Full textAbstract:
PCs have become a widespread technical tool in foreign language training (FLT), comparable to language labs or video recorders. Authoring programs enable the creation of learning programs, tailored to the specific needs of a certain group of learners and -- of the greatest benefit -- they can be made by the teacher. A typology of authoring programs in CALL with their different features (reconstruction, rearrangement, matching, transformation, multiple choice, vocabulary data bank, simulation) will be presented. Examples from widespread authoring programs demonstrate the teacher's programming effort and various screen presentation methods. An overview of programming possibilities shows the general potential of authoring programs. A catalog of requirements of teaching/learning-software helps to evaluate technical performance and efficiency.

Full textAbstract:
<p>The Mango Suite is a set of three freely downloadable cross-platform authoring programs for flexible network-based CALL exercises. They are Adobe Air applications, so they can be used on Windows, Macintosh, or Linux computers, provided the freely-available Adobe Air has been installed on the computer. The exercises which the programs generate are all Adobe Flash based. The three programs are: (1) Mango-multi, which constructs multiple-choice exercises with an optional sound and/or image; (2) Mango-match, which is for word/phrase matching exercises, and has an added feature intended to promote memorization, whereby an item must be matched correctly not once but an optional consecutive number of times; (3) Mango-gap, which produces seamless gap filling exercises, where the gaps can be as small as desired, down to the level of individual letters, and correction feedback is similarly detailed. Sounds may also be inserted at any desired points within the text, so that it is suitable for listening or dictation exercises. Each exercise generated by any of the programs is produced in the form of a folder containing all of the necessary files for immediate upload and deployment (except that if sound files are used in a Mango-gap exercise, they must be copied to the folder manually). The html file in which the flash exercise is embedded may be edited in any way to suit the user, and an xml file controlling the appearance of the exercise itself may be edited through a wysiwyg interface in the authoring program. The programs aim to combine ease of use with features not available in other authoring programs, toprovide a useful teaching and research tool.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Promoting creative thinking in children has been an issue of critical importance to educators. Research shows that appropriate uses of computer programs such as word processing, computer imaging, and Logo programming have the potential to enhance children's creativity. Little is known, however, about the impact of hypermedia technology on children's creative thinking. This study examined whether engaging elementary school students in hypermedia authoring would promote their creative thinking. It was found that after engaging in an extended period of hypermedia authoring, the fourth graders increased their creativity scores in a number of areas. The low and intermediate ability students appeared to benefit from the hypermedia authoring environment more than the high ability students and working collaboratively on the hypermedia authoring projects enabled students to demonstrate higher creativity scores than when working individually. The findings are consistent with research on hypermedia and creativity with Logo in showing that by offering a new dimension for expressing thoughts and encouraging novel ways of presentation, hypermedia authoring is another way to facilitate children's cognitive development and promote their motivation toward learning.

Full textAbstract:
The growth and popularization of platforms on scientific production has been the subject of several studies, producing relevant analyses of co-authorship behavior among groups of researchers. Researchers and their scientific productions can be analysed as co-authorship social networks, so researchers are linked through common publications. In this context, co-authoring networks can be analysed to find patterns that can describe or characterize them. This work presents the analysis and characterization of co-authorship networks of academic Brazilian graduate programs in computer science. Data from Brazilian researchers were collected and modeled as co-authoring networks among the graduate programs that researchers take part in. Each network topology was analysed with complex network measurements and three proposed qualitative indices that evaluate the publication’s quality. In addition, the co-authorship networks of the computer science graduate programs were characterized in relation to the assessment received by CAPES, which attributes a qualitative grade to the graduate programs in Brazil. The results show the most relevant topological measurements for the program’s characterization and the evaluations received by the programs in different qualitative degrees, relating the main topological patterns of the co-authorship networks and the CAPES grades of the Brazilian graduate programs in computer science.

Full textAbstract:
Critical annotations are important knowledge sources when researching one’s oeuvre. They describe literary, historical, cultural, linguistic and other kinds of information written in natural languages. Acquiring knowledge from these notes is a complex task due to the limited natural language understanding capability of computerized tools. The aim of the research was to extract knowledge from existing annotations, and to develop new authoring methods to facilitate the knowledge acquisition. After structural and semantic analysis of critical annotations, authors developed a software tool that transforms existing annotations into a structured form that encodes referral and factual knowledge. Authors also propose a new method for authoring annotations based on controlled natural languages. This method ensures that annotations are semantically processable by computer programs and the authoring process remains simple for non-technical users.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The article presents programs that implement original approaches to group expert rating estimation and fuzzy inference. They implement probabilistic models based on Bayes’ Formula, previously proposed and published in the works of the authors. In these models, the estimated input data are interpreted as evidence in favor of one or another hypothesis from the set of possible ones, determined by the specifics of the model. All the evidence obtained is, in one way or another, transformed into a set of Bayesian conditional probabilities calculated under the assumption that the corresponding hypothesis is true, and the posterior probability distribution on the set of these hypotheses is used as the output. This distribution is used either directly as a result for decision making, or as a basis for calculating the final result. The features of the software implementation of models on the Java platform are discussed, the advantages of the models, confirmed or identified in the process of software implementation, are noted. The developed programs have a convenient graphical user interface and can be used as decision-making support tools to solve applied problems in the field of expert rating estimation and fuzzy inference.

