognitive tutors. Let's cover some of the motivational aspects of cognitive tutors and intelligent tutoring systems in class.
  • sermin vardal ocakli on 12 Nov 13
     
    I think when sts are first introduced with such programs, they display high motivation. They are eager to find the secrets of the program. However, as time passes and as they get used to the style of the program, their motivation decreases since there are no secrets anymore. Therefore, in my opinion, to keep their motivation at its highest level, each module (if it's modular) should introduce new ways of learning.

    It pushed me to think about both pro and cons of it. Thank you İbrahim.
  • sermin vardal ocakli on 12 Nov 13
     
    Thanks for the source:-) As far as I understood, some benefits of these programs are based on some assumptions. For instance, these programs assume that learners are autonomous. That's why they are mostly useful with adults. Or the expertise of the online tutor. The assumption behind is that they are better than the ones in the classroom. Therefore, each benefit brings its risks...
  • Mustafa İlkhan on 12 Nov 13
     
    Thank you İbrahim, I think the con about distraction is very important (It requires more discipline, Your child would have to keep his focus on the screen without getting distracted by emails, IM's or Facebook.) Any ideas to prevent getting distracted?
  • Burcu Korkusuz on 13 Nov 13
     
    For me it is important to be aware of that in foreign language instruction, the movement of your mouth can be really important in getting pronunciation right. That's harder to teach online. If the subject or homework assignment specifically requires the child to write on paper, it's much harder for an online tutor to read along with the student. So it works better for some subjects

    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.
  • ibrahim tanrikulu on 09 Nov 13
     
    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.
  • Pınar Mercan Küçükakın on 10 Nov 13
     
    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.

  • Burcu Korkusuz on 10 Nov 13
     
    One to one interaction is missing in intelligent tutoring, which Ken Koedinger accepts :)
  • leventmetu on 10 Nov 13
     
    Burcu, that does not mean ITS will never have the features for one to one interaction. This is a matter of time and technology. If u can read the article "Multimodal Affect Recognition in Intelligent Tutoring Systems" below ITSs have very rapid progress for interaction.

    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?
  • Halil Han AKTAŞ on 09 Nov 13
     
    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
  • canannn on 10 Nov 13
     
    Ok, thank you :) I thought if a teacher is using this tool for example, s/he can enter some skills beforehand.
  • Mustafa İlkhan on 11 Nov 13
     
    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?

    "Many of the ways we have of talking about learning and education are based on the assumption that learning is something that individuals do". This is a really nice article that outlines the theory and its applications and some issues related to situated learning theory are pointed out.
