Development of a Human-like e-Learning System for Students' Active Learning

Abstract

There are two types of e-Learning systems, namely, a synchronous type system and an asynchronous type system. A Synchronous type e-Learning system uses TV conference systems and it gives students a sense of reality. An asynchronous e-Learning system has merits which are free from time and place. An important element of an asynchronous e-Learning system is WBT (Web Based Training) which is used in training in companies. Interactive communications with a teacher are important for education. However, an asynchronous, lecture type e-Learning system has some difficulty for keeping students’ motivation and encouraging active learning. In this paper, we introduce a human-like e-Learning system which provides experiment contents for active learning and which have communicative functions, such as chat.The original publication is available at JAIST Press http://www.jaist.ac.jp/library/jaist-press/index.htmlIFSR 2005 : Proceedings of the First World Congress of the International Federation for Systems Research : The New Roles of Systems Sciences For a Knowledge-based Society : Nov. 14-17, 2035, Kobe, JapanSymposium 3, Session 2 : Intelligent Information Technology and Applications Pattern Recognitiion with Application
