Mastery Learning Instruction versus Traditional Instructional Methods in Eighth Grade Language Arts
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of mastery learning on eighth grade language arts students primarily in terms of academic gains, but subsidiary research questions also focused on the impact of mastery ...
A Case Study of North Dakota Interactive Video Network at North Dakota State University
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
North Dakota State University (NDSU) has delivered courses utilizing the North Dakota Interactive Video Network (IVN) since 1989. The technology used an Integrated Services Digital Network but switched to Internet Protocol ...
An Electrically Small, Wireless Sensor Platform Designed for Arbitrary Orientation
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Wireless sensors are currently used for data collection where it is either too dangerous and/or menial for a human to collect the data or impractical to use wired devices. Current wireless sensors are either too expensive ...
