- Abstract
- When the Glasgow University Teaching with Independent Learning Technologies (TILT) project began in Jan 1993, its main aim was to demonstrate how IT could be successfully incorporated into university teaching within a single institution. 4 years later, TILT has demonstrated its value in many areas, particularly in library and study skills. More than 130 institutions both in the UK and overseas are now using the 5 hypertext information skills modules as a resource in their undergraduate teaching, and detailed evaluations of their effectiveness have been carried out. Discusses the development and evaluation of the courseware and details its transformation from Guide through Toolbook to WWW

- Abstract
- Assessment of Computer Based Training (CBT) are difficult to generalize, but some evidence suggests that CBT can be more cost effective that traditional classroom teaching, with comparable student learning. Reviews the current literature and describes an empirical study of CBT effectiveness for teaching microcomputer software in a required college level business class. Students were divided into an experimental class (using CBT) and a control group (using traditional lectures). An analysis of inflential learning factors could find no meaningful differences between these 2 groups. The statistical results of 6 different course performance measures indicated that the experimental students performed as well as the control studuents on homework assignements and hand-on skill tests, and were equally satisfied with their training

- Abstract
- Reports on a 1992 study, commissioned by the UK Universities and Research Councils Joint Network Team on the potential impact of the high speed SuperJANET network on teaching and learning practices in universities. Structured interviews with staff at Cambridge and Kent universities were used to predict and identify any inhibitors and actions necessary to ensure effective take up. Estimates the costs of providing infrastructures within sites. Follow up interviews were carried out in 1994. Increased optimism was found and an increased feed of active research into teaching using network resources

- Abstract
- The interest of Australian academics in library and information studies is manifest in 2 themes: technology for information practice and technology for learning. These themes underlie the integration of information technology into education for information professionals. Surveys carried out in the early 1980s highlighted the applications of technology, particularly in online cataloguing and online searching. The study reported in this paper aimed to explore the extent of use and non-use od computer-assisted learning and teaching in Australian schools of library and information studies in the early 1990s. The results indicate more widespread use of computer-assisted learning than computer-assisted teaching. There is considerably diversity in courses where computer-assisted learning is included in the packages used by students. More than half of the schools surveyed have plans to extend computer-assisted learning over the next three years. In order to take full advantage of the potential of computer-assisted learning, academies in schools of library and information studies in Australia will need to cooperate with each other, with academics and industry-based colleagues in computer-based training and education, and with similar schools in overseas countries

- Abstract
- This article discusses the rapidly emerging field of computer-based assessment for adaptive content in e-learning (National Research Council, 2001), which we call differentiated e-learning. In e-learning products, a variety of assessment approaches are being used for such diverse purposes as adaptive delivery of content, individualizing learning materials, dynamic feedback, cognitive diagnosis, score reporting, and course placement (Gifford, 2001). A recent paper at the General Teaching Council Conference in London, England, on teaching, learning, and accountability described assessment for personalized learning through e-learning products as a quiet revolution taking place in education (Hopkins, 2004). In our study, we examine approaches for the use of assessment evidence in e-learning in four case studies. The products in the case studies were selected for exhibiting at least one exemplary aspect regarding assessment and measurement. The principles of the Berkeley Evaluation & Assessment Research Center Assessment System (Wilson & Sloane, 2000) are used as a framework of analysis for these products with respect to key measurement principles.

- Abstract
- Reports a study of undergraduate students' use of computer-based information retrieval services in relation to their cognitive and learning styles. Includes a survey of staff at Sheffield University, UK on their use of computer databases and the extend to which undergraduates are made aware of these services. Results show that undergraduate use is low and varies greatly between students of differnt faculties. Student searching behaviour was found to be basic and their performance inadequate. Significant correlation's between cognitive and learning styles and search behaviour were found. Computer-assisted learning (CAL) packages were developed and customised for 3 departments. Guidelines were drawn up based on the project's findings for introducing a computerised information sources programme into the undergraduate curriculum and preparing CAL teaching packages on information skills
