Yung‐Hui Chen, Lawrence Y. Deng · Advances in intelligent systems research/Advances in Intelligent Systems Research · 2006
Since the instructional activities are implemented on cyberspace, how to control behaviors of students and to increase the degree of communication awareness has been a challenging issue.This paper presents an advanced Petri Net model to analyze and supervise of the web-based multiple participants in virtual environment.We proposed a system based on the scaffolding theory.Behaviors of students are supervised by an intelligent control system, which is programmed by the instructor under our generic interface.Problems of providing the multi-user interaction on the Web and the solutions proposed by the Petri Net model are fully elaborated here.This paper can be used as a basic/fundamental research framework and tools to study and understand the characteristics of e-learning and to explore its optimal education application.
