These proceedings contain the papers of the 14th International Conference on e-Learning (EL 2020), which was organised by the International Association for Development of the Information Society, July 21-23, 2020. This conference is part of the 14th Multi Conference on Computer Science and Information Systems 2020, July 21-25, which had a total of…

This document presents an evaluation of an instructional system to assist students in the general chemistry course. These materials include a series of 16mm sound motion picture films that outline the required laboratory experiments, slide/tape programs for individual student use designed to teach the student how to analyze and draw conclusions…

This checklist provides sets of criteria according to which judgments about each of the six major elements of an institution's educational media programs can be made. These elements are: 1) commitment on the part of the administrative and instructional staff to the use of media; 2) the inclusion of media services as an integral component of…

This study investigated a trial use of simultaneous telephone and computer (audiographics) conferencing to teach a Master of Education unit, "Early Childhood Curriculum Design Issues," at the Queensland University of Technology in 1994. Data were collected in written form from students, lecturers, and observers concerning their…

Discusses experience of using multiple media, instead of instructional television, to teach satisfactorily off-campus electrical engineering courses at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Further applications to non-engineering graduate and undergraduate courses, extension activities and short courses are recommended. (CC)

A developmental effort--the Media Guidelines Project--sought to create and validate criteria to assist in planning media training programs, in evaluating media-related training proposals, and in assessing training program outputs. The ultimate purpose was to insure the development of manpower with the competencies which will be required in the…

Describes a computer-assisted instructional course in economics at the University of Illinois. The course employed the PLATO system, which makes use of a display panel and a typewriter-like keyset which enables students to communicate with the computer. Results of a study management system indicated that use of the PLATO system did facilitate…

The ELEXTEC project was initiated to provide better technical education to students enrolled in electronics technology. It was designed to convert a set of materials developed by the U.S. Air Force for teaching electronic principles in a form which could be utilized by civilian technical education institutions. Fourteen colleges participated in…

As part of a study to determine the adequacy of educational media services programs at Big Eight universities as perceived by faculty, department chairmen, and media directors, an instrument was developed which asked participants to evaluate 44 elements of media service programs. In general, responding groups were in agreement, and seven of the…

This paper reports the development, operation, and initial performance evaluations of an electrical engineering laboratory station equipped for computer-guided experimentation (CGE). A practical evaluation of the actual instructional value of two programed lessons utilizing this new system for laboratory instruction and experimentation is also…

Suspecting that two-year public colleges are more committed to instructional media programs than four-year institutions and that higher educational institutions in general are lacking in commitment to media programs, the author surveyed thirty-four Kansas colleges and universities by using the Evaluative Checklist for Self-Evaluating an…

These standards describe the purposes and services, (including administrative, financial, and evaluative elements) of effective learning resources programs (LRPs), and outline the development of a single integrated service concerned with the improvement of instruction. An introductory section describes the roles, objectives, and purposes of LRPs…

A joint research project in educational techniques, which was conducted by the University of Waterloo and the IBM Corporation, explored the use of color television with random-access videotape under computer control. At the end of the three-year project, papers were solicited from all COMIT (Computerized Multi-Media Instructional Television)…

The author suggests that the advent of computers and their applications in the classroom during the last two decades have not revolutionized teaching and learning, because the emphasis has been on technological rather than on educational issues. (Author/KC)

A critical evaluation of the educational technology literature with respect to its application to engineering is provided. Although the major emphasis is on videotape systems, other technologies discussed include satellite applications and video/computer combinations. A number of suggestions are made throughout the report and are summarized in a…
