Luyben, Paul D.; Warden, Katherine B. – Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 2009
Although generalization from training to practice is one of the most important goals of education, generalization oftentimes does not occur spontaneously and deliberate planning is necessary. One way to enhance generalization to real-world settings is to build in similarities between training and test situations by including video in training.…

Bishop-Clark, Cathy; Dietz-Uhler, Beth; Fisher, Amy – Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 2007
Web-based distance learning is a relatively new approach in higher education which is gaining in popularity. Because a Web-based classroom is so different than a traditional face-to-face classroom, the variables that influence success or satisfaction with such a course may be different than those in a face-to-face course. We investigated whether…
