Korhonen, Vesa – 2001
The main purpose of this paper is to draw attention to assumptions that guide the instructional design process when implementing and organizing network-based learning environments in practice. In this case, the situated and socially shared cognition model and participation metaphor create the guiding paradigm for collaborative learning action,…

Liu, Min – 1992
This literature review examines a hypermedia learning environment from a semantic network basis and the application of such an environment to second language learning. (A semantic network is defined as a conceptual representation of knowledge in human memory). The discussion is organized under the following headings and subheadings: (1) Advantages…

Black, John B.; And Others – 1995
This study is a key concept in making design more fruitful in education. It is proposed that what students are doing when they construct knowledge is studying. For several years, Teachers College, Columbia University and the Dalton School (an independent school in New York City), have been collaborating on the Dalton Technology Project. The goal…

Goodrum, David A.; Knuth, Randy A. – 1991
This report begins by discussing the implications of a constructivist epistemology for instructional design and development, as well as drawbacks of the content database in instruction, the lack of special tools to help the learner actively construct knowledge, and emphasis on learning environments based on individual learning. The whole learning…

Scigliano, John A.; And Others – 1988
This paper describes an electronic classroom (ECR) program that has been developed at Nova University to facilitate online real-time group instruction in graduate degree programs in information and computer science. The first section describes the educational uses of the program, including the simulation of a classroom-type educational setting…

Bates, Tony – 1986
Two uses of computers for teaching in distance education are compared and contrasted: systems based on structured, pre-programmed learning materials, or computer-assisted learning, where the learner communicates as if with the computer; and systems based on the communications functions of computers, or computer-mediated communications systems…

Waugh, Michael; And Others – 1988
Arguing that electronic networking provides a medium which is qualitatively superior to the traditional classroom for conducting certain types of problem solving exercises, this paper details the Water Problem Solving Project, which was conducted on the InterCultural Learning Network in 1985 and 1986 with students from the United States, Mexico,…

Zacher, Candace M. – 1987
This report describes the process of development of training for agricultural research, teaching, and extension professionals in how to use the Fast Agricultural Communications Terminal (FACTS) computer network at Purdue University (Indiana), which is currently being upgraded in order to utilize the latest computer technology. The FACTS system is…

Farquhar, John D.; And Others – 1996
The use of computers as a tool for learning has traditionally focused on individualized methods of instruction. Social interaction, however, is taking an increasingly important role in current learning theories and instruction prescriptions including computer-based delivery systems. Concurrent with these recommendations, global computer networks…

Mann, Edward – 1996
High tech organizations such as Storage Technology Corporation (STK), a producer of hardware and software within the mainframe, mid-range, and open systems (networked) environments, are increasingly under pressure to both reduce cycle time in bringing newer technologies to an international marketplace and produce timely and effective instruction.…

Ruokamo, Heli; Tuovinen, Heli; Tella, Seppo; Vahtivuori, Sanna; Varpu, Tissari – 2002
This paper presents the Helsinki-Lappi project (HelLa) co-run by two Finnish universities: the University of Helsinki, and the University of Lapland. The general aim of the project is to study, develop, and assess how different training programs relate to educational use of information and communication technologies (ICT). The project is expected…

Challenges and Problems in Designing and Researching Distance Learning Environments and Communities.
Chen, Ai Yen; Mashhadi, Azam – 1998
The challenges and problems in both designing and conducting research on distance learning courses are considered in light of the present cyberspace revolution. This paper discusses: the future possibilities of Internet-based learning; assumptions of online courses which are usually embedded in constructivist and socio-constructivist theories and…
