About the MANTCHI project
MANTCHI (MAN-based Tutoring in Computer-Human Interaction)
was a project funded by
SHEFC
under the Use of MANs Initiative.
It concerns remote collaborative tutorial teaching. It ran (roughly) from
January 1997 to July 1998, and was carried out by
Glasgow Caledonian University,
Heriot-Watt University,
Napier University (both in Edinburgh),
and the University of Glasgow.

Objectives
The original objectives of MANTCHI were:
- To promote and develop collaborative task-based tutorial teaching of
Human-Computer Interaction over two Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs),
ClydeNet and
EastMAN.
- To measure the educational effectiveness of this novel delivery of
tutorial support using the method of
Integrative Evaluation
developed in the TILT Project.
- To develop Answergarden-type tools trialled in the Computers in Teaching
& Learning subproject of
MARBLE 1 and in the
INTERACT TLTP project
and extend the work to remote online tutorials both using videoconferencing
and using other hypermedia techniques.
- To develop and validate principles for establishing and using this form
of tutorial support focussing on problems and potential of using the MANs.
ATOM = Autonomous Teaching Object in MANTCHI
(What are ATOMs?)
CHI = Computer-Human Interaction a.k.a. HCI
HCI = Human-Computer Interaction
HEI = Higher Education Institution (e.g. a university)
MAN = Metropolitan Area Network
MANTCHI = MAN Tutoring in CHI
TRAIL = Tertiary Reusable Atom Instantiated for Learning: meaning
stored questions, answers, and tutor feedback on them.
