ELRN 774. Elements of Artificial Intelligence in E-learning Systems. During this course students will learn how to implement intelligent tutoring and assessment elements into traditional e-learning systems. Using chosen Internet courses taught in the E-learning Center as a teaching model, students will analyze the content knowledge, technical architecture, pedagogical style and presentation format of the course. The basis of simulation models used in case-based learning will be included as part of expert system techniques. Course participants will develop intelligent heuristic modules to assess student knowledge and learning preferences. Course participants will implement these modules into authoring programs to create interactive presentations that adapt methods of instruction to individual needs of the learner. Prerequisites: ELRN 410/510 and ELRN 772. 3 credits
