In this article, we describe the Journal of Interactive Media in Education (JIME). JIME's peer review process is designed to promote multidisciplinary dialogue through the use of a purpose-designed Web document-discussion interface. This innovative peer review model and the resulting enriched digital documents illustrate some of the possibilities for promoting knowledge construction and preserving intellectual products in digital scholarly publications. We present JIME's technical infrastructure, editorial policy, and peer review process, and discuss how these features are used to support the journal's goals. Finally, we conclude by considering what aspects of our approach might be suitable for e-journals in other disciplines.}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/210686e6b8fb57233dd0317e3dcee9f47/yish}, keywords = {JIME culture jime08 journal opencontent} } @article{avoideqnarray, title = {Avoid eqnarray!}, author = {Lars Madsen}, journal = {PracTeX}, number = 4, year = 2006, description = {Whenever the eqnarray environment appears in a question or an example of a problem on comp.text.tex or the TEXhax mailing list there is a large chance that someone will tell the poster not to use eqnarray.

In the past, however, video communications have never gained widespread acceptance. Here we identify possible reasons for this by examining how the spoken characteristics of video-mediated communication differ from face-to-face interaction, for a series of real meetings. We evaluate two wide-area systems. One uses readily available Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) lines but suffers the limitations of transmission lags, a half-duplex line, and poor quality video. The other uses optical transmission and video-switching technology with negligible delays, full duplex audio, and broadcast quality video. To analyze the effects of video systems on conversation, we begin with a series of conversational characteristics that have been shown to be important in face-to-face interaction. We identify properties of the communication channel in face-to-face interaction that are necessary to support these characteristics, namely, that it has low transmission lags, it is two way, and it uses multiple modalities. We compare these channel properties with those of the two video-conferencing systems and predict how their different channel properties will affect spoken conversation. As expected, when compared with face-to-face interaction, communication using the ISDN system was found to have longer conversational turns; fewer interruptions, overlaps, and backchannels; and increased formality when switching speakers. Communication over the system with broadcast quality audio and video was more similar to face-to-face meetings, although it did not replicate face-to-face interaction. Contrary to our expectations, formal techniques were still used to achieve speaker switching. We suggest that these may be necessary because of the absence of certain speaker-switching cues. The results imply that the advent of high-speed multimedia networking will improve but not remove all the problems of video conferencing as an interpersonal communications tool, and we describe possible solutions to the outstanding problems. }, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/22c3c8ea8d02ca747e69cf75eb5f48ff1/conferencepro}, keywords = {advantages, disadvantages, journal technology,} } @article{69, title = {Research on Teletraining: Student Acceptance, Learning Effectiveness and Cost Benefits in the Corporate Environment Keywords- Teaching, Commerce, advantages, video conference, journal }, author = {Alan G.

During 1984, comparisons were made between face-to-face courses and a teletrained delivery mode; no significant differences were found at the .05 level of significance between the two methods in either the course relevance and design or the quality of instruction categories. A short questionnaire was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the teletraining programs; 91.6% of the students who responded indicated they would participate in future teletraining courses. Cost benefit analysis substantiates the fact that teletraining is a cost-effective alternative to face-to-face delivery of training. Additional benefits include: the ability of the medium to reach remote, low density areas; the ability to add multiple locations to a training session; the flexibility to increase the number of students who can be reached at one time; the ability to quickly disseminate information to an entire sales force; and the ability to share limited instructor resources. It is pointed out that without the NTN, much of the current update training would not be attempted due to various constraints, e.g., the high cost of travel and travel time.

The four Es in the model, derived from a series of previous studies (Collis & Pals, 1999), are environmental factors, effectiveness, ease of use, and (personal) engagement. The model was first tested using factor-analytic procedures on the results of a 54-item questionnaire adminstered via the WWW to a sample of 550 persons from 39 countries. Twelve factors with eigenvalues greater than 1.00 were extracted and latent variables were generated to correspond with the factors. The factors as interpreted by items with loadings <0.500 supported the 4-E Model, but indicated that the four theoretical e dimensions could be further expressed in terms of subaspects. In addition, a series of variables related to likelihood of use of e-mail, the WWW, and videoconferencing in educational settings was also subjected to a factor analysis, resulting in three latent variables representing the dependent variables for a causal model. The causal model linking the latent variables was tested using a series of LISREL analyses, one for each of the derived dependent variables. The results, which again supported the 4-E Model, showed a strong contribution of the environment subfactor relating to the organization, as well as the engagement subfactor relating to the individual’s self-confidence with respect to technology use to the prediction of implementation success. Based on the results of the factor analysis and the model validation, six of the latent variables related to the 4-E Model were identified as key to implementation prediction. These variables were used in a series of analyses of key subgroups in the sample, relating to educational sector, educational role, to gender, and to age, in order to examine key discriminating variables.
