Strategies enabling wireless deployment to facilitate extension of fixed telecomputing services, curricular enrichment, and instructional delivery and enhancement are delineated. The RAGS architecture and quiz file structure support a variety of potential uses of interactive quizzes. RAGS supports traditional use of interactive quizzes as students' tools forself-assessment and instructors' tools for assessment of topical understanding. The flexibility of RAGS allows for more creative use of interactive quizzes as guided laboratories, walking students through an interactive experimental environment. RAGS quizzes provide immediate and relevant feedback to both students and instructors.
Instructors receive by email summaries of each student's performance on a quiz.
RAGS is a versatile tool easing the creation and enhancing the usefulness of Web-based curricular materials. This study focuses on issues related to the use of compressed video as a medium for distance learning courses. The purpose of the study was to uncover the technical and pedagogical issues within the pilot program. The first issue was the technical capabilities of the proposed medium of compressed video and the related logistics for implementation. The second concern was the conflict between traditional university course pedagogy and an effective pedagogy for the technology.
