Running head: Approach comparing external and internal methods for analysing group dynamic 2 2 Abstract Beginning with the question, can a multi-methodology explore the nature of group work from both the inside out (group participant self-analysis) and the outside in (facilitator observed analysis), this paper presents the results of a statistical analysis comparing two different approaches to ...

An emerging trend on university campuses has been to offer courses totally online, or with a blend of online and face-to-face components. In 2002, over 80% of public universities offered both blended and online courses to their on-campus students. It is reasonable to assume that students enrolled in an online class have a different learning experience and experience the course content different...

We examine some techniques and results rrom algebraic geometry, and assess how and to what e'xtent. fhey are oT use in computer-aided-geometric deSi~Gl't Focusing on offset and blending surface construction, we illustrate how to apply and assess algebraic methods_ We also examine some numerical techniques for interrogating offsets and blending surfaces constructed using the algebraic approach.

This paper proposes to use geographic visualization principles in conjunction with multicriteria evaluation methods to support spatial decision-making. Interactive maps can be combined with analytical tools to explore various settings of multi-criteria evaluation parameters that define different decision-making strategies. In a case study, the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) is used to calcu...

In the discussions of cognitive literary studies in this and earlier volumes of Poetics Today, there regularly seems to be at least a fairly broad consensus as to the significant differences between the typical literary-humanistic and the typical scientific approaches to making claims about a given object of study. Even if the object of study is the same—in this case, literature—a humanistic ap...

In order to account for prosodic iconicity in speech in a very general way we propose looking at the phenomenon from an experiential and embodied perspective (Núñez 1999; Violi 2003; Rohrer 2007, i.a.), defining communication as a “co-experienciation” process. Using different paths, prosodic dimensions’ variations impose direct, non-mediated shaping of shared experience. Prosodic iconic formati...

Teachers have tried to teach their students by introducing text books along with verbal instructions in traditional education system. However, teaching and learning methods could be changed for developing Information and Communication Technology (ICT). It's time to adapt students with interactive learning system so that they can improve their learning, catching, and memorizing capabilities. It ...
