A Comparison Of Computer-Based Training And Traditional Classroom Training For The Sad Corporation Job Placement Team, Janice Brown Adams
A Comparison Of Computer-Based Training And Traditional Classroom Training For The Sad Corporation Job Placement Team, Janice Brown Adams
Dissertations
Purpose: The purpose of this research study was to compare the effectiveness of computer-based training with traditional classroom training; both instructional delivery methods utilized the traditional classroom curriculum as a means of delivery for an on-the-job company-sponsored program. The JAW-SAD Human Resource Center (HRC) is a training facility for the SAD Corporation, a major international manufacturing company. The HRC is responsible for conducting continuous training and certification of SAD employees. Historically, training has been provided through conference workshops with a traditional classroom training format. The motivation and importance for this study was influenced by an administrative requirement to determine the …

Interactive Multimedia E-Learning System, Wen-Yi Shih
Theses Digitization Project
This project is an interactive, multimedia, on-line learning system. It provides a friendly and simple interface to let kids easily learn their ABC's. Teachers and administrators can modify and view files and database information from a normal web browser to customize the student's learning experience. The web browser is written in Java Server Page (JSP), Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) and Macromedia Flash.
The Development, Design, And Theory Of Educational Interactive Multimedia Software, William James Chapman
The Development, Design, And Theory Of Educational Interactive Multimedia Software, William James Chapman
Theses Digitization Project
This project provides teachers and students with background information regarding software design. Specifically it will focus on design theory including content, interface, graphics, animation, navigation, and audio issues which may arise during the design and construction of educational multimedia software. The design issues represented here are demonstrated in the software "You can make a difference ... Human Rights".
Mapcast : Real-Time Collaboration With Concept Maps, Brett Greay
Mapcast : Real-Time Collaboration With Concept Maps, Brett Greay
Theses : Honours
This thesis describes the development of the application mapCAST, a computer-based concept-mapping tool that allows synchronous collaboration via TCP/IP networks, such as the Internet The useability and feasibility of mapCAST as a computer-based tool was examined and analysed in a real world situation. Results indicate that mapCAST is successful as a collaborative tool in a situations involving knowledge organisation, but lacks certain functionality that many Macintosh users are accustomed to.
Using Multimedia Microworlds To Motivate And Engage Adult Learners, Susan B. Stoney
Using Multimedia Microworlds To Motivate And Engage Adult Learners, Susan B. Stoney
Theses: Doctorates and Masters
As educational institutions come under increasing pressure from outside forces to restructure the way students learn, efforts are being made by researchers to find ways to assist students to learn through independent thought and to solve problems in a resource-based, self-paced environment. Such an environment needs to be sufficiently interesting and novel to motivate students who begin to use it, and to continue to engage them as they progress through it. This study has sought to identify what such a learning environment needs to encompass in order to motivate and engage adult learners so that they will not only want …
A Generic Intelligent Architecture For Computer-Aided Training Of Procedural Knowledge, Freeman A. Kilpatrick Jr.
A Generic Intelligent Architecture For Computer-Aided Training Of Procedural Knowledge, Freeman A. Kilpatrick Jr.
Theses and Dissertations
Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) development is a knowledge-intensive task, suffering from the same knowledge acquisition bottleneck that plagues most Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems. This research presents an architecture that requires knowledge only in the form of a shallow knowledge base and a simulation to produce a training system. The knowledge base provides the basic procedural knowledge while the simulation provides context. The remainder of the knowledge required for training is learned through the interaction of these components in a state-space scenario exploration process and inductive machine learning. These knowledge components are used only at the interface level, allowing the internal …
