Vanesa Mirzaee; Samia Khan

World Conference on E-Learning in Corporate, Government, Healthcare, and Higher Education 2009 (Oct 26, 2009) pp. 976–985

Abstract: We introduce the 4C Database , a Web 2.0 case study database repository that facilitates performing cross-case analysis between case studies stored in it. We present the design motivations and technical structure of 4C, along with a...

Dynamic Computer Analogies and Conceptions of Chemical Equilibrium

Vania Chan; Samia Khan

World Conference on E-Learning in Corporate, Government, Healthcare, and Higher Education 2009 (Oct 26, 2009) pp. 864–873

A computer simulation program that utilizes a dynamic analogy to represent Le Chatelier's Principle was studied to investigate how the analogy contributed to students' conceptions of chemical equilibrium. 46 Grade 12 Chemistry students interacted...

Integrating Computer Simulations into Chemistry Classrooms: An Interactive Approach for Learning Le Châtelier’s Principle

Svetlana Trey; Samia Khan

World Conference on E-Learning in Corporate, Government, Healthcare, and Higher Education 2005 (October 2005) pp. 2444–2448

It is essential to investigate how classroom activities and interactions with computer simulations contribute to students' understanding of unobservable processes in science. To accomplish this, we developed and implemented a computer simulation as...
