- Summary:
-
"A conversation simulation (sim) is a way of teaching and assessing complicated content using standard online resources. Through any learning management system (LMS), you can make the computer simulate conversation, engaging students in discussions that are infallibly on-topic, interrogative and thoughtful. While conducting a kind of discourse, the conversation simulation simultaneously performs assessment, yielding a grade that reflects the student’s engagement with critical ideas and sympathy for the syllabus. The invention of the conversation sim does not involve new software but only a thought-structure that sits within resources that already lie to hand. They operate efficiently and are as robust as the LMS itself. A conversation sim is a new educational genre that folds assessment into learning. It is efficient, effortlessly scales up to handle large numbers of students and is capable of yielding intellectual stimulation in high-order cognitive challenges. The key objective of this project has been to reveal (a) how conversation sims work, (b) how they can be built by any academic in any discipline and (c) what their advantages and limitations are."--Executive summary.
