Repenning, Alexander; Ioannidou, Andri; Luhn, Lisa; Daetwyler, Christof; Repenning, Nadia – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 2010
Growing science apathy at the K-12 education level represents an alarming development with potentially devastating consequences at individual, societal and economic levels. Technology has been incorporated in science education without fundamentally improving test scores or student attitudes. We claim the core of the problem is how technology is…

Ochoa, Theresa A.; Gottschall, Holly; Stuart, Shannon K. – Journal of Educational Multimedia and Hypermedia, 2004
Special education policy requires schools to make disciplinary decisions concerning students with disabilities within a multidisciplinary team. In order to respond to this mandate, teacher educators must ensure that teachers have group collaboration and decision making skills. This article describes a multimedia problem-based learning module…
