Download or read book Doeblin and Modern Probability written by Harry Cohn and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1993 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wolfgang Doeblin, one of the greatest probabilists of this century, died in action during World War II at the age of twenty-five. He left behind several seminal contributions which have profoundly influenced the field and continue to provide inspiration for current research. This book is based on papers presented at the conference, `Fifty Years after Doeblin: Developments in the Theory of Markov Chains, Markov Processes, and Sums of Random Variables', held at Blaubeuren, Germany, in November 1991. Presented here for the first time is an account of Doeblin's life and work, revealing the circumstances of his tragic death in 1940. Organized into sections according to topic, the papers describe both Doeblin's original contributions as well as current developments. With contributions by top probabilists from sixteen countries, this book will interest both researchers in probability and science historians.

Download or read book The Virtual University written by Susan D'Antoni and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: E-learning and the virtual university are examples of the use of information and communication technology (ICT) as a teaching and learning approach and an organizational structure. Both raise issues associated with the phenomenon of cross-border education. This publication explores the related ICT policy, planning and management implications of several new or reorganized institutions of higher education. Three background chapters describe the context - the trends and challenges and the impact of cross-border education. Eight case studies from different regions and representing various institutional models tell the story of their development and relate what they have learned.

Download or read book Concepts of Matter in Science Education written by Georgios Tsaparlis and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-07-09 with total page 535 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together a wide collection of ideas, reviews, analyses and new research on particulate and structural concepts of matter, Concepts of Matter in Science Education informs practice from pre-school through graduate school learning and teaching and aims to inspire progress in science education. The expert contributors offer a range of reviews and critical analyses of related literature and in-depth analysis of specific issues, as well as new research. Among the themes covered are learning progressions for teaching a particle model of matter, the mental models of both students and teachers of the particulate nature of matter, educational technology, chemical reactions and chemical phenomena, chemical structure and bonding, quantum chemistry and the history and philosophy of science relating to the particulate nature of matter. The book will benefit a wide audience including classroom practitioners and student teachers at every educational level, teacher educators and researchers in science education. "If gaining the precise meaning in particulate terms of what is solid, what is liquid, and that air is a gas, were that simple, we would not be confronted with another book which, while suggesting new approaches to teaching these topics, confirms they are still very difficult for students to learn". Peter Fensham, Emeritus Professor Monash University, Adjunct Professor QUT (from the foreword to this book)

Download or read book Distance Education written by David Sewart and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-24 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Distance education, for long the Cinderella of the educational spectrum, had emerged in the 1970s and early 1980s as a valued component of many national educational systems in both developed and developing countries. The foundation of the Open Universities, developments in communications technology and in audio-, video- and computer-based learning, a new sophistication in the design of print-based materials and better support systems for the student learning at a distance had all contributed to the availability and quality of distance education programmes. Originally published in 1988, this book chronicles this great change in distance education. It presents the best writings on the subject published during the previous ten years. The articles selected for this volume provided a new scholarly basis for the theory and practice of distance education. The editors have brought together contributions from many countries and present authoritative introductions to each of the nine sections. This book provided those in both developed and developing countries with a guideline to one of the most rapidly expanding areas of education at the time.

Download or read book Instructional Use of Microcomputers written by Denyse Forman and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A three-phase exploratory study was conducted to make available to British Columbia schools the best in microcomputer hardware, to assist project coordinators and teachers in the integration of microcomputer courseware into the established curriculum, and to evaluate the project. In the first phase, the Apple II Plus with 48K was selected for use, 12 pilot sites were chosen from the 50 proposals submitted, and inservice training was provided for teachers. The second phase concentrated on the integration of courseware into the curriculum and the development of quality curriculum-related courseware. In addition to serving as a center for the gathering and sharing of information on instructional uses of microcomputers, the project team from JEM Research developed an index of educational courseware for the Apple II, a courseware evaluation instrument for use by curriculum selection committees, and a reference manual with guidelines for courseware development. The third phase, running concurrently with the second, continued research into hardware, software, courseware, and applications; provided field liaison services; and surveyed participants to identify microcomputer uses, teacher preparedness, opinions, and perceived needs. Survey data, conclusions, and recommendations conclude the report. A literature search and a 57-item bibliography are attached. (LLS)
