Usage and Principal in using media of learning

Posted under Education

Media of learning which used to be books as the only sources in self learning, recently were replaced, or slide to be exactly, into internet and e-learning software and tools. But don’t you know not all of these resources are useful and have great benefit for your knowledge.

In order to know about it more, lets have a look at media learning principal first.
1. Each of the media indeed have lost and benefit, nothing is better or worst, almost everything are equal. Based on these fact you could use two or more resources in order to fulfill the blank and complete the knowledge.
2. You should know that media of learning is integral part of learning and to apply it, you should consider it whether its match with learning characteristic or not.
3. In each of learning which might be single or being done in group, each of the learning method are vary, so its better to know it before using it. (more…)

Technology role in Education

Posted under Education,Technology

Integrating technology into education can be challenging, frustrating, time consuming, and expensive. A common question often surfaces: Is it worth it? Indeed, if we had a nickel for every reporter who called us at the Center for Children and Technology to ask us if our research proves that technology raises test scores, we wouldn’t have to apply for any more government grants” (Brunner and McMillan (1994)).

Reporters, parents, and teachers may be disappointed when they discover that measuring the effectiveness of the new, diverse technologies in education is often more complicated than administering standardized tests. Many of the educational multimedia programs are designed in an open-ended, exploration format, and assessment of these programs through multiple-choice tests does not provide adequate answers about their effectiveness. Also, many of the new networking technologies have not been fully analyzed.

Investigative Interviewers

Posted under Education

Whenever there is an allegation of abuse (or other crime) perpetrated against, or in the presence of, a child, the child witness will typically engage in an investigative interview with a professional working in the forensic field. Although investigative interviews may vary in purpose, scope, and content, the common objective of all investigative interviews is to elicit an accurate, complete, and detailed account of the incident in question.

Eliciting an accurate and detailed account of an event (such as abuse) from a child is a complex process that involves several skills and competencies which have been well articulated in the literature. Overall, experts agree that the most critical skill is the ability to maintain the use of non-leading, open-ended questions; such questions elicit elaborate responses but do not dictate or suggest what information is required.

Task Practice

Posted under Education,Technology

Part-task practice for the automation of some recurrent tasks in form of additional exercises. These are in fact additional exercises for recurrent aspects of learning tasks for which a very high level of automation is required after instruction. These exercises were not required in our multimedia environment, so we did not develop part-task practice tasks.

The learning materials in our multimedia environment are organised into four modules that build upon each other with increasing complexity.

Just-In-Time Information

Posted under Education,Technology

Just-in-time information is the third component and is prerequisite to the learning and performance of recurrent aspects of learning tasks, meaning that it is relevant to the performance of routine aspects of the learning tasks. In general these are small information units and presented to learners, just-in-time, while working on the learning tasks.

The multimedia learning environment offers help sites, glossaries, and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs). We also use software examples and hands on software exercises to promote the necessary technical skills needed to use interactive whiteboards.
