> September 3, 1993.  The workshop is aimed at exploring the relationships among
> current cognitive models of human learning, machine learning, and AI-based
> teaching models and systems.  In particular, it will address such questions
> as:
> 
> What do models of human and machine learning tell us about effectively
> structuring teaching environments in a variety of tasks and domains?
> 
> Conversely, what does our knowledge of conditions and methods for effective
> teaching tell us about human, and potentially machine, learning?
> 
> What is the best role for individual examples or cases in teaching and
> learning?  When and how should general rules be given to students?
> 
> What is the relationship between student models in teaching systems and models
> of human and machine learning?  What is the proper role of student modelling
> in teaching?
> 
> How can issues of motivation be addressed in teaching systems?
> 
> What should the relative roles of content issues and architectural issues be
> in our models of teaching and learning?
> 
> How does technology (e.g., the use of simulation or multimedia) affect our
> ability to construct effective teaching systems?
> 
> 
> Format:
> 
> The workshop program will include both invited and submitted papers.
> Presentations will be organized into a number of thematically coherent panels
> to encourage discussion.  In order to encourage the broadest possible
> participation, the workshop program will also include a poster session.  For
> the same reason, researchers and students who wish to attend the workshop
> without presenting a paper or poster are encouraged to do so.
