Short Description

Abstract 1: Teamwork trust plays an important role in a collaborative online learning environment. Understanding factors contributing to a better teamwork trust experience for students helps instructors prepare appropriate teaching strategies. The purpose of the study was to understand the relationships of teamwork trust and learner-centered teaching strategy, cognitive presence, and social presence. The results indicated that learner-centered teaching strategy, cognitive presence, and social presence were positively related to teamwork affective trust and cognitive trust.

Abstract 2: This presentation will explain the process design of peer tutoring by using the drawing peer’s concept map. Peer tutoring can be more effective for the tutor than tutee in that tutor can reflect and reinforce their knowledge through rehearsal. In contrast to the tutor, there are relatively less chances for the tutee to explain and review the knowledge. Thus, this presentation will suggest the activity for improving a tutee’s participation by drawing a peer’s map during listening to the explanation.

Abstract 3: Dialog between a machine tutor and a student is just as vital as the conversations between human tutors and students. Formerly, machine tutors were vastly inferior due to the superiority of human dialog. While machine-human dialog is still inferior to human conversation, one of the two key barriers to parity, the problem of voice recognition, has largely been solved. Now, let’s overcome the second problem, generating intelligent dialog, and create effective machine tutors?
