A variety of methods have been used to analyze the kinetics of various processes related to the Diet Coke and Mentos experiment (also known as the soda geyser). However, none of these previous reports has undertaken a quantitative exploration of the dynamics of the creation and collapse of the soda geyser itself. We have therefore devised a method…

In the ongoing march of industrial evolution there comes along technologies that have the power to transform businesses as we know it. The Internet revolutionized business/marketing in the nineties and today and bockchain has the potential to do the same for commercial transactions. Blockchain is a peer-to-peer model that can speed up processes…

The theories and practices of economics are important in teaching students and practitioners in the fields of criminal justice, health, and public policy. Criminal justice and health professionals face increased scrutiny due to cost growth and inequities. Practitioners and policymakers can be challenged in their understanding of quantifiable…

This paper illustrates how unbundling has progressed from university-controlled approaches to incorporating partnership organisations into the delivery of university functions, specifically teaching. In this paper, we limit the scope of unbundling to the management of online teachers using three Australian case studies. In the first section, we…

Both the Pathways for Advancing Careers and Education (PACE) and Health Profession Opportunity Grants (HPOG 1.0) Programs sought to apply a career pathways framework in evaluating varied training programs for nontraditional student populations. This framework identifies a set of principles thought to exemplify best practices in employment and…

Electrophoresis is integral to analytical and biochemistry experiences in undergraduate education; however, fundamental principles of the method are often taught in upper-level laboratories through hands-on experiences. A laboratory activity is reported that teaches the concepts of electrophoretic mobility and electroosmotic flow. A single…

In the contemporary educational landscape, Education Technology (EdTech) has emerged as a transformative force, significantly contributing to sustainable development. This analytical overview explores the multifaceted role of EdTech in promoting accessibility, inclusivity, efficient resource utilization, lifelong learning, and collaborative…

Climate change and natural disasters, the COVID-19 pandemic, and geopolitical shocks have increasingly disrupted school education around the world in recent years. Whether leading to school closures, school destructions or repeated interruptions in students' learning experiences, these external shocks have translated into lost learning…

In this work, we have developed an alternative device composed by an Arduino board and an INA219 sensor to experimentally obtain the mathematical formulas describing the charge and discharge of the capacitor for educational proposes. We have obtained excellent agreement between theoretical prediction and experimental measurements. The INA219 DC…

The ability to separate, identify, and quantify proteins from complex mixtures are key foundational methods across biochemistry teaching and research. In particular, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is an important technique that is used to measure antigen concentrations in both industry and academia. There are four categories of ELISA,…

This paper describes a cost effective and safe device to perform realistic experiments on the physics of radioactivity in classrooms. It can be used to study both a- and ß-radioactivity as well as ?-emitters and shows extremely realistic behaviour. The device, in the form of a Geiger--Müller tube, was tested during a public lecture and it deceived…

Problems associated with time-cost trade-offs in project networks, which are commonly referred to as crashing problems, date back nearly 60 years. Many prominent management science textbooks provide a traditional linear programming (LP) formulation for a classic project crashing problem, in which the time-cost trade-off for each activity is…

This work describes the design, building, and testing of miniature, low-cost LED-LDR colorimeters for absorption-spectrophotometry experiments. It also describes using these colorimeters for simplified context-based-learning (CBL) activities in school teaching laboratories and for public-engagement events. The colorimeters are simple and robust,…

The issue of class size is a complex and contested topic that has divided opinion for many years. Whilst many teachers believe that smaller class sizes assist in enhancing outcomes, a number of policy influencers, policy makers and researchers argue that it has little influence on success in learning and that decreasing class sizes is not…

As with the responses to the COVID-19 crisis, technology has a critical role to play in enhancing the resiliency of education systems. The urgency of developing responses highlighted the limitations and consequences of a technological solution that is not complemented with supportive policy and investments in capacity for all the actors:…
