Case-based task management for computer-aided learning

Abstract

Recently computer-supported planning has benefited from Case-based reasoning techniques for reuse of plans, and proposals are presented here for a case-based planning component to be used for selection and sequencing of learning experiences in a case-based teaching environment. We present a Task Manager that uses retrieval and adaptation methods to generate a tailored set of learning experiences in response to a user's specification. We also discuss Instructional Design Theory and Goal-Based Scenario, which are used to specify the classification system, including similarity and functional knowledge, on which the task manager operates.
