This highly visual and interactive presentation on designing effective user-interfaces gives practical guidelines on what works and what doesn't work in designing and developing computer-based and web-based training materials. Topics include menus,...

Ever-increasing national teaching standards and state licensing policies (e.g. ISTE, NCATE) require teachers to know more about technology integration and to use technology to improve student achievement. While teacher training in technology is not...

This paper considers the use of Knowledge Forum to complete a curriculum-based project with students enrolled in asynchronous, web-based Advanced Placement courses in Canada and the United States. Knowledge Forum is an online database that promotes ...

This paper will describe the experience of constructing web-based portfolios in a technology course for pre-service teachers. Implications for constructing portfolios around reflective and evaluative frameworks will also be discussed.

By offering a combination of intensive workshops and in-class support for elementary teachers the Technology Integration in Mathematics (TIM) project aims to help elementary teachers integrate technology into their mathematics classes. The project...

Although there has been a tremendous growth in access to computers and the World Wide Web, critical questions regarding how to select and use computers in grounded ways remain unanswered. This paper focuses on the teacher's roles in technology...

Abstract: This presentation will discuss the design and development of a computer-based instructional multimedia software program entitled "Reaction Kinetics Virtual Lab". Features of the program will be demonstrated. The software to be demonstrated ...

Information Technology (IT) challenges are intensifying. Among them, information system security, business continuity and disaster recovery planning (DRP) have quickly become the top priorities of the IT industry. Compared with other areas of...

Emerging technologies are providing means through which teachers can easily and systematically collect and analyze evidence. Video Analysis Tool (VAT) is a web-based software program that was developed as an initial instantiation of the Evidence...

This research study was designed to inform the development of a new teacher assessment model. The goal of the Teacher Success Model (TSM) initiative is to develop a systematic, evidence-informed statewide model for teacher assessment. While the...

Formative feedback is the means by which instructors improve their teaching. In higher education, the most common form of feedback is through student ratings. While useful, student ratings in and of themselves do not provide sufficient information ...

Mathematics is a core element of a student’s education. The Cold-War era “space race” pushed engineering awareness, mathematical, and scientific ability to the fore of our educational system. And yet, the United States exited the 20th century in a...

As a result of low scores on recent international assessments, the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) legislation and other globalization and economic factors, many schools are eliminating or reducing elective type courses. The rationale is that replacing...

The increasing ease and ubiquity of video has resulted in a proliferation of video annotation tools used and designed for improving education. While similar, each tool has its relative strengths and weaknesses. Choosing the 'right' tool can have a...

In an attempt to address shortcomings revealed in international assessments and lamented in legislation, many schools are reducing or eliminating elective courses, applying the rationale that replacing "non-essential" subjects with core subjects,...

The Interactive e-Atlas (IeA) has been developed to assist students with the difficult concepts associated with anatomy, physiology, radiographic imaging and other discipline-specific knowledge. The IeA is based on a series of “pages” linked...
