Summary
From the Paper
"The Intranet itself needs to have the following: user authentication including single sign-on; personalization; content management and taxonomy definition tools; tools and adapters for integrating content and knowledge management databases; and a strategic plan for how the build out an enterprise-wide portal supports the most commonly used processes in the school including the creating, organizing, managing and publishing content. AMR Research as completed a series of studies showing how portals can be made more effective by streamlining content management strategies and serve as the first step in adopting a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). Their landmark reports by Klein, Russ (2006) and Murphy and Columbus (2002) on the subject includes a methodology for organizing content first by information type intersected by point in the information or task process supported and includes vendor evaluations."

Conclusions
From the Paper
"There is little doubt the advent of new technical innovations and computer assisted methods will increase and that there will be more methods of helping the learning disabled student on the market in the future. There is also no doubt that these technological means and methods do play a very important role in helping the learner in the modern educational context - and particularly the sixth grade student and other young adolescents."
"However what should be continually borne in mind is that technology changes the environments in which we work and learn. These changes should be researched and studied so that the impact of technology does not usurp those positive aspects from previous teaching methods and techniques that have proven to be of worth. There is a tendency in the excitement about new technologies in some quarters to, as it were, to " throw the baby out with the bath water". In other words, while technology undoubtedly brings great advances in the field of learning disabilities, it should also be treated with caution and 'interrogated' so that only the most effective and helpful technologies are employed."

Abstract
The paper creates an instructional design aimed at helping disabled learners access and make use of assistive technologies. The paper specifically examines high school studies, showing the personnel needed to make these decisions, the functions to be served, and the way the technology is to be adapted to the needs of each student and to the needs of the learning situation.
From the Paper
"The purpose is to create an instructional design aimed at helping disabled learners access and make use of assistive technologies, in this case at the high school level. The use of computer-aided instruction (CAI) has been implemented for different types of learner. CAI began to gain a wide acceptance in the mid-1980s. Prior to that time, however, inadequate instructional materials provided for use in CAI caused many instructors and students alike to become disenchanted with the technology. It is significant to note that the technology was not at fault. The fault lay in the adaptation of the technology to the learning environment (Carter, 1994). Many companies have adapted computer learning to the needs of people with disabilities, and the computer allows them to access information easily and often to do so from any location, enabling home study for the severely disabled."

Abstract
Over the last decade, computer use at home, industry and educational sites has risen dramatically. This paper shows how educators now have a wide variety of resources available to them, which may not be traditional resources. Educators who are in the field of teaching must adapt their classroom teaching methods and resources to include the newest technology. With this in mind, the subject of trends for instructional media and technology in the K-12 education setting is a topic in which many educators follow regularly. Because of the wide range of views and technology, many resources concerning this topic can be found.
From the Paper
"The article titled ?Are our children ready for the future? A look at technology in education? by Leslie Prawd (1996), gives a unique perspective of technologies past, present and future in the K-12 classroom. Specifically, Prawd (1996), points out that there are many areas in which classroom technology can improve in order to be ready for the future. In order to improve, there needs to be a commitment from the community and educators. Once this has taken place, educators will be able to continue to include additional technologies into the classroom and students will benefit from the inclusion of technology and the new activities in which they will participate."

From the Paper
"The scenario editor possesses more than 70 pre-scripted event scenarios that allow the instructor to create different situations that occur over the course of treatment of the "patient." Like the patient editor, it allows for tailoring of a standard scenario template to accomplish specific learning objectives or the creation of a custom scenario. Finally, a data recorder creates a precise record of patient interventions done by a specific user at a specific time index, which can be stored or printed for evaluation purposes. "

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The use of technology in instructional delivery in nursing schools has become more and more common in this interconnected world. The Internet provides immense opportunities for the use of such technologies, as many educational institutions are now using these methods to teach those who may not be able to attend traditional classes in a normal classroom setting. The next logical step for many nursing schools has been "expanding their program...to find a solution that would allow them to make their course available via the Internet" (Dimaria & Ostrow, 2004, p. 42).
"The use of web-based conferencing is becoming much more popular today, and in essence is a virtual classroom. This is a great advantage for students who have educational conflicts due to employment schedules, childcare, and/or transportation considerations, which have been common barriers to achieving an education for many.
Since the advent of the "iPod", "pod casts" have been a popular means of obtaining video and audio from the Internet. A student can access and download a lecture from a designated website at the student's leisure, and listen to or view the content at their convenience."

