CSE 590D Winter 2007
Computer-Based Learning Environments
Focus this quarter: GAMING AND INTELLIGENT TUTORING SYSTEMS:
HOW CAN ITS BE MADE MORE ENGAGING?
Faculty coordinator: Steven Tanimoto;
Meeting location: CSE 203 (in the Paul Allen Center for Computer Science and Engineering)
Meeting time: Wednesdays 2:30-3:20 (Moved by request from 3:30-4:20).
Topic:
This quarter the seminar considers the
relationship between game-playing and online learning.
One particular issue is
incorporating aspects of gaming into intelligent
tutoring systems in order to increase students'
degree of engagement in learning.
Format:
The activity format of the seminar is reading and
discussion. Each week, we read a recent paper from the literature
or study a particular website,
and one person volunteers to present a summary of the paper
or website and
lead the discussion. This quarter, most of our
readings will be
drawn from online archives and project websites.
Registration:
Students should register for one credit. CSE graduate students can
register directly online. Other graduate students should send me
(tanimoto at u) an
email request for registration that I can forward to the CSE advisors.
There are no prerequisites, but advanced undergraduates interested in
the seminar should talk with the faculty coordinator.
