This paper describes a study conducted in recognition of the increasingly widespread use of computers and the importance of exposure to instructional technologies in all aspects of poultry science curriculum. The study consisted of the distribution and analyses of two cross-sectional surveys to gather detailed information on the use of instructional technology (IT) in poultry science curricula ...

This review examined how state-created tools for evaluating instructional materials support local schools and school districts to address implementation when adopting materials. We followed a priori, systematic procedures conduct web search visit each state’s department of education website in evaluation tools. After identifying all the areas English/language arts mathematics, we reviewed coded...

⎯ Hazard mitigation and structural dynamics have been important additions to the undergraduate civil engineering curriculum. UCIST (University Consortium on Instructional Shake Tables) has worked toward improving educational opportunities in this area for nearly 10 years. For the past 8 years, the US National Science Foundation has sponsored a cyberenvironment project referred to as the Network...

The creation of computer animations is relatively costly and time consuming. However, their educational power is high if designed properly. It is therefore of increasing importance to establish animations with optimal instructional design properties. Commercial e-learning tools show an enhanced tendency to incorporate 3D-animations although their production is rather costly as compared to the p...

an integrated set of tools for storage, search and reuse of instructional resources. Interoperability is guaranteed to be in accordance with specifications and standards defined in the e-Learning.

From an instructional design perspective, the presence of support devices, also known as tools in computer-based learning environments (CBLEs) aims to enhance learning outcomes/performance [1]. Nevertheless, independent of the intentions behind the design of the tools, tools are value-neutral until learners use them [2]. How (in-) adequately learners use the tools affects the tools functionalit...
