Abstract
In 1997-98, all Acadia University (Wolfville, Nova Scotia, Canada) freshman undergraduate students were required to lease IBM laptop computers for use in their programs. With corporate support from IBM, the campus was wired so that students could have cross-campus and off-campus access to a host of network software as well as the World Wide Web. The Acadia University laptop project, coined the "Acadia Advantage " (AA) was a first in Canada. This fully-wired campus and student access to laptop computers allowed for innovative approaches to using computers in classroom instruction. An electronic portfolio assessment strategy was implemented in both Secondary and Elementary Science Education courses for Pre-service Teacher candidates. A survey of the impact of this electronic environment on students ' attitudes reveals that students continue to require significant introduction to the technology in order to overcome the associated anxiety. In a 10- to 13-week course, such a time commitment to the technology may not be reasonable. In future offerings of the course, a preliminary workshop will be offered. (Contains 13 references.)

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; the direct Gemma label and the distilled Codex classifier agree on what is shown here.