Full textAbstract:
Although drill and practice exercises continue to account for a substantial proportion of CALL production, most available foreign language programs suffer from expedient programming and poor pedagogy. At the heart of the problem is the failure of language teaching specialists to involve themselves in CALL research and development. In the absence of AI-derived natural language processors, programs based on anticipated student responses remain the only viable means of creating sophisticated CALL lessons. Special purpose authoring languages offer the most accessible approach to such programming, but are seriously hampered by their lack of flexible feedback capabilities. In particular, much greater author control is needed over pattern matching devices to accommodate the processing of non-differential variations in predicted answers. Provided that basic command structures incorporate variable parameters with pre-set, but alterable, default values, increased author management of response handling need not place unreasonable programming denmands upon the courseware designer. In any event, variable lesson parameters are required to enable students to more intelligently exploit the computer-aided learning environment. To demonstrate the feasibility of implementing flexible response handling control, the essential design features of an Australian developed authoring language, EMU, are examined in some detail.

Full textAbstract:
ALICE is a multi-media framework for ICALI programs that is being developed at Carnegie Mellon University. It is not a single instructional program, but rather a set of tools for building a number of different types of ICALI programs in any language. The central components of ALICE are (1) a set of Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools for syntactic error detection, morphological analysis, and generation of morphological paradigms, (2) a set of on-line text, video, and audio corpora that serve as sources of realistic, in-context examples, and (3) an authoring language that allows teachers to configure the NLP tools and excerpts from the corpora into ICALI programs. This paper describes the NLP components of ALICE and the role of excerpts from corpora in treating student errors.

Full textAbstract:
The prospect of making computer games has often be used to “hook” students into learning programming or cognitive skills. There is, however, little research on using computer game design classes to teach computer skills. This article provides an answer to the question: Can a computer game design course employing the new generation of game authoring tools set middle school students on the path of learning a broad and sophisticated range of computer skills? The answer, based on the senior author's experiences teaching such a course eight times is, Yes. Students learned: an authoring system specifically designed for creating computer games; Windows 95 file management and other basic computer literacy skills; how to integrate outputs from several programs in one project—a form of computer literacy vital for multi-media designers; “if-then-else” logic; and rudimentary knowledge of programming with real-time events. Students also mastered a process for creating unique games and developed skills as autonomous learners.

Full textAbstract:
Education and Training Panel SP-9's 1991 report, "Recommendations on the Use of Interactive Instruction for Training Shipyard Trade Skills," indicates that although very few American shipyards have used it or are familiar with it, interactive multimedia has great potential as a low-cost, effective method for the training of skilled trade tasks. These findings led SP-9 to develop an interactive lesson that demonstrates how interactive multimedia can be integrated into shipyard training programs to reduce training costs, increase productivity, promote quality awareness, and improve worker competence. The demonstration combines computer graphics, animation, still and motion video, sound, and touchscreen interaction to demonstrate the broad spectrum of the interactive multimedia technology. This paper describes the project as an example of how shipyard training departments can develop their own interactive multimedia courseware by determining appropriate applications of the technology; selecting the most suitable hardware and authoring system for delivering the instruction; researching, planning and designing the lessons; and shooting the video, authoring the courseware, and integrating them into an effective interactive multimedia course.

A teaching-oriented multimedia database authoring system, MILES ( Multimediales Informations- und Lehrsystem), has been in development since 1980 in our department. The hardware consists of a network of personal computers connected to digital and, until recently, audio/video storage devices. The system provides a database capable of handling all kinds of multimedia data and computer programs. User-friendly software provides input, editing, retrieval, and communication; the authoring system allows these components to be organized into structures of complex menus, combined with free database access. More than 12,000 components have been stored, including approximately 3,500 pictures. The paper reports on an extensive field test, in which the system has been applied as a common source for all kinds of materials used in teaching physiology to students of medicine. ResuIts show that the "new media" are powerful instruments for improving teaching and learning. However, they should not be expected to provide the sole basis for education. Their application still faces many problems regarding concepts, efficiency, and acceptance by students and staff.

