Engines for Education

The Institute for the Learning Sciences is now offering Engines for Education on the WWW. Engines, a hyper-book by Roger Schank and Chip Cleary, discusses what's wrong with the education system, how to reform it, and, especially, the role of educational technology in that reform. It describes the progress we've made at the Institute for the Learning Sciences using computers to provide motivating learning environments that let students learn things by doing them. Engines is constructed as an ASK system, a form of structured hypermedia developed at ILS based on the metaphor of a question-answer conversation.
