Through Efficient Use of LORs: Prospective Teachers' Views on Operational Aspects of Learning Object Repositories
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Yalcinalp, Serpil; Emiroglu, Bulent – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2012
Although many developments have been made in the design and development of learning object repositories (LORs), the efficient use of such systems is still questionable. Without realising the functional use of such systems or considering the involvement of their dynamic users, these systems would probably become obsolete. This study includes both…

Evaluation of the Use of Computer-Assisted Management Information Systems in Dutch Schools.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Visscher, Adrie J.; Bloemen, P. P. M. – Journal of Research on Computing in Education, 1999
The extent of school information systems (SIS) use, factors promoting successful SIS implementation, and the effects of SIS use were studied in Dutch secondary schools. Findings indicated that SIS use is not of the same intensity for all SIS modules and is not equally distributed across all types of respondents. (AEF)

Evaluation of the Implementation, Use and Effect of a Computerised Management Information System in English Secondary Schools.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Visscher, Adrie; Wild, Phil; Smith, Debbie; Newton, Len – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2003
Sophisticated computerized school information systems (SISs) will have to provide school-based information relevant to the development of policies in areas where schools used to merely follow governmental guidelines. The large-scale research project in England, reported in this article, goes some way toward filling gaps in the knowledge on the…

Computer Use by Rural Principals.
Witten, D. W.; And Others – 1990
Very little research is available nationwide that measures the administrative use of computers in rural schools. A state survey of 154 rural Kentucky secondary school principals (representing a 51% response rate) focused on their knowledge about computers and use of computers for school administrative purposes. Only 14% of respondents had a…

Virtual Learning Environments.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Follows, Scott B. – T.H.E. Journal, 1999
Illustrates the possibilities and educational benefits of virtual learning environments (VLEs), based on experiences with "Thirst for Knowledge," a VLE that simulates the workplace of a major company. While working in this virtual office world, students walk through the building, attend meetings, read reports, receive e-mail, answer the telephone,…

Telecommunications and MIDI.
Beckstead, David – Teaching Music, 1996
Explores the educational possibilities inherent in combining Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) with communications technology. A MIDI system (a combination synthesizer and computer) allows students to compose, record, experiment, and correct at one site. A MIDI file can be sent via e-mail to others for comments. (MJP)
