Designing and Implementing an 'Intelligent' Multimedia Tutoring System for Repair Tasks. Volume 2. Number 1.

摘要

This document contains three items: the final report for the ONR contract Designing and Implementing an Intelligent Multimedia Tutoring System for Repair Tasks; a technical report titled Sequencing and Access in Interactive Graphic-based Procedural Instructions, and an Appendix listing papers, talks, and technical reports complete during the project. The final report gives an overview of the three major phases of the work: 1) Developing an interactive computer-controlled videodisc-based system to help people learn to assemble an object, and testing how people use it; 2) Designing and implementing a prototype 'intelligent' multimedia tutoring system (videodisc-based) to help people assemble, repair, and understand an object, and testing how people, given different tasks, use it, and 3) Developing an interactive graphics-based system to help people repair an object, and testing how people use several versions of it. The technical report gives details of 3) reporting a surprising results that for the interactive materials studied, organization did not play a role in performance. This is in strong contrast to the important role of organization in passive instruction.
