They do not only provide savings in terms of time and cost, but also outperform asynchronous on-line instruction and even traditional face-to-face education in many circumstances. But the lack of pedagogical framework for synchronous instruction has till now affected the effective use of this medium. This paper describes an on-line synchronous learning model that aims to provide guidelines for teachers and students to conduct synchronous instruction. The model provides a broad range of scenarios to suit individual requirements and covers both synchronous lecturing and 'office hours' modes.","PeriodicalId":291817,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies, 2004.

A possible solution would be an integrated system (adapted to the user) for the creation and distribution of online education. In this article the composition of this system is described, a different (pedagogical) approach to the design of learning objects and granularity is taken, and an alternative adaptive presentation of concepts (helping maximize the power of multimedia) is introduced. The present paper focuses on the description of the mechanism that is used, for the creation of learning objects and courses.","PeriodicalId":291817,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies, 2004.

A number of learning tools and environments have been built to assist both teachers and students in introductory programming courses.

Tools are divided into four categories: A) integrated development interface; B) visualization; C) virtual learning environments; and D) systems for submitting, managing, and testing of exercises. The classification is based on a review of existing tools, both commercial and freely available. Guidelines for the selection of a suitable tool are discussed.","PeriodicalId":291817,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies, 2004.

People should be able to write and read easily virtual documents in the form of generated Web pages, in which link inference will help them to discover the environment of their subject and to establish relations between concepts. Beside informational fragments, the underlying model is composed of a domain ontology where concepts and their relations can be stored explicitly while the interface specification allows implicit link generation. For several years, experiences with students in the collaborative development of virtual hyperbooks about the course topics helped us to refine our hyperbook model. In this paper, we introduce adaptive mechanisms based on the notion of points of view.","PeriodicalId":291817,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies, 2004.

It is possible to explore the educational use of games through the system. As the word program is not just a program for typing practice but includes other educational areas, students study the areas while playing word games. What is more, students may learn the rules and concepts of folk plays naturally while playing typing games, the rules of which are similar to those of folk plays. Besides, playing word games, children who are absorbed in computer games may become familiar with and interested in folk plays. Furthermore, children can make friends with different types of people while playing word games.","PeriodicalId":291817,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies, 2004.
