The STEP environment for distributed problem-based learning on the World Wide Web

چکیده
Successful elementary and secondary educational reform requires analogous reform in teacher education; however, the standard undergraduate setting in schools of education poses considerable obstacles. In this paper, we describe the STEP environment for distributed problem-based learning (www.eSTEPweb.org), which represents one of many efforts to create a viable model for teacher education reform. Here, we describe our approach to creating a socio-technical infrastructure designed to help foster a knowledge-building community among preservice teachers, practicing teachers, and instructional staff. We highlight the online environment that supports student and staff coursework in the learning sciences component of a secondary teacher education curriculum.

Large-scale data management is a critical problem in a distributed system such as cloud,P2P system, World Wide Web (WWW), and Data Grid. One of the effective solutions is data replicationtechnique, which efficiently reduces the cost of communication and improves the data reliability andresponse time. Various replication methods can be proposed depending on when, where, and howreplicas are gener...
متن کاملA New Paradigm of Distributed Problem Solving
Since the World Wide Web is enlarging its scale, users cannot find and utilize information easily. Hence problem solving systems in the Web environment are required. The core of such systems is the Problem Solver Markup Language (PSML) and PSML-based distributed Web inference engines. In this paper, we demonstrate a possible implementation of certain distributed reasoning capablities as require...

In this paper, in the context of distance learning on the World-Wide Web, we argue that Java is a natural language to develop interactive educational material for on-line laboratories that can be shared and distributed widely. The interactive and computational capabilities of Java are demonstrated through modular speech analysis laboratory (JavaSpeechLab) based on Java application and applet. T...
متن کاملDynamic Obstacle Avoidance by Distributed Algorithm based on Reinforcement Learning (RESEARCH NOTE)
In this paper we focus on the application of reinforcement learning to obstacle avoidance in dynamic Environments in wireless sensor networks. A distributed algorithm based on reinforcement learning is developed for sensor networks to guide mobile robot through the dynamic obstacles. The sensor network models the danger of the area under coverage as obstacles, and has the property of adoption o...
