Murray Goldberg is widely known in national circles for his inspiring presentations about
the use of technology in teaching and learning. Murray focuses on Computer-Aided Learning
(CAL), the application of computers to the educational process. Examples of CAL include
simulation software (such as flight simulation), computer-based testing (as one might
experience when being tested for a driving license), and on-line courses (developed by
large companies or universities). Our initial interest in CAL was in the evaluation of both
acceptance and the resulting academic performance of students learning in such an
environment.
Murray's presentation will explore the application of CAL by using examples from a
specific course using the World Wide Web. The course material consists of
interactive exercises, interactive simulations and demonstrations, on-line notes,
student-instructor communication mechanisms, student-student communication mechanisms,
progress tracking, navigational aids, student evaluations, a glossary and a bibliography.
Course design was influenced by an evaluation of student performance and a questionnaire
developed with the assistance of the Center for Applied Studies and Evaluation at UBC.
In addition, Murray will demonstrate the resulting teaching/learning environment from the
student and instructor perspectives. A general discussion to answer audience questions
will follow.
