TITLE:         Situated Learning: A Sketch and the  Implica-
               tions

WHO:           Clark N. Quinn

WHEN:          1-2pm, Friday, 15 May, 1991

ABSTRACT:      Both empirical and theoretical approaches are
               suggesting a new view of learning that, while
               incorporating  elements  of  the  traditional
               schema model, differs in particular emphases.
               Related to the "situated cognition"  movement
               that  is  currently sweeping AI and Cognitive
               Science, there are similar repercussions  for
               cognitive  models.   In  this  talk I lay out
               several  influences,  sketch   a   conceptual
               framework for thinking about learning in this
               view, and  derive  several  implications  for
               computational  applications.   I'll also dis-
               cuss some ideas on the role  of  non-situated
               cognition and learning.

WHERE:         Rm 212, Samuel Building,  University  of  New
               South Wales. Enter off Botany Street, stop at
               gate and  ask  grey  men  for  day  pass  and
               instructions.  Park  in  the main car park on
               your left.  The Samuels bulding is  the  gray
               building   directly  behind  the  gates  with
               strange shield-like objects over the windows.
