This case details a narrative inquiry into the experiences of early career researcher pathways. I conducted conversations with eight early career researchers from three different continents to collect the data for the study. During the study I developed and applied to my data a novel jigsaw analytical process. That process exposes tensions within…

This case discusses the importance of pilot studies within business research. It covers the procedures, evaluation, and lessons learned from conducting a pilot study for an upcoming product launch. The intended product launch was the Edstutia Instructor Certification in Immersive Technologies (EICIT) pilot program. The program focused on extended…

This volume is an important output of the ASSESSnet, an EU-funded project that aimed at investigating assessment practices in Virtual Exchange (VE) projects in Foreign Language (FL) courses at tertiary level. It starts with the discussion of selected aspects of VE and assessment design, and a summary of ASSESSnet project results. The following…

The Evaluating and Upscaling Telecollaborative Teacher Education (EVALUATE) project was a European policy experiment funded by Erasmus+ between 2017 and 2019. The EVALUATE consortium trained teacher trainers and organised virtual exchanges which involved over 1,000 student teachers at over 34 initial teacher education institutions in Europe and…

The 2021 EUROCALL conference engaged just under 250 speakers from 40 different countries. Cnam Paris and Sorbonne Université joined forces to host and organise the event despite the challenging context due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Originally programmed to be held on site in the heart of Paris, France, the EUROCALL organising team and executive…

In this case study, we describe our proposed solution to help students 'see' and understand sub-cellular structures in a three-dimensional virtual learning environment and the challenges of implementing this innovation in Singapore schools. The teaching of molecular biology in Singapore suffers from student disengagement and lack of suitable…

The Innovative Language Pedagogy Report presents new and emerging approaches to language teaching, learning, and assessment in school, further education, and higher education settings. Researchers and practitioners provide 22 research-informed, short articles on their chosen pedagogy, with examples and resources. The report is jargon-free, written…

Favorably reviews "The Other Side," a global conflict resolution simulation available for high school social studies classes. Maintains that this program is well worth the time and effort required to integrate it into the study of modern history and international relations. (JDH)

Describes a computer simulation game that helps teach spatial autocorrelation, a fundamental geographic concept referring to the degree and kind of spatial patterning to be found in geographic data. Experiences with this simulation exercise at the State University of New York Buffalo are briefly summarized. (Author/BSR)

Describes a computer simulation of the U.S. Revolutionary War in which the student becomes an editorial writer for a New York-based newspaper in the 1760s. The students choose editorial policies and cover 27 selected events of the Revolutionary Era. Describes how these events were numerically characterized and accurately represented in the…

Sophisticated simulations using computer graphics can lead to students deducing virtually all conditions of the Central Limit Theorem. Eight graphs illustrate the discussion. (MNS)

Advocates the use of databases and simulations in social studies classrooms. Maintains that quality instruction, both before and after computer use, determines the quality of the learning experience. Provides titles of several simulation and database products. (JDH)

Presented are two problems that can be solved using a computer simulation by students who have completed Algebra II. The distance and bisector formulas and the various forms of the equations of a circle and straight line are the topics. Computer program listings are included. (MNS)

Discussed are seven computer programs: (1) a computer graphics experiment for organic chemistry laboratory; (2) a gel filtration simulation; (3) judging spelling correctness; (4) interfacing the TLC548 ADC; (5) a digitizing circuit for the Apple II game port; (6) a chemical information base; and (7) an IBM PC article database.
