Abstract: Twenty-one schools from the United States and Singapore participated in this evaluation of a high-school biology multimedia CD-ROM called BioBLAST[R]. Results include a summary of teacher descriptions of their curriculum-based justifications for using this software as well as a compilation of program features that teachers describe as facilitating successful implementation of new learning technologies. Analysis of teacher reports provides a profile of three types of strategies teachers used to implement the program. Analysis of student performance on pre/posttest shows how implementation strategies were associated with student gains in particular schools and classes. A comparison of student pre/posttest scores one year later with previous pre/posttest results suggests that changes in implementation strategies, teacher incentives, or a decrease in support services had a direct impact on student performance. Students with a wide range of prior knowledge were able to use the software and show performance gains appropriate to their knowledge level and experience. (Contains 10 references.) (Author/AEF)
