Design of a Hypermedia-Based Educating System for the Construction of Knowledge
Abstract
This thesis proposes the design for an educating system which is robust to student variety. The design is founded on educational psychology, with quality principles playing a major role in establishing the design criteria. Since educating is a management-intensive activity, management cybernetics also play a key role in the design. The need for an effective educating system stems from ever-increasing requirements for learning. The Total Quality Management (TQM) program, a Department of Defense (DoD) initiative geared towards providing quality weapon systems, promises to be a learning-intensive endeavor. The Japanese have shown quality requires extensive training and continuous education. For a quality culture to take hold, all DoD members must be educated about quality. In addition, computer technology can play a major role in transforming the DoD. Before the computer can be used effectively, however, workers and managers must be made aware of the possible benefits.
