the interaction of radiation with cells and tissues has a random nature. therefore, understanding the random nature of cell killing that is determined by poisson distribution statistics is an essential point in education of radiation biology. radbiostat is a newly developed educational matlab-based software designed for computer-assisted learning of the target theory in radiation biology. altho...

Reading online is different from reading offline. Are language teachers’ strategies for reading electronic texts and reading printed texts different? Do language teachers have different attitudes toward reading printed texts and reading electronic texts, particularly web-based reading materials? Several groups of in-service language teachers enrolled in a postgraduate course on computer-assiste...

Since English has been an international language, how to enhance English levels of people by useful computer assisted learning forms or tools is a critical issue in non-English speaking countries. Past studies confirmed that reading articles with annotated contents enable knowledge sharing and improve the reading comprehension of learners. However, the self-regulated learning (SRL) ability of i...

Currently, interpretation of medical images is almost exclusively made by specialized physicians. Although, the next decades will most certainly be of change and computer-aided diagnosis systems will play an important role in the reading process. Assisted interpretation of medical images has become one of the major research subjects in medical imaging and diagnostic radiology. From a methodolog...

Reading ability of an individual is believed to be one of the major sections in language competency. From this perspective, determination of topical writings for second language learners is considered tough exam for language instructor. This mixed i.e. qualitative and quantitative research study aims to address the innovative processes in computerassisted language learning through surveying the...

The purposes of this study are: (1) to investigate students’ perceptions of computer-assisted whole language instruction; (2) to examine the effectiveness of whole language instruction on students’ reading improvement; and (3) to determine the difference between basic-level and advanced-level students’ improvement in reading skills. A total of 212 freshmen (98 low level and 114 high level stude...

In an article summarizing software used in Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) environments, Healey (1999) proposes the use of the simulation game SimCity to teach reading to English as a Second Language (ESL) learners. However, she does not elaborate upon this or give any substantive evidence of support. Some research supports Healey’s view by exploring the use of computer simulations i...
