Download or read book Applying Collaborative and E learning Tools to Military Distance Learning written by Curtis Jay Bonk and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is a resource guide for those concerned with using collaborative and e-learning environments; those that use the Internet in a military training setting. The report is intended for training developers and planners, instructional designers, and program evaluators. The report offers a broad examination of findings from the educational literature, where the preponderance of research on e-learning tools and collaborative learning (i.e., groups of learners who have a common goal) has been conducted. Reviewed first are the emergence of e-learning tools and constructivism, the role of the instructor in such approaches, and the increasing importance of learner-centered approaches to instruction. Appropriate quantitative and qualitative research methodologies are then described. A summary of relevant findings on collaborative tools, individual differences, and learning communities is also provided. Suggestions are made for experiments that test the adaptability to military training environments of e-learning and collaborative learning methods emanating from education. Ten primary and 17 secondary experiments are devised that derive from current psychological principles in cognition, motivation, social factors, and individual differences as applied to Internet-enabled learning.

Book excerpt: Students linked into a learning environment over the Internet may learn topics better by collaborating to create questions and answers. In research reported here, students used a learning aid for collaborative question generation called Army TEAMThink, a commercial program modified for Army use under a TRADOC Delivery Order contract Research was done at three US Army schools to assess the quality or doctrinal correctness of questions and answers generated by students and to measure any learning benefit. Students first completed a tutorial on how to write effective multiple-choice questions. Next, students wrote questions and reviewed questions written by other students. Based on the feedback from the reviews, authors were allowed to modify their own questions. Finally, students took a test of the questions that had been developed by students using the learning aid. Army subject matter experts judged that most of the questions developed were considered acceptable and could be repurposed for use in course exams. A majority of the question feedback was constructive, indicating that the collaborative process was helpful. Students who went through the process scored higher on a test of novel questions than those who did not use Army TEAMThink. They also scored higher than students who went through the process on a different topic from the test topic, demonstrating a moderate learning effect. The general finding of this research about a collaborative question-generation approach is that instructors can accumulate quality multiple-choice questions and monitor student comprehension, and students have an additional opportunity for better learning.

Download or read book Covid 19 The Economy and Society written by Dr. Tapas R. Dash and published by Allied Publishers. This book was released on 2022-01-20 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current COVID-19 pandemic poses an unprecedented impact on societies and economies around the world. The negative economic shocks intensified by the global pandemic, shutdowns and layoffs, create a devastating effect on the lives and livelihoods of millions. Indeed, over half-a-billion people perished due to the global health crisis. To combat the spread of the virus, governments curtailed the activities of non-essential industries which forced hundreds of millions of workers to get confined to their homes. While the pandemic sparked a global surge in the demand for e-commerce which has pushed many firms to create a digital presence to serve the growing market, the demand for specific sectors such as air transportation, tourism and non-essentials including hospitality and entertainment has vanished. The Cambodian economy, which mostly depends on exports of garments, footwear and textiles; tourism; agriculture; and construction, contracted by 3.1 percent in 2020 (ADB, 2021) due to the global pandemic. As we started to learn about COVID-19 and its impact on public health and economy, CamEd Business School, a leading higher education institution in Cambodia, took the humble initiative to organize an International Research Symposium on November 15, 2020, to highlight—How did a Health Crisis Translate to an Economic Crisis? – The Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic—which resulted in the outcome of this research-based book, COVID-19: The Economy and Society. While the Economy part relates to chapters such as economy, consumer behavior, informal workers, garment sector and logistics, the Society part focuses on education, online learning, creating shared value, civic participation and crowdfunding for social issues. This book is a timely outcome and ideal for academic scholars, industry practitioners and government policymakers.
