| New forms and techniques of teaching based on
the Internet and on multimedia have appeared in recent years. In
the teleteaching project Virtual University of the Upper Rhine
Valley (VIROR), many Java-based teaching modules were developed
for the topic Compression Techniques and the DCT and given to the
students in supplement to their theory classes. In the present
paper, an evaluation of the efficiency of these modules is
presented. In an experiment on traditional learning versus
multimedia-enhanced learning, not only the motivation, but also
the objective knowledge gain by students was measured. The
students were assigned to different learning settings: One group
of students attended a lecture, while others participated in
computer-based training. Different quality attributions amidst
this second group entailed significant differences in the
knowledge gain, despite the identical learning content. This
encourages some postulations on the attribution for university
teaching software, which we suggest in this paper. |
