COLLABORATIVE TUTORING: A MULTI-TUTOR APPROACH

An Intelligent Tutorial System (ITS) is a learning computer environment. Many ITSs do not integrate human tutor since they are designed to use in autonomy by the learner. One of the reasons to increase the rate of desertion in a distance training framework compared to that of a face-to-face course is the absence of the human killer. Besides, the existing ITSs are dedicated to a single learning object based on domain-dependent modelling. Our contribution consists in proposing an ITS, independent of the learning domain, capable of initiating learning, of managing an articulation between machine tutoring and human tutoring (teaching and peers) to offer an individualized and personalized follow-up, and ensure certification of the learner’s assessment.

APLIKASI E-LEARNING MENGGUNAKAN TREE VIEW

[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

Intelligent Tutoring Systems

Today’s education is faced by new challenges and yet new innovations. The key area where innovations are introduced lies on instructional methodology. It becomes necessary for the educators to incorporate new trends and methodologies in instructional methodology. One such aspect that came into existence is intelligent tutorial system. In this chapter, Firstly, the appearance of the ITS notion and related literature review will be handled. After then general architecture of Intelligent Tutoring Systems will be presented and information about improvements on ITS will be given up to now. And also best ITS practices will be mentioned, too. In this sense, ZOSMAT - a detailed sample application - will be explained as a demonstration of how an ITS is designed. ZOSMAT can be used for the purpose of either individual learning or real classroom environment with the guidance of a human tutor during a formal education process. This characteristic of ZOSMAT distinguishes itself from other intelligent tutoring systems (Keles et al., 2009). Finally, challenges and problems in the area of ITS and future of ITS will be discussed.
