5036.4 Taking educational research online: Developing an online educational research course,
Yuliang Liu, Southern Illinois University, USA
This paper describes how the author used the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development,
Implementation, and Evaluation) of instructional design to design and develop an online
educational research course for the Master’s program in education in the USA. The chapter
contents and activities were developed based on the constructivist approach. Each chapter
included chapter objectives, structured chapter overview, Web sites, online quizzes, essay
questions, and group projects. The author delivered the course to 22 students on WebCT in 2003.
Students generally favored the design and delivery in the online course. Suggestions for designing
and developing future online courses are proposed.

5037.1 Living with new freedom and apartheid: A discursive approach to remembering and
reconciliation, Kyoko Murakami, Brunel University, UK
In May 2004 South Africa will celebrate the 10th anniversary of new democracy, reflecting on its
pasts and defining a new future. This is highly significant to black South Africans, who are still
struggling with the legacy of apartheid. This paper concerns social organisation of remembering
and reconciliation in South Africa, examining how individuals and society make sense of their
traumatic pasts and move forward in building a new nation and identities. Drawing on an
ethnographic research of an international school exchange, I will explore the social process of
memory and reconciliation from a discourse analytic perspective.
5037.3 The storage unit of visual working memory, Zhicheng Jin, Juan Liang, Wenchun Wu,
South China Normal University, China
It's not decisive whether the storage unit of visual working memory is based on objects or features
because the experimental results were contradictory when some researchers compared the memory
accuracies of single-color squares and double-color squares. The aim of these two experiments is
to explore this issue further. In experiment 1, the number of objects is the same but the number of
colors is different. While in experiment 2, the condition is opposite. The result shows the storage
unit of visual working memory is based on features when remembering objects with the same kind
of features.
