Basic computer-aided learning for a control engineering course To allow for variation in the rate at which similarly qualified students accept new material, a computer-based aid has been developed to provide self-paced learning as an adjunct to a formal course in Control Systems. The first stage of the courseware is described and student reaction is surveyed.

[Id]Beberapa negara maju telah lama menerapkan komputer dan ICT dalam lingkungan pembelajaran baik intranet maupun internet, dan dalam bentuk Computer Aided Learning (CAL) maupun Intelligent Tutorial System (ITS). Berdasarkan pengamatan institusi pendidikan Sekolah Menengah Umum di Indonesia telah memanfaatkan fasilitas komputer untuk keperluan pembelajarannya, salah satunya adalah menggunakan sarana pembelajaran e-learning. Dalam penelitian ini di bangun suatu perangkat lunak Self Learning Centre (SLC) yang bertujuan untuk mendukung proses pembelajaran dan memantau perkembangan siswa secara on-line dengan menggunakan metode Asyncronous Learning.Aplikasi e-learning dengan menggunakan tree view sebagai alat bantu proses pembelajaran di SMU ini di buat dengan menggunakan Macromedia Dreamwaver MX, bahasa pemogramman PHP, Java Script dan database menggunakan MySQL, dan? perancangan sistemnya menggunakan UML (Unified Modelling Language).Berdasarkan hasil implementasi, dapat di simpulkan bahwa Aplikasi e-learning SLC dapat membantu siswa dan guru dalam menggunakan materi paper based menjadi computer based yang lebih dinamis. Selain itu juga SLC dapat dijadikan salah satu fasilitas untuk menyajikan materi terstruktur dengan menggunakan tree view dan untuk melihat hasil perkembangan siswa berupa statistik dan grafik. Untuk perkembangan aplikasi ini materi dan soal-soal yang ditampilkan sebaiknya di update secara periodik yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan siswa.Kata Kunci : E-Learning, TreeView, SLC, Asynchronous learning[En]Some developed countries implemented computer and ICT in learning environment both intranet and internet, and in the form of Computer Aided Learning (CAL) and Intelligent Tutorial System (ITS). Based on the observations, some of high school education institutions in Indonesia have utilized computer facilities for learning purposes, such as using e-learning tools. In this research we built a Self Learning Center (SLC) software that aims to support the learning process and monitor the progrss of students learning on-line using Asyncronous Learning method.The e-learning application is built using tree view as a tool of learning process. It was created using Macromedia Dreamwaver MX, PHP programming language, Java Script and MySQL database.Based on the results of implementation, it can be concluded that the SLC e-learning application can help students and teachers to swift from paper-based materials to computer based. In addition SLC can be used as one of the facilities to present the material structured using tree view and to see the results of student progress by presenting statistics and graphs

This report describes an evaluation of »observer variation« in history taking and examination of patients with abdominal pain. After an initial survey in which the degree of observer variation amongst the present authors fully confirmed previous rather gloomy forecasts, a system of »agreed definitions« was produced, and further studies showed a rapid and considerable fall in the degree of observer variation between the data recorded by the same authors. Finally, experience with a computer-based diagnostic system using the same system of agreed definitions showed the maximum diagnostic error rate due to faulty acquisition of data to be low (4.7°/o in a series of 552 cases). It is suggested as a result of these studies that — at least in respect of abdominal pain — errors in data acquisition by the clinician need not be the prime cause of faulty diagnoses.

This paper describes a series of 10,500 attempts at »pattern-recognition« by two groups of humans and a computer based system. There was little difference between the performances of 11 clinicians and 11 other persons of comparable intellectual capability. Both groups’ performances were related to the pattern-size, the accuracy diminishing rapidly as the patterns grew larger. By contrast the computer system increased its accuracy as the patterns increased in size.It is suggested (a) that clinicians are very little better than others at pattem-recognition, (b) that the clinician is incapable of analysing on a probabilistic basis the data he collects during a traditional clinical interview and examination and (c) that the study emphasises once again a major difference between human and computer performance. The implications as - regards human- and computer-aided diagnosis are discussed.
