an article by Claire Kenny and Claus Pahl in International Journal of Knowledge and Learning Volume 4 Number 1 (2008)
Abstract
In addition to knowledge, in various domains skills are equally important. Active learning and training are effective forms of education. The authors present an automated skills training system for a database programming environment that promotes procedural knowledge acquisition and skills training. The system provides support features such as correction of solutions, feedback and personalised guidance, similar to interactions with a human tutor. Specifically, they address synchronous feedback and guidance based on personalised assessment. Each of these features is automated and includes a level of personalisation and adaptation. At the core of the system is a pattern-based error classification and correction component that analyses student input.
Hazel's comment:
Looks interesting from the abstract but I'd need to read the full article to appreciate the nuances of the system proposed. I've noted this to read in the British Library but it may take a month or so before it arrives.
