Abstract:

This document contains the domain-independent instructional strategy to teach a cognitive strategy and its associated instantiation for a visualization strategy in the domain of weather. Further, rules and implementation suggestions are provided to support a design for an implementation of an intelligent computer-assisted instruction ICAI program to teach approximately an hour of the domain of advection. Advection is the process that transports atmospheric properties e.g., temperature by the wind. Advection is usually used to describe large-scale horizontal movement in the atmosphere. The vertical motions of the atmosphere can be inferred by finding the proper advection patterns. Ultimately, it is the vertical motions in the atmosphere that produce the changes in weather.
