There is increasing pressure to capture of video within Higher Education. Although much research has looked at how communication technologies enhance information transfer during playback of video, consideration of technical issues seems incongruous if we do not consider how presentation mode affects information assimilated by, and satisfaction of, learners with a range of individual differences, and...
Today, the rapid development of technology and Internet use has become widespread. In addition, the use of internet in education has become mandatory. The advantages provided by distance education, distance learning educational opportunities regardless of time and place has become attractive. Web-Based Training, Distance learning and remains popular. The purpose of this study is to examine the affects...
In order to boost classroom efficiency and get curriculum goals better archieved, three key points should be grasped for Multimedia teaching of General Technology. First of all, the spirit of new curriculum reform must be integrated into the course. That is to say, diverse, creative and appropriate teaching-learning activities or situations, which stimulate learners to engage or to involve in exploring,...
Many students today are visual learners and little inclined to study printed materials or text-based online courses. Animations can serve as effective multimedia tools to engage these students while facilitating and enhancing the student learning experience by explaining difficult concepts through visual means instead of the traditional way of heavy textual based presentation. The importance of animations...
Cognitive style, influenced by gender and former learning history of the learner and so on, gradually formed with various factors combined, is personalized way of distinguishing, processing and storing information. Therefore foreign language teaching should comply with the learner's gender characteristics of their cognitive styles, respect its differences, adopt matching teaching strategies, Network...
The paper describes our pilot project for detecting those factors which could affect the reading from screen. Because entire course in the computer-based education cannot be always presented with multimedia elements, it is important to make a textual part of a curriculum easy and effective to read. We present an application, developed at Subotica Tech, which purpose is to find relations between students'...
The article generally analyzes the main theories concerning selective attention and some lasest findings in this aspect, and tries to integrate such theories with multimedia-based English class teaching, as well as explores such an issue as how to present in-class information and main factors which influence classroom attention. It is believed that the presentation of instructional information in...
This paper looks at Mayer's theory on the redundancy principle and applies this theory on a computer science domain. This principle states that students learn better from animation and narration than from animation, narration, and text. The topic is on memory management in the subject of operating system concepts. In a series of two experimental studies, a total of 36 students took part in this experiment...
Learning emotion frequently generates variation in learning processes due to the affection of different learning materials or scenes. Many education scholars have pointed out that emotions are directly related to and affect learning performance. Few studies investigated the relationship between the learning emotion with learning materials owing to the difficulty of on-line assessing learning emotion...
With the development of video coding and broadband network delivery, students can learn by lecture videos through the Internet without attending the class. However, watching lecture videos alone would be boring and make the self-paced learning difficult and inefficient, since students could not be monitored by the teacher and accompanied by classmates. In this paper, we propose an adaptive video learning...
In the context of knowledge-based economy and globalization, the learning efficiency becomes very important, and multimedia technology has become increasingly widely applied to various types of teaching practice at all levels. Color is a kind of factor which has a strong emotional impact and psychological suggestion to learners in visual communication. Based on the interaction between color and learning...
Intellectual disability is often accompanied by other disabilities such as visual, auditory or motor. The mixture of these disabilities in differents degrees, become each people who have intellectual disability in an individual with very specific needs. The software tools used to support training and education are usually generalists and customization and/or expansion is often a complex process or...
This study utilized eye-tracking technology to realize how viewers processed web-based multimedia information. Eight non-science major college students participated in this study. The students' eyes were more fixated on the text than on the illustration area when viewing the web pages. The text explanations seemed to provide greater detail than the pictorial information in presenting the content knowledge...
The problems of cognitive overload have greatly influenced students' learning in multimedia and Web-based environment. The main technological factors of cognitive overload are analyzed as following: hypertext structure of information and multi-task, disturbance of unnecessary information, interaction of auditory and visual information. Cognitive theory of multimedia learning provides the theoretical...
Using the tablet PC as a lecturing device offers the instructor a new set of tools upon which their teaching can be based. Since the general student body consists of many different types of learning styles, these new tools can provide a means to reach a wider range of students than the traditional blackboard-based lectures. However, as a first step towards assessing the effectiveness of the tablet...
Visualizing and understanding engineering concepts from non-dynamic media has been difficult in the past. In this paper, two models of 3-D curvilinear cylindrical engineering members that could be visualized better in a virtual environment are discussed. These 3-D models can be used to analyze common visualization engineering problems with better understanding as opposed to the conventional method...
A number of researches have explored the effect of embodied pedagogical agents in multimedia learning environments. Embodied pedagogical agents have been regarded as practical and powerful tools for instructions in these researches. However, it is hard to find a development kits that support the instructor or teacher to create interactive learning applications together with animated pedagogical agents...
This paper introduced the design and achievement of a distance learning and teaching system which based on Internet. With the development and popularity of the internet, modern distance education emerged as the times require. Because of its opening, interactivity, practicability and instantaneity, the distance education system become one of the most important parts of modern education.
With the English teaching reform, English teachers are now paying more and more attention to improving students' English abilities, not only to some traditional knowledge. Fast reading is an important reading course during which students should put some skills into it. In daily life, people often use them everywhere when reading newspapers, charts and tables, searching for the airlines or trains,...
This paper presents a method leveraging the ubiquity of the mobile phone as an input device for immediate feedback and assessment of structured presentation delivery and learning. Human interactions within established workflow processes of collaborative sessions can be defined, allowing feedback and assessment tasks to take place in most meaningful moments. Data collected at these moments have a context...
