The rapid growth of online learning in educational institutions of all sorts is leading to a search for effective methods of teaching in an online environment. Existing techniques, while adequate for most purposes, have some real limitations – one of which is the provision of effective learning, while ensuring effective interaction among groups of people who may never see either the instructor ...

Computer technology has influenced the realm of language teaching and testing so drastically that no language teaching program could be imagined nowadays without the use digitized software and mul- timedia. This study aims at investigating Iranian EFL learners' performance on paper-based test com- pared with their performance on computer-based test while considering their attitudes towards the ...

Correlation-based learning (CBL) models have been quite successful when applied to the activity driven development of cortical orientation selectivity (OR) or ocular dominance (OD) maps. We ask under which conditions waves of spontaneous activity as have been observed in the developing retina may provide the proper activity to drive the CBL process. We demonstrate that the currently assumed sta...

The cbl-b gene is a member of the cbl protooncogene family. It encodes a protein with multiple domains, which can interact with other proteins in a variety of signaling pathways. The functions of cbl family genes in the brain are unknown. In this report, we used genetic, immunohistochemical, behavioral, and electrophysiological approaches to study the role of cbl-b in learning and memory. Cbl-b...

In this paper we report on a longitudinal study of a Leonardo da Vinci program regarding the application of a Computer Based Learning environment in three EU countries, Greece, Germany, and Holland. The “Orestis” CD-ROM was a multimedia CBL environment aimed at teaching young offenders the basic and advanced skills for the use and maintenance of a photocopy shop.

Over the past 20 years there have been many changes to the primary and secondary educational system that have impacted students, teachers, and post-secondary institutions across the United States of America. One of the most important is the large number of standardized tests students are required to take to show adequate performance in school. Students think differently because they are taught ...

This article investigates the prospect of implementing multidisciplinary and multicultural student teamwork (MMT), along with Case-based Learning (CBL) Problem-based (PBL), as a sustainable teaching practice. Based on mixed-method approach, which includes direct observation (both physical virtual), questionnaire distribution, focus groups, study reveals that MMT through CBL PBL can both facilit...
