E-Learning becomes widely spread in the past few years because it enables learner to participate in anytime, anyplace personalized training. Designing rich E-Learning environment is an important factor to enhancing the effectiveness of web based education. Therefore the necessity of evaluating the web based E-Learning content is arising. The evaluation of E-Learning content is beneficial for learner...
Emergent order in complex dynamic systems is a concept that is both important to a wide variety of fields of science and difficult to understand and teach. Recent advancements in interactive and tangible interfaces point towards the possibility of new tools which can help with both the analysis and simulation of complex systems, while also making the systems dynamics more approachable and easier to...
Development of the educational technology in field of the engineer's training have received great attention in recent years. The new information technology will significantly improve the methods of technical discipline teaching and thus level of the engineering students. This paper describes the results of IT using for virtual course creation and presents the structure of multimedia laboratory course...
The purpose of this research paper was to demystify: 1) a convergence of Augmented Reality (AR) technology as an educational multimedia and instructional design principles and 2) a divergence of learning outcomes and findings based upon the utilization of Augmented Reality 3D pop-up book, namely The Seed Shooting Game. This AR 3D pop-up book employed a storytelling technique for teaching English as...
The eLearning Department of the Institute for Computer Science and Control, Hungarian Academy of Sciences (MTA SZTAKI) has become a key player of the domestic eLearning market in recent years. This role is based on its multimedia technology experience in different areas of eLearning, including research, expertise, product and content development. The present document summarises the guidelines of the...
Nowadays distance learning becomes more and more popular because it is an economical, flexible and self-adaptive form of education. Collaborative learning environments provide users (both learners and instructors) conditions for better communication and cooperation. Moreover, multimedia content due to its friendliness is preferred in such environments as it enhances the learning process. Such environments...
Recently, reading disfluency has been used as an instructional strategy. Contradictory to conventional belief, it assumes fonts that are difficult to read may enhance the recall of text messages. Positive outcomes have been reported with a manipulation of disfluency with English fonts. This study focused on the effect of disfluency by varying Japanese kanji fonts for students who are learning Japanese...
As students become increasingly more reliant and absorbed in technology, the new technology roles in their lives have affected many aspects of their learning traits. Some researchers have confirmed that the learning habits of today's youngsters are very different from that of their parents and teachers. The educational demands of this new century require new ways of thinking, teaching and learning...
Students' learning performances are susceptible to their cognitive abilities, such as working memory capacity (WMC). WMC is very limited and can be easily overloaded in learning activities that require complex cognitive tasks. This study aims to provide teachers with meaningful recommendations for designing and improving learning contents and learning presentation based on students' WMC. Our previous...
The study proposes a new interactive-video e-learning system, and the experiment targets are medical interns. The medical interns are necessary to learn through a variety of clinical cases. The system provides the function of case-based multimedia teaching materials. The medical records are depending on different cases, and instructors can online upload and edit them. The record includes text, image,...
This paper focuses on oral English teaching via multimedia based on computer technology. Teaching approach, methods, and specific teaching design will be illustrated in this paper. By introducing multimedia into oral English teaching, the effectiveness of in-class teaching is believed to be improved. This paper will provide teachers and researchers with a good sample of oral English teaching in class.
Modern high-tech products are being more widely used in College English teaching. PowerPoint presentation software is one representative of them. So while English teachers are using multimedia tools to design courseware to make presentations in teaching, is it practicable to enable students to make their own work by using presentation software such as PPT to finish their traditional English exercises...
This article describes the University basic computer course in support of the network platform of auxiliary teaching, I proofread carried out the reform of the teaching mode, from lecture-based teaching paradigm shift for teachers, just to play a guiding role in the teaching process, and then teaching mode, supplemented by a self-learning, to provide an independent learning platform, the use of metacognitive...
The educational technology is used at all levels of education. In the USA educational technology studies are already established. In German speaking countries the term “didactics of informatics” is used to cover ICT topics. Other countries rather use “didactics of computer science” to describe the special didactics discipline. It is evident that teachers of informatics or teachers of computer science...
The paper introduces the ideas, implementation and results of the “Innovative Methodology for Promising VET Areas” (IMProVET) international project within the Lifelong Learning / Leonardo da Vinci / Transfer of Innovation program. The main goal of the project is substantial improvement of education at technically oriented vocational secondary schools in five European countries through development...
<?Pub Dtl?>There are large amounts of digital video available. High recall retrieval of these requires going beyond the ranked results, which is the common target in high precision retrieval. To aid high recall retrieval, we propose Active Bucket Categorization, which is a multicategory interactive learning strategy which extends MediaTable <citerefgrp><citeref refid="ref1"/>...
In this paper the authors present the results of implementing tablets (iPads) in the learning process. The tablet (iPad) is transforming teaching and learning at all levels and completely reorganizes the educational environment. It provides interactive learning supported by the Internet and other multimedia, thousands of free educational applications which makes learning easier and more fun, real...
In order to deepen the understanding of the nature of first language acquisition, we carry a longitudinal recording of speech production of twenty-three Mandarin-speaking children from one year old to four years old at Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) in Beijing since 2009. The interactive communication between children and parents is recorded in both audio and video mode. Apart from longitudinal...
This paper examines the efficacy of Felder-Silverman's learning styles and Mayer's generative theory of multimedia learning for adaptive hypermedia using three different modes of presentations-verbal, visual, and multimedia- in history and engineering disciplines. Six modules in history and engineering were designed in verbal, visual and multimedia modes. Hundred and four undergraduate students of...
To counter the growing lack of experts in the IT sector, and to give, at the same time, a possibility for lifelong learning, a consortium of north German universities has initiated the project “Computer Engineering Online”. The goal is to develop and to publish an eLearning online study program for computer engineering in winter 2012. Referred to the blended learning strategy, the bigger part of the...
