self regulation goal orientation and academic achievement of secondary students in online University Courses
Educational Technology & Society, 2009Co-Authors: Julia M MatugaAbstract:This study investigated the self-regulation, goal orientation, and academic achievement of 40 secondary students who completed online University Courses in the sciences. Students were enrolled in one of three online University science Courses. Each course was taught by a two-person team, made up of one University science professor and one secondary classroom science teacher, over a 6-week period. This study explored changes in self-regulation and goal orientation of students enrolled in the online course and the relationship between these factors and student achievement. Student data collected to investigate study questions included an abbreviated version (30-items) of the Motivation Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ), collected before and after students completed the online course, and achievement measures (i.e., final grades). Data from application essays and focus interviews, conducted with all participating group members (secondary students, University science professors and the secondary high school teachers), are used to illustrate key findings and probe remaining questions. A description of this program and research resulting from the investigation of online secondary students’ motivation, self-regulation, and achievement in online University Courses is also presented and discussed.

Towards an agile project management in product design
Electronics Technology, 2009. ISSE 2009. 32nd International Spring Seminar on, 2009Co-Authors: Martin MolhanecAbstract:Our article is related to the improvement of the product design project management by using some knowledge transferred from the branch of software engineering. Alongside, we make a mention of using ICT (information and communication technology) and KM (knowledge management) tools. Our aim is to define, clearly and logically, the particular phases of project management process in the frame of the whole product life cycle. The result of our work is a detailed referential description of and user guides for the product design project management process based on an agile project management paradigm. The results of our endeavour will be applied in our University Courses of the product design project management provided by the department of Electro-Technology at CTU FEE in Prague.

predicting retention in online general education Courses
American Journal of Distance Education, 2005Co-Authors: Libby V Morris, Catherine L FinneganAbstract:A classification rule was developed to predict undergraduate students& withdrawal from or completion of fully online general education Courses. A multivariate technique, predictive discriminant analysis (PDA), was used. High school grade point average and SAT mathematics score were shown to be related to retention in the online University Courses. Locus of control and financial aid were able to identify dropout and completion with 74.5% accuracy.

the relative effects of positive interdependence and group processing on student achievement and attitude in online cooperative learning
Computers in Education, 2011Co-Authors: Ronald ZellnerAbstract:This study investigated the effects of positive interdependence and group processing on student achievement and attitude in online learning. Students in three University Courses received initial instruction about teamwork skills and cooperative learning and were randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups in each course. The ''positive interdependence'' and the ''group processing'' groups received subsequent associated skills training. The ''no structure'' control group received no additional training. Following the treatment, the ''positive interdependence'' groups had significantly higher achievement than the ''group processing'' or the ''no structure'' groups. There was no significant difference among any of the three groups on student attitude.

experiences with an interactive learning environment in digital tv
International Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies, 2004Co-Authors: P Aarreniemijokipelto, J TuominenAbstract:In the Motive project, the Industrial IT Laboratory (INIT) of Helsinki University of Technology (HUT) is studying the use of digital TV as a learning environment for University Courses. Funded by the European Social Fund, the project has used its' last years to focus on user-interaction in the digital TV and flexible content production. Practical experience of the learning environment in use has been with the course Local Demands for Global Enterprising where HUT students have had a chance to study a module in an experimental digital TV environment in autumn 2002, That experiment continued with a new version of the course, which started on January 12th, 2004 in digital TV cable networks.
