AAAI
Fall Symposium on Education Informatics:
Steps
Toward the International Internet Classroom
Objective
Could
an international group provide free access to primary and secondary
school curricula, aligned with national, state and local standards,
delivered by our best AI tutoring technologies, in several languages,
over the Internet? The purpose of this workshop is to discuss the
feasibility of an International Internet Classroom Project,
specifically...
…to
sketch the core requirements
for such a project and the immediate needs to get the project
started.
One critical requirement is that the core should be extensible, so
researchers can incorporate and test the efficacy of their new
technologies within the infrastructure – and with the participant pool
– of the International Internet Classroom;
…to
review the available sources of content, tools, platforms, student
modeling methods, educational data mining techniques, pedagogical
strategies, modes of content delivery, and concrete experiences
deploying technology-based
education;
…to
explore the feasibility of common standards for representing content
and student data and to review previous standards efforts in academia,
the private sector, and government;
…to
build connections among people who work on related projects and sketch
a plan to build the International Internet Classroom.
We
seek papers, including position papers, from all sectors – academia,
industry and government – on all these subjects. Authors are
encouraged to present their research, systems, tools, evaluations
and
deployment
experiences in terms of and as contributions to what we hope will
become the
International Internet Classroom Project.
