Item Metadata only Ledger accounts using packages - the experience of the accounting degree at Leeds Polytechnic(Chartered Institute of Management Accountants, 1990) Margerison, JohnItem Metadata only Applied artificial intelligence for teaching numeric topics in engineering disciplines(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 1996) Patel, Ashok; KinshukThis paper presents a model of Computer Integrated Learning Environments (CILE) as adopted by TLTP Byzantium and the role of an Intelligent Tutoring Tool (ITT) within this model. It reviews the implementation of artificial intelligence, discussing the methodology used in storing the knowledge rules and their application by the inference engine. An ITT is a fine grain tutoring tool that provides for learning as well as assessing the conceptual knowledge with the help of a student model, a remote expert model and a local expert model. The dominant consideration in the design of an ITT is to keep the feedback short and simple and to drop to a finer grain size, through a suitable interface, wherever necessary. Other aspects of the ITT design are also discussed and some of the main features and weaknesses are identified.Item Metadata only Auditor licensing in the European Union: a comparative study based on cultural differences(European Accounting Association, 1996) Margerison, John; Moizer, P.Item Metadata only Small business management – business planning(Thomson Learning, 1998) Margerison, JohnItem Open Access Hyper-ITS: A web-Based architecture for Evolving and Configurable Learning Environment(Aravali books International (P) Ltd. Network for Staff and Education Development, 1999) Kinshuk; Patel, Ashok; Russell, DavidThe World Wide Web facilitates co-operative teaching and learning, offering an exciting potential for sharing both the learning resources as well as the tasks of creating new learning resources through international collaboration. The mainstay of the web so far, the Hyper-text and Hyper-media offer a link based flexible architecture where addition, amendment and removal of material is relatively easy. This allows incremental construction and upgrading of web based systems to facilitate division of large tasks, easier prototyping and the ability to selectively update various learning resources to keep them current as well as to take advantage of improving technologies. This paper proposes a web based architecture for intelligent tutoring systems that extends similar benefits to designing interactive learning, particularly with reference to Cognitive Apprenticeship Based Learning Environments (CABLE). Since the acquisition of cognitive skills is critical for learning any applied discipline, there will always be a need for interactive learning environments where the learner can practice to acquire new skills and to improve the grasp over any theoretical learning. Since the current web based learning systems cannot adequately provide for interactive learning that is supported by dynamic feedback, it is important to extend the benefits of the traditional ITS to the web based systems through a modular architecture supported by authoring tools and an indexing mechanism for the repository of the various tutoring components.Item Metadata only Knowledge Representation and Processing in Web Based Intelligent Tutoring. Artificial Intelligence in Education - Open Learning Environments: New Computational Technologies to Support Learning, Exploration and Collaboration(IOS Press, Amsterdam, 1999) Kinshuk; Patel, AshokThis paper presents an Internet based intelligent tutoring applications architecture to enable co-operative teaching and learning in numeric disciplines. The architecture allows sharing of resources available world wide and provides customisation of these resources to suit to local requirements and thereby allows a typical teacher to develop small Intelligent Tutoring Applications (ITA). These ITAs can then be combined in various configurations to create complex Internet Based Intelligent Tutoring SystemsItem Metadata only Multiple Representation Approach in Multimedia based Intelligent Educational Systems.(IOS Press, Amsterdam, 1999) Kinshuk; Oppermann, R.; Patel, Ashok; Kashihara A.The paper describes the Multiple Representation approach for presenting multimedia technology within intelligent educational systems. the implementation of the approach is dependent on the adopted educational framework. in theis paper, it is discussed for systems using cognitive apprenticeship framework for task oriented disciplines where major focus remains on cognitive skill acquisition. The paper describes the application of approach in the design of InterSim system, which provides learning of structure and functionality of human ear.Item Metadata only Assessment in a Cognitive Apprenticeship Based Learning Environment - Potential and Pitfalls(Kogan Page Staff and Educational Development Association, 1999) Patel, Ashok; Russell, David; KinshukThe Cognitive Apprenticeship-Based Learning Environments (CABLE) approach to designing tutoring systems is very popular, especially within the applied domains where learning is more concerned with the operational knowledge. Since CABLE can accommodate both the 'instruction' and 'construction' of knowledge and involves active engagement it has been more successful as demonstrated by the popularity and wide acceptance of simulation-based tutoring systems. A CABLE-based Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) provides powerful learning and assessment opportunities, however, merely tagging assessment functionality on to a system designed for teaching may be unsatisfactory. The assessment system needs to be considered separately. Though the use of information and communication technology for assessment has come a long way, there are even more exciting possibilities ahead, provided we are cognizant of the possible pitfalls arising from the manner in which the technology is applied.Item Metadata only Financing renewable energy: creating the right package of incentives for a level playing field for commercial electricity production from wind turbines.(Chartered Institute of Mangaement Accountants, 1999) Russell, David; Patel, AshokItem Metadata only Intelligent tutoring tools for cognitive skill acquisition in life long learning.(International Forum of Educational Technology & Society, 2000) Patel, Ashok; Russell, David; KinshukItem Metadata only Marketing in English professional football clubs.(De Montfort University, 2000) Hudson, David; Herbane, B.Item Metadata only A multi-institutional evaluation of intelligent tutoring tools in numeric disciplines.(International Forum of Educational Technology & Society, 2000) Patel, Ashok; Russell, David; KinshukItem Metadata only Implementation Issues in Web-based Training(Education Technology Publications, 2001) Kinshuk; Patel, AshokWeb-based training systems (WTBS) can relatively easily be designed as muliti-sensory systems, offering flexible navigation through different parts and types of information. They allow relative ease of modification and extension, facilitating incremental design and improvement strategies for creating instructional resources. A further advantage is that both the training resources as well as the tasks of their creation can be shared across geographical distant regions. For vocational and workplace training, it is possible to provide rich contextual information for situating what is learned and thus enable rapid and relevant knowledge construction by trainees.Item Metadata only Cost accounting.(Financial Times/ Prentice Hall, 2001) Russell, David; Wilkinson-Riddle, G.

This paper discusses an undergoing project at Massey University, which is incorporating a 'Human Teacher Model' in an ITS prototype to teach Japanese. The project identifies the teacher attributes and formulates them into a coherent teacher model. They are then applied in the prototype, which offers adaptivity to teacher at two levels: presentation based adaptivity and navigation based adaptivity. we believe this work will substantially improve the applicability of ITSs in real academic environment.Item Metadata only Role of human teacher in web-based intelligent tutoring systems.(Distance Education Association of New Zealand, 2001) Patel, Ashok; Oppermann, R.; Russell, David; KinshukItem Metadata only Regulation - the movie: a semiotic study of the periodic review of UK regulated industry(2001-06-01) Crowther, David; Cooper, Stuart; Carter, Cynthia
