Assignment Three



Information on Problem-solving, Multimedia encyclopaedia and Electronic books:


Problem-solving:
Problem- solving is a general category for teaching problem-solving strategies and sometimes associated with the cognitivist learning theory (students are explicitly taught specific cognitive strategies).
It is designed to promote students higher-order thinking skills such as logic, reasoning, pattern recognition and strategies.
Computer presents fairly complex problems helping students to learn and improve their problem-solving skills. Problem –solving software is similar to simulation software because they often need to manipulate variables.


Multimedia encyclopaedia:
Multimedia refers to computer programs and products which involve sound, pictures, films as well as texts.
Encyclopaedia is a book or set of books in which facts about many different subjects or about one particular subject is arranged for reference, usually in alphabetical order.
When we club this two words together “multimedia encyclopaedia” we get a beautiful meaning that, it’s a huge database with full text, still images, animation, audio and video.
It’s basically used to access any desired information and even download relevant data.


Electronic books:
Electronic book is as same as an e-book. It presents textual information for reading and moreover it is supplements multimedia information like sounds, spoken voices, pictures and animations.
One good thing about electronic book is that it can be used by the students as a tutor to learn reading, spelling and word skills. Above all while reading the information, students may click on hypertext links to jump to material which has been cross-referenced in the text. It provides a fun learning environment and arouses curiosity in students to explore on their own.

  5. You have put in your hard work in both task reading and integrating them into a precise and understandable form in your blog. You have mention all the benefits hat all this things can bring in the overall process of teaching and learning such as it promotes high-order thinking and so on. You have very hard to put them in your own words as far as possible. you have also highlighted how this things are been used by the students in the works. Regarding the electronic books, you said that it is same as e-book but i guess it is the short form of electronic book.
