The controversy over cyberlearning as an integral part of the teaching and learning process in higher education is growing almost as fast as the technology itself. Unfortunately, there are relatively few empirical studies that provide a comprehensive test of the effectiveness of cyberlearning. This exploratory study compares Cyberlearners with Traditional Learners in a graduate-level MBA course...

Wil is a writer, teacher, learning technologist and keen language learner. teachers in using classroom and web technology, and written e-learning materials for or who are used to the traditional 'teacher and class' model of education. and online learning, in the hands of a welltrained teacher, both delivery methods. Setting plays a crucial role in effective teaching, and learning and eLearning ...

Educational model for higher education has shown a drift from traditional classroom to technology-driven models that merge classroom teaching with web-based learning management systems (LMS) such as Moodle and CLEW. Every teaching model has a set of supervised (e.g. quizzes) and/or unsupervised (e.g. assignments) instruments that are used to evaluate the effectiveness of learning. The challenge...

A wide range of technology-based educational resources were designed and implemented in the University of Wollongong “Educational Delivery Technologies Laboratory (EDTLab)”. The most recent EDTLab’s project dealt with utilisation of a resource-based approach in providing classroom support and fostering students learning. A web-based learning environment was designed and used in a large first ye...

PURPOSE Numerous studies have documented comparable outcomes from Web-based and traditional classroom instruction. However, there is a paucity of literature comparing these two delivery formats for gerontology courses in dental hygiene curricula. This study examines the effectiveness of alternative methods of course delivery by comparing student profiles and instructional outcomes from a dental...

26 Web-based instruction in higher education has grown exponentially, with more than a thousand universities offering courses over the Web in the United States alone.1 Web-based instruction offers obvious advantages for distance and continuing education populations by making access to education at any time or place feasible. This kind of flexibility is similarly advantageous for informal or pro...

Active Learning in the classroom domain presents an interesting case for integrating physical and digital affordances. Traditional physical handouts and transparencies are giving way to new digital slides and PCs, but the fully digital systems still lag behind the physical artifacts in many aspects such as readability and tangibility. To better understand the interplay between physical and digi...

The traditional SLA classroom has been radically redefined by the advent of virtual learning communities. Computer-mediated language learning has become significant, and increased use is made of wireless networked mobile computers to facilitate internet-based language learning. Meanwhile, cell phones are becoming ubiquitous. Students presume their right to personal use during class, frustrating...

Emerging research from the learning sciences and human-computer interaction supports the premise that learning is effective when it is embodied, collaborative, and multimodal. In response, we have developed a mixed-reality environment called the Situated Multimedia Arts Learning Laboratory (SMALLab). SMALLab enables multiple students to interact with one another and digitally mediated elements ...

Nowadays Internet-based multimedia learning has been entered into our daily life over various end user devices including mobile phone. Whereas, participating in the classroom and book reading are still major modalities of learning. Pervasive computing technologies will accelerate the progress and help to build a more convenient learning environment for learners. Smart Space technologies can aug...
