| Title: | A Digital Market Place for Education | ||||
| Abstract: | We describe a web-based Educational MarketPlace that matches student requests to available and appropriate resources. We address technical issues such as: 1) resource acquisition and data mining techniques to facilitate access to large-scale educational repositories; 2) negotiation, contract execution and verification of instructional resources, and 3) digital repository testbeds to evaluate agent behavior. Societal issues include understanding web-based educational interactions, individual learning processes and organizational dynamic in the distributed, digital instructional realm. The Educational MarketPlace is different from other Internet spaces in that it requires independent scoring of resources and certification of teaching. This paper discusses these issues and the open learning environment where a learner has choices; it describes how the Internet might replace the existing education monopoly and help dissolve the cottage industry of education in which a teacher handcrafts materials fixed by space and time. | ||||
