This paper describes a process model for designing and implementing instruction using various multimedia instructional materials. Our model takes a scenario-based approach as its central concept. It conceptualizes the whole process of evolving multimedia instructional material as a double-loop of activities in which teachers and students work together to enrich it. The external loop comprises p...

{ The concept of retargetability enables compiler technology to keep pace with the increasing variety of domain-speciic embedded processors. In order to achieve user retargetability, powerful processor modeling formalisms are required. Most of the recent modeling formalisms concentrate on horizontal, VLIW-like instruction formats. However, for encoded instruction formats with restricted instruc...

Design of usable and useful interactive systems requires a model that explains the activities and context of use. Similarly, design of instruction requires a valid model that illustrates the activities of student and teacher in class and classroom context. This paper describes a process model for designing and implementing instruction using various multimedia instructional materials. Our model ...

the present article is extracted from a multi-dimensional research around “space”, how architecture instructors interpret it and how this interpretation can influence their instruction. to fulfill this end, special attention has been paid to different spatial patterns of architecture besides a thorough study of opinions stated on the subject by different patterns. following a lexical investigat...

Systematic phonics instruction in first language education has recently received considerable research attention due to its critical role in facilitating phonological awareness and processing skills. However, little is known about the effects of systematic phonics instruction on foreign language reading and spelling in an EFL context. This study examined the effects of spelling-based phonics in...