To establish a more comparable, compatible, and coherent system of higher education in Europe, the so-called Bologna Process (BP) has been adopted. As a measure to improve comparability, the BP requires that every study path, module, or course has to define a Learning Goal (LG) which is specified by the conveyed competences. Until now, the expectations towards the BP regarding comparability have not been fulfilled because competences are usually described in form of free text and not in standardized terms. The fact that since adoption of the BP more than 10.000 study programs have been created in Germany outlines a trend which demonstrates the need of improved solutions. Regarding comparability, so-called Competence Frameworks (CFs) with standardized, machine-readable competences are promising tools; therefore, they should be integrated into progressive software infrastructures concerned with creation, management, and execution of study paths, modules and courses. For this purpose, the so-called Qualifications Based Learning Model (QBLM) has been developed. In this paper, we introduce a general system architecture which is designed for realizing Competence-based Learning IT-infrastructures. Furthermore, the conceptual design and prototypical implementation of a Course Authoring Tool (CAT) is described which is based on the QBLM and the information-, content-, knowledge-, and learning management platform Knowledge Management Ecosystem Portal (KM-EP). The integration of the QBLM into Learning Management System (LMS) Moodle which is an underlying subsystem of the KM-EP platform is work in progress.

The use of multimedia in instructional presentations has mushroomed in recent years due to the increased capabilities of computers and the inclusion of multimedia capabilities in most CBT authoring systems and presentation tools. While providing a wealth of opportunity to instructional developers, multimedia is often used ineffectively and may cause a decrease in learning performance. Many claims have been made as to the added effectiveness that multimedia can bring to training programs and presentations. The purpose of this paper is to provide researched-based guidelines for the use of multimedia that can be used by multimedia developers that may not be instructional technologists.

AbstractExperience in developing multimedia programs has found that reliance on commercial developers does not always produce suitable material in terms of pedagogic quality, whereas training content writers as programmers is costly. This paper examines attempts to solve this and illustrates important recent initiatives. The Open University is developing flexible activity-type shells which are content independent. This is matched by an object-oriented approach to the program itself for maximum re-usability. The MALTED project addresses the problem by providing sophisticated authoring tools, but also sets up an asset base to make available re-usable language resources, helping to avoid re-invention of too many wheels.

Just as computer delivered instruction in urban Australian schools remains an unknown quantity, its role in tribal Aboriginal schools and in urban schools which increasingly cater to tribal children is even more unclear. There are some exciting possibilities for Aboriginal education. Computer courseware can provide the highly visual, graphics oriented type of instruction which appeals to Aboriginal children and may tap their learning style. Also, the new technology should be able to overcome limitations of bilingual programs set by the cost of producing language materials for many different language groups. For example, with the Prologic Authoring Language (PAL), it is a simple matter to work through a developed program and change the text from one language to another.

Two of the most frequently voiced criticisms of the competences of the average language student entering higher education are lack of accuracy in the use of the written language and lack of knowledge of linguistic terminology or metalanguage for describing and reflecting on the language being learnt. For some useful background to the controversial position of grammar in foreign language learning with particular reference to CALL see Metcalfe (1992). However, far from becoming a laudator temporis acti of the precommunicative era and advocating a return to ‘traditional’ methods of teaching language and grammar, I want in this survey to examine the opportunities afforded by the growing interest in CALL to try to remedy some of the perceived shortcomings in students' performance and knowledge. The software I want to review covers a wide range, from dedicated grammar programs through content-free and level-free authoring packages to other pieces of software which while not specifically intended for improving students grammatical accuracy, can be applied for such a purpose. In studying these representative examples of current practice I hope to establish what may be the advantages of computer based learning over traditional methods and media in grammar teaching and learning and to identify the criteria for good practice in this type of CALL ware. For a recent survey of the evolution of CALL software see Last (1992).

Summary Objectives: Self-directed and customized medical education programs are gaining importance in health care instruction. We prototypically implemented a repository-driven online computer system (CardioOP) for teleteaching in Heart Surgery. It supports authoring and multiple re-use of multimedia data for different user groups in different instructional applications and therefore requires a process of content management. Methods: We defined objectives for a terminological system to support semantic, cross-media type annotation and retrieval of learning objects: domain completeness, German (natural) language processing, multi-user concepts, extensibility and maintenance, content based annotation and technical implementation. Existing terminologies (ICD10, READ V3, Snomed III, UMLS 1997, MESH) have been analysed according to these objectives. Results: We found that the analysed terminologies did not meet our criteria sufficiently. Therefore, we developed a domain-specific thesaurus, the CardioOPDataClas (CDC). The application of the CDC within a database-driven authoring process using specifically developed tools is reported. Conclusions: Metadata play an important role in the effective discovery and search, access, integration and management of educational multimedia data in medicine but so far, there is no terminology to support content management for instructional multimedia. We prototypically designed and applied a thesaurus for the CardioOP educational system. Additional work is needed to evaluate the system in terms of user-friendliness, concept coverage and information retrieval performance.

