| Description |
This presentation will share the design, rationale, and prototype of an analogical encoding tool for use in problem-based learning and game environments. Research on analogical encoding (i.e. learning by comparing two cases) suggests that teaching students to compare cases side-by-side improves knowledge acquisition and transfer. Analogical encoding aids students in attending to the deep underlying structures (i.e. principles) of cases thereby reducing potential distraction of surface features. |

| Description |
In this presentation, a new taxonomy of meaningful learning is demonstrated. The taxonomy is built from the perspective that problem solving is the most authentic and purposeful learning outcome. Because of this, problem solving is placed at the top of this new taxonomy and analogical and causal reasoning are presented as co-requisites. Implications for designers will be discussed. |

Successful web-based video represents decisions made by the producers, videographers, editors, compressors, application developers, and web designers based on a complex set of choices. To put video on your website, some decisions may be made for you, some may be based on your own practice and on exemplar sites, and some might be wild guesses. This interactive presentation will discuss some guidelines for critical decisions about preproduction, shooting, editing, and preparing archived, web-based video presentations.

| Description |
The Preparing Tomorrow’s Teacher to Use Technology (PT3) initiative provided millions of dollars to transform pre-service teachers’ experiences with technology in both their technology courses and field experiences (USDoE, 2004). The researchers have recently completed a critical analysis of PT3 projects in this area. This session will allow both the presenters and the audience to share and comment on the findings of the critical synthesis, the influence of these PT3 projects on teacher education and implications for further research. |

This presentation detail the experience of a large Midwestern university’s challenge in merging a thriving School Library Media program with the revival of an Educational Technology program. The presentation focuses on two main issues: alignment of the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) standards and the School Media and Education Technology Specialists (SMETS) standards, and a comparison of the existing educational technology programs. Milestones, challenges and administrative issues will be chronicled and discussed. |

This paper reviews key elements that contribute to the successful integration of technologies and constructivist pedagogical activities in K-12 settings. Theoretical constructs of constructivism were identified based on literature about constructivist theories. These constructs were compared with constructs in selected empirical studies. The main finding suggested that insufficient elaboration of constructivist theoretical constructs in empirical studies resulted in poor results or no significant effects on constructivist learning. |

Serious games need serious software. A variety of software tools already exist in the world of entertainment and many can be used to create serious games as well. But how do you choose the right one? What differentiates one from another? The presenters have analyzed over 30 commercially available game design engines based on cost, technical requirements, end-user requirements, pre-requisite development skills, and product support. Analysis, findings, and discussion of further research will be presented. |

Describing and discussing “quality” teaching does not always translate as intended back in the classroom; however, modeling “quality” teaching through the use of video best practices can be a very effective tool. Video provides concrete examples of the desired teacher performance, reducing ambiguity. This presentation focuses on the process of designing and developing classroom video bet practices for teacher professional development. |

OpenCourse Ware is a digital collection of educational materials made freely available to anyone with an internet connection. There are more than 50 univerities worldwide offering OpenCourse Wares. Using a case study, this session will describe how to start an OpenCourse Ware project. Topics will include moving existing digital materials from a closed learning management system into an open-access format using eduCommons (http://cosl.usu.edu/projects/educommons/), gaining faculty and institutional support, and dealing with intellectual property issues. http://cosl.usu.edu |

| Description |
This paper designs a Learning Content Markup Language (LCML) based on XML structure. LCML focuses on developing effective structure of learning objects called learning content for the adaptive learning system, Matching Learning Objects to Individual Differences (MLOID) proposed at the AECT conference in 2005. Learning content includes descriptive metadata, which is pedagogical information and properties related to individual differences, and links to material source. The learning content written by LCML will be a basis of complete learning units in the adaptive learning system. |
