Describes the development of an interactive video simulation, the "Classroom Management Simulation," that teaches eight basic principles of classroom management to preservice teachers. Highlights include the instructional design process, including task analysis; the use of HyperCard for programming; and results of field testing. (LRW)

This narrative describes the processes and technologies employed to produce and deliver a series of complex interactive learning experiences that brought together working scientists in Antarctic and students and teachers across North America. This multifaceted program included field production in the Antarctic, the use of experimental…

"Design Inspection Reviews" are structured meetings in which participants follow certain rules of procedure and behavior when conducting detailed readings of design plans to identify errors and misunderstandings. The technique is widely used in the software engineering industry, where it is demonstrably more effective than testing at…

Discusses the use of hypermedia in education and describes the Interactive Learning and Biology project that was developed at the University of Southampton (England) to teach undergraduate cell biology. Topics addressed include authoring tools for hypermedia; a study of undergraduates learning cell motility; student attitudes; and navigation…

Today, at the end of 2007, there are evident consolidations in wireless, storage, and virtualization and the path forward seems clearer now than previously. Trends from last year continue strongly, particularly Web 2.0 and the shift to user-driven environments and Internet sites where significant data and video processing is available to those…

Reviews the technical and legal issues surrounding the use of Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) and describes authoring possibilities that can simplify the ultimate delivery of interactive video materials to language learners. Details the process of creating a DVD title in a case study at Brigham Young University. (Author/VWL)

There is much confusion about the new emerging technology called multimedia. Some experts call it the next revolution in computing. Still others in the computer field feel that this technology is just a lot of hype with new buzz words that will fade away in time. This paper reviews the origins of multimedia technology and provides a clear…

The report details development, at Southwest Texas State University and later at Pennsylvania State University, of a computer authoring system ("Libra") enabling foreign language faculty to develop multimedia lessons focusing on listening comprehension. Staff at Southwest Texas State University first developed a Macintosh version of the…

This document contains 102 one-page conference demonstrations/posters of individual research in the use of multimedia and hypermedia in education. Teaching and learning strategies and styles are addressed; multimedia applications for cooperative learning, problem solving and decision making are related. The uses of object-oriented modelling,…
