Maggi Savin-Baden – Journal of Problem Based Learning in Higher Education, 2024
This reflection provides an introduction to, and reflection on, the new text "Rethinking Problem-based Learning for the Digital Age" (Savin-Baden and Fraser, 2024). It begins by telling the story and rationale for the creation of the book and then provides an overview of the text of the whole. The next section discusses the purpose of…

Saultz, Andrew; Fusarelli, Lance D. – Journal of School Choice, 2017
In this controversy piece, we portray online learning as growing too fast for existing regulatory structures to oversee and generally as having failed to live up to its potential. Operators, particularly for-profit operators, have generally not produced successful schools. We urge reforms of cyber schooling funding mechanisms, data systems, and…

Shaughnessy, Michael F.; Fulgham, Susan M. – Educational Technology, 2016
Sigmund Tobias came to the United States in 1948, after his family had fled to China from the Holocaust in Europe. His Memoir ("Strange Haven: A Jewish Childhood in Wartime Shanghai") describes that part of his life. He settled in New York, where he completed his B.A. and M.S. in School Psychology from the City College of New York, and a…

Bell, David – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2009
There is currently widespread interest in exploring the opportunities to develop learning that can be delivered in three-dimensional multiuser virtual environments (3-D MUVEs). In this paper, I argue for the need to conduct research into the emerging cultures of use in 3-D MUVEs, focussing on the example of Second Life. Drawing on social and…

Flexser, Arthur J.; Tulving, Endel – Psychological Review, 1993
This article shows that D. L. Hintzman's criticism of the Tulving-Wiseman function is based on an unjustified assumption that is implicit in his simulation procedure, an assumption that is at variance with empirical facts. A more appropriate hypothesis makes the discrepancy between average maximum and algebraic maximum disappear. (SLD)

Besner, Derek; And Others – Psychological Review, 1990
The parallel distributed processing model of visual word recognition in reading developed by Seidenberg and McClelland (1989) is extended through simulation. A response by Seidenberg and McClelland recognizes merits of the expanded model and outlines requirements for supplanting their original model. (SLD)

Hintzman, Douglas L. – Psychological Review, 1993
Simulations show effects of variability on the maximum contingency that can be displayed by an average 2 X 2 table. Results help explain the regularity known as the Tulving-Wiseman law, as well as conditions under which exceptions are found. Dangers posed by variability and Simpson's paradox are discussed. (SLD)

Allchin, Douglas – American Biology Teacher, 2005
Computer programs and models are used to express respect for life by not sacrificing any animal but these alternatives might be deeply flawed. Alternatives to dissection are perverse alternatives that tend to preserve the features of inappropriate dissections like destructiveness, reductionism and objectification.

Wilks, Clarissa; Meara, Paul; Wolter, Brent – Second Language Research, 2005
This article explores some critical methodological and theoretical issues that emerge from recent research into word association behaviour in second language (L2) learners. The studies that we discuss here all use computer simulations as a tool to investigate L2 lexical networks, and to compare these networks with those of first language (L1)…

Casey, Amy C. – Teaching Music, 2005
The challenge for educators today is to overcome this barrage of media and technology and find innovative ways to help students learn. But, how can teachers compete for student attention when this is the challenge? How can they improve learning experiences and make them relevant to our students' lives? Integrating technology into the music…

Milheim, William D. – Machine-Mediated Learning, 1995
An overview is provided of current trends in virtual reality research and development, including discussion of hardware, types of virtual reality, and potential problems with virtual reality. Implications for education and training are explored. (Author/JKP)

Stanley, T. D. – Evaluation Review, 1991
W. M. K. Trochim and others defend the record of the regression-discontinuity (RD) design and blur the statistical tests for treatment effect. Their Monte Carlo results show the problematic nature of RD and its potential bias. New testing strategies and restrictions for the application of RD are proposed. (SLD)

Bollier, David – 1993
This report summarizes the roundtable on information technology which brought together leaders from business, government, the non-profit sector, and academia to explore the use of complex adaptive systems as a model for determining information technology's role in both the workplace and diverse societal settings. Topics covered in this document…

Peterson, Nils S.; Jungck, John R. – Academic Computing, 1988
Discusses the advantages of using content specific problem solving as a vehicle for undergraduate instruction in biology, and describes different software tools used to implement this model. The areas discussed include simulated laboratories, the construction of binary classification schemes using computer programs, and scientific writing using…

Collis, Betty A.; And Others – Educational and Training Technology International, 1994
Discussion of the portability of educational software for an international market focuses on international experiences with The Electronics Workbench, based on a study conducted at the University of Twente (Netherlands). The global importance of educational software portability is discussed, including economic motivations and implications for…
