Intelligent Tutoring SystemsThe ultimate form of simulation, intelligent tutoring systems are computer-based instructional systems that model the 1) content to be taught, 2) instructional models of what and how to teach and 3) feedback mechanisms to correct student errors. Thus, intelligent tutoring systems simulate the content and process of learning.
There are two distinct types of e-learning.
Consider the following example: Text or narration tells you about a particular device. You're exposed to its features, told why the features are important, and shown how the components interact. Finally, a test asks you to identify the device, its components (or the concept and related ideas), and the functions they fulfill.
Now, consider a different example. A picture or video thrusts you into a realistic scenario. The situation is described, and you're given descriptions of possible outcomes. Whether the results are good or bad depends on your actions. You make decisions, as each branches into additional choices.
The first example is one of traditional e-learning, the second is an example of scenario-based e-learning.
Scenario-based learning is similar to the experiential model of learning. Learning seldom takes place by rote. Learning occurs because we immerse ourselves in a situation in which we're forced to perform. We get feedback from our environment and adjust our behavior. We do this automatically so that we hardly notice we're going through a learning process.
