智能代理和学习对象的集成——一种应用于在线教学的设计思想

Integrating Intelligent Agent and Learning Objects: A Promising E-learning Tool for Distance Education

讨论了一种很有发展前景的E教学开发设计思想,集智能代理和学习对象为一体来开发更智能化,更高交互性和高扩展性的在线教学系统。在该系统中,每个对象都被附加上一个智能代理,从而在在线学习中像一个代理程序一样,从学习环境中获得各项实时参数,然后根据这些参数采取相应的操作。此外,与内置智能代理的对象一样,用户模块被设计用来记录和保存一切与用户有关的信息,包括习惯的学习方式以及所有在线学习课程当中的活动事件。由于用户模块可以更好地了解每个用户,系统就会以一种更具有针对性的方式工作,就像老师在课堂上可以对不同的学生采取不同的教学方法一样,因此系统更像一个真正的老师,而不是一个生硬的机器。

This paper discuss a promising e-learnlng tool of integrating Artificial Intelligence element, intelligent agent with learning objects, which can assist achieving more intelligent, high-level interactivity and more reusable, extensible online teaching-learning system. The new technology, learning objects applies to educational materials designed and created in small chunks for the purpose of improving reusability, extensibility and manageability of the system. However, with the involvement of learning objects, there are still some problems with the current teaching-learning system. One of disadvantages is that low level of interactivity and intelligence can not adapt to individual learner＇ s preference, such as the learning styles he or she would like. Relative mature AI technologies give an opportunity of integrating AI elements with learning objects. With this design idea, learning objects will be added intelligence and can be work as an agent program, perceiving parameters from its environment then taking the most appropriate behavior or a series actions. Furthermore, like LO with agent program built-in, user-models are designed with responsibility for holding all the users＇ favoritism and all the behaviors or activities relative to them in their online course environment. Because of the user-models conducing to know more about the learners, system will fulfill the tasks with ways adapting to the individual learner＇s just like a teacher can take disparate methods for ever）, student.
