Investigamos la posibilidad de obtener patrones semánticos a gran escala para cualquier lengua usando solamente análisis superficial y generalizaciones semánticas básicas. Siendo este un experimento exploratorio sólo hemos realizado una evaluación cualitativa. Hemos comparado varios patrones semánticos de traducción de…

The purpose of this study was to assess the pedagogical equivalence, as determined by knowledge gains, and the pedagogical effectiveness of certain components in a video-driven multimedia, web-based professional development training program as compared to a traditional, face-to-face program under…

This study had three purposes: Firstly, to develop a categorization of research areas in distance education; secondly, to identify the most important research areas in distance education; and thirdly, to identify the most neglected research areas in distance education. Based…

Adult learners value the flexibility and convenience offered to them as online learners, and many learners are required to absent themselves from their online classes during courses in order to accommodate demanding schedules. What factors and tensions contribute to learners’…
