TWO NEW COMPUTER TECHNOLOGIES PROFOUNDLY CHANGING TEACHING TOOLS ARE MULTIMEDIA TECHNOLOGIES AND DO-IT-YOURSELF PROGRAMMING TECHNOLOGIES. BOTH ARE EMBODIED IN APPLE MACINTOSHC'S HYPERCARD. THESE NEW DEVELOPMENTS ENABLE TEACHERS TO USE, MODIFY, AND CREATE TEACHING MATERIALS THAT COMBINE VISUAL AND AUDITORY MEDIA TO ENHANCE THE LEARNING PROCESS OF ALL STUDENTS AND TO HELP REMEDIATE CERTAIN KINDS OF ...

THIS PROJECT EXAMINES THE ABILITY OF A COMPUTER BASED LEARNING AID TO ADAPT TO THE INDIVIDUAL, LEARNING DISABLED CHILD BY CHANGING THE MANNER IN WHICH IT PRESENTS SUBJECT MATTER. THE ABILITY OF COMPUTER BASED SYSTEMS TO QUICKLY ADAPT, WITHLITTLE OR NO EXTERNAL INSTRUCTION, TO DIFFERING SITUATIONS, OFFERS CONSIDERABLE PROMISE FOR THE LEARNING DISABLED. THESE CHILDREN TYPICALLY REQUIRE HIGHLY PERSON ...

THE PROPOSED PROJECT INVOLVES TEH ADAPTATION OF A NEWLY DEVELOPED HARDWARE DEVICE CALLED THE TONGUETOUCH KEYPAD (TTK) AND SMARTLINK SYSTEM (CONTROLLER) TO EDUCATIONAL APPLICATIONS, AND TEH DEVELOPMENT OF SOFTWARE PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO OPTIMIZE ITS USEFULLNESS WITHIN THESE APPLICATIONS, FOR THE PURPOSES OF IMPROVING PARTICIPATION ININSTRUCTION OF STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES THAT RESTRICT THEIR ATTEND ...

The statistical software program "Resampling Stats" will be modified to serve as a teaching instrument, with emphasis on students in colleges of education - our future teachers. The American Statistical Association (ASA) and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCRM) identify probability and statistics as vital subjects for high school students. Unfortunately, education students too o ...

The proposal is for completion of conceptual design, user testing of prototype, and evaluation of technical performance requirements for a CD ROM/web based product designed to enhance the chances of success of students placed at risk of Educational Failure. "At-risk¿' students are defined not only as students who face barriers related to race, income level, family structure and/or language abil ...

THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PROPOSED RESEARCH IS TO DEVELOP AN ARTIFICIAL-INTELLIGENCE FAULT-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM THAT WILL CLASSIFY, IN REAL-TIME, NUCLEAR POWER PLANT TRANSIENTS AND PROVIDE ERROR BOUNDS ON ITS DIAGNOSES. THE GOAL IS TO DEVELOP AN ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK (ANN) PARADIGM THAT IS CAPABLE OF NOT ONLY PROVIDING A PROPER CLASSIFICATION BUT ALSO GIVING A FIGURE OF MERIT FOR ITS ANSWER. THE PROPO ...

Recent advances in communications, networking, and computer technology have delivered capabilities to today's classroom computers that overwhelm what was considered possible only a few years ago. Advances in desktop virtual reality, real time rendering, and worldwide web Internet linked computers have created an explosion of new computer-based learning opportunities. With the advent of the Inter ...

This Phase I project will develop and demonstrate the functionality and utility of a commercially viable prototype Virtual School (VS) and Virtual Classroom (VC) software system. The target instructional organizations will be any sized educational or training institutions or departments that utilize the increasingly popular, pervasive and powerful Intemet/Intranet world-wide-web (web) client/serv ...
