Instructional Architect System Discovering Recommending

项目摘要

This project creates a system comprised of a set of online services collectively called the Instructional Architect. The Instructional Architect is a suite of services for digital libraries consisting of four tools that provide for discovery, presentation, inspection, and recommendation of learning objects. A primary goal of digital libraries is to provide users, including teachers and students, a way to search for and display digital learning resources or learning objects. Often, the digital libraries do not provide methods or support for recombining and embedding discovered learning objects within new instruction and curriculum. This project provides this functionality by including an additional tier of services that will overlay and be compatible with existing digital library services. These services include the enhancement of search capabilities provided by existing digital libraries, automated recommendation of learning objects based on feedback from members of communities of users, instructional support for the combination of learning objects into lessons, an integrated Web-based development environment in which learning objects can be assembled into instruction, and a method for enabling the spontaneous formation of new communities of users based on shared interests.While many advances have been made in the creation of digital libraries, there is considerable room for improving how learning objects are accessed and re-used by the large population of teachers and learners who have Internet access but need technological and instructional support. This project will result in a system that will enable more focused and relevant access to learning objects for the purpose of creating instruction and thus enhance the role of digital libraries in promoting effective SMET education.

该项目创建了一个由一组统称为教学架构师的在线服务组成的系统。教学架构师是一套针对数字图书馆的服务，由四种工具组成，可提供学习对象的发现、演示、检查和推荐。数字图书馆的主要目标是为包括教师和学生在内的用户提供一种搜索和显示数字学习资源或学习对象的方式。通常，数字图书馆不提供在新的教学和课程中重新组合和嵌入发现的学习对象的方法或支持。该项目通过包含额外的服务层来提供此功能，这些服务将覆盖现有的数字图书馆服务并与之兼容。这些服务包括增强现有数字图书馆提供的搜索功能、根据用户社区成员的反馈自动推荐学习对象、将学习对象组合到课程中的教学支持、基于网络的集成开发环境（在该环境中学习）对象可以被组装成指令，以及一种基于共同兴趣自发形成新的用户社区的方法。虽然在数字图书馆的创建方面已经取得了许多进步，但学习对象的访问和访问方式还有很大的改进空间。被大量可以访问互联网的教师和学习者重复使用但需要技术和教学支持。该项目将建立一个系统，该系统将能够更加集中和相关地访问学习对象，以创建教学，从而增强数字图书馆在促进有效的 SMET 教育方面的作用。
