This paper describes the application of a mixed-evaluation method, published elsewhere, to three different learning scenarios. The method defines how to combine social network analysis with qualitative and quantitative analysis in order to study participatory aspects of learning in CSCL contexts. The three case studies include a course-long, blended learning experience evaluated as the course d...

INTRODUCTION Recommendations on best practices typically are drawn from unique settings; these practices are challenging to implement in programs already in operation. We describe an evaluation that identifies best practices in implementing lifestyle interventions in the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's WISEWOMAN program and discuss our lessons learned in using the approach. METHOD...

in this article the nonlinear mixed volterra-fredholm integral equations are investigated by means of the modied three-dimensional block-pulse functions (m3d-bfs). this method converts the nonlinear mixed volterra-fredholm integral equations into a nonlinear system of algebraic equations. the illustrative   examples are provided to demonstrate the applicability and simplicity of our   scheme.
