The computer based tutoring is called an intelligent tutoring system, that is an interdisciplinary area including artificial intelligence, cognitive science (cognitive task analysis) and instructional design. That goes well beyond 'instructional systems' and required learning much more about cognitive science.
As for 'human systems' I include the brain and cognitive processes as part of the human system. Cognitive science is within that framework. This is not an effort to misconstrue anything. Human systems is a larger framework than biological systems. Human systems includes cognition, human performance, training systems, as well as biological and medical systems.
I understand your efforts are to protect ME/CFS patients but you really are barking up the wrong tree here.That is how editorial journalism works! What's the big deal? You are welcome to your own opinion, or to write your own article on some topic you care about.All this inquiry into my professional background has little bearing on whether what I wrote was correct. I wrote my opinion, and interviewed an expert to make up for areas I knew less about.
The problem is Kurt is that you did purport to present an authoritative opinion re a process that you state is universally the same in all branches of science.you are perfectly entitled to express your opinion on any matter.The article did not portray that your position was just your opinion.Editorila Jurnalism might work that way but scientific journalism does not.You also did not clarify that Kuhns work had either been retracted or clarified by the man himself
computer based modelling does not include research into human systems."human systems"in this case is a metaphor and not the same as human systems
Information on intelligent tutoring systems
An intelligent tutoring system (ITS) is any computer system that provides direct customized instruction or feedback to students, i.e. without the intervention of human beings, whilst performing a task. [1] Thus, ITS implements the theory of learning by doing. An ITS may employ a range of different technologies. However, usually such systems are more narrowly conceived of as artificial intelligence systems, more specifically expert systems made to simulate aspects of a human tutor. Intelligent Tutor Systems have been around since the late 1970s, but increased in popularity in the 1990s.
I think that says it all.human systems includes the action of a real brain and cognitive processes not computer simulations thereof
