Book Description
Integration of emerging instructional technologies into existing training programs has the goal of improving training while reducing costs. Evaluation of new systems in the context of the training program is the best method for determining if this goal is being achieved. The Defense Language Institute (DLI) developed an interactive videodisc (IVD) system for use in the German Gateway course. The IVD system was evaluated in a field test. The objectives of the research were (1) to compare the effectiveness and acceptability of the video-enhanced German Gateway program with the existing German Gateway program and (2) to identify user issues in the adoption of the interactive video course materials. Group comparability was assessed for demographic and German-language-experience measures. Students' German proficiency and attitudes about the course were compared. Language proficiency was measured both by self-report and by pairs of trained raters in an Oral Proficiency Examination. The two groups were comparable on precourse measures with the exception of time in Germany. However, the final examination for the course was changed at the same time as the introduction into the course of the IVD materials and probably contributed to the effect. Listening comprehension of German was also better for the IVD Field Test group than for the Baseline group.

Medieval Scandinavia
Author: Birgit Sawyer
Publisher: U of Minnesota Press
ISBN: 9780816617395
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
The study of Scandinavia has been, and still is, deeply influenced by the interpretation of its earliest history that was developed in the 19th century by political, legal, and literary historians, archaeologists, and anthropologists. Scandinavia figured prominently in discussions of early medieval Europe, not only as the homeland of the Vikings, but also as the region in which Germanic society remained uncontaminated by Christianity and other influences longer than anywhere else. In "Medieval Scandinavia", Birgit and Peter Sawyer question assumptions about early Scandinavian history, including the supposed leading role of free and equal peasants and their position in founding churches. They meticulously trace the development of Scandinavia from the early ninth century through the second and third decades of the 16th century, when rulers of Scandinavia rejected the authority of the Papacy and the attempt to establish a united Scandinavian monarchy finally collapsed. The authors include a discussion of medieval history writing and comment on the use of history in the 16th century and modern attitudes to medieval history which differ in various parts of Scandinavia. They ultimately conclude that historic Scandinavia held greater similarities to other European regions than has been commonly supposed. Birgit Sawyer is one of the founders of the biennial interdisciplinary conferences on women in medieval Scandinavia. Peter Sawyer's previous books include "Kings and Vikings" and "The Age of the Vikings".
