An IT Based Framework for Effective Learning and Teaching_计算机网络论文 An IT Based Framework for Effective Learning and Teaching_计算机网络论文 Abstract In this paper the 4P IT based framework for effective learning and teaching is proposed. This framework combines the theories of cognition and multimedia to help deliver effective learning by selective rehearsal and effective teaching through multimedia and traversal history. A modular approach is adopted for the teaching language because text and speech can be changed and replaced to suit the learning community. The prototype has been tested with different subjects in the BAC (hons) program in the PolyU and the preliminary outcome indicates that the 4P framework is indeed an effective solution.

Introduction In this paper the 4P (P for principal elements) IT based framework for effective learning and teaching is proposed. The preliminary test results with the prototype confirm that the framework is indeed an effective solution and further work in the same direction is definitely worthwhile. One of the many test cases is selected for demonstration later. In the context of this project, effective learning means making the learning process easy, interesting and stimulating. It is important objective to make the learning process location-independent and this involves exploitation of the Internet and web technologies. In effective teaching and learning, it is normal to include progress measurement (e.g. tests) to evaluate student achievement. The measured result enables teachers to judge how to help individual learners better. The rationale is to identify the weakness of the even the brightest students so that measures can be tailored to help them excel. In the process, effective learning (EL) and effective teaching (ET) are bridged to form the two halves of an effective education cycle. The 4P framework emphasizes on supporting the process of reh
