  1. Interactive Pathway Design for Learning through Agent and Library Augmented Shared Knowledge Areas (ALASKA) Eric Hamilton Hiroshima University US Air Force Academy PerEL05 Workshop, Kauai

  2. Japan …

  3. The “SlateMate” Vision

  4. USAFA project on collaboration systems • “What you see is what I see” • Powerful model for classroom interaction • In our current research, uses Smart SynchronEyes and Acer TabletPCs

  5. Engagement: a simple pathway • Disciplinary content needs to fall within a “proximal development zone” for engagement to be meaningful and the learners must have sufficient motivation to focus their attention. These are limiting factors. • Here is a simple taxonomy

  6. Asking learners what they are doing

  7. Self-Reporting of Learner Engagement in Third Year Modeling and Differential Equation Course Table 2:

  8. ALASKA ALASKA: Agent and Library Augmented Shared Knowledge Areas, integrates three technologies: shared collaborative spaces, animated agents, and digital libraries Question: Can networks that endow and engage virtual humans help propel richer, deeper and more meaningful interaction between real humans? Hope to have a prototype this year, looking for potential test sites. “Miriam scenario” gives the clearest vision for what we are trying to do in it, and shows the 3D metaphor most clearly.

  9. ALASKA Schematic

  10. Initial Goals • Build the ALASKA Platform • Pairwise integration of the platform elements • Collaborative Spaces • Pedagogical Agents • Digital Libraries • Embed Domain Expertise • Embed Platform Extensibility • To enable a research agenda

  11. Research Questions And Extended Research Agenda • Learning Effects • Extensibility and scalability • “Interactional bandwidth” • Shifting task load over the network to increase human performance • Changing the teacher’s role

  12. Learning Flow • Often studied in context of creativity or occupational performance“Optimal performance under challenging circumstances” - Csikszentmihalyi • Engagement, enjoyment, loss of sense of time • May also be viewed through a learning lens: can learners experience classroom learning as “flow” • Impossible with chronic distractions • Can ALASKA and other approaches routinely contribute to a group flow concept?
