In the context of rapid technology development, it comes as no surprise that technology continues to impact the educational domain, challenging traditional teaching and learning styles. This study focuses on how students with different learning styles use instructional technology, and in particular, the tablet PC, to enhance their learning experience. The VARK model was chosen as our theoretica...

Students are characterized by different learning styles, focusing on different types of information and processing this information in different ways. One of the goals of a Web-based education system is that all the students can learn despite their different learning styles. To achieve this goal we have to detect how students learn. We propose the use of Bayesian Networks to detect the learning...

Different kinds of unit testing activities are used in practice. Organised unit testing (regression testing or test-first activities) are very popular in commercial practice, while ad-hoc (interactive) testing is popular in small scale and experimental development environments and teaching situations. These testing styles are usually kept separate. This paper introduces a design and implementat...

 SUMMARY Problem based learning as an innovation in education specially medical domain has been used since few decades and its positive effect in improving learning outcome bas been proved in several investigations. There are some obstacles that prevent shifting from traditional medical education, toward P.B.L. in medical school, so there has been several efforts managed by educationists searc...

E-learning has continued to gain the interest of enterprises and universities. As an organization’s deployed e-learning systems grow, it is important for researchers to evaluate the performance of those systems. With the growing trend toward web-based learning systems, behavioral intention models (such as TAM, TPB, TAM2 and UTAUT) seem particularly helpful to examine whether and why people use ...

BACKGROUND NIATx200, a quality improvement collaborative, involved 201 substance abuse clinics. Each clinic was randomized to one of four implementation strategies: (a) interest circle calls, (b) learning sessions, (c) coach only or (d) a combination of all three. Each strategy was led by NIATx200 coaches who provided direct coaching or facilitated the interest circle and learning session inter...

In practice, the presentation style of video lectures ranges from simple video capturing of classroom teaching, up to highly elaborate authoring of video presentations that include closeups and video-cuts of instructors, slides, animations, and intera...
