Models to support multimedia Courseware production
(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 ...
Simulations, applets and learning in schools
(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 ...
Evaluation of courseware and learning environments in an electromagnetics course enhanced by computer assisted instruction
(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 been ...
When computer use is associated with Negative science achievement
(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 ...
Virtual biology: do we need the real thing?
(Department of Educational Sciences, University of Cyprus, 2003)

An interactive simulation to evaluate student understanding of moon phase formation
(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 ...
An organic chemistry cd-rom as a multi-use tool for learning or teaching
(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. ...
Taking an electronic mathematics examination from home: what the students think
(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. ...
Evaluation of supporting courseware by means of online and offline questionnaires
(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 ...
