Abstract Details

2009, Master of Education (MEd), Bowling Green State University, Technology/Manufacturing Technology.
How will the educational community choose to communicate its knowledge today and in recent years to follow? With personal multi-media devices, non-linear social networking tools, and by the minute updates to everything in our lives, educational information delivery methods must continue to evolve to keep up with these ever changing trends. This thesis investigates how students learning styles, preferences and requirements are changing in the face of asynchronous information delivery methods in their own lives for leisure, interpersonal communications and entertainment. As these asynchronous and non-linear methods increase in presence and speed, careful attention must be paid in the educational realm to ensure that these styles and requirements are being met. Through an experiment, students will be presented with concurrent information in both a traditional lecture environment, as well as an environment that contains an additional self-directed Wiki-based module, including all of the same relevant information for asynchronous exploration.
