Dias, Marco Adriano; Carvalho, Paulo Simeão; Vianna, Deise Miranda – Physics Education, 2016
Image modelling is a video-based teaching tool that is a combination of strobe images and video analysis. This tool can enable a qualitative and a quantitative approach to the teaching of physics, in a much more engaging and appealling way than the traditional expositive practice. In a specific scenario shown in this paper, the Ollie trick, we…

Rey, Gunter Daniel – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2011
Students (N = 101) used an introductory text and a computer simulation to learn fundamental concepts about statistical analyses (e.g., analysis of variance, regression analysis and General Linear Model). Each learner was randomly assigned to one cell of a 2 (with or without time advice) x 3 (with learning questions and corrective feedback, with…

Arnold, Pip; Pfannkuch, Maxine; Wild, Chris J.; Regan, Matt; Budgett, Stephanie – Journal of Statistics Education, 2011
Computer simulations and animations for developing statistical concepts are often not understood by beginners. Hands-on physical simulations that morph into computer simulations are teaching approaches that can build students' concepts. In this paper we review the literature on visual and verbal cognitive processing and on the efficacy of…

Using Business Performance To Evaluate Multimedia Training in Manufacturing.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Lachenmaier, Lynn S.; Moor, William C. – Performance Improvement, 1997
Discusses training evaluation and shows how an abbreviated form of Kirkpatrick's four-level evaluation model can be used effectively to evaluate multimedia-based manufacturing training. Topics include trends in manufacturing training, quantifying performance improvement, and statistical comparisons using the Mann-Whitney test and the Tukey Quick…

Kreuter, Matthew W.; Black, Wynona J.; Friend, LaBraunna; Booker, Angela C.; Klump, Paula; Bobra, Sonal; Holt, Cheryl L. – Health Education & Behavior, 2006
Finding ways to bring effective computer-based behavioral interventions to those with limited access to technology is a continuing challenge for health educators. Computer kiosks placed in community settings may help reach such populations. The "Reflections of You" kiosk generates individually tailored magazines on breast cancer and…

Key Aspects of a Computerized Statistics Course.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Wells, Karin L.; Marsh, Lawrence C. – Journal of Computing in Higher Education, 1997
Looks at ways in which computer-assisted instruction transforms three traditional aspects of college teaching: lectures are replaced with multimedia presentations; homework becomes electronic, with instant grading and detailed explanations; and traditional office hours are replaced with electronic mail, list-serv, and live screen interaction…
