Quinn, Diana; Aarão, Jorge – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2020
There are many choices for learning mathematics for engineering students with courses available in face-to-face, blended and fully online modalities. Students are demanding more flexibility in their programs, however the temptation to misuse this flexibility to avoid mathematical studies until it is too late can be an unfortunate side effect. A…

Miller, Cynthia J.; Metz, Michael J. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2014
Ask any professor to describe a "first-row student," and you will likely hear a description of an engaged learner who pays attention during class, takes notes, and asks questions. A research study from the 1980s has indicated that undergraduate students sitting in the front and center of the classroom score higher than other students.…

Odhabi, Hamad; Nicks-McCaleb, Lynn – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2011
This paper investigated the use of special eyeglasses designed with a built-in video camera and microphone for the purpose of recording classroom activities from the point of view of both the professor and the student. The aim is to eliminate the need for dedicated video recording in the classroom. This paper reviewed the various techniques used…

Holbrook, Jane; Dupont, Christine – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2011
Providing students with supplementary course materials such as audio podcasts, enhanced podcasts, video podcasts and other forms of lecture-capture video files after a lecture is now a common occurrence in many post-secondary courses. We used an online questionnaire to ask students how helpful enhanced podcasts were for a variety of course…

Linn, Marcia C.; Chiu, Jennifer – Research & Practice in Assessment, 2011
High-stakes tests take time away from valuable learning activities, narrow the focus of instruction, and imply that science involves memorizing details rather than understanding the natural world. Current tests lead precollege instructors to postpone science inquiry activities until after the last standardized test is completed--often during the…

Titterton, Nathaniel; Lewis, Colleen M.; Clancy, Michael J. – Computer Science Education, 2010
Lab-centric instruction emphasizes supervised, hands-on activities by substituting lab for lecture time. It combines a multitude of pedagogical techniques into the format of an extended, structured closed lab. We discuss the range of benefits for students, including increased staff interaction, frequent and varied self-assessments, integrated…

Communication and Education in a Virtual World: Avatar-Mediated Teaching and Learning in Second Life
Mon, Lorri – International Journal of Virtual and Personal Learning Environments, 2010
Education within Second Life frequently recapitulates the "sage on the stage" as students sit their avatars down in chairs in the virtual world and listen to or read an instructor's lecture while watching a slideshow. This conceptual article explores alternative active learning techniques supporting independent and collaborative learning…

Levine, Mark F.; Guy, Paul W. – Journal of College Teaching & Learning, 2007
The present study investigates pre-business students' reaction to Activity Based Learning in a lower division core required course entitled Introduction to Global Business in the business curriculum at California State University Chico. The study investigates students' preference for Activity Based Learning in comparison to a more traditional…

Bushweller, Kevin – American School Board Journal, 2000
Tomorrow's "digital" classrooms will still have to develop analogal reading and thinking skills, keep kids grounded in the real world, distinguish style from substance, impart knowledge via lectures, promote linear and synthetic thinking, stress meaningful over fun-filled learning, and provide essential human contact.
