Micro-credentialing is rapidly growing globally as learning that is both life-long and lifewide and this has only accelerated due to COVID-19. To understand what this means for higher education, The Australasian Council on Open, Distance and eLearning has conducted two surveys on the implementation and practice of micro-credentialing in the…

Providing students with high quality feedback is important and can be achieved using computer-based systems. While student and educator perspectives of such systems have been investigated, a comprehensive multidisciplinary study has not yet been undertaken. This study examines student and educator perspectives of a computer-based assessment and…

Background: Cloud computing has recently received interest in information systems research and practice as a new way to organise information with the help of an increasingly ubiquitous computer infrastructure. However, the use of cloud computing in higher education institutions and business schools, as well as its potential to create novel…

The 2019 edition of the "Digest of Education Statistics" is the 55th in a series of publications initiated in 1962. The purpose of the "Digest" is to provide a compilation of statistical information covering the broad field of American education from prekindergarten through graduate school. It contains data on a variety of…

Discusses the use of an instructional morphological parser (IMP) in the teaching of courses in theoretical and computational morphology. Provides an overview of computational morphology. Outlines the two courses and speculates on computational and linguistic concepts that students learned. Examines problems encountered in teaching about recursion.…

This study investigated the attitudes toward statistics of graduate students who studied advanced statistics in a course in which the focus of instruction was the use of a computer program in class. The use of the program made it possible to provide an individualized, self-paced, student-centered, and activity-based course. The three sections…

The 2017 edition of the "Digest of Education Statistics" is the 53rd in a series of publications initiated in 1962. The "Digest" has been issued annually except for combined editions for the years 1977-78, 1983-84, and 1985-86. Its primary purpose is to provide a compilation of statistical information covering the broad field…

It contains data on a variety of topics, including the number of schools and colleges, teachers, enrollments, and…

Computer-aided modifications were introduced to an established project in a master of business administration (MBA) program aimed at introducing the principles of creative problemsolving. In general, students overcame technical complexities quickly and the modifications allowed for greater interaction, monitoring, and feedback. (Author/CH)

Presents an instructional activity in which graduate students examine information about a case, then render an opinion based on the referral. Uses a computer program to create an interactive format in which students can experience authentic cases. Suggests that case studies be used as the basis of class discussion. (DSK)

This document contains the papers on graduate and inservice teacher education from the SITE (Society for Information Technology & Teacher Education) 2001 conference. Topics covered include: media literacy across the curriculum; contextual learning about information technology (IT); IT in teacher education; reform in a graduate school…

Describes the design and installation of an Internet gopher server to support classroom instruction and professional development projects in a graduate college of education. Topics include use by administrators, selecting the most appropriate technology, hardware and software selection, and informational resources of the gopher. (Author/LRW)

Explores the possibility of a doctoral degree program in computers and writing by distance. Reports current developments in graduate education by distance with particular attention to the types of students best served by such programs. Proposes a doctoral degree by distance that unites adult returning graduate students with prospective mentors…

This paper reports the results of a five-year case study of the use of online tools: Internet, e-mail, and the World Wide Web, within a Graduate School of Education. The conceptual framework was independently developed, but because of the striking parallel with activity theory, activity theory became the overall framework for interpreting…

This paper summarizes plans to implement portfolio assessment for graduate students in the Instructional Technology program in the College of Education at the University of Houston (Texas). Specific advantages of portfolios, and electronic and World Wide Web formats in particular, hold promise for the development and assessment of the student…
