The main problem in learning power electronics course is that there are many things require imagination to understand the principles of converters. Thereto, occurs not flexible, which only classroom, even though students need a lot time material and media able visualize through illustrations, text, pictures, audio. This paper proposes development form Power Electronics Learning Interactive Mult...

This poster session is designed to showcase how students enrolled on a BA(Hons) course in Interactive Multimedia can participate in a government educational initiative (the UK’s National Grid for Learning) while fulfilling degree requirements. The Web based work that the students developed demonstrates how the concept of a national educational resource can be used in teaching and learning for a...

This chapter discusses a theoretical framework for designing multimedia in which manipulation, rather than perception, of objects plays the predominant role. The framework is based on research by cognitive psychologists and on Engelkamp’s (1998) multimodal model of action-based learning. Although the assumptions of Engelkamp’s model should be helpful for instructional design, they are not compl...

With increasing popularity of web based learning, it is required to design the web layout to reduce cognitive load. Cognitive load theory is widely used to predict the effectiveness of the web based and multimedia learning. The cognitive load induced by instructional and multimedia modes are measured by indirect or subjective methods. Questionnaires are one common form of measuring cognitive lo...

The decision to implement new technologies such as smart glasses, smart phones, and tablets in an educational setting without determining optimal use scenarios is an evident universal problem as the adoption of such mobile platforms becomes widespread. Semi-structured interviews are conducted with two Science and Technology (S & T) and three Information Technology (IT) public school instructors...

The authors tested the hypothesis that personalized messages in a multimedia science lesson can promote deep learning by actively engaging students in the elaboration of the materials and reducing processing load. Students received a multimedia explanation of lightning formation (Experiments 1 and 2) or played an agent-based computer game about environmental science (Experiments 3, 4, and 5). I...

This study explores advantages of situated multimedia learning environments with age-specific modifications for older adults. With the strong increase of the ageing population in Western societies the number of active older adults willing to learn is growing. Furthermore, due to the increase of ICT older adults will be more and more confronted with multimedia applications that are not tailored ...

The use of Multimedia applications in Learning provides useful concepts for Instructional Content Design. This study aimed to investigate the effect of design electronic curriculum and multimedia applications on acquiring e-content design skills, and improving their attitudes towards e-learning. To achieve the objective of the study, the researchers developed a test to measure the efficiencies ...

One can gain appreciable insights to the present day status of the field of instructional technology (IT) from examining its early beginnings and the origins of current practice. Programmed Instruction (PI) was an integral factor in the evolution of the instructional design process, and serves as the foundation for the procedures in which IT professionals now engage for the development of effec...
