This paper describes the concept for a Webbased, database supported e-Learning Test, Examination and Assessment System, called TEASE, that can be used via the Internet and is therefore suitable for both local and remote examination preparation as well as for examination within lab courses (entry test) or during lectures (big online exams in lecture halls). Another topic of this contribution is ...

Introductory neurobiology courses face the problem that practical exercises often require expensive equipment, dissections, and a favorable student-instructor ratio. Furthermore, the duration of an experiment might exceed available time or the level of required expertise is too high to successfully complete the experiment. As a result, neurobiological experiments are commonly replaced by models...

Central nervous system (CNS) prophylaxis has led to a significant improvement in the outcome of patients with acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL). Liposomal cytarabine (Enzon Pharmaceuticals, Piscataway, NJ; Skye Pharma, San Diego, CA), an intrathecal (IT) preparation of cytarabine with a prolonged half-life, has been shown to be safe and effective in the treatment of neoplastic meningitis. Liposo...

Many of the computational linguistics classes at Ohio State draw a diverse crowd of students, who bring different levels of preparation to the classroom. In the same classroom, we often get graduate and undergraduate students from Linguistics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering and other departments; teaching the same material to all of these students presents an interesting challenge to ...

The mStar environment for distributed education utilizes the WWW and IP-multicast to enable teacher-student collaboration over large geographic distances. Several educational projects, spanning from secondary school courses to in-house training in companies, have deployed the mStar environment. This paper reports on experiences gained over a year of practice at Luleå University of Technology an...

In 1985 over 22 percent of all secondary agricultural education instructors taught one or more junior high/middle school courses in agriculture (Phipps & Osborne, 1988). This effort has occurred and will continue in middle grade agricultural education programs in an effort to provide early exposure to the world of agriculture and to increase self understanding in the preparation for careers. It...
