Studying discourse and dialogue with SIDGrid
Gina‐Anne Levow · 2008
Teaching Computational Linguistics is inherently multi-disciplinary and frequently poses challenges and provides opportunities in teaching to a student body with diverse educational backgrounds and goals. This paper describes the use of a computational environment (SIDGrid) that facilitates interdisciplinary instruction by providing support for students with little computational background as well as extending the scale of projects accessible to students with more advanced computational skills. The environment facilitates the use of hands-on exercises and is being applied to interdisciplinary instruction in Discourse and Dialogue.
