Subject: Call for reviewers

Voice of Youth Advocates, a bimonthly journal for librarians working with
adolescents in school or public libraries, published by Scarecrow Press, is
soliciting nonfiction reviewers for books of interest to, or use with, adoles-
cents. VOYA is especially interested in reviewers with an expertise in science
and technology areas. Reviewer qualifications include knowledge of the subject,
knowledge of and experience with adolescents in library settings, the ability
 towrite clearly, the ability to compare new books with those already available,
and, barring emergencies, a commitment to meet deadlines (no more than one a
month). "Payment" for this service is a free copy of books reviewed (unless the
publisher only sends galleys), and your review being published if selected by
the editors for publication.  More books are reviewed than we can afford to
publish. If anyone is interested, please send name and mailing address to me
by e-mail.  If you don't want to review but want information about VOYA, please
send the same.
                         Thank you.

This is in response to Mark Whitman's statement about "teachers becoming
increasingly more like barriers to students who can learn more by being placed
directly in contacts with experiences and knowledge such as can be conveyed
through VR". I ask Mark, where did you learn teachers are becoming
increasingly more like barriers to students' learning? Did you ask the
students themselves or did you just assume this is the case? I am currently
doing a study about faculty's use of computers in their teaching, which
involve talking to students. What I hear from such students contradict what
you said about teachers. The students that I talked to see their teachers as
very much part of their learning from technology. They don't see the teachers
being replaced by technology any time at all. Neither are they willing to
forgo the personal touch that their professors bring into teaching. In fact,
they seem to suggest that without the teachers mediating, they may not learn
much from technology, even if they learn at all. I agree with you that
teachers' roles are changing, and may not be the transmitter of all knowledge
to students. They still play the crucial role of bridging students and sources
of knowledge. I think rather than seeing teachers as barriers to students'
learning, we should praise the courage of the teachers who are struggling with
new technologies that they are bombarded with and with which they are doing
their best in order to equip their students for the information age. We should
praise and encourage them as they are trying to redefine their roles and still
give their best to their students and their disciplines. Thank you/Remi

Subject:      Simple/cheap laserdisc control software for PC?

DAN,
    To the best of my knowledge the X-commands which are needed to
control the laserdisc are only available as part of the Multi-Media
extensions of windows 3.1. If you need to control the laserdisc and
cannot run windows your only option on the PC is to generate your
own Barcodes and run it that way. The cheapest solution would be to
use a Macintosh (any one will do it) and a software package from
the  Voyager Company  You could do this entire configuration for under
$1000.00. To run Windows 3.1 with tthe Multimedia extensions,
you would need at leas a 386 machine with 4-5meg of ram, and a software
package called toolbook which has a fairly high learning curve. Since it
is a new initiative to introduce laser discs to the campus, you may be
able to introduce and adopt the Mac platform on which to do it.

Subject:      Re: Non-Systems ID Approaches

Gerald brought up some fascinating thoughts regarding phenomenal
isomorphism in his discussion of soft-system approches to instructional
design.   I agree that ID must be different for different environments and
that a linear approach isn't always the best approach.

In Frames of Mind, Howard Gardner proposes new theories of multiple
intelligences such as spacial intelligence that relies on the senses and
couches visual thinking within spacial intelligence.  Other intelligences
of his theory include musical, logical-mathematical, liguistic,
bodily-kinesthetic and personal intelligences.

Subject:      Re: multimedia definitions

In response to Michael Gaffney,

Thanks for the posting.  As a former chemistry teacher, I built my course
around hands-on experiences, and was at first very skeptical that someone
would want to replace these experiences with multimedia simulations.  However,
Smith and Jones (yes, these are the real names) at the University of Illinois
created a video disk-based freshman chemistry course which I understand is now
used almost exclusively in place of the traditional lab course.  It is my
understanding that students using this method are more independent learners and
generally test at a higher level of understanding of the basic concepts than
their traditional counterparts.  Spin-off benefits include the ability to
simulate investigations that would be traditionally prohibitive due to cost
or safety, the opportunities to gather more data by being able to re-run
trials more efficiently, and a substantial reduction in consummable costs
to the university.

My information is somewhat dated, but perhaps an Illini will read this and
give us more direct observations.  By the way, I believe the Smith & Jones
course is available commercially from IBM.

How are things in NZ???  Warming up?  It is getting colder here by the
day.  My life's goal is to visit New Zealand.  I've been eating Kiwi to
prepare myself.

What do you mean by "non-systems" and "soft systems"?
In my opinion any instructional design can be conceptualized as a
systems approach and that is also the most effective way to do.

Gerry White:

I'm also an ABD working on a distance learning program interested in
 qualitativeaspects of research.  My dissertation will consider text style in
 training
materials used in business & industry (not in a DE program specifically).  A
couple things that would interest me in your study would be gender and the
amount of peer-to-peer interactions vs. the amount of instructor interactions.
The literature suggests in face-to-face interactions both gender & position
(e.g., instructor) have an impact on who says what when...we've notice some
differences in our DE courses in the amount of peer-to-peer vs. instructor
interactions.  Can't comment on gender (98% of the student population at
St. Kate's are women).  Given several experiences where the absence of women
in discussions related to theory on-line, I suspect gender differences will
still be found in your transcripts.

Keep us posted.

The DIH-2100 system is a high resolution color video slow scan system that
transmits color pictures. It works on various interfaces (ISDN, PSTN,
etc) Uses JPEG image compression.

The PCT-15 is a black and white unit for remote operations.

Had someone ask me about this equipment and I hadn't seen it or
knew anyone who was using it.

Thought I might locate someone here who was using this technology.

In relation to your question, i have some answers.  I have just received a
M.Ed in INstructional Technology from the University of Texas at Austin.  My
interests were almost the same as yours.  your best choice is to pursue
either a Master or Phd either in Educational Technology or Instructional
Technology.  These progrrams are usually tailored to your needs.  For
example, i chose courses related to computer based instruction and video
based instruction.  I also chose some writting courses and project
development.  If you are interested in graphics, you will be able to take a
couple of courses in maybe the architechture department.  Courses in
educational design are offered and encouraged.  Education design in the most
important part in all media based instructiona.  Experience has told me that
the most important thing i learned was to design instruction appropriate to
each media.
Any more questions?  Feel free to ask.  i do not regret studying my M.ED in
Instructional Technology.  ONly regret is that i have not been able to get a
job here in Panama.

any suggestions?  sources of jobs?

Many, many thanks to all those who sent me information both directly
and via the list.  I have a number of suggested solutions which
employ different approaches.  These have enabled me to learn more
about the internet at the same time, an unexpected benefit.

Thanks again
Allyn
