Teaching and Learning in an Interactive Multimedia E-Learning Environment
Sharon London & Mike Mitchelmore & Michael Cavanagh &This project investigated how teachers used the HOTmaths learning system in laptop learning environments. It took place in 8 Year 9 classes at three Catholic secondary metropolitan NSW schools. Each school used laptops in a different configuration, and selected teachers in two schools were provided with extensive professional development. Data on the implementation were collected via classroom observations, interviews with teachers, and pre- and post-testing using the ACER PATMaths test. The results indicated significant improvements in student performance of the intervention groups as compared with the non-intervention groups
