This case study discusses the design, implementation, and results of a series of collaborative Japanese language-learning sessions conducted synchronously and asynchronously via the Internet among globally distributed, cross-institutional teams of students. MUD/MOO-like team-room scenarios required that students engage in more extensive use of language skills than would be required in usual classroom work. This virtual classroom design provided a naturalistic environment for computer assisted language learning (CALL) while motivating students to adapt more readily to interaction with peers in a varied, complex, and uncertain environment. At the same time, the tasks to be accomplished provided students with the opportunity to engage in virtual teamwork with peers in a challenging and enjoyable problem-solving and decision-making context. Within this framework, AI techniques that enhance team memory, sustain workflow processes, and employ user/learner models will play an imp ortant role in the near future. |
