Abstract: Web technology has made it possible for the Internet to penetrate a large proportion of American society. The educational sector has lagged behind the progress curve, however. This lag in the application of technology in education is due to not only financial reasons but also because education is more than information delivery and simulation. To teach a student via the Web, at least two components are required: a human computer interface that resonates with the student and artificial intelligence that understands specific areas of knowledge and applies appropriate responses. It is in this content that we study an asynchronous learning environment, CyberprofTM, where we apply several fundamental complex systems paradigms to human computer interaction: nonlinear resonances applied in a Digital Mirror, dynamical reconstruction applied in a Field-Specific Tutor and control of chaos applied in a Five Senses Human Computer Interface. To measure the effectiveness of the new learning environment we propose to use a Differential Concept Analysis (DCA). In DCA we monitor student's actions step by step, determine which concepts the students are using, in which sequence the concepts are used, and if the students are able to substitute and alter the sequence of the applied concepts.
