Alepis, Efthymios; Virvou, Maria – Online Submission, 2010
Mobile computing facilities may provide many assets to the educational process. Mobile technology provides software access from anywhere and at any time, as well as computer equipment independence. The need for time and place independence is even greater for medical instructors and medical students. Medical instructors are usually doctors that…

Wood, Simon; Romero, Pablo – Educational Technology & Society, 2010
Learner centred design methods highlight the importance of involving the stakeholders of the learning process (learners, teachers, educational researchers) at all stages of the design of educational applications and of refining the design through an iterative prototyping process. These methods have been used successfully when designing systems…

Wessa, Patrick – Electronic Journal of e-Learning, 2009
This paper discusses the implementation of a new e-learning environment that supports non-rote learning of exploratory and inductive statistics within the pedagogical paradigm of social constructivism. The e-learning system is based on a new computational framework that allows us to create an electronic research environment where students are…

Samis, Peter S.; Johnson, Laurence F.; Smith, Rachel S. – Journal of Computing in Higher Education, 2007
This paper provides a history of the "Pachyderm 2.0 Project," a partnership led by the New Media Consortium (NMC) and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMONA), and funded by the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS). The project brings software development teams and digital library experts from six NMC universities together with…

Farmer, Rod; Gruba, Paul – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2006
The purpose of this article is to introduce end-user development (EUD) processes to the CALL software development community. EUD refers to the active participation of end-users, as non-professional developers, in the software development life cycle. Unlike formal software engineering approaches, the focus in EUD on means/ends development is…

Cushion, Steve – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2006
We will argue that CALL can usefully be viewed as a subset of computer software engineering and can profit from adopting some of the recent progress in software development theory. The unified modelling language has become the industry standard modelling technique and the accompanying unified process is rapidly gaining acceptance. The manner in…

Haertel, Edward H. – 1996
These FORTRAN programs and MATHEMATICA routines were developed in the course of a research project titled "Achievement and Assessment in School Science: Modeling and Mapping Ability and Performance." Their use is described in other publications from that project, including "Latent Traits or Latent States? The Role of Discrete Models…

Yoder, Sharon – 1993
This book in intended for use by individuals who are comfortable with exploring new software and who want to learn LinkWay (one of a new generation of hypermedia programs) scripting. The book contains several chapters which are divided into three themes. The first part of the book is a review and starts with Chapter 0 providing a brief overview of…

Lee, Kang-Hyuk – 1991
Implementation of a computer-based model for morphological analysis and synthesis of language, entitled P-KIMMO, is discussed. The model was implemented in Quintus Prolog on a Sun Workstation and exported to a Macintosh computer. This model has two levels of morphophonological representation, lexical and surface levels, associated by…

McMurdo, George – Journal of Information Science, 1996
Describes HTML (HyperText Markup Language) and its use on the Internet's World Wide Web, including main HTML tags and their syntaxes. Alternatives to HTML, such as Adobe's Acrobat software and Sun's new Java application language, are briefly described. (Author/LRW)

Merrill, Paul F. – TechTrends: Linking Research & Practice to Improve Learning, 2005
This paper has shown how XML (extensible Markup Language) can be used to mark up content. Since XML documents, with meaningful tags, can be interpreted easily by humans as well as computers, they are ideal for the interchange of information. Because XML tags can be defined by an individual or organization, XML documents have proven useful in a…

Chang, Wen-Chih; Yang, Hsuan-Che; Shih, Timothy K.; Chao, Louis R. – International Journal of Distance Education Technologies, 2009
E-learning provides a convenient and efficient way for learning. Formative assessment not only guides student in instruction and learning, diagnose skill or knowledge gaps, but also measures progress and evaluation. An efficient and convenient e-learning formative assessment system is the key character for e-learning. However, most e-learning…

Fiedler, Rebecca L.; Mullen, Laurie; Finnegan, Margaret – Journal of Research on Technology in Education, 2009
Portfolio authoring tools within teacher preparation institutions have changed dramatically as portfolios have moved from paper to electronic formats and now to the Web. This study used Engestrom's Cultural-Historical Activity Theory (1987) to examine how portfolio tools, along with external influences and institutional contexts, mediate the…

Bunch, John M. – Journal of Information Systems Education, 2009
This paper presents a goal-based scenario approach to teaching introductory database concepts to undergraduates using two different scaffolding methods. One method, termed "worked-out examples," attempts to reduce extraneous cognitive load by requiring students to complete increasingly complex missing parts of worked out examples. The other…

Guhlin, Miguel – Technology & Learning, 2007
Open source has continued to evolve and in the past three years the development of a graphical user interface has made it increasingly accessible and viable for end users without special training. Open source relies to a great extent on the free software movement. In this context, the term free refers not to cost, but to the freedom users have to…