Abstract
This paper examines how, as technology tools become more affordable and educational resources continue to be placed in digital formats, teachers will need to have command of technology tools as a part of their professional skills they bring to their classrooms. It attempts to show how a better understanding of the process that teachers go through to incorporate technology into their teaching will benefit not only other teachers, but also the students who will be learning in those classrooms.
From the Paper
"Strategy begins when a choice is made involving the possible ways of communication. It ends once all the instructions are followed and the desired result is achieved (Marzano, Pickering & Pollock, 1998). There are many different strategies that research have shown affected by the use of technology in the class (Hegarty, Phelan & Kilbride, 1998). These include scaffolding of instruction, modeling, cooperative learning, student choices, self-initiated reading and writing, using different modes of reading, activation of prior knowledge, and student responses to literature. These are just come useful instructional strategies for classroom learning. However, strategy cannot be successful and results cannot be achieved if instructions are violated and/or the choice of technology is inadequate."

"The impact of Internet on the traditional learning system has raised doubts in the minds of the several researchers. John and Donald assert, ?Some persons are so addicted to its use to the extent they have actually flunked out of college, lost their marriage partners, become mentally sick, given up their jobs, and decreased their human contacts. Furthermore, one more researcher asserts that having access to the Internet does not assure that students will use the information accessible to them from the internet will be used to gain useful knowledge."

"Why the student got the answer wrong and the specific answer that was given can tell individuals a great deal about a student. This myth is often very puzzling and upsetting to those that work in the education field because assessment techniques have traditionally looked at answers that are objectively correct (Ingram & Howard, 1998; Ashbaugh & Johnstone, 2000). The idea that there may not be a specific right or wrong answer to a question is an idea that's time has truly come, but many educators still struggle with this concept. How students view information is also important when assessing their abilities, and one study looked at this issue by looking at minor wording changes that were presented to finance students. The study found that information that was presented to students and was conditionally phrased was just as valuable when tests on knowledge were taken than information presented in a literal and traditional fashion (Bodner, Waterfield, and Langer, 1997). It is also important to note, however, that this same study (Bodner, et al., 1997) indicated that individuals in both groups were also tested in a way that required interpretive and creative use of the material that they learned and on this test the group that was given conditional information performed much better."

Abstract
This paper explains that the goal of an instructional improvement plan is to increase overall profitability through a system, which motivates the staff to increase productivity without sacrificing work quality. The author points out that any kind of performance indicator or assessment involves something that can be measured and recorded; therefore, the author uses a survey to evaluate an employee's work habits and ability to handle the workload. The paper relates that the organization should prepare a plan for the next two quarters in which persons requiring training are taken out in groups, one from each major group within the client handling teams so that the working of the teams are not affected; these persons should be trained separately by experts on all aspects of accounting such as changes and common errors.

"One should realize that there are many pieces of equipment and this increases the chances of error due to the human components or the machines. This requires a high quantity of back up information to be stored and Sistersons run a back up tape every night and a back up of the full system every weekend. Even for computer servers, back up is a useful tool. The paperless system also has to be secure as the data stored in the system is very sensitive in nature. This delayed the starting of the system by Sisterson till it was sure that its system was good enough to deter raiders except an industrial grade hack."

Instructional Plan Income Statement, 2004.
This instructional paper consists of detailed instructions for preparing a simple income statement.
2,748 words (approx. 11.0 pages), 4 sources, MLA, £ 58.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper is designed to meet the specific needs of a client (a female shoe store owner) who requires instruction in completing the income statement for her small business. As such, the instructions are geared to the client's level of expertise in the area of accounting and focus largely on enabling the client to prepare her income statement with minimal assistance from professional sources such as an accountant, thus potentially reducing her expenses.
From the Paper
"This lesson is necessary to help my client in two important areas. The first benefit is practical, as my client will save a significant amount of money by learning to develop her own income statement, rather than relying on the expertise of professional accountants. The client has currently clearly indicated to me that they do not have the specific knowledge that is required to complete this task, and I feel that this instructional paper will fulfill this pressing need. The second benefit is less immediately tangible, and is simply geared at improving my client's general understanding of the accounting practices of her firm. I believe that this instructional paper will improve her overall knowledge about her business' finances, and as such may have unforeseen benefits in helping her to manage financial aspects like cash flow, spending, and budgeting."
