A Prototype Web-based Support System for Classroom Teaching

control and level of prior knowledge. The design approach takes into account the large number and different levels of individual constructs, their instability over time, spice and task, and the challenge to develop more style's versatility and flexibility. There are four scenarios metaphorically called Ready-made, Tailor-made, Self-made, and Atelier, available for a selection. Each scenario presents the content within a specific pattern of four learning events-explanation, procedures, examples and practice. SMILE Maker builds up a dynamic individual profile of a learner. It identifies learning styles explicitly or draws an inference implicitly about locus of control, prior knowledge and problem solving styles. A special functionality, called Facilitator, prompts some suggestions according to the behaviour of a learner The Collaborative On-line Research and Learning (CORAL) Team believes that classrooms, restructured to incorporate technology, should offer more than information exchange and knowledge acquisition; they should provide places where students become active learners collaborating on specific learning objectives. The CORAL model uses various technologies to connect university-level students from several distant sites. Students enrolled in different psychology courses at two universities work with peer writing assistants from a third university to collaboratively produce applied research projects. Teams use discussion boards, chat rooms, email, and video-conferencing to plan, carry out, and present their work. CORAL research indicates that this pedagogy succeeds, encouraging students to become cohesive group members despite the distance between sites, and enabling students to generate products qualitatively equal to or superior to those produced in more traditional courses. Further, this collaborative pedagogy offers students these advantages over traditional courses: opportunities to learn actively, and to improve their communication, problem-solving, and technological skills. We are developing a prototype Web-based support system for classroom teaching, called CACCE, Computer Aided Cooperative Classroom Environment. Nowadays, many teachers use Web pages as supplemental materials in the classroom, such as cultural web pages. CACCE is a Web-based software that allows teachers to have control of students' display. We plan to demonstrate CACCE with two PCs. Participants will have the chance to operate the teacher's browser and the student's browser. Participants can do the following controls the student's browser from the teacher's browser: to show specified URL, to freeze student's browser, or to show the mouse pointer to a hot point. Participants can get the configuration of CACCE and manners of it. We hope to encourage additional, creative ideas for the use of this system. We also hope, through …
