Mobile devices create learning opportunities to which you cannot remain indifferent. If you combine these capabilities to specific needs of students and teachers, you will be on the path towards academic success. It was in this context that Letrinhas arose, an information system aimed at improving students' reading literacy developed by the Polytechnic Institute of Tomar (IPT) in response to a challenge...
This article presents an Interactive Multimedia Application developed as an alternative support for education professionals and students Race of Engineering Grade in which it requires make use of different branches of mathematics, with specific focus on analytic geometry, allowing greater agility and quickness on the understanding abstract concepts. This Interactive Multimedia Application was developed...
This paper discusses findings from two studies and aims at raising awareness about the missed opportunities caused by the little adoption of non-linear narrative in learning and assessment activities. Data gathered from a longitudinal study about museum learning practice and from a semester-long investigation, conducted with circa 60 Multimedia design students, reveal that non-linear narrative is...
Etextbooks offer the potential to change the way faculty teach and students learn. One approach to providing etextbooks enables faculty to custom tailor traditional "flat" paper textbooks from major publishers by embedding videos and annotating them with comments. We conducted a lab study in which participants read a chapter in a computer networking book either in paper form, or using an...
We conducted two experiments to examine the effects that prior knowledge and different types of animation have on student understanding. Students were identified as either low or high prior knowledge from a series of questions asked in a prior knowledge survey conducted on computer science undergraduate students. The subject domain chosen for this study is a topic taught to undergraduates in the field...
This document describes the preparation and implementation of online educational activities in Industrial Informatics subject taught in the Industrial Engineering degree specializing in Industrial Electronics, where two tutors teach. The course lasts two semesters. One professor teaches in the first half and another in the second. The activities are implemented in the second semester. This document...
Researchers have been searching for alternatives in teaching programming subjects. A reason to this is due to the fact that the compulsory subject in the field of Information Technology has been a challenge and they are tough subjects to learn. On top of that, lacking the understanding in concepts has reduced undergraduates' interests to pursue further exploration and self-experimentation. In this...
With the development of information technology, the infusion of multimedia into education has altered considerably the instructional strategy in education institutions and changed the way teachers teach and students learn. So aiming at multimedia technology applied for modern teaching and learning, the relevant concepts and unique characteristics was firstly explored, and then the multimedia design...
The use of multimedia technologies in education has enabled teachers to simulate final outcomes and assist students in applying knowledge learned from textbooks, thereby compensating for the deficiency of traditional teaching methods. Thus, it is important to examine how effective these technologies are in practical use. The current study developed online learning-teaching resource platforms using...
Virtual learning community give students more free and open environment for studying on the Internet. This research is based on constructive learning theory and virtual learning community, from design and speciality of virtual learning community, and the ways of browsing.
Interactive multimedia content can help improve learning performance by enhancing user satisfaction and engagement. Multimedia content also can help improve concept representation, which is not possible in conventional multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank formats. In this article, we present a broader view of multimedia education, focusing on future applications. Our vision is to provide publicly...
The term of blended learning was coming to the field since 2001 for replacing the traditional E-learning. This paper investigates the way of how to integrate the idea of blended learning into the practice of teacherspsila professional development. The issues discussed in the paper include our pilot study, principles, and content modules with learning method and training implement programs. The educational...
Thanks to the attractions of the multimedia, namely interactivity and multimodality, it seems that web sites and CD-ROMs have the capacity to transmit heritage information to the public. But ultimately they miss real cognitive or educational purposes. Consequently, this article suggests enriching the conception of educational products, combining the potential of video games with the methods of representation...
