The enormous developments in technology and hence the widespread use of hand-held devices in the last few decades have led to great interest in mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) as a new way of language education. MALL is considered an effective method particularly for young language learners due to their higher level of familiarity with…

This paper addresses the limited exploration of the impact of virtual and augmented reality on the learning process, particularly within the context of foreign language learning among young learners. Motivated by this research gap, the EULALIA, conducted from 2019 to 2023 (2019-1-IT02-KA203-063228), sought to evaluate the efficacy of integrating…

THE READING CENTER AT SAN BERNARDINO VALLEY COLLEGE RELATED COMPUTER USES TO FOUR ASPECTS OF ITS READING PROGRAM--DIAGNOSIS, INSTRUCTION, EVALUATION, AND RESEARCH. A SYSTEMS DESIGN FOR THE TOTAL PROGRAM WAS DEVELOPED THROUGH THE PRACTICAL CONCERNS ASSOCIATED WITH THESE FOUR ASPECTS. THE FOLLOWING ARE THE OBJECTIVES OF THE VALLEY COLLEGE PROGRAM IN…

Students learned lists of spelling words in a computer-assisted drill program where the correct spelling was printed in standard form or with spaces between letters or with spaces between pronounceable orthographic clusters. Words having sounded and unsounded medial clusters (e.g., "holiday" versus "Wednesday") were taught under each display…

This report describes the underlying premises, operations and the pilot implementation of TICCIT (Time-Shared Interactive Computer-Controlled Information by Television) system which aims to facilitate instruction and learner control via the combined use of mini-computers and color television. TICCIT courseware is organized in a hierarchical…

Many recent studies have examined the effectiveness of various types of input enhancement. The following study expands this line of inquiry to include technological applications of language learning by comparing the effectiveness of the computer application of diacritics to a traditional pen-and-paper process among beginning students of French and…

THIS DOCUMENT CONCLUDES THAT INSTRUCTION BY COMPUTER-BASED RESOURCE UNITS CAN FACILITATE LEARNING AND PROVIDE THE INSTRUCTOR WITH VALUABLE ASSISTANCE. BY PRE-PLANNING THE TEACHING-LEARNING SITUATION, RESOURCE UNITS CAN FREE THE INSTRUCTOR FOR DECISION-MAKING TASKS. RESOURCE UNITS CAN ALSO PROVIDE APPROPRIATE LEARNING GOALS AND STUDY GUIDES TO EACH…

A review of Project Themis, which focused on the computer as a teacher, is presented. Descriptions of research into four related areas of strategy are first provided. These research areas are: 1) learner strategies focusing on the internal cognitive and personality processes of the learner who is involved in computer-based learning tasks; 2)…

During the 1973 convention of the National Association of Secondary School Principals, 12 secondary school "learning how" projects in which educational technology is built into the curriculum were presented. The projects used computers, cassettes, a systems approach, and multiple methods. This newsletter gives brief details of the project…

The objective of this practicum was to apply mastery learning principles in the development of a computer-based instruction lesson on "Divisibility Rules," which was designed for students preparing for the General Education Development (GED) examination. This practicum sought to demonstrate that computer-based instruction which follows…

Computer-based education has the power to alter human thinking processes, and this change can be brought about by schools. Research is needed on methods to integrate the computer into classroom instruction. Computer based instruction can increase the student's participation in instructional systems design. (GDC)

The educational contributions and courseware design strategies which have evolved at Brigham Young University in the course of developing TICCIT (Time-sharing Interactive Computer-Controlled Information Television) are given. The Mitre Corporation and the University of Texas CAI Laboratory also cooperated in this project, which is an advance…

Adventure games designed for use on home computers are a potentially powerful instructional resource in English as a second language because they promote problem-solving using the target language and are highly motivating to students. The games, whose objective is usually for the user to defeat an obscure force and recover a precious object, are…

This paper presents a model that was developed for the categorization and evaluation of stand-alone interactive media and that now is used to contribute to a more detailed and specific educational discussion of Internet use. The paper begins with a review of the foundations on which the model is built, including software as subject, tool, or…

Research and development activities of the Computer-Assisted Instruction (CAI) Center at Florida State University during 1970 are summarized. The Office of Naval Research sponsored research in four areas: learner strategies, training strategies, validation strategies, and computer strategies. Topics subsumed under learner strategies include the…
