An Examination Of The Relationships Among Learning Style, Attitudes, And Outcomes Of Computer-Assisted Instruction, Daniel Glen Wilson
Dissertations and Theses @ UNI
This research was based upon a hypothesized AptitudeTreatment Interaction (ATI). More specifically, the research investigated the relationships between student learning style (aptitude) and student outcomes with computer-assisted instruction (treatment). These outcomes included student achievement with computer-assisted instruction (CAI) and student attitude toward CAI.
To examine these relationships, a researcher-developed CAI program on light and color theory was validated and administered to 144 students in an educational media course at the University of Northern Iowa. Participants in the study were first asked to complete the Grasha-Riechmann Student Learning Style Scales (GRSLSS) inventory along with a demographic survey. Next, each participant completed …

Ec94-808 Protecting Intellectual Properties, Alan J. Corr, Herbert Hoover
Ec94-808 Protecting Intellectual Properties, Alan J. Corr, Herbert Hoover
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Intellectual property refers to any product of human intellect which has market value. Examples of such properties include inventions, ideas or expressions, business methods, industrial processes, and chemical formulas. Intellectual properties have an economic value which is determined by a particular market and, therefore, may be considered a business asset (intangible property) and a business decision tool.
In order to consider an intellectual property as a valid business asset, it should be protected through legal means such as patents, trademarks, service marks or copyrights, as provided through intellectual property laws.

G95-1233 Food Safety For Child Care Facilities, Julie A. Albrecht
G95-1233 Food Safety For Child Care Facilities, Julie A. Albrecht
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide outlines proper techniques for providing safe food in child care facilities.
Children are at high risk for food-borne illnesses. Young children are particularly vulnerable to microbial food-borne diseases because of their under-developed immune systems.
In recent years, reports of food-borne illnesses have made headlines. Most of these outbreaks involved food prepared away from home. Many cases of food-borne illness go unreported because the symptoms are similar to the flu.
Foods contaminated with microorganisms are the cause of food-borne illnesses. Contaminated food does not, however, always taste bad, smell bad, or look bad. Therefore, it is almost impossible to …
