远程学习支持新发展与知识工程

New Trends of Distance Learning Support and Knowledge Engineering

随着网络等双向通信技术在远程教育中的应用，交互逐渐成为远程学习的重要因素，这种变化使得原来以支持独立学习为主的学习支持以满足远程学习的需求，实践发展需要一种具有智能性和交互性特征的，支持交互、协作和社区文化的学习支持，因此，这就需要借鉴和吸收其它学科的理论和方法。知识工程是源于专家系统而形成的一门研究人类智能及人类知识的机理，以及如何用机器仿真人的智能并促进人类知识发展的学科，该领域的研究为学习支持在交互和智能化方面的研究提供了重要的技术和方法基础。因此，本文提出远程学习支持的新特征和关键研究领域，并重点探讨了知识工程有关领域在支持未来远程学习支持相关技术的研究和开发方面的潜力。作者希望本文能够对远程学习支持的理论和研究提供新的视角。

The use of computer networks in distance education raises opportunities of instructional interaction in distance learning， and interaction is becoming a more and more important element of distance learning. Such change challenges the current status of learning support research and practice based on supporting independent learning. There is a requirement for a kind of distance learning support supporting interaction， collaboration and community characterized by interactivity and intelligence. Knowledge Engineering is a discipline derived from expert system research and focused on human intelligence and knowledge mechanism study. This discipline is supposed to provide crucial technology and methods for research on instructional interaction and intelligent tools or systems. Based on this， the paper proposes some new trends of distance learning support and explores the potential of knowledge engineering relevant study domains to support and drive the development of distance learning support in future. The author hopes it ca provide a new perspective on the distance learning support study.
