Using Agents in Web-Based Constructivist Collaborative Learning System

Web-based learning systems are one of the most interesting topics in the area of the application of computers to education. Collaborative learning, as an important principle in constructivist learning theory, is an important instruction mode for open and distance learning systems. Through collaborative learning, students can greatly improve their creativity, exploration capability, and social cooperation. This paper used an agent-based coordination mechanism to respond to the requirements of an efficient and motivating learning process. This coordination mechanism is based on a Web-based constructivist collaborative learning system, in which students can learn in groups and interact with each other by several kinds of communication modes to achieve their learning objectives efficiently and actively. In this learning system, artificial agents represent an active part in the collaborative learning process; they can partially replace human instructors during the multi-mode interaction of the students.     

Optimal Response Learning and Its Convergence in Multiagent Domains

In multiagent reinforcement learning, with different assumptions of the opponents＇ policies, an agent adopts quite different learning rules, and gets different learning performances. We prove that, in multiagent domains, convergence of the Q values is guaranteed only when an agent behaves optimally and its opponents＇ strategies satisfy certain conditions, and an agent can get best learning performances when it adopts the same learning algorithm as that of its opponents.     

The Symbolic significance of the Rose in ＂A Rose for Emily＂

The short story ＂A Rose for Emily＂ draws a vivid picture of the southern descendents. It attracts readers＇ attention successfiully and makes us immersed in the whole story. And the ingenious usage of symbolism is a distinctive feature, which makes the story filled with pro- found implications. This paper intends to make a brief analysis the symbolic significance ofth erose in the short story.

Non-observance of CP and Humor Creation——Analysis of Humor in“Kung Fu Panda”

An analysis from the pragmatic perspective is conducted on the selected dialogues of the American comedy film Kung Fu Panda.It is done on the basis of the Cooperative Principle,a theory formulated by American linguist H.P Grice to show how the humorous effect is created due to the non-observance of a certain maxim of the Cooperative Principle.The pragmatic delving into humor aims to help the audience have a better understanding and appreciation of the nature of humor in this movie.

Neural correlates of short-term perceptual learning in orientation discrimination indexed by event-related potentials

The current work investigated the neural correlates of visual perceptual learning in grating orientation discrimination by recording event-related potentials (ERPs) from human adults. Subjects were trained with a discrimination task of grating orientation in three consecutive training sessions within 2 h. While reaction times (RTs) were shortened gradually across training sessions, the N1 was decreased and the P2 was increased over the parietal and occipital areas. A broadly distributed P3 was increased along with more practices. In addition, the time course of learning reflected in the P2 and P3 amplitudes was in line with the changes of reaction times and exhibited a stable level during later training. The impli- cations of these results to the neural mechanisms subserving perceptual learning were discussed.     

Fostering Language Learning Autonomy via the Computer Technology in Tertiary Education

This paper will begin by discussing the concept of learning autonomy. What follows is the rationale why learning autonomy is needed in language learning. It then will focus on the ways in which computer technology can foster language learning autonomy by checking different aspects of computer technology against the criteria that characterize leaning autonomy, followed by the analysis why this is possible in tertiary education. The conclusion of this paper will be some considerations of fostering learning autonomy via the computer technology.
