Morrison, Gary R.; Morrison, Jennifer R.; Ross, Steven M. – Center for Research and Reform in Education, 2016
For many years, researchers attempted to prove that the use of technology would improve student achievement (Morrison, 1994). Many of these assertions prompted researchers to "test" the effectiveness of these various technologies by comparing a technology such as television or computers to a teacher teaching. While a number of…

House, Ann; Boyce, Jared; Wang, Sam; Means, Barbara; Peters Hinton, Vanessa; Wetzel, Tallie – Online Submission, 2018
Purpose: The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation launched the Next Generation Courseware Challenge (NGCC) in 2014 to address the limited availability of affordable, high-quality adaptive courseware to postsecondary students. SRI International was retained to evaluate the NGCC initiative as a whole and to conduct impact studies for the NGCC…

Virtual School, Real Experience: Simulations Replicate the World of Practice for Aspiring Principals
Mann, Dale; Shakeshaft, Charol – Journal of Staff Development, 2013
A web-enabled computer simulation program presents real-world opportunities, problems, and challenges for aspiring principals. The simulation challenges areas that are not always covered in lectures, textbooks, or workshops. For example, using the simulation requires dealing--on-screen and in real time--with demanding parents, observing…

Morgan, Hani – Childhood Education, 2013
Many teachers are organizing interactive Skype sessions. By taking advantage of Skype to allow students to interact with guests outside the classroom, sometimes thousands of miles away, teachers from all over the world are creating new opportunities for students to make academic gains in a motivating way. In this article, the author discusses the…

Ellington, Aimee J.; Wilson, Jill H.; Nugent, Jeffrey S. – Mathematics and Computer Education, 2011
This article details the use of tablet PCs in a mathematics content course for future Mathematics Specialists. Instructors used tablet PCs instead of a traditional whiteboard to capture demonstration and discussion. Students were grouped for collaborative problem solving and exploration exercises. Each group was provided with a tablet PC for…

Kronholz, June – Education Digest: Essential Readings Condensed for Quick Review, 2012
People who deal with at-risk teens say dropping out is not an event; it's a process. Youngsters miss school and get "backed up" in class, so they miss more school because they're bewildered or embarrassed, and fall further behind. In the three years the 75-seat Hampton Performance Learning Center (PLC) has been open, it claims to have…

Essid, Joe; Wilde, Fran – EDUCAUSE Quarterly, 2011
Effective virtual simulations can embed participants in imaginary worlds. Researchers working in virtual worlds and gaming often refer to "immersion," a state in which a participant or player loses track of time and becomes one with the simulation. Immersive settings have been shown to deepen learning. Ken Hudson's work with students…

Baker, Ryan S. J. D.; Goldstein, Adam B.; Heffernan, Neil T. – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2011
Intelligent tutors have become increasingly accurate at detecting whether a student knows a skill, or knowledge component (KC), at a given time. However, current student models do not tell us exactly at which point a KC is learned. In this paper, we present a machine-learned model that assesses the probability that a student learned a KC at a…

Lee, Youngju – Journal of Educational Multimedia and Hypermedia, 2009
In this study, an interpretive qualitative approach was employed to explore how pre-K children interact with educational software programs. This study addressed four aspects of children's computer use: mouse manipulation, interface interpretation, level of enthusiasm or disengagement, and human interaction between peers and between a child and…

O'Shea, Patrick M.; Onderdonk, James C.; Allen, Douglas; Allen, Dwight W. – Journal of Digital Learning in Teacher Education, 2011
Education traditionally has been defined as a one-way relationship between teacher and learner. However, new technologies are dramatically changing that relationship in a multitude of ways. In this article, the authors describe some of these changes and explore one example of the intersection between technology and pedagogy, describing a college…

McCarthy, Ellen H.; Donini, Mary J. – Principal Leadership, 2009
Few issues in education are more pressing than the need to prepare students for a productive life after school. The issue is of paramount importance to the nation as well as the individual. Each week seems to bring another dire prediction that the United States and its workers will soon be competing with far better prepared workers from around the…