This symposium is a follow-up to a sumposium held at last year's HFS meeting. “Training Technology in the 1990s: Development, Application and Research Issues.” Representatives from the three military services discussed how many facets of training technology would affect current and future design applications and research issues relevant to military training systems. Two topics from that session (artificial intelligence and embedded training) and one other topic (computer-based authoring of technical information) have beer selected for in-depth discussion. Each technology is computer-based and has been exploited to only a limited degree. The object of this symposium is to provide a focus for describing how the three technologies are important for emerging and future training systems. For example, nearly all technical information (TI) for maintaining and operating weapon systems in the field is currently paper-based but the Department of Defense is committed to transitioning to electronic delivery of TI within the next decade. Many R&D issues must be resolved in the interim. Similarly, the technologies of embedded training and artificial intelligence have considerable potential for future training systems once a number of R&D issues are successfully addressed. All three services have on-going research and development programs for the technologies covered in this sumposium. Each topic is presented by representatives from at least two military behavioral laboratories: for computer-based authoring, Naval Training Systems Center (NTSC), Naval Personnel Research and Development Center (NPRDC) and Army Research Institute (ARI); for artificial intelligence, Air Force Human Resources Laboratory (AFHRL) and NTSC; and for embedded training, NTSC and ARI. The goals of the symposium are: (1) to make clearer the most pressing R&D issues associated with these technologies, and (2) to discuss how future training systems might incorporate them.

The objective of this article is to identify the main characteristics of scientific research regarding the approach economic about bitcoins. This study is based on bibliometric research and network analysis, with the use of descriptive statistics in 84 articles found on the Web of Science database. The analysis used the programs VOSviewer and Excel. The main results show that Bouri, Bouoiyour, Dyhrberg and Selmi are the authors who published most articles and that the Université de Pau (France) and the University College Dublin (Ireland) are the institutions with most publications. The journal with most publications is Plos One, which presented a 3.057 impact factor. There are only three co-authoring networks with greater expressiveness, however, there are no links between them and the others. Despite the growing number of publications on the subject, the researchs is beginning, showing a wide field of exploration.

Despite its obvious importance, it appears that in many foreignlanguage programs, oral practice is not given as much time andattention as it deserves. Or perhaps it is more accurate to say thatforeign language professionals recognize the need for more oralpractice, but do not have at their disposal a convenient means toprovide it. An online oral practice/assessment platform, SpeakEverywhere, has been developed to fill this void. It allows instructorswithout special computer knowledge to quickly create video-basedspeaking exercises and quizzes for their students to work on outside theclassroom. The instructor can access the oral productions that thestudents submit to the system, and grade them or give individualfeedback on them either in text or audio or both. Using its flexible andeasy-to-use authoring sub-system, it is possible to create exercises ofvarious formats (e.g. Q&A, repeat after the model, structure drills,role-play, and oral reading).

The integration of culture into the language learning experience has always been tenuous either because teachers feel inadequate in their knowledge of the foreign culture or because they have not been adequately trained for the teaching of that culture.This paper characterizes an interactive video project, VIDEODEUTSCH, which facilitates the controlled access of video material and the presentation of other language and cultural materials in a pre-programmed manner. This text can be used by the learner in the laboratory or it can be teacher- controlled in the classroom. The organization of the program allows the student to participate with verbal and nonverbal linguistic and cultural phenomena in a realistic way which begins to approach actual experience in the culture.This paper describes VIDEODEUTSCH in terms of its hardware, its authoring system, the types of visual reference materials used, the organization of the phases which make up each of its units, what it teaches, and gives a sample of its computer programs.

The reports of the demise of the CD-ROM have proved to be a little premature, if one judges by the contents of this issue of ReCALL. Whilst it is true that there is a strong emphasis in the articles by Huw Jarvis, Julie Belz and Lina Lee on the opportunities offered by network-based learning – and the trend towards such a focus is inevitable – it remains the case that the CD-ROM is still capable of rich and significant exploitation, as shown in the articles by Gunther Kaltenboeck and Birgit Winkler. Gavin Burnage argues for a ‘broad inclusive approach to networking’ which declines to abandon the old data-carriers, whether floppy-based DOS programs or CD-ROMs and argues for the pragmatic integration of a wide range of disparate resources into a single, coherent framework. DISSEMINATE, the macro-structure articulated here by Philippe Delcloque and Alexandre Bramoullé, is a concept with a similar integrative ambition but from an authoring perspective.

