It has been recognized that in order to drive Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs) into mainstream use by the teaching community, it is essential to support teachers through the entire ITS process: Design, Development, Deployment, Reflection and Adaptation. Although research has been done on supporting teachers through design to deployment of ITSs,…

In this work is proposed that an adaptation tool that is for the automatic generation and personalization of courses of a general-purpose LCMS that is named A Tutor. A Tutor is a Learning Content Management System. The architecture of the adaptation tool that allows a personalized sequencing of LOs in A Tutor for the learner's learning goals,…

The benefits of management computer technology for both classroom and resource teachers of the hearing impaired are described. Their advantages in planning and organization tasks are illustrated by examples of the management system at Rochester School for the Deaf and its use in two specific areas: the reading checklist file and speech production…

Of the fields on which developments related to information and communication technologies are effective will keep increasing is education. That's why the methods and techniques that have been formed over the long years may change relatively.

This paper details a computer managed program of instruction called Teaching Information Processing System (TIPS) as adapted to an introductory psychology course. TIPS encourages the instructor to formulate objectives for meaningful units of a course--objectives which should imply what changes in student behavior indicate mastery. Then multiple…

The paper describes the Special Education Data Management System (SEDMS), an approach which provides flexibility in meeting changing data requirements and which can generate reports in a reliable manner. Further, SEDMS is operable by a non-programer within a multi-user environment. SEDMS checks the validity of entries to ensure against inaccurate…
