Project presentations
during exam period
Instead of a course final exam, we will have project presentations instead.
Thus, you should arrive at noon on Tuesday 5/12 at our normal classroom
(BYAC 260) with (1) a hardcopy of your project report (see me softcopy
via email) and (2) a 15 min presentation/demo of your project and (3) 9
hardcopies (in notes format) of your powerpoint slides. No
extensions/incompletes will be granted. I would rather see a progress report
than nothing. A failure report is OK too.

Due Tues 4/28
The formal proposal (3 pages, max) is due Tuesday, 4/28 before class in
the digital drop box It should (like any good proposal) state:
1. What is the research challenge/opportunity? E.g., “Can an ITS teach motor
skills? More specifically, can one implement a step based-tutoring system for
Tai Chi Chuan, an ancient 64-step exercise practices by millions every day,
but incredibly hard to remember because the movements are so similar. ”
2. What is the technical approach or basic idea? E.g., “ Since the system
will not be able to see, students will choose the next step from a multiple-choice
menu of video clips. I will only implement the first 16 steps. Students will
alternate between using the system and practicing physically. The system will
be implemented in the Flash version of CTAT.“
3. What comprises the evaluation of your project? How could if fail? What
defines success? E.g. “ The technical evaluation is whether CTAT/Flash can
accommodate and rapidly run all those video clips. A usability evaluation
will be have 3 friends use it for about 15 minutes while giving me a verbal
protocol of their reactions, followed by a retrospective report on their
overall impression of its usability. I will take detailed notes as they
speak, and collate them into a usability report. The pedagogical evaluation
will be to have my spouse spend two hours learning some Tai Chi steps from
me, then two more hours learning from the system. I predict that she will
learn more moves from the system than from me even though she spent the same
time in both conditions.”
4. What will be learned from this project? E.g., “The essential idea
‘learning to do by learning to view.’ It is not clear that there will be much
transfer from seeing videos of me doing Tai Chi steps to actually doing the
steps oneself. This project could really bomb. Even a little success would
suggest some virtue to this approach.”

Create a CTAT tutor for the fancy/mundane decision tree example in this
powerpoint presentation: Decision Trees .ppt (753 Kb) You will have to creatively work around the lack of
appropriate graphical objects (e.g. ovals, arrows, etc.). Please use the
combo box widget and other widgets that you have not used before. For instance,
if you want your student to type in algebra, then read the documentation
about the algebraWidget property of the DorminQuestionTextField widget.
Instead of adding lots of branches to your graph, try using unordered groups
and/or optional steps (see the Generalize section of the user manual). By the
way, if you are unfamiliar with decision trees, you may wish to read http://www.stylusandslate.com/decision_trees/index.html
(a long description of how to draw and evaluate a decision tree) and/or http://www.mindtools.com/dectree.html
(A short description of how to draw and evaluate decision trees).

is hungry. He has 4 seal sausages, and his friend gives him 3 more. He still
doesn't have enough, so he cuts each sausage in half. Now each dog gets
exactly one half sausage. How many dogs does George have?" Can you make
several exercises that vary on what parts of the solution are done by the
tutor and what is done by the student? Can you vary the grain-size of the
reasoning steps?

working with CTAT.
Do before class: If you did do so in class on thursday,
please follow the CTAT web pages and (1) configure Netbeans (2) do the
tutorial on creating a user interface for Fraction addition
(3) do the tutorial on creating an example-based tutor for fraction addition.
If you have time before class, try to get one of the CTAT examples (e.g.,
fraction addition) to be less stringent about the order in which it expects
actions. To do so, please read the generalize section of the user
manual.
