Teaching and Technology Techniques for Teachers In Online Learning Environments

When developing and delivering instruction, whether online or not, the use of technology is secondary to well-designed learning goals and objectives. What distinguishes online instruction and technology in the classroom from entertainment or recreation is the conceptual development of teaching techniques based on solid learning theories. This paper proposes a conceptual framework for implementing teaching and technology techniques for online learning environments

Factors shaping the evolution of electronic documentation systems

The main goal is to prepare the space station technical and managerial structure for likely changes in the creation, capture, transfer, and utilization of knowledge. By anticipating advances, the design of Space Station Project (SSP) information systems can be tailored to facilitate a progression of increasingly sophisticated strategies as the space station evolves. Future generations of advanced information systems will use increases in power to deliver environmentally meaningful, contextually targeted, interconnected data (knowledge). The concept of a Knowledge Base Management System is emerging when the problem is focused on how information systems can perform such a conversion of raw data. Such a system would include traditional management functions for large space databases. Added artificial intelligence features might encompass co-existing knowledge representation schemes; effective control structures for deductive, plausible, and inductive reasoning; means for knowledge acquisition, refinement, and validation; explanation facilities; and dynamic human intervention. The major areas covered include: alternative knowledge representation approaches; advanced user interface capabilities; computer-supported cooperative work; the evolution of information system hardware; standardization, compatibility, and connectivity; and organizational impacts of information intensive environments

The Effect of Whole and Part-Task Training and Feedback during Simulated Instrument Flight Training

The most cost effective method for training novice pilot’s instrument flight procedures has not been well investigated. Part-task scenarios condition and a whole task scenarios condition, both with different levels of feedback were compared in a between group study of novice pilots learning a 737 instrument approach with Microsoft ESP flight simulator. The two different types of training methods were evaluated after a series of training exposures by comparing the ability to pass a series of training scenarios along with a final test. This standard was created by 737 pilots, FAA regulations, and 737 instructors. These training methods were also evaluated on which style of feedback produces the best performance score in three sub conditions. The three sub conditions of feedback consisted of elaborative (hierarchal structured) feedback, fixed feedback (knowledge of results feedback), and no feedback. While no difference in the ability to train the pilots in a series of training scenarios was found for the type of training (part-task versus whole-task), fixed feedback demonstrated the best overall performance when compared against the other two feedback conditions
