| Abstract: | Increasingly, telematics is being used for distance education in Australia. Two forms of telematics, audiographics and live
interactive television, are described. Audiographics involves two telecommunications links, one which connects computers via
modems and a second link which provides an audioconferencing medium through a normal telephone connection. Live interactive
television involves the combination of a one-way television signal with a toll-free callback telephone enabling students to
communicate directly with the teacher during program transmission. Research and evaluation studies indicate that the interactivity
currently implemented via telematics is minimal and that it does not support higher-order cognition among students. In light
of our investigations and contemporary cognitive learning theory, a number of dimensions of effective interactive learning
with telematics are suggested: (a) collaboration, (b) generative learning, (c) contextual engagement, (d) personal autonomy,
and (e) motivation.
His research interests include instructional technologies and developing effective learning environments for open learning
and distance education.
His specialist areas include evaluating technology-rich learning environments, electronic user performance support systems
and interactive learning systems. |
