Description:Excerpt from Computers and the Learning Process In order to discuss the impact of computers on learning, it is important to understand the learning process - the manner in which people obtain and assimilate knowledge. I would argue that one must have a working model of the learning process if one is to design computer systems to assist it. A significant point is that we all do have implicit models of what learning is, and therefore, how computers can assist this process. And each of us uses his or her implicit model when we design computer systems to assist learning. The real need in the field, I believe, is to make these models explicit. Only then can we lay bare the assumptions upon which each of us bases the fundamental design of our computer-based learning aids. These assumptions, as noted later, are critical - for they hugely influence the type and exact form of the computer tools that we design to assist the learner. This paper presents some conclusions that Michael Scott Morton and I have come to as a result of reviewing the literature in the field of technology-assisted learning, and also of working in the field for several years (albeit at intervals). A much more expanded version of this paper, which I trust will fill in the many chinks these few pages leave open, will be available soon in the book Computers and the Learning Process in Higher Education, by Michael and myself. This will be published in the Carnegie Commission series on Higher Education. The search for a precise model of the learning process is a difficult one.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
