1 : 1 educational computing refers to a scenario where every student in a group or class uses a computing device equipped with wireless communication capability to conduct a learning task. This paper, drawing from design experiences with our digital classroom environment series and other studies, attempts to describe a few valuable 1 : 1 design perspectives for educational computing inside the ...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influences of Constructivist Learning Environments (CLEs) through the use of laptops supported within 1:1 e-learning education in Malaysian schools. The main objectives of this study were to investigate (a) different possible gaps between constructivist theory and classroom practices in Malaysian schools, (b) success, if any, of the classroom stu...

tuberculosis is still one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity. besides clinical impact, the disease affects the quality of life (qol) too. with the rise of 21st century, multi-drug-resistant tb (mdr tb) has risen as a significant public health problem due to emergence of resistance to anti-tuberculosis therapy (att) drugs. this study was planned to analyze the impact of mdrtb on qo...

When a student is away from school for an extended time due to illness, s/he is provided with a tutor or in-hospital classrooms to keep up with studies. This isolates the child from normal classroom experiences. A remote controlled communication system, PEBBLES (Providing Education By Bringing Learning Environments to Students), was developed which allows a remote student to communicate with hi...

In this paper I report a lengthy episode from a teaching experiment in which fifteen Year 12 Greek students negotiated their definitions of tangent line to a function graph. The experiment was designed for the purpose of introducing students to the notion of derivative and to the general case of tangent to a function graph. Its design was based on previous research results on students’ perspect...

UNLABELLED Physically active classroom lessons have been found to increase on-task behavior in children. Given that physical activity has been associated with an increased time on task (TOT) and that overweight children take fewer steps than normal weight children do, it was expected that benefits of the physical activity would differentially impact those children of higher weight status. PUR...

Traditionally, music education focused on the assimilation of fundamental music concepts by individual students. In contrast, this paper outlines a study, which proposes to utilise students’ creative musical potential, collaboratively within the classroom. This work extends upon MOLE (Music Oriented Learning Environment, Truman, 2001; Badii & Truman, 2001), a computer-based environment designed...
