Computer Science (31) This project adapts the student modeling component of the ASSERT system developed at the University of Texas at Austin to build an adaptive, online laboratory manual for Computer Science II, an entry level data structures course. The main problem with the existing laboratory manual for CS-II is that the predetermined problem sets do not account for CS-II student's diverse levels of understanding of previous concepts. An adaptive intelligent tutoring system can provide effective tutoring that is tailored to the needs of the individual student. An accurate student model could capture a student's current understanding of materials covered. Adaptive guidance using the captured student model during problem solving can encourage cognitive processes that stimulate learning and discourage counter-productive student activities. A user-friendly interface is a key feature of this project. The dynamic nature of personalization makes the design of the interface very important. Poor presentation can cause confusion and frustration rather than improving a student's learning process. The development of a new interface that will expedite effective student interaction as well as ease of interaction for teachers to the databases used to maintain teaching materials and student modeling information is central to this project.

计算机科学 (31) 该项目采用德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校开发的 ASSERT 系统的学生建模组件，为计算机科学 II（入门级数据结构课程）构建自适应在线实验室手册。现有 CS-II 实验室手册的主要问题是预定的问题集没有考虑到 CS-II 学生对先前概念的不同理解水平。自适应智能辅导系统可以根据学生的具体需求提供有效的辅导。准确的学生模型可以捕捉学生当前对所涵盖材料的理解。在解决问题过程中使用捕获的学生模型进行适应性指导可以鼓励认知过程，从而刺激学习并阻止适得其反的学生活动。用户友好的界面是该项目的一个关键特征。个性化的动态特性使得界面的设计非常重要。糟糕的演示可能会导致混乱和沮丧，而不是改善学生的学习过程。该项目的核心是开发一个新界面，该界面将加快有效的学生互动，并简化教师与用于维护教材和学生建模信息的数据库的互动。
