We examined how three in-service teachers used simulations and ... -
Animation Models In E-Learning Of Science
Stoffová, Veronika (University of Zilina, 2005)The article deals with the simulation models in e-learning applications which are the basis of controlled animation. Visualization of simulation experiments with the computer has a great significance in teaching-learning ... -
Applying technology acceptance model to Measure it students’ attitude towards a hybrid Communication skills course
Rigopoulos, George; Keklikoglou, Ioannis; Sgouropoulou, Cleo (University of Cyprus, 2007)In this paper we demonstrate the application of a revised TAM model for measuring IT students’ attitude towards eLearning for a hybrid communication skills module. Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) in its original form and ... -
Approaches to the evaluation of elearning
Kapounová, Jana (University of Cyprus, 2007)The development of eLearning is a rapidly expanding area of education and it has become a phenomenon in the learning and knowledge society of the 21st century. Many schools – from basic to universities have adopted ... -
Assessing online instruction: an evolutionary approach
Lee Hench, Thomas (University of Cyprus, 2007)In evolutionary biology, the contribution of those traits evolved by the natural selection process determines the fitness of an organism, that is, the degree to which it is successful in surviving and reproducing in its ... -
Can learning physics be fun? - Water park Physics
Pasek, Vladimir; Wright, Peter (University of Cyprus, 2007)Students enjoy going to the water park where they descend water slides and swim or jump around in a wave pool. Teachers work hard to make Physics enjoyable in a classroom situation. Since the 1980’s, Amusement Park Physics ... -
Card game: attempts by primary level Education pupils to learn binary encoding
Kordaki, Maria; Mpimpas, Christos (University of Cyprus, 2007)This paper focuses on the learning of binary encoding by primary school pupils within a learning experiment mainly based on their being involved in playing a game. In fact, nineteen 6th Grade pupils participated in ... -
The changed dynamics of teaching on-campus Students
Varsavsky, Cristina (University of Cyprus, 2007)Traditional universities in Australia seek to provide academic programs based on a high quality campus experience for undergraduate students, where the role of technology is to enhance this campus experience. While the ... -
