Effectively incorporating web tools into the community college composition curriculum

This project shows how web tools can be effectively integrated into the community college composition curriculum through staff development. It shows the need for adaptation of materials designed for K-12 education to the community college level and the development of grade-appropriate materials using web resources. The need for authentic assessment is explored and the means to prove it were supplied. Examples of web tools, sites for developing web tools and resources for accessing and applying authentic assessment tools were given

Evaluasi Efektifitas Tayangan Multimedia yang Disajikan pada Seminar di BATAN

ABSTRAKTayangan multimedia merupakan alat bantu yang banyak digunakan pada saat penyajian hasil penelitian pada suatu seminar. Tayangan multimedia yang efektif akan dapat meningkatkan daya tangkap peserta dan mampu mengkomunikasikan buah pikiran antara penyaji dan peserta. Untuk mengetahui tingkat efektifitas tayangan, telah dilakukan evaluasi terhadap 30 tayangan hasil penelitian yang dipilih secara acak pada 3 seminar di BATAN. Dari 30 tayangan yang dievaluasi, 28 tayangan milik penyaji dari BATAN dan 2 milik penyaji dari luar BATAN. Parameter yang dievaluasi dibatasi hanya 10 parameter dan substansi dari materi tidak termasuk dalam parameter yang dievaluasi. Evaluasi dilakukan secara visual dengan metode analisis kuantitatif dan pendekatan analisis kualitatif diskriptif sederhana. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan bahwa tayangan yang disajikan memperoleh nilai rata-rata terendah 1,5 dan tertinggi 2,6 dengan skala penilaian 1 - 4. Nilai tersebut mengindikasikan bahwa tayangan tersebut dikategorikan kurang efektif. Nilai tayangan milik penyaji dari BATAN dan luar BATAN tidak terdapat perbedaan nilai yang mencolok.ABSTRACTEvaluation on the Effectiveness of the Multimedia Presentation presented at Seminar in BATAN. Multimedia presentation is a tool that is widely used by researcher in presenting the research results at a seminar. An effective presentation will be able to improve participants comprehension and communicate ideas between presenters and participants. To determine the level of effectiveness of the presentation, an evaluation of 30 presentations from 3 seminar in BATAN which were selected randomly has been conducted. Among 30 presentations to be evaluated, 28 presentations belong to the Batan presenter and 2 presentations belong to the presenter from outside BATAN. The evaluated parameters were limited to only 10 parameters and the content of the presentation was not included in the evaluated parameters. Evaluation was performed visually using quantitative analysis and a simple qualitative descriptive analysis method. The result showed that the evaluated presentation obtained the lowest average score of 1.5 and the highest average score of 2.6. These values indicated that the presentations were categorized less effective. There was no significant difference in score between the presentation belongs to presenters from BATAN and presenters from outside BATAN.

STUDENTSKA SAMOPROCJENA KOMPETENCIJA RAZVIJENIH TIJEKOM PREZENTACIJA SEMINARA NA ONLINE PROGRAMU

The purpose of this article is to present the results of students’ self-evaluations of their developed presentation competences during their seminar presentations as a part of both a human resource course and an organizational dynamic course in the online master program International Management. Video pedagogy employed in the courses was assessed and its effect on competency development was questioned. The main research question was which aspects of presentation competence the students develop while delivering, watching and discussing online presentations, according to their self-assessments. The methodology of self-assessment of the gained competences questioned the development course-embedded presentation competence in a virtual learning environment. A questionnaire was sent to all students attending the courses during two academic years. Students rated their acquired skills on the 7-point Likert scale. The results proved hypothesis that students had developed their online presentation competences and that they had become more self-confident. The course designers gained the feedback regarding the collaborative tool, course organization and original aim to develop presentation skills in the virtual classroom. Improvement of these exercises, meaning instruction, design, and feedback will be employed the following next year.Svrha ovog rada je prikazati rezultate samoevaluacije studenata, u kojoj su studenti evaluirali razvoj svojih prezentacijskih kompetencija na kolegijima ljudski resursi i organizacijska dinamika, održanim na online specijalističkom programu Međunarodni menadžment na DOBA Fakultetu. Procijenjena je video pedagogija tih kolegija i propitan njen utjecaj na razvoj kompetencija. Glavno istraživačko pitanje je koji vidovi prezentacijskih kompetencija studenti razvijaju prezentirajući, sudjelujući i diskutirajući tijekom online prezentiranja, a prema vlastitim procjenama. Metodom samoprocjene propituju su stečene prezentacijske kompetencije u virtualnom obrazovnom okruženju. Upitnik je bio poslan svim studentima koji su sudjelovali na navedenim kolegijima tijekom dvije akademske godine. Studenti su ocjenjivali svoje stečene vještine na 7 stupanjskoj Likertovoj skali. Rezultati su potvrdili hipotezu da su studenti stekli online prezentacijske kompetencije i povećali svoj samopouzdanje. Dizajneri obrazovnog sadržaja dobili su povratnu informaciju o suradničkom alatu, organizaciji kolegija i originalnom cilju da razviju prezentacijske vještine u virtualnoj učionici. Poboljšanje korištenih vježbi, konkretno uputa, dizajna i povratnih informacija, provest će se iduće akademske godine

Definición teórica de las características del ciberperiodismo: elementos de la comunicación digital

El estudio del ciberperiodismo, como nuevo medio de comunicación, exige una investigación teórica básica que permita, en primer lugar, definir con claridad los conceptos y características que definen el nuevo fenómeno. En este artículo hacemos un recorrido por los postulados teóricos de esos conceptos: hipertextualidad, interactividad, multimedialidad y memoria. Hacemos también referencia a las corrientes metodológicas empleadas para su medición y estudio. La conclusión es que nos encontramos frente a un nuevo medio con nuevas características que, correctamente definidas, pueden ser observadas empíricamente, lo que nos permitirá establecer las correspondientes tipologías genéricas

Supporting multimedia user interface design using mental models and representational expressiveness

This thesis addresses the problem of output media allocation in the design of multimedia user interfaces. The literature survey identifies a formal definition of the representational capabilities of different media.as important in this task. Equally important, though less prominent in the literature, is that the correct mental model of a domain is paramount for the successful completion of tasks. The thesis proposes an original linguistic and cognitive based descriptive framework, in two parts. The first part defines expressiveness, the amount of representational abstraction a medium provides over any domain. The second part describes how this expressiveness is linked to the mental models that media induce, and how this in turn affects task performance. It is postulated that the mental models induced by different media, will reflect the abstractive representation those media offer over the task domain. This must then be matched to the abstraction required by tasks to allow them to be effectively accomplished. A 34 subject experiment compares five media, of two levels of expressiveness, over a range of tasks, in a complex and dynamic domain. The results indicate that expressiveness may allow media to be matched more closely to tasks, if the mental models they are known to induce are considered. Finally, the thesis proposes a tentative framework for media allocation, and two example interfaces are designed using this framework. This framework is based on the matching of expressiveness to the abstraction of a domain required by tasks. The need for the methodology to take account of the user's cognitive capabilities is stressed, and the experimental results are seen as the beginning of this procedure
