The role of evaluation in VLE design
نویسنده
چکیده
Purpose: This paper critiques specific evaluation theories and practices which have been influential in developing a computer-mediated learning environment to support a vocational business discipline and one of its specialist skills (writing). Methodology/Approach: The paper reviews evaluation models and principles firstly for computer-based learning and computer assisted learning (CBL/CAL) and then virtual learning environments (VLEs), which are more contemporary and applicable to the paper’s case study and contemporary higher education environments. Findings: The models have been applied and utilised in the development of the PR Writing learning environment. The reviewed models have been influential in the learning environment’s design, philosophy, systems, structure and content. Practical implications: The customised learning environment has been described in some detail although the purpose of this paper has been to describe the influence of evaluation models on its theoretical design and practical development and not on the evaluation process itself. Originality/Value: The paper is original in that it describes a new learning environment which has been designed specifically for a vocational course. spheres as well as education and pedagogic studies at all levels from primary to adult. As such it is necessary to focus this analysis on research and writing into the evaluation of conferencing software in higher education. The analysis of the literature has contributed to the development of the PR Writing learning site as discussed and presented in this paper. The next section explores different perspectives, experiences and models of evaluation which have influenced the design Introduction This paper aims to look at the evaluation methods and techniques available to support the design and integration of collaborative computer learning and conferencing software into vocational higher education curriculum. This is a broad area of study as authors are contributing from different philosophical and discipline perspectives. Contributions to the debate come from psychology and specifically intelligent systems designers, information technology and computing

VLE Properties from ISM Equation of State: Application to Pure and Mixture
In this paper, the vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) properties of polar and nonpolar fluids are modeled by the use of a statistically-based equation of state (EOS). The equation of state used in this work is that of Ihm-Song-Mason (ISM) EOS. An alternative approach is to revise the isothermal integration on liquid. In this respect, a temperature-dependent revision factor b (T) is introduced to th...