Full textAbstract:
This research paper, titled “A Comparative Study of Teachers’ Attitudes Toward Population Education in Upper Primary Schools in the Moradabad District” examines the critical issue of population growth and its multifaceted consequences. As India grapples with being the world’s most populous country, this study examines the attitudes of teachers in Moradabad district, shedding light on their perspectives on population education. The objectives of the study encompass understanding variations in teachers’ attitudes based on urban and rural settings, gender, age, educational qualifications, and professional qualifications. Additionally, it was observed that official training on population education is limited, indicating a neglect of its incorporation into curricula.
The study concludes by highlighting the research's educational implications, emphasizing the teachers' pivotal role in disseminating population education. The findings provide valuable insights for developing effective strategies to foster interest among teachers, authoring textbooks, and creating teacher training curricula. The research underscores the importance of addressing population education at various educational levels and within District Institute of Education and Training (DIET) programs.

Teachers College Record: The Voice of Scholarship in Education 115, no. 5 (May 2013): 1–38. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/016146811311500501.
Full textAbstract:
Background In 1991, Savage Inequalities quickly became the most riveting assessment of the inequalities in U.S. public schools. When Kozol visited East St. Louis for his book, the authors of this paper lived and attended schools there. As Kozol's readers in their respective graduate and undergraduate classes, the authors found it difficult to merge his outsider views with their insider experiences because their backgrounds included many unnamed human and structural resources, valuable beyond a dominant and patriarchal framework. Objective The objective of this paper is to resituate Jonathan Kozol's Savage Inequalities by critiquing Kozol's caricaturization of East St. Louis and its schools as places where students and community members lack communal agency and resources. Through the lens of each form of capital from Yosso's (2005) Community Cultural Wealth Model, the authors show how their stories reflected access to various forms of capital as K-12 students in East St. Louis. Research Design The methodological framework for this study is narrative inquiry. The authors storied their East St. Louis experiences by generating a narrative protocol and using the protocol to share their backgrounds, historical and contemporary understandings of East St. Louis, and each author's educational and professional trajectories. Once the narratives were completed, the authors shared and analyzed the narrative texts to identify patterns and emergent themes. Findings The narratives revealed how families, teachers, community centers, churches, and extracurricular programs were sources of familial, aspirational, resistant, navigational, and social capital. The narratives also provided clarity on the power and dignity of “unnamed” family and community structures, even though these forms of capital are rarely explored in the dominant literature. Conclusion The narratives complicate Kozol's interpretation and prompt readers to look at East St. Louis (and other urban communities) with a more paradoxical frame. This study is important for future educators who read Savage Inequalities and misunderstand urban students and families as subjects who need to be saved. Educators and potential educators require a much more complicated view of urban school districts and school children since scholarship can often provide a one-sided picture of inadequacy and despair. The authors contend that although East St. Louis indeed faces critical challenges fueled by racism and classism, the authors re-storied Kozol's narrative to expose the very rich source of community cultural capital that exists in East St. Louis and other urban centers very much like it.

Journal of Medical Internet Research 23, no. 7 (July 12, 2021): e24278. http://dx.doi.org/10.2196/24278.
Full textAbstract:
Background Health professionals initiating mobile health (mHealth) interventions may choose to adapt apps designed for other activities (eg, peer-to-peer communication) or to employ purpose-built apps specialized in the required intervention, or to exploit apps based on methods such as the experience sampling method (ESM). An alternative approach for professionals would be to create their own apps. While ESM-based methods offer important guidance, current systems do not expose their design at a level that promotes replicating, specializing, or extending their contributions. Thus, a twofold solution is required: a method that directs specialists in planning intervention programs themselves, and a model that guides specialists in adopting existing solutions and advises software developers on building new ones. Objective The main objectives of this study are to design the Experience Sampling and Programmed Intervention Method (ESPIM), formulated toward supporting specialists in deploying mHealth interventions, and the ESPIM model, which guides health specialists in adopting existing solutions and advises software developers on how to build new ones. Another goal is to conceive and implement a software platform allowing specialists to be users who actually plan, create, and deploy interventions (ESPIM system). Methods We conducted the design and evaluation of the ESPIM method and model alongside a software system comprising integrated web and mobile apps. A participatory design approach with stakeholders included early software prototype, predesign interviews with 12 health specialists, iterative design sustained by the software as an instance of the method’s conceptual model, support to 8 real case studies, and postdesign interviews. Results The ESPIM comprises (1) a list of requirements for mHealth experience sampling and intervention-based methods and systems, (2) a 4-dimension planning framework, (3) a 7-step-based process, and (4) an ontology-based conceptual model. The ESPIM system encompasses web and mobile apps. Eight long-term case studies, involving professionals in psychology, gerontology, computer science, speech therapy, and occupational therapy, show that the method allowed specialists to be actual users who plan, create, and deploy interventions via the associated system. Specialists’ target users were parents of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, older persons, graduate and undergraduate students, children (age 8-12), and caregivers of older persons. The specialists reported being able to create and conduct their own studies without modifying their original design. A qualitative evaluation of the ontology-based conceptual model showed its compliance to the functional requirements elicited. Conclusions The ESPIM method succeeds in supporting specialists in planning, authoring, and deploying mobile-based intervention programs when employed via a software system designed and implemented according to its conceptual model. The ESPIM ontology–based conceptual model exposes the design of systems involving active or passive sampling interventions. Such exposure supports the evaluation, implementation, adaptation, or extension of new or existing systems.

