In particular, support for watching the relationship between the program code and the resultant program behaviour is poor.","PeriodicalId":208449,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings International Workshop on Advanced Learning Technologies.

In particular, the paper reports on the uses made by collaborating practitioners of stored voice messages, called voice annotations. The annotations have been used by learning technology professionals to create and share reflections on group processes. The groups were filmed taking part in discussions from which critical incidents, e.g., of negotiation have been selected and presented back to the group members as digital videoclips. Voice annotations have been used by the participants to offer reflections upon the clips and these annotated clips are now being shared online among this community. Analysis of the observational and verbal protocol data from this study is revealing the value of these rich representations for reflective learning from group practices.","PeriodicalId":208449,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings International Workshop on Advanced Learning Technologies.

The Cisco Learning Institute has developed an \"E-Learning Engine\" that is used to create all learning and training materials used by Cisco personnel, vendor partners, customers, and to create and deliver the curriculum in the Cisco Networking Academy program. The Cisco Networking Academy program has grown exponentially since its creation in 1997, so that as of May 2000 it counts over 3700 academies in over 60 countries, making it the single largest online curriculum with over 60000 students currently enrolled. The paper describes some features of the E-Learning Engine, provides additional details about curriculum design and assessment within the program, and hints at future developments of interest to educators and learners around the world.","PeriodicalId":208449,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings International Workshop on Advanced Learning Technologies.

Aircraft carriers are often deployed for months, with limited medical specialty services. This method was developed to increase access to images by specialists at the medical center where patients would be seen once at port. Radiologic images were imported into Word and PowerPoint with simple windows keyboard commands. Images were then e-mailed to various specialists for consultation. The quality of the attachments for diagnosis was satisfactory to the consultants and replies were received within 24 hours. There was no apparent difference in image quality between Word and PowerPoint and both used comparable memory space. It is concluded that telemedicine, teleconsultation and tele-education may be successfully implemented in remote environments such as carrier operations at sea, using PowerPoint with attachments.","PeriodicalId":208449,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings International Workshop on Advanced Learning Technologies.

With the mainstreaming of online learning an increasing number of academics will be expected to take on the role of online teacher but most have little or no formal education in this area. Staff development is critical. Traditional forms of staff development have some limitations. Web sites designed for staff development often mimic traditional, linear forms of teaching. However, the Web offers opportunity to develop learner-centred staff development activities that use and model a constructivist approach to learning and overcome some of the problems associated with traditional staff development activities.","PeriodicalId":208449,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings International Workshop on Advanced Learning Technologies.

It is being produced to address a number of changes which currently impact upon the teaching of design. The pressure on existing foundation education created by reducing discretionary awards, the poorer quality of supply from the secondary sector due to the dropping of art and design as a compulsory study are two of the negative elements being addressed. It also addresses the increasing need for design as a primary skillbase within aspects of informatics, media, business, technology and communication studies make the creation of an open access remotely delivered design experience a beneficial cognate activity for students who are joining these courses. The proposed course comprises six modules which are Introductory Studies, Design in Context, Design in Industry Innovation and Change, Research Practice and Discipline Project. They contain an information base, interactive material, reference reading and viewing and assessable practical project work. It is delivered by Multiple Media using an Internet spine complemented by electronic, video and print delivery. The dynamic section of the course runs on a WWW site maximising audience access, user independence and retrievable information resource. Emerging technology applications will progressively enlarge the potential.","PeriodicalId":208449,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings International Workshop on Advanced Learning Technologies. IWALT 2000.
