In this session, we describe guidelines for creating educational multi-user virtual environments (MUVEs) build on multimedia design principles and their underlying cognitive processing components, using the River City MUVE as a case study. We first examine River City through the lens of a cognitive overload scenarios, offering examples of how the current design may contribute the learner cognitive overload. Next we describe design solution we are implementing and extrapolate generalized design principles from educational MUVEs.

This round table offers the accumulated wisdom of three years of teaching Windows Movie-maker at the college level. Common problems will be presented, together with instructional solution found to be helpful in overcoming these problems. Common or parallel problems with other software products will also be represented.

There are numerous challenges and limitations to the development and implementation of T-AL systems, particularly in regard to learner motivation. However, there have been several empirical studies of approaches to incorporating motivational design in T-AL, including a recent prototype test of the development and implementation of reusable motivational objects in conjunction with instructional design based on learning objects. This presentation will summarize these selected studies that illustrate empirically validated approaches motivational design for T-AL and provide guidance for additional studies.

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. http://disability.law.uiowa.edu/lhpdc/publications/kleinpubs.html Length 19:35 Convention,,Research AECT no No http://aectnow.org/podcast/2007/10/23/transforming-teacher-education-examining-pt3-projects-influence-on-methods-courses-and-field-experiences/ http://aectnow.org/podcast/2007/10/23/transforming-teacher-education-examining-pt3-projects-influence-on-methods-courses-and-field-experiences/#comments Tue, 23 Oct 2007 23:27:29 +0000 admin http://aectnow.org/podcast/2007/10/23/transforming-teacher-education-examining-pt3-projects-influence-on-methods-courses-and-field-experiences/ Artist Drew Polly, University of Georgia; Clif Mims, University of Memphis; Craig Shepher, University of Georgia; Fethi Inan, University of Memphis

The intervention has been implemented 5 times across 4 school districts. During each implementation various data were collected and analyzed to aid in the refinement of the program. We will focus on the process and the principles for professional development that have endured across the implementations as well as the changes that have been made.

This presentation describes a blended methodology study that evaluated possible correlations between a culturally anchored characteristic, Individualism/Collectivism, and participants’ interactions within, and reactions to, four components of online learning: synchronous interaction, asynchronous interaction, individual work, and group work. The session also reviews theoretical constructs that support its approach and outcomes, and discusses ideas for additional research on this important area of study.
