    • Evaluation of courseware and learning environments in an electromagnetics course enhanced by computer assisted instruction 

      Martín i Batlle, Cristina; de Bruijn, Imme; Mul de, Frits F.M. (Pedagogical Faculty of University of Ostrava, 2001)
      At the University of Twente the first year electromagnetism course has been restructured. A web-based course consisting of different exercises (most of them using a link with Maple) and PowerPoint presentations has ...

    • Evaluation of supporting courseware by means of online and offline questionnaires 

      de Bruijn, Imme (Pedagogical Faculty of University of Ostrava, 2001)
      A template for worked out problems and tutorials on the internet, as presented in former CBLIS conferences, was recently extended with an evaluation system. At the end of a session the student is prompted to fill in a ...

    • A framework for evaluating e-learning Environments 

      Fursenko, Frank; von Itzstein, G. Stewart (University of Cyprus, 2007)
      The management of many universities is in a state of transformation from the traditional collegiate, to a more structured corporate style of management. These universities are increasingly modelling their educational adm ...

    • An interactive simulation to evaluate student understanding of moon phase formation 

      Constantinou, Constantinos P.; Evagorou, M.P; Ttoffi, P. G. (Pedagogical Faculty of University of Ostrava, 2001)
      The development of student understanding of phases of the moon is notoriously difficult due to the spatial reasoning requirements posed by the relative motion of three celestial bodies. We have used the Greek version of ...

    • Models to support multimedia Courseware production 

      Barker, Philip; Giller, Susan (Pedagogical Faculty of University of Ostrava, 2001)
      Many new technologies are now available for delivering and/or providing access to computer-based learning (CBL) materials. These technologies vary in sophistication in many important ways - depending upon the bandwidth ...

    • An organic chemistry cd-rom as a multi-use tool for learning or teaching 

      Soumillion, J. P.; Smits, I.; Delbar, T. (Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)
      This CD-ROM, used by undergraduate first year students in the science faculty, is composed of two sections: the schemes, drawings and animations used in the course on one hand and interactive exercises on the other hand. ...

    • The Physics Assessment and Study Site – An online means to assessing and maintaining course prerequisites 

      Hench, Thomas Lee (Pedagogical Faculty of University of Ostrava, 2001)
      A common and obvious goal of education is student success in a selected course. From an instructional standpoint, two important factors in determining this success. Firstly, whether the student possesses the appropriate ...

    • Potential roles for electronic performance support systems in libraries 

      Barker, Philip; van Schaik, Paul; Famakinwa, Oladeji (University of Zilina, 2005)
      Electronic performance support systems provide a powerful mechanism for helping end-users comprehend complex systems. This paper describes and discusses some research we have undertaken in order to explore their potential ...

    • Simulations, applets and learning in schools 

      de Bruijn, Imme; Martin, Brian; Brouwer, Wytze (Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)
      This paper reviews the problem of establishing learning effects with computer simulation packages in science teaching. It is stated that evidence is accumulating about the effects of simulations in a laboratory environment ...

    • Taking an electronic mathematics examination from home: what the students think 

      Whitelock, Denise; Raw, Yvonne (Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)
      The Open University’s Science department produced a short course in Mathematics. Its aim was to assist science undergraduates in obtaining the key skills required in order to progress through higher level science modules. ...

    • Virtual biology: do we need the real thing? 

      Franklin, Sue; Peat, Mary (Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)
      One of the debates within biology teaching is the appropriate use of animals and plants to enhance the learning experience. In particular significant amounts of time are often set aside within curricula for relevant practical ...

    • When computer use is associated with Negative science achievement 

      Papanastasiou, Elena C.; Zembylas, Michalinos; Vrasidas, Charalambos (Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)
      One surprising result of the Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) is that computer use in the classroom was negatively associated with high student achievement in Cyprus, Hong Kong and the USA. The ...
