The following paper is a reprint of a report presented to the Schreyer Institute for Innovation in Learning concerning the use of expert systems for meterological predictions as a learning tool. At the bottom of this page there are links to some of the student-created expert systems.
Students learn how to better predict by reviewing their forecasts and learning from their errors.
Students can learn the best to predict by showing others how to forecast. This was the basis of the innovation, to use 'expert system' software as a vehicle of internal instruction, both for the student learning on their own and for the value of assessing their understanding of subject matter by their peers and instructors. Discussion Groundwork 1. The purpose of this innovation was to help students learn the complexity of weather prediction by having them isolate a single element and develop techniques to predict it. The development of a technique was accomplished using expert system software which helped them gain 'operational experience' while in a classroom environment.
