Adaptive Computer-Based Training in Engineering Education

摘要

The thesis describes the development and introduction of a computer-assistedtraining system to be used in a real environment. The outline of the thesis is as follows: In Chapter 2, an overview of computer support in instruction is given, with the aim of training in mind. Chapter 3 focuses on some artificial intelligence techniques which could be useful in the project. Chapters 4 and 5 describe the design of the system, especially the adaptive part of the management system. Chapter 6 gives an overview of demands on the item implementation environments. Further it contains a description of the chosen environment Taiga, and the design of Taiga extensions for interfacing with the management system, and for support of Control Theory related graphs. The system has been tested by students; Chapter 7 describes these tests and the results. Finally, in Chapter 8, conclusions and suggestions are stated.
