  • Educational Innovations in Multimedia Systems
    Journal of Engineering Education, 2001
    Co-Authors: Wayne Burleson, Aura Ganz, Ian G. Harris
    Abstract:

    Multimedia systems have emerged as one of the fastest growing segments of computing systems and thus need to be well integrated into a computer engineering curriculum. Fortunately the teaching and learning of multimedia systems can be aided with novel instructional techniques based on multimedia. The Multimedia Curriculum project at the University of Massachusetts Amherst is developing a unified set of instructional materials on the engineering techniques used in the design and test of hardware, software and networks for multimedia. This large project includes three facets: 1) multimedia instructional modules using web-linked Digital Video Disks, 2) multimedia communication utilities to facilitate student interaction, and 3) multimedia component design projects. In this paper, we explain our approach to using multimedia as both content and instructional technology and briefly present preliminary results in each of the three facets.

  • school support and teacher motivation to implement project based learning
    Learning and Instruction, 2010
    Co-Authors: Rebecca Wingyi Cheng, Harriet C Choy
    Abstract:

    Abstract The present study investigated how school support was related to teachers' motivation and willingness to persist in project-based learning. The participants were 182 Hong Kong teachers who completed a questionnaire about their school's support and their motivation to implement project-based learning. The results of structural equation modeling indicated that when teachers perceived their schools as being stronger in collegiality and more supportive of teacher competence and autonomy, they had higher motivation in project-based learning and stronger willingness to persist in this Educational innovation. Perceived school support predicted teachers' attitude for future persistence both directly and indirectly through its influence on teacher motivation. The results suggest that social-contextual factors are important for teacher motivation in the implementation of Educational Innovations.

    Abstract:

    Multimedia systems have emerged as one of the fastest growing segments of computing systems and thus need to be well integrated into a computer engineering curriculum. Fortunately the teaching and learning of multimedia systems can be aided with novel instructional techniques based on multimedia. The DVD project at the University of Massachusetts Amherst is developing a unified set of instructional materials on the engineering techniques used in the design and test of hardware, software and networks for multimedia. This large project includes three facets: (1) multimedia instructional modules using web-linked digital video disks, (2) multimedia communication utilities to facilitate student interaction, and (3) multimedia component design projects. In this paper, we explain our approach to using multimedia as both content and instructional technology and briefly present preliminary results in each of the three facets.

  • student pioneers and Educational Innovations
    Journal of Gerontological Social Work, 2003
    Co-Authors: Abigail Lawrence Phd R Msw, Lily Jarmanrohde Msw, Ruth E Dunkle, Ruth Campbell Msw, Harriet Bakalar Msw
    Abstract:

    Summary Recruitment of students into gerontological social work is an increasingly important issue as the population of older adults grows. This article describes one initiative designed to aid in the promotion of geriatric social work: the University of Michigan's Geriatric Fellowship Program. Using qualitative in-depth interviews with 13 MSW Fellows as well as survey data of 219 MSW students, the authors examine the moti-vating factors that led students to specialize in geriatric social work and to apply for a geriatric fellowship. Family exposure to aging issues, “accidental” exposure through volunteer work, enthusiastic role models, job opportunities, and recognition of a social problem frequently instigated student's interest in gerontological social work. Incentives for application to the Geriatric Fellowship Program include: the unique field placement rotation model, financial support, individualized attention, group learning opportunities, and assistance with job placement.
