Virtual optical illusions for creative learning
(Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)
An amazing “rotating ring” optical illusion was studied in the frames of the students’ educational computer-based research work. Virtual images of differently shaped moving objects were simulated in QBasic 71, MS Visual ...
The potential of distance e-learning in the Spatial information sciences – an evaluation of a pilot programme at the dublin institute of Technology
(Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)
The authors describe a pilot course in ‘Co-ordinate and reference systems for spatial information’, delivered via the Internet, to staff of the Irish national mapping agency, Ordnance Survey Ireland (OSi). The pilot ...
Moving from local to global teaching: integrating appropriate technologies – a reflection
(Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)
There are many reasons why universities and other tertiary education institutes are moving away from providing local (or face-to-face) teaching to global teaching. Our School of Computer and Information Science is one that ...
Modellingspace: the setting up of human networks as vital part of the design and implementation of a technology-supported learning environment
(Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)
The ModellingSpace (MS) project is concerned with developing and implementing a computer-based modelling learning environment in actual school contexts and preparing an education programme for the teachers involved in it. ...
Combining digital techniques and field data to teach interdisciplinary coastal studies
(Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)
Images of the electromagnetic spectrum on the internet
(Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)
This work analyzes a substantial number of electromagnetic (E/M) spectrum images found on the Internet. Ninety-five (95) relevant network sites were studied and sixty-nine (69) different ways of E/M spectrum depiction were ...
Crafting the technological solutions in high school science and mathematic teaching and learning: matthew effects and the digital divide
(Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)
This paper examines the practices and concepts used in teaching high school science and mathematics concepts (grade 9 - 12) which integrate computer and multimedia technologies and hands-on activities into disciplinebased ...
Difficulties in representing microscopic phenomena on the internet: the case of brownian motion
(Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)
Brownian Motion is the motion during which the particles suspended in a fluid move in a random way in all directions. Randomness is a key concept in understanding the phenomenon. Also, because it refers to molecular motion, ...
A model & support tool for modeling the computer-based/e-instructional process
(Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)
While in psychology instruction appears as a binder and an intersection between conscience, activity and personality structures, in didactics, at individual level, instruction is conceived as a bi-dimensional activity that ...
Educational game design: bridging the gab between computer based learning and experimental learning environments
(Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)
Considering the rapidly growing amount of digital educational materials only few of them bridge the gab between experimental learning environments and computer based learning environments (Gardner, 1991). Observations from ...
