This paper describes a model for design of web-based learning system which is guided by two fundamental, and somewhat contrasting, design themes: problem-based interactivity; and progressive scaffolding. It is proposed that effective systems should...

The purpose of this research was to examine the impact of affective intensity of a virtual reality (VR) training environment on learning, as demonstrated by performance within a "real life", affectively intense environment. Participants completed a...

The purpose of this experiment was to compare two types of media scaffolds as a part of a learning system for teaching web development. Twenty students were given the task of creating an interactive web page using the web editor Dreamweaver©. They...

The purpose of this experiment was to compare three different formats for presenting example problems within Basic Engineering Web-Based learning modules. After seeing a lecture over the shear flow concept on-line, students in a Basic Engineering...

Virtual Environments (VE) are currently being developed and evaluated as an alternative for educating and training first responder personnel. The methods being developed offer a more realistic alternative to lectures, manuals, and traditional...

The goals of this project were to: a) carry out the evaluation of a learning system for teaching Civil Engineering students to use Geographic Information Systems software within the context of relevant problems and b) explore the efficacy of...

At the heart of the design of any form of education media is establishing the learning objectives. When the media is an augmented reality system, establishing learning objectives is closely associated with requirement analysis for the system. This ...

The purpose of this research was to conduct an applied evaluation of a web-based learning system used to teach civil engineering concepts using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The principal goals of the evaluation were to determine the overall ...

An evaluation of a web-based e-learning system to facilitate integration of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) into the Civil Engineering curriculum was conducted. The principal goals of the evaluation were to determine the overall effectiveness ...

The emergence of read/write web approaches in learning and teaching has implications for the professional development of teachers in Higher Education. This paper describes the integration of such approaches in a professional development program ...
