Software Tutors for Scaffolding on Planet Oit
نویسندگان
چکیده
Planet Oit is a multi-user virtual environment used to teach geologic concepts and the scientific method. It is built on a structured system of modules and goals arranged so that students have freedom, but have direction as well. Intelligent software tutors explain geologic concepts, guide the players in achieving their goals, and assist them in understanding the environment. Planet Oit and its system of goals, tutors, and scaffolding are described.

Patterns of scaffolding in computer-mediated collaborative inquiry
There is wide agreement on the importance of scaffolding for student learning. Yet, models of individual and face-to-face scaffolding are not necessarily applicable to educational settings in which a group of learners is pursuing a process of inquiry mediated by technology. The scaffolding needed for such a process may be examined from three perspectives: the organisation of activities, the aff...
متن کاملIntegrating tools and resources: a case study in building educational groupware for collaborative programming
This paper presents design implications for educational groupware as revealed by GHT (Group Homework Tool), a same time different place groupware tool built to support synchronous, collaborative coding among novice programmers. We detail the design, implementation, evaluation, and redesign of GHT, focusing on the issues of awareness, control, evaluation and scaffolding. GHT capitalizes on trend...
متن کاملInstructional Interventions in Computer Based Tutoring: Differential Impact on Learning Time and Impact
We can reliably build “second generation” intelligent computer tutors that are approximately half as effective as human tutors. This paper evaluates two interface enhancements designed to improve the effectiveness of one successful second generation tutor, the ACT Programming Tutor. One enhancement employs animated feedback to make key data structure relationships salient. The second enhancemen...
متن کاملConstructing Self-Explanations and Scaffolded Explanations in Tutoring
One-on-one tutoring is a form of instruction that requires interaction between a tutor and a tutee. The effectiveness of tutoring is examined from the perspectives of the tutor's actions, the tutee's actions, and successive interactions. A tutor's actions that may not lead to successive interactions consist of asking an initiating question, providing feedback, and asking a comprehension-gauging...
متن کاملMoving Beyond Yes or No: Shifting From OverScaffolding to Contingent Scaffolding in Literacy Instruction With Emergent Bilingual Students
Building on theories of scaffolding and previous research on scaffolding between adults and children, this article provides empirical examples of over-scaffolding as it occurs in peer-topeer literacy activities among elementary-level emergent bilingual students. In their analysis of data from the first year of a design-based research project (Bradley & Reinking, 2011) consisting of a cross-aged...
