Learning style and learning strategies in a multimedia environment
There is a growing realization that it may be expeditious to combine elements from different theories of learning when trying to derive a coherent and usable policy towards computerâmediated learning. Consideration of the subtle distinction between ComputerâAided Learning (CAL) and ComputerâAided Instruction (CAI) conform the basis of a possible classification of computerâmediated learning, and hence of multimedia tools. This classification enables the development of a continuum upon which to place various strategies for computerâmediated learning, and hence a means of broadly classifying multimedia learning tools
KnowledgePro windows: The order of merit?
The producers of KnowledgePro look set with their latest release of KPWIN (KnowledgePro Windows) to fulfil Richard HaleâShaw's prophecy that it will become âone of the most powerful visual development environmentsâ (HaleâShaw 1992). Comparisons are drawn in this paper between the KPWIN family of products and other authoring tools. The conclusion is that KPWIN is worthy of being included in any courseware developer's tool set. Reasons for preferring a tool from the KnowledgePro family of products for courseware development over three main competitors â Authorware, Toolbook and Visual Basic â are explained, and the merits of KPWIN and KPWIN++ (a version that generates C++ code) are examined

Applying A Methodology For Educating Students With Special Needs: A Case Study
The introduction of innovative educational technologies opens up new ways of interacting with students. We propose to exploit this potential to help in the education of children with special needs. We analyze the state of the art of tools supporting the teaching process, focusing on the omissions of existing research. We propose a new framework to help throughout the whole teaching process and describe its application to Proyecto Aprender (Learn Project), an educational resource targeting children with learning difficulties. Finally, we outline some conclusions and current/future research lines
