PURPOSE To review the existing literature pertaining to the current learning technologies available in radiologic science education and how to implement those technologies. METHODS Only articles from peer-reviewed journals and scholarly reports were used in the research for this review. The material was further restricted to those articles that emphasized using new learning technologies in ed...

The United States Department of Defense (DOD) has contributed to the development of various education and training technologies, two of which are computer-assisted instruction and simulation-based instruction. DOD investment in computer-assisted instruction has continued from the 1950s to the present. Its contributions have ranged from drill and practice to computers capable of generating instr...

This paper will provide an introduction to the use of virtual environments for vestibular re-education. The author illustrates some of the ways in which researchers are using virtual reality to improve therapy for vertigo. Users of virtual reality must make adaptations to avoid mismatches between perception due to virtual reality and that due to vestibular and proprioceptive subsystems. Virtual...

What is the future of higher education? Is the university of reason and culture, the institution of Kant and von Humboldt becoming the university of excellence? Are we becoming a global, wired, set of institutions with no geographic boundaries and courses which are exchangeable like spark plugs in a car? Are we concerned about competencies and skills? Are we concerned about values and, if so, w...

In this paper, we will outline some results of an NCETM (National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics) funded project that aimed to establish a professional development network with an open-source mathematical software – GeoGebra – in England. During the past few years a large international user and developer community has formed around various GeoGebra-related activities. Most...

People around the world are taking their education out of school into homes, libraries, Internet cafés, and workplaces, where they can decide what they want to learn, when they want to learn, and how they want to learn. These stories challenge our traditional model of education as learning in classrooms. These new learning niches use technologies to enable people of all ages to pursue learning ...

The use of mobile devices is increasingly prevalent in education. These devices provide the convenience of supporting access to learning anytime, anywhere. Further, mobile learning provides opportunities to tailor the learning experience to dynamically changing contexts. Major challenges for constructing context-aware models to support this kind of learning include defining the contextual infor...

HiSPARC is a project where high school teachers and students work together to study cosmic rays. The combination of hands-on experience and truly participating in a scientific collaboration opens the eyes of many high-school students for the scientific and technological world surrounding us. In this way HiSPARC helps to achieve the targets set in Lisbon 2000 to increase the number of students c...

The purpose of this study was firstly to explore and describe post graduate students' experiences of Technology Education in the TechnoLab and secondly to deduct recommendations to assist and facilitate the learning process of students in the TechnoLab. The research design can be described as qualitative, exploratory, descriptive and contextual. Twenty-eight post graduate students in Technology...
