There are many questions that must be addressed in the design of teaching-learning situations/scenarios. They include: how to adapt content/activities to learner ́s specific needs; how to plan corrective feedback; how to fit teaching-learningassessment techniques to a specific educational context; how to choose the educational tools more appropriate to a teaching-learning-assessment method; how ...

Distance learning presents great potential for mitigating field problems on pesticide application technology. Thus, due to the lack of teaching material about pesticide spraying technology in the Portuguese language and the increasing availability of distance learning, this study developed and evaluated a computer program for distance learning about the theory of pesticide spraying technology u...

This paper presents an attempt to introduce the concepts of fuzzy set theory in the design of web-based distance learning systems. A fuzzy decision making process is used to update the leaner model and specify his/her learning level to provide appropriate teaching materials to each learner. Such a system can deal with uncertainties in the learner’s degree of understanding in each unit. It provi...

The Higher Education by distance learning in Brazil has been growing substantially during the last decade. In this review that is presented here, a brief historical perspective of higher education in the national context, and the introduction of Distance Learning (EaD) will be addressed, considering recent changes, within the objective to identify determinant factors for distance learning at th...

background: research about teaching methods and students' education is an important subject which can improve the quality of education. this study was performed to compare three educational methods: teaching through lecture, presentation by small group of students, student's search and study of topics before the class. methods: this quasi-experimental study was conducted on 42 student...

Topics of Information Systems lectures and tutorials are dynamic systems, such as business models and development processes, requirements specification formulation, and system architectures and designs. Using simulations in lectures, tutorials and for distance learning can significantly increase students’ understanding of topics, teamwork skills and enjoyment of their learning experience. The c...
