Abstract:
The cornerstone of online career guidance systems rests with their degrees of durability, functionality, usability, and applicability over time and across a broad array of career options and scenarios. Students, counselors, employers, employees, and other prospective users must ascertain and experience value and performance from the sites and ancillary services relevant to their own specific career and personal/professional goals and desires. This article highlights how Michigan Virtual University, committed to workforce development using the World Wide Web, has begun to assemble career systems that meet many of these criteria. (GCP)

Abstract:
This paper describes a project in which inservice teachers, who were educated in technology, offered workshops to undergraduate preservice teachers. Project goals were to enhance inservice teachers' ability with technology and to prepare preservice teachers for the use of technology in the classroom. Workshops were held during two semesters. Evaluation involved questionnaires administered anonymously to participants following the workshops. Results for the first semester preservice teachers indicated that they tended to agree to statements affirming their ability to apply what was learned for classroom instruction through the workshops. Results were similar for the second semester preservice teachers for all items except those regarding their ability to help students with databases and spreadsheets. These overall affirmative answers were supported by the answers of cooperating teachers. Inservice teachers tended to view themselves as more capable of helping others with technology than did preservice teachers. Many preservice teachers made positive comments about having inservice teachers conduct the workshops. (Contains 16 references.) (SM)

Abstract:
During academic year 2001-02, approximately 165 students in eight sections of Introductory Spanish and French completed weekly online quizzes as part of their final grades. While most of them completed traditional quizzes, two third-semester Spanish classes completed multimedia listening comprehension quizzes based on audio and video from the Web. All of the quizzes were accessed from the University's Blackboard account. Students were instructed to log in and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the assignment. This paper focuses on creation of the traditional quiz; creation of the multimedia quizzes; and saving and making available the quizzes. It also presents results from anonymous online student surveys that asked about students' experiences with the digital quizzes. Results indicate that the weekly quizzes were viable for foreign language classes. Because the students successfully manipulated the new medium, between 10-15 minutes of class time were saved each week, which were more profitably used in the mastery of course material. Instructor time was also greatly conserved since the quizzes were self-correcting and self-tabulating. Disadvantages to using the Blackboard system included the integrity of the examination process itself (since students were unsupervised during their quizzes) and, for the quiz creator, locating stable, appropriate, and archived audio/video for the multimedia quizzes. (Contains 9 references.) (SM)

Abstract:
A study was conducted to compare the psychometric qualities of two identical forms of a survey administered in paper-and-pencil format and in Web format to 197 teachers randomly split into two paper and Web groups. While the rates of response were quite discrepant, the respective measures of reliability were extremely similar for the two versions of the survey. A followup study was conducted with the nonrespondents in the Web group to investigate reasons behind their decision not to complete the survey. Several methodological issues are raised as a result of the followup. (Contains 3 tables and 16 references.) (SLD)
