In this paper, we suggest a Web Scraping Model based on Transclusion, one of models for collecting contents on the web, in order to reuse web contents in e-Learning environment. Recently, most of instructors create learning materials using web contents. Several studies have suggested focusing on the design of an interface for gathering web contents. However, not much consideration has been give...

How do instructors guide students to discover mathematical content? Are current explanatory models of pedagogical practice suitable to capture pragmatic essentials of discovery-based instruction? We examined videographed data from the implementation of a natural user interface design for proportions, so as to determine one constructivist tutor’s methodology for fostering expert visualization of...

Teaching about games should be easy. After all, students enjoy engaging with course content and have extensive personal experience with videogames. In reality, games education is surprisingly complex. We report on the results of a study that explored the challenges faced by instructors of games studies classes. Our results indicate that learning about games can be challenging for multiple reaso...

Authoring tools for Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs) provide environments that can be used by authors-instructors who are not necessarily computer experts to easily develop cost-effective ITSs. However, the quality of the ITSs to be generated depends heavily on these authors-instructors who will provide the content for the courses. This means that authoring tools should be carefully designed...

Although Learning Management Systems (LMS) are ubiquitous in higher education, little is known about how faculty and students use them for blended learning. In this symposium, we present data from online surveys, system log data, and case studies to investigate the practice of university teaching with LMS to provide feedback about how to successfully implement these systems. We examine instruct...

We argue for programs that support academics to develop an understanding of the relationship between technology and pedagogy. To lay the groundwork, we document how nine instructors (in biology, education, English, general studies, geography, and kinesiology) at two universities integrated a computer conferencing tool into their course design and how their students reported actually using the t...

Students in a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) interact with each other and the course staff through online discussion forums. While discussion forums play a central role in MOOCs, they also pose a challenge for instructors. The large number of student posts makes it difficult for instructors to know where to intervene to answer questions, resolve issues, and provide feedback. In this work, we...

Reflective thought, as sustained in writing, is ottributed to two-way communication between o content problem space and a rhetorical problem space. An instructional experiment involving sixth-graders aimed at helping them sustoin such a two-way process independently, in place of the more typical onewoy process of generating content and writing it out. Instruction included modeling of thinking a...

Improving the quality of learning and teaching has always been in the interest of instructors in all fields of study. There have been tremendous efforts to this end. In this article, learning and teaching modules enhanced with computer technology are introduced. This approach is based on concept questioning and scenario building aided with interactive animation, simulation, and rich graphical c...

The E-Learning is new trend in the current 21st century. All learners and the instructors are very depending on online e-materials available on Internet. But the major problem facing both the learners and Instructors are, which is best e-learning content delivery systems out of the number of available application tools? This paper presents the result of an experimental result of case studies of...
