Williamson, Ben; Pykett, Jessica; Nemorin, Selena – Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education, 2018
Recently, technologies based on neuroscientific insights into brain function and structure have been promoted for application in education. The novel practices and environments produced by these technologies require new forms of "biosocial" analysis to unpack their implications for education, learning and governance. This article…

Bederson, Benjamin B. – Behaviour & Information Technology, 2011
Zoomable user interfaces (ZUIs) have received a significant amount of attention in the 18 years since they were introduced. They have enjoyed some success, and elements of ZUIs are widely used in computers today, although the grand vision of a zoomable desktop has not materialised. This paper describes the premise and promise of ZUIs along with…

Ifenthaler, Dirk – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2010
The demand for good instructional environments presupposes valid and reliable analytical instruments for educational research. This paper introduces the "SMD Technology" (Surface, Matching, Deep Structure), which measures relational, structural, and semantic levels of graphical representations and concept maps. The reliability and validity of the…

International Development and Research Capacities: Increasing Access to African Scholarly Publishing
Metcalfe, Amy Scott; Esseh, Samuel; Willinsky, John – Canadian Journal of Higher Education, 2009
This paper examines the evolving relationship between Canada and the African academic research community through the promotion of a concept known as Information and Communication Technology for Development (ICT4D) and with an eye to its implications for increasing the circulation of research through such means as open access (OA) publishing…

Trotter, Andrew – Education Week, 2007
Computer software that shows students visual models of mathematical concepts--and lets them manipulate those models by doing math--has a certain intuitive appeal. Now, recent research on SimCalc Mathworlds, one of the pioneering examples of such software, is providing some of the best evidence so far that the approach can lead to gains in student…

Moonen, Jef – 1987
This report considers the progress of the introduction of computer-aided learning (CAL) into the curriculum, with particular emphasis on the situation in the Netherlands. It is argued that the major obstacle to further integration of computers into the curriculum is the rigidity of existing organizational and class structures, and it is suggested…

Cooper, Martyn; Colwell, Chetz; Jelfs, Anne – ALT-J: Research in Learning Technology, 2007
This paper makes the case that if e-learning research and development projects are to be successfully adopted in real-world teaching and learning contexts, then they must effectively address accessibility and usability issues; and that these need to be integrated throughout the project. As such, accessibility and usability issues need to be made…

Hood, Paul – 1997
This document introduces simulation as a field of endeavor that has great potential for education research, development, and training. Simulation allows education developers to explore, develop, and test new educational programs and practices before communities, educators, and students are asked to participate in them. Simulation technologies…
