- Abstract
- Millions of computer users in the USA have a disability making it difficult to use the Web. The University of Wisconsin System recently required that all System Web pages meet Priority 1 accessibility guidelines as set by the World Wide Web Consortium's Web Accessibility Initiative (W3C/WAI). Class materials available in online learning management systems should also be accessible to students with disabilities. Four systems, Blackboard 4 and 5, Prometheus 3, and WebCT 3, were assessed against theW3C/WAI guidelines for a numerical statistic of accessibility. Practical accessibility was tested with Lynx, IBM Homepage Reader, and JAWS. Validation was performed with A-Prompt and the W3C/WAI checklist.

- Abstract
- Implementation of recommended design strategies can potentially allow any Web-based learning program to be made accessible to learners who use adaptive technologies. However, one of the greatest barriers to achieving this goal is the lack of authoring tools that support course content developers in adhering to existing accessibility guidelines. In order to ensure universal access, attention must be given to Web pages generated automatically by courseware programs, as well as those uploaded from an external source. Courseware authoring environments could easily include utilities to support developers in making their online resources accessible. This paper will review products recently available on the market using the guidelines published by the World Wide Web Consortium's Web Accessibility Initiative as a framework for analysis.

- Abstract
- The Internet can be a valuable tool allowing distance learners to access information not available locally. Search engines are the most common means of locating relevant information an the Internet, but to use them efficiently students should be taught the basics of searching and how to evaluate the results. This article briefly reviews how Search engines work, studies comparing Search engines, and criteria useful in evaluating the quality of returned Web pages. Research indicates there are statistical differences in the precision of Search engines, with AltaVista ranking high in several studies. When evaluating the quality of Web pages, standard criteria used in evaluating print resources is appropriate, as well as additional criteria which relate to the Web site itself. Giving distance learners training in how to use Search engines and how to evaluate the results will allow them to access relevant information efficiently while ensuring that it is of adequate quality.

- Abstract
- This article endorses the use of Web-based instruction for cataloging education as represented by OCLC's online course, Cataloging Internet Resources Using MARC21 and AACR2. This type of instruction is particularly useful to working catalogers (professional and paraprofessional alike) who cannot spare the time or the expense to attend workshops and seminars in order to receive training in the latest developments in the field. The OCLC course also paves the way for a new standardized program of online cataloging education that will be tailored for working catalogers at all levels of expertise and that will offer specialized, yet convenient, training in a wide variety of formats.

- Abstract
- Mit den neuen Medien eröffnen sich auch neue Wege, um Bildung verfügbar zu machen. Das betrifft insbesondere die berufliche Bildung, mit der ein ganz neues Segment auf dem Bildungsmarkt entsteht, aber auch in der Praxis der höheren akademischen Bildung werden die sich neuen Medien zu einschneidenden Veränderungen führen, auf die sich die Lehrer dieser Institutionen einlassen müssen. Es wird sich dabei keinesfalls nur um Verbesserungen oder Verschlechterungen des bestehenden Systems handeln, sondern die Veränderungen werden am Ende ein neues Bildungssystem hervorbringen. Bereits jetzt haben die rasanten Entwicklungen des World Wide Web und der Multimedia-Technologie bewirkt, dass im Bereich der höheren akademischen Bildung Anstrengungen unternommen werden, Lehrinhalte anders als bisher aufzubereiten und den Lernenden auch auf anderen Wegen zur Verfügung zu stellen. Dabei wird bisher hauptsächlich berücksichtigt: (1) Lernen und Lerninhalte müssen flexibler und leichter zugänglich werden, damit daraus dann, wie das Beispiel lebenslangen Lernens zeigt, neue Märkte entstehen können; (2) Multimedia-Werkzeuge sollten die Entwicklung psychomotorischer und intellektueller Fähigkeiten unterstützen, wozu beispielsweise auch Fähigkeiten der Problemlösung und Entscheidungsfindung gehören; (3) Der Einsatz des Internet sollte genutzt werden, um Wissensmanagement und kollaboratives Lernen zu fördern; (4) Das Internet sollte eingesetzt werden, um multikulturelle Kurse und Lernprogramme zu organisieren

- Abstract
- New digital video technologies provide a wide spectrum of multimedia user interfaces for computer assisted instruction on personal computers. Describes an experiment, conducted at the Software Engineering Institute, Carnegie Mellon University, Pennsylvania, using a digital video course on code inspection, to study and determine the effects of such capabilities on recall performance and attitude. Results suggest that the presentation of materials as motion video rather than as a slide show within an interactive video course leads to better recall performance. In addition, the presence of motion video in the interfaces and the use of surrogate travel (virtual reality) for navigation promote better student opinions toward the subject matter

