Computer mediated communication (CMC) systems, as with the great majority of interactive systems, rely on their users’ ability to encode and decode messages in sight and sound. They are however notoriously problematic for implicit communication and fostering a sense of intimacy between couples. We describe the design concept and construction of a device intended to exploit existing behaviour an...

The use of effective multimedia instructions such as mobiles, computers, and the internet in language learning has turned out to be useful since the last decades. The impact of multimedia and synchronous approaches of computer-assisted language learning (CALL) on English as a foreign language (EFL) learners' learning of language skills and components has been studied to some extent. However, th...

Information technology integrated into instruction is a current trend. This study presents a “Dynamic Learning System” that focus on elementary school mathematics. The Dynamic Learning System is equipped with multimedia contents allowing students to manipulate interactively and nonlinearly. According to the experiment conducted on seventy-two fourth-grade students, the low-achievement group pre...

Information technology not only provides new options for instruction delivery, it can also help create new instruction and learning materials. (What is the point of electronic delivery if there is nothing to deliver?) In turn, these new methods and tools can address some of the key challenges for higher education, including responding more nimbly to changes in demand and competing with new prov...

This paper provides a brief overview of constructivist learning theory and explores its implications for instruction in terms of the design of online learning environments that are learner-centered, knowledgecentered, assessment-centered, and community centered. It then presents a model for organizing thinking about technology-mediated learning within a social constructivist frame. The RCET mod...
