List of Learning Theories

Wow!!   When you are trying to design a computer system that can teach, it is sure helpful to have a list of approaches that human teachers have taken.  I was amazed to stumble upon this list! Thank you to whoever made this list!

Pedagogical Modelling

For many years, at least a decade, I have been interested in how to create models of teaching strategies - computational models of pedagogy.
