TLDR
The methodology is based upon Petri Nets and is oriented to maximize the possibilities of control and individualization provided by CAL and may be used as a common basis for different learning strategies.Abstract:
This paper discusses a methodology for representing the subject matter for CAL dialogue. The methodology is based upon Petri Nets and is oriented to maximize the possibilities of control and individualization provided by CAL. Simple examples show how to build a content representation and how the same structure may be used as a common basis for different learning strategies. “The language of computation has become the proper dialect for discussing the basic issues of both psychology and education” (Goldstein and Papert).read more

Case Study:: Supporting the Structuring of Personal Knowledge with Computers
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that schools cannot predict future needs and consequently equip students today with the cultural baggage that they will need tomorrow, however, they can be asked to provide students with the necessary "mental tools" to cope with probable situations in the future.

Structured Representation of Knowledge by Petri Nets as an Aid for Teaching and Research
TL;DR: Petri nets are used to illustrate statements and dependencies in a lucid and precise way as mentioned in this paper, and examples are given to indicate how this graphical representation can be used to convey information.

The Theoretical Bases of the Elaboration of Teaching Programmes
TL;DR: The most reliable psychological basis is the theory of gradual mastering of the mental processes, which facilitates an active approach to the analysis of learning processes (Gal'perin, 1958 and 1965) as discussed by the authors.
