Creating collaborative application sharing

not available for EP1185965Abstract of corresponding document: WO0067227A system is disclosed that provides a goal based learning system utilizing a rule based expert training system to provide a cognitive educational experience. The system provides the user with a simulated environment that presents a training opportunity to understand and solve optimally. The technique establishes a collaborative training session, including the steps of establishing a network connection between a plurality of users, selecting a mode for the network connection between the plurality of users, establishing a network connection mode between the plurality of users, and synchronizing the mode between the plurality of users. Modes of operation include application sharing, whiteboarding, media sharing, newsgroup information sharing, chatroom initiation and discussion group initiation.

System, method and article of manufacture for a goal based educational system

not available for EP1145212Abstract of corresponding document: US6018730A system is disclosed that provides a goal based learning system utilizing a rule based expert training system to provide a cognitive educational experience. The system provides the user with a simulated environment that presents a business opportunity to understand and solve optimally. Mistakes are noted and remedial educational material presented dynamically to build the necessary skills that a user requires for success in the business endeavor. The system utilizes an artificial intelligence engine driving individualized and dynamic feedback with synchronized video and graphics used to simulate real-world environment and interactions. Multiple "correct" answers are integrated into the learning system to allow individualized learning experiences in which navigation through the system is at a pace controlled by the learner. A website is linked to the presentation to provide context-sensitive information to assist the learner.

As the techniques of artificial intelligence become more widely used, an increasing number of knowledge-based design systems has been developed to handle problems that cannot be solved by traditional computational-based systems. Knowledge-based design systems are embedded with a wealth of design rules and heuristics. In addition, the architecture of knowledge-based system has features such as symbolic and structured programming, objects, rules manipulation, and ruletracing and explanation. Therefore, they are ideal candidates for development into intelligent tutoring systems (ITS). This paper explains how a knowledge-based design prototype system for progressive die design is developed into an ITS that can be used to teach authentic design activities both in the classroom and on-the-job. It illustrates how the flexibility offered in the trainee-system interaction facilitates the exploration of design alternatives and case studies to tackle open-ended design problems. The ITS uses a computer-aided design and drafting (CADD) system as the frontend and automates many of the tedious drafting, measurement, shape recognition and manipulation tasks associated with progressive die planning and design. Therefore, it promises to be a more effective training aid which can help shorten the traditionally long period of apprenticeship training program which a trainee has to follow.
