In the framework of an educational experiment in optimizing teaching by the audio-tutorial method, which implies frequent and non-periodic evaluation of each student's progress, it is necessary to have a computer system to realize three main objectives : (a) easy preparation of multiple questionnair

β¦ Synopsis
Many recent attempts to improve the quality of learning have concentrated upon increasing and improving the individual contact between the teacher and the student. This individual contact may be either "tutorial" (controlled by the teacher), or "Socratic" (controlled by the student).
A computer-based system must be capable of providing both of these modes of instruction, and of shifting from one mode to the other as required by a given situation.
The problems of implementing a computer-based systemare discussed. Specific attention is paid to problems of structuring material, of student interfacing and of monitoring and evaluating the student's performance.
The Leeds system of matching the student's constructed responses is described, with particular reference to the recognition of "character strings", the problems of word-and letter-redundancy, and the use of a synonym facility. Examples are given of its use in second-language teaching and in the teaching of techniques for clinical examination and diagnosis.

This paper proposes a genetic-algorithm-based learning strategy that models membership functions of the fuzzy attributes of surfaces in a model based machine vision system. The objective function aims at enhancing recognition performance in terms of maximizing the degree of discrimination among clas
## Abstract An inquiryβbased learning (IBL) approach was used as the model of instruction in one of three sections offered annually to large introductory occupational therapy classes in a Canadian university during 1994/5, 1995/6, 1996/7. Students' final grades in this preβentry course form part of
## Abstract This chapter provides an overview of the movement toward competencyβbased learning models. It is this new paradigm that will ultimately redefine the roles of faculty, institutions, and accreditors.
