Catering for different learning styles
This paper describes a study to investigate the possibility of applying a quick and simple frontâend to multimedia presentations. The frontâend will determine the user's learning style and suggest a suitable navigation method The paper recognizes not only different learning styles which influence learnersâ performance, but also the practical use of valid learning stylesâ measurements

Cognitive style and computerâassisted learning: Problems and a possible solution1
Although the notion of cognitive style has been around for some time, only in relatively recent times has there been a research interest in examining its effect on the performance of ComputerâAssisted Learning (CAL) users. There are a number of practical difficulties associated with catering for different cognitive styles of CAL users. This paper identifies not only a style which influences CALâuser performance and overcomes many of the difficulties, but also a possible suitable measure of that style. Data on the reliability of this measure is reported, along with preliminary work on its use to cater for CAL users with different cognitive styles. Future work will focus on the development of the package and the predictive validity of the style measure

Parameterized complexity of machine scheduling: 15 open problems
Machine scheduling problems are a long-time key domain of algorithms and
complexity research. A novel approach to machine scheduling problems are
fixed-parameter algorithms. To stimulate this thriving research direction, we
propose 15 open questions in this area whose resolution we expect to lead to
the discovery of new approaches and techniques both in scheduling and
parameterized complexity theory.Comment: Version accepted to Computers & Operations Researc
Computer Abuse: The Emerging Crime and the Need for Legislation
Advancements in computerization and the growing use of computers in business, government, education, and the private sector has resulted in the expanding potential for criminal infiltration. The problems of computer crime are in great part attributable to the shortcomings of our criminal laws, which were written long before there was knowledge of computer crimes. Moreover, there is a reluctance of our legal establishments to adapt to the new technology\u27s potential harm. This Note urges that new federal legislation be passed as a means to counteract future computer crimes
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
