Building Intelligent Interactive Tutors discusses educational systems that assess a student's knowledge and are adaptive to a student's learning needs. The impact of computers has not been generally felt in education due to lack of hardware, teacher training, and sophisticated software. and because current instructional software is neither truly responsive to student needs nor flexible enough to emulate teaching. Dr. Woolf taps into 20 years of research on intelligent tutors to bring designers and developers a broad range of issues and methods that produce the best intelligent learning environments possible, whether for classroom or life-long learning. The book describes multidisciplinary approaches to using computers for teaching, reports on research, development, and real-world experiences, and discusses intelligent tutors, web-based learning systems, adaptive learning systems, intelligent agents and intelligent multimedia. It is recommended for professionals, graduate students, and others in computer science and educational technology who are developing online tutoring systems to support e-learning, and who want to build intelligence into the system. - Combines both theory and practice to offer most in-depth and up-to-date treatment of intelligent tutoring systems available - Presents powerful drivers of virtual teaching systems, including cognitive science, artificial intelligence, and the Internet - Features algorithmic material that enables programmers and researchers to design building components and intelligent systems
This amazing book leads you out of the old paradigm of The Material Model that makes change so difficult, into the revolutionary new paradigm for the 21st century --The Energy Model that makes change easier and more harmonious. In addition, VIBRATIONAL HARMONY… Clarifies the little-understood relationship between what you want, the Universal Laws (laws of energy and physics that govern your life), your mind, your subconscious programming, and what you actually get. Explains the workings of your awesome mind – conscious, subconscious and Superconscious - and teaches you how to overcome its resistance to change, so you can live the life you desire. Shows you how the Universal Laws of Vibration, Polarity, Rhythm, Cause and Effect, etc., operate, so you can be on harmony with them and create and attract what you want. Correlates and integrates ancient wisdom and metaphysics with modern psychology, leading edge science and quantum physics, so you can see the “threads” that run through all true teachings. Ends confusion and frustration by filling in “gaps” and “missing links” in the massive amount of often conflicting teachings. Describes the exciting new field of mind-body healing called Energy Psychology and shows you how to use extremely effective, yet simple, healing techniques. Most importantly, VIBRATIONAL HARMONY gives you powerful tools and techniques, plus step-by-step processes to release your negative beliefs, emotions and programs and “reprogram” yourself to create and attract more success, health, happiness, peace of mind...whatever YOU want! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Vibrational Harmony: The Real Secret of Success, Health and Happiness Beverly Nadler, CMT, CH Trafford Publishing, 255 pages, (paperback) $17.48, 978-1466919594 (Reviewed: August, 2012) Six years ago, Rhonda Byrne, an Australian television writer and producer, authored the wildly popular self-help book, The Secret, in which she instructed readers on how to tune into life-affirming energy and achieve limitless success. Dozens of books have since been released promising similar results. Beverly Nadler’s Vibrational Harmony joins the list, and despite the glut, it’s a welcome addition. What makes Nadler’s book worthy is her clarity in explaining what might otherwise be a complex concept. “Everything is energy – and ‘everything’ includes you,” Nadler writes. “Your energy field… radiates into the Universe and attracts the people, things, events, situations and circumstances that your vibrations are in harmony with, and these become ‘your life’.” It follows that good energy attracts positive results. Negative energy? Not so much. Comparing the brain to a computer, Nadler seamlessly leads her readers through a five-stage course of “reprogramming,” which includes “Awareness, Identification, Releasing, Installing and Integrating.” There is nothing “woo-woo” about Nadler’s approach. She offers step-by-step instructions on how to relinquish a “Material Model” in which our thinking is negative and full of limits and substitute it for an “Energy Model” which, among other benefits, guarantees “Spiritual communication and Divine intervention,” as well as the ability to heal physical problems from cold symptoms to pain.

Today’s emphasis on student learning outcomes, coupled with federal legislation to that end, has placed more demands on the role of the principal than ever before in our nation’s history. To address the heightened demands for greater accountability for student learning, The Principalship uses a learning-centered approach, one that emphasizes the role of the principal as the steward of the school’s vision: learning for all. The critical aspects of the teaching–learning process are addressed here, including student motivation; individual differences; classroom management; assessing student learning; and developing, maintaining, and changing school culture. In addition, several topics not found in other principalship texts are addressed, including school safety, special education, gifted education, bilingual education, nontraditional organizational structures, gender-inclusive theories, diversity, ethics, political and policy context, human resource management, legal issues, and collective bargaining. The book is documented extensively throughout and grounded in the latest research and theory with suggestions for applying theory to practice, reflecting cutting-edge research and topical issues facing principals in schools today.
