With the rapid development of computer technology information theory has been implemented for searching optimal adaptive item sequence in computerised adaptive test systems based on Bayesian network. Information theory such as entropy between dichotomous concepts and test items generalise common intuitions about item comparison for heuristic methodology. However, the executive time and the stor...

1. INTRODUCTION Modelling activities are central in the development and maintenance of computerised information systems. Examples of types of models that are developed are: – The existing information systems in the organisation as they are perceived by the participants of the project are modelled during analysis. – The future information system (IS) is modelled during requirement specification....

The paper outlines curriculum development activities that have been done in science education in the Slovak Republic as a result of an international collaboration within the frame of the Leonardo da Vinci II pilot project Computerised Laboratory in Science and Technology Teaching – “ComLab-SciTech”. The created teaching and learning materials include integration of science curricula in two mean...

With the wide spread of computers, our daily lives are highly computerised and closely connected with computer networks. In the near future, one will be able to open a door by simply sending an order to the electric door lock from his/her PDA, or read news on a computer embedded “e-paper” with the content updated through wireless connections. The trend towards a computerised smart space is part...

. This paper gives an overview of my PhD study into the persuasiveness of (legal) knowledge-based systems. The results of three experiments show the possible problems that may arise when computerised legal decision aids are put into practice. The users in the experiments had great difficulties with judging the limitations of the legal knowledge-based systems they were using. For the average law...

OBJECTIVE To test the effectiveness of two programmes to improve the treatment of acute depression in primary care. DESIGN Randomised trial. SETTING Primary care clinics in Seattle. PATIENTS 613 patients starting antidepressant treatment. INTERVENTION Patients were randomly assigned to continued usual care or one of two interventions: feedback only and feedback plus care management. Fee...
