Constructivism: the idea that the learner learns by constructing / modifying his pre-existing models of the world. It's how I learn everything, and I don't know how other people do it.
Active Learning in AI
I have been known to ask too many questions during class, and to be hated for that: my questions would improve my understanding, but they were not the questions other students wanted answered.
Interactive Learning Environments:
Anchored Interactive Learning Enviroments
I dream of building a system where students can teach themselves interactively, in other words a medium to replace the static book as a learning tool. One idea: possible questions at several points in the presentation. How to implement this? Have thousands of people read the presentation line by line, and have them write down the question when it comes to them. These FAQs will be sprinkler throughtout the paper. Learners can choose which questions they want answered. Of course, a free-question answering system may be better, but in non-formalized domains, this would require human-level AI.
I am aware, however, that much of the motivation for learning comes from interacting with a HUMAN teacher. Likewise, much of my motivation for writing this blog is the fact that I have readers who I want to please / to whom I want to show off, etc. Again, fooling the user here requires passing the Turing test.
