Due to the increased popularity of e-learning, the phrase “blended learning” has recaptured people’s attention. The manner in which blended-learning classes can be designed to improve learning effectiveness has become an important issue. This study combines classroom learning (abbreviated as C) with computer-assisted programmed instruction (abbreviated as E) to implement C + E. Based on the pri...

background and purpose: active learning, combined with computer-assisted instruction, can enhance medical students’ performance and learning. this article is an attempt to introduce a new web-based approach to information technology instruction for medical students. methods: eight topics were selected to be instructed in web-based workshops. phpbb forum was used for web-based collaborative lear...

This paper describes a compiler-assisted approach to providing multiple instruction rollback capability for general purpose processor registers. The objective is achieved by having the compiler remove all forms of N -instruction anti-dependencies. Pseudo register anti-dependencies are removed by loop protection, node splitting, and loop expansion techniques; machine register antidependencies ar...

We conducted a study to determine whether a computer-assisted instruction program in neuroanatomy helped first-year medical students to form biomedical concepts, and to correct their misconceptions. Using questionnaires and interviews, we elicited concepts and misconceptions held by the students, in the domain of cranial nerve anatomy. The computer program exposed the students to the informatio...