- Abstract
- The focus of the present research has been the development and the application to Virtual Archaeology of a Web-Based framework for Learning Objects indexing and retrieval. The paper presents the main outcomes of a experimentation carried out by an interdisciplinary group of Federico II University of Naples. Our equipe is composed by researchers both in ICT and in Humanities disciplines, in particular in the domain of Virtual Archaeology and Cultural Heritage Informatics in order to develop specific ICT methodological approaches to Virtual Archaeology. The methodological background is the progressive diffusion of Web 2.0 technologies and the attempt to analyze their impact and perspectives in the Cultural Heritage field. In particular, we approached the specific requirements of the so called Learning 2.0, and the possibility to improve the automation of modular courseware generation in Virtual Archaeology Didactics. The developed framework was called SEMANTICA, and it was applied to Virtual Archaeology Domain Ontologies in order to generate a didactic course in a semi-automated way. The main results of this test and the first students feedback on the course fruition will be presented and discussed..

- Abstract
- Along with significant opportunities, Massively Open Online Courses (MOOCs) provide major challenges to students (keeping track of course materials and effectively interacting with teachers and fellow students), teachers (managing thousands of students and supporting their learning progress), researchers (understanding how students interact with materials and each other), and MOOC platform developers (supporting effective course design and delivery in a scalable way). This article demonstrates the use of data analysis and visualization as a means to empower students, teachers, researchers, and platform developers by making large volumes of data easy to understand. First, we introduce the insight needs of different stakeholder groups. Second, we compare the wide variety of data provided by major MOOC platforms. Third, we present a novel framework that distinguishes visualizations by the type of questions they answer. We then review the state of the art MOOC visual analytics using a tabulation of stakeholder needs versus visual analytics workflow types. Finally, we present new data analysis and visualization workflows for statistical, geospatial, and topical insights. The workflows have been optimized and validated in the Information Visualization MOOC (IVMOOC) annually taught at Indiana University since 2013. All workflows, sample data, and visualizations are provided at http://cns.iu.edu/2016-MOOCVis.html.

- Abstract
- Purpose - The paper focuses on e-learning from an information literacy perspective and promotes the view that information literacy education needs to play a central role within any e-learning initiative. The main aim of this paper is therefore to present the claim that e-learning must be supported by an information literacy framework to enable an effective interaction between learners, information literacy educators and complex information environments. Design/methodology/approach - Literature-based analysis of the main issues covered. These include: the challenges generated by the proliferation of digital information and the consequent need for information literacy education to counteract the phenomenon of information overload; the comparison of the information literacy approach promoted by Australia and the USA with the ICT-skills approach adopted by the UK. Findings - Examples of information literacy frameworks promoted by the Association of College and Research Libraries and the Australian and New Zealand Institute are used to illustrate the strong association between the "learning-how-to-learn" model, lifelong learning and the global knowledge economy. The UK perspective on e-learning reveals a similar lifelong-learning agenda, although in this case ICT skills, not information literacy, are identified as a priority, even though the effectiveness of lifelong-learning competences depends on the learner's ability to interact with constantly changing information and knowledge structures. Originality/value - The paper promotes the view that a fully-fledged information literacy education, based on nationally recognised standards, must underpin any pedagogical initiative especially in the area of e-learning which requires the learners' active engagement with a wide range of information sources and formats. The paper is therefore relevant to those professionals involved in the development of policy and provision at higher education level.

- Abstract
- Use of citations and Web links embedded in online teaching materials was studied for an undergraduate course. The undergraduate students enrolled in Geographic Information Science for Geography and Regional Development used Web links more often than citations, but clearly did not see them as key to enhancing learning. Current conventions for citing and linking tend to make citations and links invisible. There is some evidence that citations and Web links categorized and highlighted in terms of their importance and function to be served may help student learning in interdisciplinary domains.

- Abstract
- The Internet, particularly the Web, is a wonderful free source of information that can vastly improve the array of resources available to library patrons. Unfortunately, not all information is honest and accurate, and some of it is not suitable for certain age groups. Students using the Web for research often come upon unsuitable sites. We can get around this by constructing Web learning environments containing safe sites for students. These learning experiences include WebQuests, Pathfinders, Treasure Hunts, Scavenger Hunts, and Tracks.
