Peer reviewedLevonen, Jarmo J. – Machine-Mediated Learning, 1995
Proposes that a semiotic approach can be used as a supplementary method in assessing the denotations and connotations of the signs and their relationships in computer learning environments. Utilizes the semiotic framework to study visual images, especially how multiple, interactive, and manipulative statistical representations affect the…

Peer reviewedBrown, G. Z.; Novitski, Barbara-Jo – Machine-Mediated Learning, 1987
Discusses educational software under development at the University of Oregon which enables architecture students to consider energy conservation ideas early in the design process. The role of the computer in design-oriented software is described, with emphasis on creative experimentation that allows synthesis and analysis. (Author/LRW)

Peer reviewedEhrmann, Stephen C.; Balestri, Diane – Machine-Mediated Learning, 1987
Describes ways in which computers are used to help undergraduates learn through designing, i.e., various creative activities. Highlights include projects sponsored by the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE) and the FIPSE Technology Study Group (FTSG), the importance of design in curriculum, and problems with teaching and…

Peer reviewedPeterson, Nils S.; And Others – Machine-Mediated Learning, 1987
This discussion of teaching science as a design activity emphasizes open-ended problem solving. Highlights include the relationship between teachers and students; hypotheses as solutions; and descriptions of four microworlds, or computer simulations, in chemistry, geography, physiology, and genetics which use graphic interfaces. (LRW)

Peer reviewedStreibel, Michael; And Others – Machine-Mediated Learning, 1987
Describes an advice-giving computer system being developed for genetics education called MENDEL that is based on research in learning, genetics problem solving, and expert systems. The value of MENDEL as a design tool and the tutorial function are stressed. Hypothesis testing, graphics, and experiential learning are also discussed. (Author/LRW)
