WAYS has long been offering tools for social interaction between young scientists - every registered user can blog, announce science events like conferences, or comment on what others have written. Now we have started a collaboration with the German science news channel Wisskomm, which will bring you science news in video format on a weekly basis. For the moment, the service is in German only, but an English version is being planned. To get an idea on how this will look like, take a look below:
Visual forms of instruction
By Abdul Waheed KandhroVisual forms of instruction are increasingly used as a result of the widespread use of video technologies such as broadcasts, teleconferencing, tapes, videodiscs, and emerging multimedia combinations of computer and digital video technologies. The considerable amount of research that stretches back to early work with film, television, and static visual materials can be of benefit in developing these new forms of instruction. The objective of this report is to present a review of the current research literature regarding the use of dynamic video media in instruction. keeping in view the above reality the step is highly admirable and appriciatable.
No copy and paste,
By danielNo copy and paste, please!
Abdul Waheed, your comment above was (except for the last sentence) copied from the abstract of an indeed interesting 1993 (!) paper but it is a bad habit, in particular for a scientist, to copy materials without acknowledging the source. Please always keep this in mind. Daniel
Wisskom newsreel will soon
By MichaelWisskom newsreel will soon also be available at the world lecture project - (wlp)° and once a month they will present one outstanding (wlp)°-lecture. I think this science news channel could also be a good opportunity for young scientists to present their research findings and whatever else you think is interesting enough to publish. I can imagine thy are open for your suggestions.
