Zettinig, Peter; Aleem, Majid; Majdenic, Danijela; Berry, Michael – Journal of Management Education, 2022
Graduates of international business (IB) programs are facing a complex dynamic world in which they need both specific and generalist knowledge they can activate in socially negotiated situations. Their competencies must go beyond narrowly applying knowledge, which requires open minds, transferable social competencies, and skills for crossing…

Lozano-Guerrero, Antonio José; Valenzuela-Valdés, Juan Francisco – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2015
This paper presents a new course, Radionavigation Systems, whose laboratory and theoretical components complement each other to enhance student learning. Radionavigation skills and knowledge are taught by means of various instructional methods, and the laboratory successfully merges hands-on learning using specific instrumentation and software…

Latham, Luke G., II; Scully, Erik P. – American Biology Teacher, 2008
Evolutionary processes can be studied in nature and in the laboratory, but time and financial constraints result in few opportunities for undergraduate and high school students to explore the agents of genetic change in populations. One alternative to time consuming and expensive teaching laboratories is the use of computer simulations. We…

Goldstain, Ofir; Ben-Gal, Irad; Bukchin, Yossi – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2007
This work proposes an approach to remote learning of robotic cells based on internet and simulation tools. The proposed approach, which integrates remote-learning and tele-operation into a generic scheme, is designed to enable students and developers to set-up and manipulate a robotic cell remotely. Its implementation is based on a dedicated…

Cleaver, Thomas G. – 1985
Design of computer circuits used to be a pencil and paper task followed by laboratory tests, but logic circuit design can now be done in half the time as the engineer accesses a program which simulates the behavior of real digital circuits, and does all the wiring and testing on his computer screen. A simulated laboratory in digital logic has been…

Kurtz, Barry L.; O'Neal, Micheal B. – 1994
This paper describes a National Science Foundation-sponsored project at Louisiana Technological University to develop computer-based laboratories for "hands-on" introductions to major topics of computer science. The underlying strategy is to develop structured laboratory environments that present abstract concepts through the use of…

Bartlett, Robin L.; King, Paul G. – 1989
The techniques used for teaching college economics have remained relatively unchanged over the past few decades. These techniques do not give the students an opportunity to apply, to develop, or to practice the economic theory they read about and hear in lectures. They tend to reinforce student assumptions about the subject's "givenness"…

Langer, Victor – New Directions for Continuing Education, 1987
Describes a three-year project to design a program in high technology at Milwaukee Area Technical College. The school and 11 area industries collaborated in program design and implementation. The purpose of the program is to train or retrain high school graduates to install, operate, and maintain technological systems. (CH)

Copeland, Willis D. – Journal of Teacher Education, 1989
Fostering teachers' clinical reasoning as a reflection of their understanding of classrooms should be a central purpose of any modern teacher education program. This article presents a rationale for and description of a proposal for pre-student teaching laboratory experiences which utilize computer-based simulations to facilitate development of…

King, Paul G.; LaRoe, Ross M. – Journal of Economic Education, 1991
Describes the liberal arts, computer laboratory-based economics program at Denison University (Ohio). Includes as goals helping students to (1) understand deductive arguments, (2) learn to apply theory in real-world situations, and (3) test and modify theory when necessary. Notes that the program combines computer laboratory experiments for…

Schiffman, Shirl S. – Educational Technology, 1986
This first of two articles presents eight examples of what software infusion (SI) looks like in actual practice in elementary, middle, and high school classrooms and learning laboratories. An analysis of SI characteristics demonstrated in the examples is presented to bring the definition of SI into focus. (MBR)
