Chinese as a second language (CSL) learning has attracted more attention and supporting learners with adaptive resources becomes difficult. Some online systems recommended pre-designed resources from existing databases while the resources could not match learners' context. Designing resources dynamically according to learners' needs could be a…

Reflection is considered as a mental process of an individual's internal problem-solving activity and rarely observed in face-to-face instruction. As a consequence, students have few opportunities to observe and learn from each other. This study aimed to arouse students' reflection on both self-correction (one's own problem-solving process in…

NLS-SCHOLAR is a prototype system that uses artificial intelligence techniques to teach computer-naive people how to use a powerful and complex editor. This new kind of computer assisted instruction system integrates systematic teaching with actual practice, keeping the user under tutorial supervision while allowing him to try out what he learns…

This paper focuses on aspects of e-government with emphasis on how local authorities are coping with the transition into the Information Society. E-government is reviewed in the flight of such topics as a social inclusion, security and e-democracy. The challenge has been set in the United Kingdom for local authorities to deliver 100% of services…

Companies are using new learning technologies for training, such as interactive multimedia, electronic just-in-time performance support, and the Internet. These methods change the role of the trainer to that of enabler of learning and performance enhancer. (SK)

A description of an on-line and interactive programing system (TICS - Teacher-Interactive-Computer-System), which is aimed at facilitating the authoring of interactive, instructional computer programs by persons who are experts on the subject matter being addressed, but not necessarily programers.

Outlines the enhancement of a learning technique by the deployment of a novel multimedia learning system (MMLS). Presents a detailed overview of the MMLS starting from the content development flow to the implementation stage. This project is being launched at the Multimedia University Malaysia. Macromedia Dreamweaver and Macromedia Flash were used…

We present principles for the design of an online system to support computer algebra enabled questions for use within the teaching and learning of mathematics in higher education. The introduction of a computer algebra system (CAS) into a computer aided assessment (CAA) system affords sophisticated response processing of student provided answers.…

Suggests that writing centers should become campus leaders in the development and use of computers for writing, and should form reciprocal partnerships that require trust, commitment, and open communication. Argues that through successful collaborative projects like computer writing classrooms and online writing labs, writing centers help to shape…

This work describes a framework that combines techniques from Adaptive Hypermedia and Natural Language processing in order to create, in a fully automated way, on-line information systems from linear texts in electronic format, such as textbooks. The process is divided into two steps: an "off-line" processing step, which analyses the source text,…

The Education Network of Ontario (ENO) is a telecommunications corporation creating an access and applications network for and by Ontario's 130,000-member education community. When educators register with ENO, they receive full industry-standard Internet and Intranet services in English and French. ENO/REO works from school or home. Statistics…

Logical communication structures organize basic telecommunications services to meet the aims and requirements of groups working on the Internet. This article clarifies logical communication structures within an educational context and illustrates how the communication requirements of work or study groups correspond to a variety of…

Computer software designed to help college students of history think like historians is described. The software enables students to search for patterns in large bodies of evidence using interactive access, through a map interface, to historical county-level United States census data. The software and a history course in which the software has been…

An approach to teacher inservice training in the use of computer-based learning is described in this paper, with specific discussion devoted to the development of a videotape training module by the Hertfordshire Advisory Council for Educational Technology (HACET) to demonstrate the role of educational technology, and in particular microcomputers,…

Prepared for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA), this report contains 59 recommendations for research and development in support of computer-assisted instruction (CAI). The guidelines were derived from interviews with 14 leading education researchers. They cover the following learning and instruction variables: (1) learning…