Full textAbstract:
Eco-friendly building designs that use building information modeling (BIM) have become popular, and a variety of eco-friendly building assessment technologies that take advantage of BIM are being developed. However, existing building environmental performance assessment technologies that use BIM are linked to external assessment tools, and there exist compatibility issues among programs; it requires a considerable amount of time to address these problems, owing to the lack of experts who can operate the programs. This study aims to develop eco-friendly templates for assessing the embodied environmental impact of buildings using BIM authoring tools as part of the development of BIM-based building life cycle assessment (LCA) technologies. Therefore, an embodied environmental impact unit database was developed, for major building materials during production and operating stages, to perform embodied environmental impact assessments. Moreover, a major structural element library that uses the database was developed and a function was created to produce building environmental performance assessment results tables, making it possible to review the eco-friendliness of buildings. A case study analysis was performed to review the feasibility of the environmental performance assessment technologies. The results showed a less than 5% effective error rate in the assessment results that were obtained using the technology developed in this study compared with the assessment results based on the actual calculation and operating stage energy consumption figures, which proves the reliability of the proposed approach.

This review discusses four CALL programs demonstrated during the ANéLA CALL workshop. The programs differ considerably in scope and technical capabilities, although three are aimed at business English and two feature multi-media capabilities. ENID is an idiom-training program offering a wide range of exercise modes to make vocabulary learning challenging and effective. The exercises focus on business English but the contents can be adapted to suit the teacher's own needs. It runs on virtually any pc. American Letterbox is geared towards facilitating the letter writing process by reinforcing the students' awareness of the situational background. Although it almost certainly covers a niche in the market, it suffers from a poor translation of the original Dutch course into English. Voicecart is a sound-enabled authoring system, which makes it possible for teachers to develop their own pronunciation and listening comprehension exercises. It is easy to use and more flexible than the traditional language lab, but teachers might prefer to wait for a version of the program using a type of soundcard which is more compatible with other multi-media applications. English Express is by far the most advanced of the products reviewed. It is a video-supported course covering business English in particular. A full course in English language learning skills offering authentic language use and fully functional, flexible training facilities, it is a great course for institutions and companies that can afford the hard- and software investments.

The article deals with the didactic potential and the possibilities of using educational multimedia applications in the teaching process. In the study the importance of teachers' mastering the skills of using multimedia ap-plications, as well as the knowledge of their essence and capabilities, methodological and psychological-didactic foundations of their usage is stated. The authors consider the notion and types of educational multi-media applications, peculiarities of their usage in various pedagogical scenarios. The technical support for creating multimedia applications by teachers can be represented by the special authoring software tools, that is, programs that provide opportunities for independent building of effective interactive multimedia applica-tions for non-programmers, such as Macromedia Flash, iSpring Suit, Macromedia Director, Authorware Pro-fessional, etc. Multimedia applications can be recommended for usage as a communicative component of the educational environment. The effective performance of pedagogical scenarios of multimedia usage in the ed-ucational process contributes to the development of the learner’s independence and creativity, his active posi-tion as a subject of communicative interaction.

This research aims to promote diversity and inclusion among higher education students by examining the integration of technology into project-based learning (PBL) for English as a foreign language (EFL) teacher candidates. Based on a mixed-methods approach and convenience sampling (n = 84 participants), this study involved pre-service teachers who collaboratively employed several authoring tools to create 16 digital comic strips for teaching English. The focus of the project was on inclusivity, cultural diversity, and affective education. This study consisted of five stages corresponding to different critical thinking skills: comprehension, negotiation, creation, presentation, and evaluation. The instruments used for quantitative data included a pre/post-survey based on two validated scales. Qualitative data were gathered through class discussions and semi-structured interviews. The results, analyzed through SPSS and QDA Miner Lite, revealed that teacher candidates lacked prior experience using digital tools to create EFL-inclusive materials. However, the study also highlighted increased awareness of inclusive education and strong advocacy for the integration of transformative technology in teacher training programs.

