A Problem Solving Using Intelligent Social Network

摘要

Nowadays, students are becoming familiar with the computer technology at a very early age. Moreover, the wide availability of the internet gives a new perspective to distance education making e-learning environments crucial to the future of education. Intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs) provide sophisticated tutoring systems using artificial intelligence techniques in computer programs to facilitate instruction. ITSs support problem solving by providing adaptive scaffolding in terms of feedback, guidance, problem selection and other types of help. Little attention has been devoted thus far to the difference between novices and advanced students in learning from social network and ITSs. Furthermore, students can benefit from collaboration in social network environments especially when this is combined with an ITS.
