Abstract
This paper presents an approach for combining web-based learning (WBL) with problem-based learning (PBL), aiming at computer aided learning (CAL) support for introductory lectures to Computational Linguistics. Contrary to most current learning paradigms, we neither follow the "platform + content"-approach of current learning management systems used for distance learning, nor focus on the collaborative aspects of PBL. Instead we propose a text-centred concept for individual learning featuring problem-based interactive learning applications (TIP).
Highlights
There is no doubt that learning in groups is in general more fun, often more stimulating, and sometimes more successful than learning individually
The following section reviews how problem-based learning (PBL) can be integrated into computer aided learning (CAL) and vice versa
In addition to that we propose to closely connect lecture notes and problem-based parts, which means that links to the latter are properly placed in their theoretical context within the former
Summary
There is no doubt that learning in groups is in general more fun, often more stimulating, and sometimes more successful than learning individually This simple insight is reflected in the computer supported collaborative work (CSCW) tools omnipresent in class-management systems (e.g., WEBCT, cf www.webct.com) and web-based learning (WBL) platforms (e.g. MILCA, milca.sfs.uni-tuebingen.de). It is corroborated by the results of the new problem-based learning (PBL) paradigm which is essentially a collaborative work learning strategy used together with a new concept of teaching (Rhem 1998). In the following we will first elaborate on PBL in some more detail and will describe our "TIP approach", i.e. Text-centred, Individual-oriented, Problem-based CAL