As new technologies and learning practices emerge, the way instructional design and learning technology (IDLT) professionals conduct their work evolves. With this constant evolution comes a change in employer expectations of IDLT professionals. This convergent mixed methods study analyzed 130 IDLT-related position descriptions and interviewed 12 IDLT leaders from the K12, nonprofit, higher education, and corporate sectors to identify current expectations related to degree qualifications, knowledge, skills, and abilities expected from IDLT professionals. Results included a preference for a master’s degree-level qualification, at times due to bureaucracy, and an interest in the combination of academic preparation with instructional design experience. Additionally, employers shared that they were interested in an advanced understanding and adaptable application of IDLT theories, models, and frameworks, as well as a need for non-specific IDLT skills (e.g., communication and collaboration) and familiarity with IDLT-related technologies (e.g., learning management system and course authoring software). These results provide valuable insight for those looking to join IDLT field, current IDLT professionals interested in upskilling, and educational programs preparing future IDLT professionals for the workforce.

Abstract The aim of this study was to characterize the knowledge about the joy in children with mild intellectual disability. The premises relating to mental functioning of these children suggest that this knowledge is poorer and less complex than the knowledge of their peers in the intellectual norm. The study used the authoring tool to measure children’s knowledge of emotions including the joy. This tool takes into account the cognitive representation of the basic emotions available in three codes: image, verbal, semantic and interconnection between the codes - perception, symbolization and conceptualization which perform the functions of perception, expression and understanding. The study included children with the intellectual norm (N = 30) and children with mild intellectual disability (N = 30). The obtained results mainly indicate the differences in how the happiness is understood by particular groups, to the detriment of children with disability. The character of the results is largely determined by the level of organization of knowledge about the joy and accompanying mental operations. The results will be discussed, among others, in the context of the adjustment of the programs of lasting increase of happiness for people with intellectual disability.

Full textAbstract:
Building Information Modeling (BIM) can store information of building elements and provide a computational platform for physical analyses for building systems. BIM can resolve several problems throughout various phases of design (as well as construction and operation). While use-cases such as daylight or energy analysis widely take advantage of this computational power, there is no integrated acoustical analysis tool or any external programs with acceptable interoperability within the BIM ecosystem. This study investigates the possibility of developing a BIM-based calculation method based on the most widely used design authoring tool in North America, i.e., Autodesk Revit, to estimate the acoustical properties of buildings with acceptable accuracy and details. A novel algorithm is designed to calculate reverberation time (RT), one of the most critical acoustic indicators of building spaces. The algorithm extracts geometric information from the BIM (i.e., the model); matches it with the physical properties provided by an open-source library; performs the analysis; visualizes the results on the model. The tool is tested over several case studies, and the results have been verified and validated using other existing methods. In the paper, we have studied the acoustical properties of an educational building using the designed tool under various scenarios.

The article examines the content of state-level documents related to the need to train highly qualified engineering personnel for modern Russia, on the need for early career guidance at school. The integration of government documents and documents of the Ministry of Education and Science on the organization of extracurricular activities (2011, 2017) in the context of the Federal State Educational Standard, allowed the author of the article to identify and justify the possibility of orienting students to the choice of engineering professions through the organization of extracurricular activities in a primary school.
To solve the problem of organizing extracurricular activities focused on students choosing engineering professions, the article proposes a system of authoring work programs for extracurricular activities for a primary school. A systematic approach to the design of integrated work programs (mathematics + physics + engineering) was considered at two stages: the propaedeutic stage (grades 5–7) and the pre-profile stage (grades 8–9). The main difficulty in the implementation of work programs by teachers is the selection and design of engineering tasks.
The author of the article has developed three approaches to constructing problems of engineering orientation of mathematical content. The first approach is considered in detail: a contextual (engineering) presentation of a well-known educational task given in a textbook, didactic materials, and other teaching aids. The design and solution of the system of additional tasks to the problem from the geometry textbook for grade 8, where the cross section of the road in the form of an isosceles trapezoid is considered, made it possible to organize a research project for the construction of the highway. The students got acquainted with the types of engineering professions in the construction of the road, learned the incorrectness of some data in the contents of the textbook task and replacing them with possible numerical data in the construction of roads of different types.
Creating a holistic image of the studied task situation in the context of engineering, we develop the creative abilities of students that are necessary both in educational and professional engineering activities of any direction.

Purpose This paper aims to explore gender disparities in the production of tourism knowledge with particular reference to academic journals. Design/methodology/approach Authorship and co-authorship analyses were conducted of data extracted from articles and research notes published between 1965 and 2016 in 25 hospitality and tourism journals. Findings Gender imbalances are evident in the production of knowledge, though the disparities appear to be decreasing. While heterophilic research collaborations (those between men and women) show some evidence of higher productivity, homophilic collaborations (between males) have greater impact. The findings highlight gender imbalances in international collaborations, in SSCI listed journals, in first authoring and by country. There is evidence of higher collaborative levels among male authors and the differences have increased over time. The positioning of men and women within tourism scholarly networks shows no marked differences. Practical implications This data-driven analysis provides decision makers and policymakers with evidence to support well-targeted programs that advance female contributions in hospitality and tourism research collaborations. For example, senior academics and University administrators might offer support for female researchers to become more actively involved in hospitality and tourism research groups and projects. Universities or schools might also seek to encourage collaborations between male and female researchers in their performance indicators. Originality/value This study is one of the first to examine gender disparities and positioning in collaborative hospitality and tourism research.

