The rapid change in technology in recent years has provided the impetus for many instructors to revisit their ideas about learning and student-teacher interactions. Computers offer an easy exchange of text-based and graphic material and increasingly, the ability to observe and hear others in real-time interactions. The use of technology as an instructional delivery tool has, in many cases, changed the way faculty teach. Teaching online can be challenging and it helps to start slowly and work up to the more complicated and involved pedagogical models. This paper discusses studies evaluating the effectiveness of computer-aided instruction (CAI), offers suggestions for developing a web-based CAI program, relates the experiences of one college of pharmacy with CAI, and offers teaching tips for the digital age.

Since the 5Ds Model for Planning and Teaching Online Courses was republished for the second time in 2009 and updated in the years beyond, numerous relevant models and approaches for online teaching have been emerging. Also, the utilization of the internet as an instructional delivery medium for both formal education and training has been widened as the number of online learners of all kinds has been on the rise. This is all happening as the web-based and instructional technologies are constantly changing and new challenges and opportunities in the online learning arena are evolving. This chapter presents some summaries of the emerging online learning research, web-based instructional technologies, and identifies some of the opportunities in this online learning field.

Penelitian ini merupakan suatu tinjauan tentang model pembelajaran dan bagaimana penerapan dari model cooperative learning yang berbasis komputer, ditinjau dalam bidang pendidikan, serta dampak yang ditimbulkan dari penerapan model pembelajaran ini. Ada potensi besar dalam menggunakan model cooperative learning berbasis komputer untuk mengubah bagaimana kita belajar dengan memanfaatkan teknologi yang mengubah kelas tradisional menjadi kelas modern. Dengan penerapan model cooperative learning di berbagai bidang ilmu ini diharapkan dapat meningkatkan hasil belajar siswa di sekolah maupun diperguruan tinggi. Pada kajian ini banyak tenaga pendidik yang menggunakan media pembelajaran berbasis Computer Aided Instruction (CAI) sebagai alat bantu proses pembelajaran bagi Dosen. CAI adalah suatu system penyampaian materi pelajaran dengan berbantuan komputer yang menggabungkan beberapa media pembelajaran yang interaktif dan menarik kemudian dirancang dan deprogram ke dalam system tersebut.

This study presents a standardized approach to collecting, registering, and reporting field-survey data for baseline MAES (Mapping and Assessment of Ecosystems and their Services) information in Greece. This is accomplished through a web-based platform (MAES_GR) exclusively developed under the relevant, nation-wide LIFE-IP 4 NATURA project. Based on the European Commission’s guidance for ecosystem condition (EC) and ecosystem services (ES) MAES studies, we conceptualized and structured an online platform to support EC and ES assessments, integrating all relevant fields of information needed for registering EC and ES parameters. A novel algorithm calculating EC was also developed and it is available as an integral part of the platform. The use of the MAES_GR platform was evaluated during nationwide field surveys efforts, increasing time efficiency and reducing costs. Field recording of EC and ES pinpoint spatial priorities for ecosystem restoration, conservation and sustainable development. This work highlights that MAES implementation can be favored by the use of technology tools such as mobile survey platforms, developed according to scientific needs and policy guidelines. Such tools, apart from the data inventory phase, can be used for data analysis, synthesis and extraction, providing timely, standardized information suitable for reporting at the local, regional, national and European Union scale.

Abstract Although the impact of dementia on the health and well-being of those living with Alzheimer’s Disease and related Disorders (ADRD) and their care partners has been widely studied, less attention has been paid to how the disease impacts individuals within the context of their larger social networks. This symposium presents findings from a series of integrated studies aimed at strengthening measurement of health and well-being among older adults with living with dementia and well-being among members of their social networks. Findings will be presented from five studies: (1) a scoping review of social network measurement in older adults in chronic illness, including dementia, that emphasizes the use of technology in measuring older adults’ social networks; (2) a simulation study to evaluate the feasibility and reliability of sensor technology to measure social interaction among a person living with dementia and others in their immediate surroundings; (3) development of a web-based application that allows older adults to map and activate their social networks; (4) a qualitative analysis of interviews from persons living with dementia, their unpaid caregivers, and paid caregivers from an adult day health program concerning well-being focused outcomes; and (5) a mixed methods analysis of the feasibility of using both traditional and novel measures of health and well-being deployed among networks of people living with dementia. Emerging technologies for measuring social networks health and well-being hold promise for advancing the study of the relationship-based nature of care for people living with dementia.
