Hilliam, Rachel; Calvert, Carol – Open Learning, 2019
Students from many different subject areas are required to study statistics as part of their qualification. The Open University developed a statistics module which could simultaneously be studied by students from a variety of different disciplines, by engaging them with topics which are of interest to everyone, namely money, education and health,…

Brusilovsky, Peter; Yudelson, Michael; Hsiao, I-Han – Journal of Educational Multimedia and Hypermedia, 2009
The paper analyzes three major problems encountered by our team as we endeavored to turn problem solving examples in the domain of programming into highly reusable educational activities, which could be included as first class objects in various educational digital libraries. It also suggests three specific approaches to resolving these problems,…

Kordaki, Maria – Computers & Education, 2010
This paper presents both the design and the pilot formative evaluation study of a computer-based problem-solving environment (named LECGO: Learning Environment for programming using C using Geometrical Objects) for the learning of computer programming using C by beginners. In its design, constructivist and social learning theories were taken into…

Honey, Margaret A. – 1990
Noting that formative research on educational computer software has traditionally focused on comprehensibility, appeal, and usefulness, this report argues that these three elements tell us very little about the actual role that the formative researcher plays in the instructional design process. This paper outlines the complexity of the tasks and…

Patterson, Amos C.; Bloch, Bobbie – Educational Technology, 1987
Presents an instructional development model that incorporates formative evaluation techniques, and explores the possible application of the model in developing computer-assisted instruction courseware. Advantages and disadvantages of this approach are identified and implications for research on formative evaluation are discussed. (31 references)…

ChanLin, Lih-Juan; Okey, James R. – 1991
Traditional formative evaluation of computer assisted instruction (CAI) products has focused on assessing learner achievement of objectives and the inferential use of this information to make revisions. A more comprehensive approach to formative evaluation includes traditional learner achievement assessment but adds assessments of the development…

Chandra, Peter – 1988
The design team approach to the development of computer based learning (CBL) courseware relies heavily on the effective communication between different members of the team, including up-to-date paperwork and documentation. This is important for the accurate and efficient overall coordination of the courseware design, and for future maintenance of…

Chou, Chien – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 1999
Describes the design and development of the Computer Logging of User Entries (CLUE) system for evaluating computer network-based learning courseware, or Web-based distance-education courseware. CLUE is an innovative evaluation system that combines computer-logging techniques with self-reporting methods used widely in the field of formative…

Darabi, G. Abbas; Dempsey, John V. – Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 1990
Describes a quality control system for a curriculum-based, computer-based instruction (CBI) program that was developed by Florida State University's Center for Educational Technology (CET) for the U. S. Army's Job Skills Education Program (JSEP). Flow charts are presented and explained for each stage of the system. (six references) (LRW)

McLean, Robert S. – Education and Computing, 1989
Proposes 13 trends that educational software development should follow. Four main areas are considered: (1) the computing environment, including hardware and networking; (2) software design, including learner control and hypermedia; (3) the user, or learner, including group activities; and (4) the software development process, including…

Beevers, Cliff; And Others – British Journal of Educational Technology, 1989
Describes a learner-centered revision class for undergraduate mathematics students at a Scottish university that used computer-assisted learning (CAL) and added an element of formative evaluation. The Computer Aided Learning in Mathematics (CALM) Project is explained, CALM software is discussed, and their influences on teaching strategies are…
