In this paper we present the framework of a LIfe Support Simulation Application (LISSA) designed to teach and learn cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) skills. LISSA exploits video game technology to link in a single framework computer-based simulations of CPR emergencies with the functionalities of e-learning platforms. Emergency situations are presented as problems that the learner has to sol...

Intelligent instruction of fault diagnosis, or troubleshooting, tasks requires the capability to automatically infer the significance of particular test outcomes observed by the learner in a practice environment. This single process is central to virtually every aspect of intelligent instruction in this domain, ranging from evaluating learner proficiency to recommending an effective testing str...

This study investigated the effort of computer assisted instruction (CAI) and (F(l,39)=11.015, p_0.5, there was a significant main effect of treatment on learners' potentials in different areas of learning and may also constitute.

This chapter clearly illustrates that emphasis on preparation of teachers to integrate ICT is gaining momentum in the education sector. Arguably, underpinning this emphasis is the convergence of assertions that ICT integration has the potential to enhance the quality of teaching and learning. Nonetheless, considering that the debate about effective teaching has overtime existed between two tens...

Schools are responsible for developing students’ learning abilities in order to prepare them the future. However, power was rarely explored previous studies. This study considered classrooms as a proximal level of influences from ecologically-oriented systems theory and therefore centered on exploring effects operating communities (CaLC) power. Learner-centered teaching, which includes componen...

Among health professions the field of respiratory care (RC) once enjoyed a leadership role in integrating new technologies in teaching, largely because of the excellent match between branching-logic clinical simulations and microcomputer technology. RC can reclaim leadership status by concentrating on effective teaching and the judicious (rather than lavish) deployment of educational technologi...

In an introductory biology course, we implemented a learner-centered, model-based pedagogy that frequently engaged students in building conceptual models to explain how genes determine phenotypes. Model-building tasks were incorporated within case studies and aimed at eliciting students' understanding of 1) the origin of variation in a population and 2) how genes/alleles determine phenotypes. G...
