Examining Learning Theory of Online Information Retrieval Systems and Applications in Computer-Aided Instruction: Implications for the Defense Technical Information Center's Computer-Aided Instruction

摘要

The Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) is developing a computer-aided instruction (CAI) tutorial course entitled 'Introduction to DROLS Retrieval' in order to train users of its online information retrieval system, the Defense RDT&E Online System (DROLS). In order to maximum benefits of CAI to DTIC, this paper examined three areas: (1) Learning theory as it relates to online retrieval systems. That is, how do humans learn theses systems; and (2) Learning theory and its application to CAI; and (3) An advance draft of DTIC's in-house-developed CAI course entitled 'Introduction to Recommendations are presented in all three areas.
