Sun, Yu-Lin – ProQuest LLC, 2010
The Chinese writing system has traditionally organized the typographic text vertically, with one square-shaped character placed on top of another. With the influence of globalization, an increasing number of reading materials have been presented in the Western horizontal format, including school textbooks for children in Taiwan. This study looked…

Li, Frederick W. B.; Lau, Rynson W. H.; Dharmendran, Parthiban – International Journal of Distance Education Technologies, 2010
Existing adaptive e-learning methods are supported by student (user) profiling for capturing student characteristics, and course structuring for organizing learning materials according to topics and levels of difficulties. Adaptive courses are then generated by extracting materials from the course structure to match the criteria specified in the…

Dawson, Phillip – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2010
This article presents an argument for the use of networked interactive whiteboards (NIWBs) in regional Australian higher education and identifies new pedagogies for this context. Most Australian universities operate multiple campuses, and many use video conference facilities to deliver courses across these sites. For students at remote video…

Scheuer, Oliver; Loll, Frank; Pinkwart, Niels; McLaren, Bruce M. – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2010
Argumentation is an important skill to learn. It is valuable not only in many professional contexts, such as the law, science, politics, and business, but also in everyday life. However, not many people are good arguers. In response to this, researchers and practitioners over the past 15-20 years have developed software tools both to support and…

Bower, Matt; Hedberg, John G. – Computers & Education, 2010
This paper presents a quantitative approach to multimodal discourse analysis for analyzing online collaborative learning. The coding framework draws together the fields of systemic functional linguistics and Activity Theory to analyze interactions between collaborative-, content- and technology-related discourse. The approach is used to examine…

Prangsma, Maaike E.; Van Boxtel, Carla A. M.; Kanselaar, Gellof – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2008
Many pupils have difficulties with the abstract verbal information in history lessons. In this study we assessed the value of active construction of multimodal representations of historical phenomena. In an experimental study we compared the learning outcomes of pupils who co-constructed textual representations, visual-textual representations, or…

Sundresh, Sameer – ProQuest LLC, 2009
How do you dynamically customize the programming language available in a context within an existing system, without changing the underlying system? This dissertation introduces a language design approach that addresses this problem. The basic idea is to structure programs as systems of multiple interacting levels of abstraction, where all of the…

Costagliola, Gennaro; Fuccella, Vittorio – International Journal of Distance Education Technologies, 2009
To correctly evaluate learners' knowledge, it is important to administer tests composed of good quality question items. By the term "quality" we intend the potential of an item in effectively discriminating between skilled and untrained students and in obtaining tutor's desired difficulty level. This article presents a rule-based e-testing system…
