Intelligent tutoring system for real estate management

The review on the worldwide intelligent tutoring systems and their application possibilities is presented in the paper. The intelligent tutoring system for real estate management developed by the authors is described. This system is applied in Vilnius Gediminas Technical University, Department of Construction Economics and Property Management. Besides the common components ‐ student model, domain model, pedagogical model and graphical interface, the new developed system has testing model, decision support subsystem and database of computer learning systems. Domain model includes knowledge with the supplemental audio and video material for 63 modules being taught in Vilnius Gediminas Technical University. Student model enables to adapt to a learner needs and knowledge level. Decision support subsystem is used for all components of intelligent tutoring system giving them different level of intelligence. Database of computer learning systems enables using the following web‐based learning systems: construction, real estate, facilities management, international trade, ethics, innovation, sustainable development, building refurbishment, etc. Tutor and testing model provide a model of the teaching process and support transition to a new knowledge state. Graphic interface is used to create an effective system‐user dialogue. Santruka Straipsnyje pateikiama išsami intelektinių mokymo sistemų bei jų taikymo galimybių analizė. Aprašoma nekilnojamojo turto vadybos intelektinė mokymo sistema, sukurta autorių. Ji taikoma Vilniaus Gedimino technikos universiteto Statybos ekonomikos ir nekilnojamojo turto vadybos katedroje. Be bendrų intelektinėms mokymo sistemoms komponentų ‐ studento modelio, pedagoginio modelio, disciplinų duomenų bazės ir grafinės sąsajos, į naują sistemą įtrauktas sprendimų paramos posistemis, kompiuterinių mokymo sistemų duomenų bazės ir žinių vertinimo posistemis. Disciplinų duomenų bazėje pateikiamos 63 modulių, dėstomų Vilniaus Gedimino technikos universitete, žinios spausdinta, vaizdo bei garso forma. Studento modelis sudaro galimybę pritaikyti mokymą prie studijuojančiojo poreikių ir žinių lygio. Sprendimų paramos posistemis taikomas visuose intelektinės mokymo sistemos komponentuose, suteikia jiems skirtingo lygmens intelektualumo savybių. Kompiuterinių mokymo sistemų duomenų bazė leidžia naudotis šiomis internetinėmis mokymo sistemomis: statybos, nekilnojamojo turto, pastatų ūkio valdymo, tarptautinės prekybos, etikos, inovacijų, subalansuotos plėtros, renovacijos ir kt. Pedagoginis ir žinių vertinimo modelis pateikia kitą ‐ mokymo proceso modelį, padeda pereiti į kitą žinių lygmenį. Grafinė sąsaja sukuria efektyvų dialogą tarp sistemos ir vartotojo

Designing a training tool for imaging mental models

The training process can be conceptualized as the student acquiring an evolutionary sequence of classification-problem solving mental models. For example a physician learns (1) classification systems for patient symptoms, diagnostic procedures, diseases, and therapeutic interventions and (2) interrelationships among these classifications (e.g., how to use diagnostic procedures to collect data about a patient's symptoms in order to identify the disease so that therapeutic measures can be taken. This project developed functional specifications for a computer-based tool, Mental Link, that allows the evaluative imaging of such mental models. The fundamental design approach underlying this representational medium is traversal of virtual cognition space. Typically intangible cognitive entities and links among them are visible as a three-dimensional web that represents a knowledge structure. The tool has a high degree of flexibility and customizability to allow extension to other types of uses, such a front-end to an intelligent tutoring system, knowledge base, hypermedia system, or semantic network

Strata Managers and Educational Mishaps

In Australia, educational qualifications are a prescribed requirement for licensing within various occupations and professions, and each state and territory has varying degrees of educational aims and objectives. This research paper examines the minimum standards of education and knowledge, which are imposed as a pre-requisite for the licensing of a Strata Manager. The paper traces the historical progression which occurred during the last century to the current decade, and includes an assessment of societies changing needs of the role within the profession. In this regard, it is argued that the educational requirements during the mid 1990s to the early 2000s best served the needs of the consumer in comparison to these last 10 years. The discussion is complemented with data from New South Wales, mapping the educational knowledge fields and comparing this information to the duties and responsibilities of a Strata Manager
