“Pec task explorer”: a tool for Ict supported learning in science

Abstract

In modern science teaching the role of ICT in supporting learning cannot be underestimated, let alone be ignored. Especially for the Predict-Observe-Explain strategy (POE), multimedia-supported POE tasks may be used as a diagnostic, pre-instructional assessment tool or a summative assessment tool. In recent years a handful of such tools have been developed, both through a generalised learning management system (such as LAMS) and as independent applications (Learning Designs). The tool we have developed is an advanced tool of the later type.
