The foundation for much of the technology being used in today’s classroom is the Microsoft Office suite. It is fast becoming the integrated software package of choice for many schools and school districts. Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and Access are the staples for many students and teachers. Complimenting these capabilities, Internet Explorer and Netscape Communicator are the tools of choice for accessing the World Wide Web. Why not help teachers utilize these same tools to develop text, visual, and Web-based materials for the classroom, and leave the more complex and costly packages to multimedia designers and commercial artists? The success of this philosophy has been borne out by a blistering growth in applications from K-12 classroom teachers, technology coordinators, and corporate trainers.

This introductory chapter describes the elements that will be covered in this book. It introduces child firesetting as a national problem, responsible for significant individual and societal consequences. It elaborates on rates of firesetting in juveniles and describes the characteristics of children who play with fire, as well as family characteristics and correlates. The chapter cites the need for assessment and evaluation tools, emphasizing that assessment should be tailored to the population and the context in which the problem is documented and managed. The current state of interventions and treatment is discussed, including surveys of community-based intervention programs. Recidivism is covered, citing statistics from various surveys. The chapter concludes with an overview of this clinical guide.

Technology is always advancing; furthermore, the economy and demographics, both at global and local levels dictate changes that businesses need to consider for future planning. Like all businesses, most academic institutions need to follow trends and offer new and up-to-date learning initiatives. This chapter discusses the assessment and evaluation of Web-based postgraduate and undergraduate programmes, at the Business School of a London-based university. The study reviews relevant literature, investigates student and staff views on the use of technology in learning, and reflects on the planning and management of two Supported Open Learning (SOL) programmes. It also offers suggestions for future programmes and courses designed for use with e-learning technologies.

ABSTRACTHow practitioners conceptualise motor development has important implications for clinical practice, including the framing of the cycle of assessment, prioritisation, intervention, and reassessment. The flexibility and inclusiveness of these frameworks effectively determines what kind of questions are able to be asked concerning the developmental characteristics of children, the kinds of assessment and evaluation tools used to evaluate those characteristics, and the understandings of the processes of motor development that ultimately derive from those investigations.

This paper provides the results of a questionnaire constructed to solicit information about the creative structures that dramatherapists and psychodramatists are using in therapy with Looked-After children (LAC) and young people. After a brief account of the research itself the results are presented; this starts by defining the assessment and evaluation tools that are used by the practitioners. The particular needs of this client group are examined and what follows is the analysis and explanation of the creative ways in which the practitioners meet the needs of LAC and young people.

In recent times play-based learning has become more prevalent in New Zealand primary schools. The notion of learner agency has also emerged as a priority for educators. Learner agency is underpinned by a strong foundation of theory that has the potential to find synergies with play-based learning. Based on research across three primary school classrooms, this paper conceptualises learner agency as occurring on three separate levels in the classroom—type of learning, direction of learning, and evaluation of learning. It is the evaluation of learning where play-based educators may benefit the most from an agentic perspective. It is suggested that primary classroom teachers seeking to evaluate play-based learning should adopt a dialogic approach to evaluation based on asking questions that are focused on the four key properties of agency, which are: ideas, planning, action, and self-reflection.

Purpose One of the great strides to develop a health information system is to define the requirements of the systems. This paper aims to identify and collect the requirements for designing a Web-based repository of evaluation tools for health-related software products. Design/methodology/approach The current qualitative-review study is conducted in four phases including searching databases, reviewing websites and similar repositories, holding focus group discussions with a group of experts and determining the essential requirements for designing a Web-based repository, and also drawing the unified modeling language diagrams using Visual Paradigm software for displaying the necessities which were gathered. Findings The requirements for designing a Web-based repository are provided in five main categories: technical, structural, content, legal and others. In general, creating a repository takes considerable time and effort, as well as going through the steps of the system’s life cycle. Originality/value In this study, the first and the most significant step is creating an developing a reasonable system identifying the system requirements, which is successfully conducted. The requirements given in this study will be used in the next steps, which make use of programming languages such as PHP and HTML, so as to design a Web-based repository for health product software evaluation tools.

<p>Science Education Seminar course aims to develop the communication skill of students. The materials and assignments are given to train how to communicate effectively both written and orally. The tasks consist of the scientific papers analysis, conceptual article draft, and other assignments. It took longer time to assess those assignments with only pencil and paper methods therefore a web-based alternative assessment was designed to assess the assignments. Web-based alternative assessment (e-assessment) can facilitate students and lecturer in the process of collecting and assessing tasks. The validation score by the assessment expert of the four aspects resulted 94,64%, 92,86%, 91,07%, and 92,86% meanwhile the score of expert information systems was 90, 63%. Thus the product can be said as valid in very feasible category with the average score of 81.5%. The percentage of positive responses of students was 84,43% that indicates the product is effective to help students and lecturers in the assessing students’ assignment and performance. Therefore, it can be said that the research has met the indicator of feasibility to result a valid and effective product.</p>
