On Two Aspects of Improving Web-Based Training

Hermann Maurer (IICM, Graz University of Technology, Austria)

Abstract: In this paper we discuss two novel ideas to improve teaching and information transfer between persons in general. The first aspect is centered around proposing to use the "Tamagotchi craze" for teaching purposes, the second deals with new ways of unobtrusively collecting data on the subjective satisfaction of persons with information and teaching material offered on the Web.