Full textAbstract:
466 Background: CodeX is a member-driven Health Level Seven (HL7) Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) Accelerator, building a community to fast-track interoperable data modeling and implementation of new FHIR data standards leading to step-change improvements in patient care and research. The Quality Measures for Cancer project asks the question, “Can oncology quality measures be effectively authored and executed using minimal Common Oncology Data Elements (mCODE) — an initiative intended to assemble a core set of structured data elements for oncology electronic health records (EHRs) — and FHIR, given that current measures must be manually collected and abstracted?” The Quality Measures for Cancer project aims to provide a less burdensome path for all parties involved in the quality measure lifecycle to share standardized oncology quality measure data. Methods: The Quality Measures for Cancer project has assembled a team of leading healthcare professionals from American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO), Telligen, Evernorth, and MITRE to create a solution that demonstrates the ability to author and evaluate digital quality measures using FHIR standards, along with mCODE profiles and extensions, for value-based programs and clinical quality improvement in the oncology domain. More specifically, the initial project scope focuses efforts to: Develop a process for identifying the required discrete data to be used for data collection and aggregation; and prove that measures can be authored, generate accurate results, and can be executed using mCODE and FHIR. Results: Over the first year of project work, the Quality Measures for Cancer team has demonstrated that mCODE and FHIR can be used to author and execute oncology measures. The team has fully authored and tested two proof of concept ASCO antiemetic electronic clinical quality measures (eCQMs) using mCODE, FHIR, and the Quality Measures Implementation Guide. A demonstration is available to show the team's recent success with testing the feasibility and value of authoring and executing the two ASCO antiemetic eCQMs using mCODE and FHIR, evaluating the measure, and discussing how burden is reduced for providers, as well as submitters and receivers of quality measures. Conclusions: Long-term, the CodeX Quality Measures for Cancer team posits that by leveraging mCODE and FHIR to assist in the development and authoring of innovative oncology quality measures, real and impactful insight and assessment into true quality measures could be made if mCODE and other FHIR Implementation Guides are implemented and leveraged by an ecosystem of health organizations. This project is acting as an exemplar showing what can be achieved by leveraging several quality-specific FHIR Implementation Guides to create and roll out new, innovative quality measures.

Cooperation networks were presented in relation to institutions and to authors, divided into eight periods (1997-1998, 1999-2000, 2001-2002, 2003- 2004, 2005-2006, 2007-2008, 2009-2010 and 2010-1997).The USP was the institution that most published in this area. In view of the authors, the general period, SILVA, Jorge Ferreira da, stood out with greater amount of links and publications. The results show that the strategy field has grown over time both in the number of accepted articles and publishing research on the links and networks of co-authored found. As an exception to these results, the number of authors who publish their own oscillates between periods although the total number of articles published to widen over time. Thus, there has been an evolution relationship of the structure since the network periods shaped with an increase in volume and research organizations. This research intended to contribute to the development of the field of scientific production in the area of strategy, in order to allow future identification of associations between actors and foster the implementation of these associations to enhance exchange of information and building knowledge in the field.

Full textAbstract:
Objective of the study is to develop and test a methodology for assessing the degree of involvement in the use of ICT in various areas of life. Background. Modern social and physical environments are saturated with digital incentives that encourage people to get involved in interacting with these environments through information and communication technologies (ICT). However, to this date, there are no psychological instruments that comprehensively assess the involvement of individuals in the use of ICTs. Study design. The study was conducted using a socio-psychological survey. To measure involvement in the use of ICT, an authoring methodology was developed and validated. Participants. The study included two samples. The first sample included 859 respondents (average age 36.1 years; 32% of males). The second — 171 respondents (35% of males; age range from 25 to 44 years). Measurements. For data processing, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, Cronbach coefficient alpha, and correlation analysis were applied in the SPSS 19.0 and AMOS 20 programs. Results. Good results of confirmatory factor analysis indicate the presence of reliability-consistency of the methodology. The final version of the methodology includes 4 scales: “Economic actions on the Internet”, “Communication on social networks”, “Using a smartphone”, “A variety of areas of ICT use”. The empirical and external validity of this methodology was also evaluated, as a result of which we received confirmation of these types of validity from the developed methodology. Conclusions. The technique developed by the authors is reliable and valid and can be used both for research and for applied purposes.
