Dual, Incorporated proposes to investigate the development of an exciting, innovative educational system, called the Virtual Experiential Training System (VETS). VETS will use emerging mult- sensory interaction, 3D rendering, and other simulation technologies to enable an individual to become personally involved in a participatory learning experience. The system's pilot learning experience is th ...

Many visually impaired people have difficulty learning mathematics. The lack of higher math skills limits educational and job opportunities for many visually impaired people since numerous professions are requiring more technical skills. The objective of the Screen Reader Architecture Math System (SRAMS) is to design, develop, and test a computer based system which uses successful screen reading ...

This proposal describes the development of the Computer-based Instructional System for Computer and Information Literacy. Computer-based instructional technology has demonstrated its ability to carry out numerous education and training functions effectively. As networking and multimedia technologies converge, the use of interactive instructional technologies has experienced a corresponding, dram ...

Developing interactive and adaptive courses on the Internet can be very expensive. The Internet technology will be a viable solution to the education and training problem only if the cost of developing new instructional products can be made comparable to costs for traditional instruction. This focuses attention directly on the software tool that is used for the creation of interactive instruction ...

This project will support adult learners who have had difficulty learning from traditional means by providing curricular materials on-demand. It will demonstrate an instructionally sound, cost- effective, user-friendly technology for delivering instruction directly to learners' homes 24 hours a day. Virtually all previous adult education has compromised either convenience or completeness. Learne ...
