Described is an established geophysics project to construct a solar wind monitor based on a nT resolution fluxgate magnetometer. Low-cost and appropriate from school to university level it incorporates elements of astrophysics, geophysics, electronics, programming, computer networking and signal processing. The system monitors the earth's field in…

This dissertation offers a critical analysis of software practices within the university and the ways they contribute to a broader status quo of software use, development, and imagination. Through analyzing the history of software practices used in the production and circulation of student and scholarly writing, I argue that this overarching…

Background/purpose; There is an ongoing debate on the potentiality of using AI for educational purposes, ranging from some optimistic views that anticipate AI to continue changing the interface of language education on one side, to a more cautious camp questioning the efficacy of the issue. As a significant group of stakeholders in the educational…

In conventional e/m experiments performed in undergraduate laboratories, generally a simple mechanical ruler is used to measure the radius of the circular trajectory of the electrons. But, the measurement error in this technique is mostly big and varies from one student to another. As an alternative to a mechanical ruler, we proposed a more…

Software developers nowadays are adopting agile methods to overcome challenges faced by traditional methods in developing software. However, agile methods lack instructional design to take care of learning needs required in designing software for supporting teaching and learning. This study aimed at designing an integrated model using Feature…

Entity resolution (ER) is an O(n[superscript 2]) problem where n is the number of records to be processed. The pair-wise nature of ER makes it impractical to perform on large datasets without the use of a technique called blocking. In blocking the records are separated into groups (called blocks) in such a way the records most likely to match are…

This paper describes a number of active learning strategies based on implementing the Raspberry Pi as low-cost single-board computing device for carrying out physics laboratory activities. This Microcomputer-Based Laboratory (MBL) Project has been funded by the Baden-Württemberg Foundation and it encompasses the use of high-accuracy yet…

Using a complete data sample of 579 graduating business seniors, this study successfully created separate items for measuring paid internships/cooperative education (co-ops) and unpaid internships/co-ops. Students reported lower frequencies for self-reported paid and especially unpaid internships/co-ops. Several correlates were found to be…

Cross-cultural negotiation courses have been taught for many years both at graduate and undergraduate levels, using conventional pedagogical approaches such as classroom-based lectures, material readings, and paper-pencil based negotiation exercises. In the contemporary world of higher education, it is often expressed by the faculty that students…

The aim of this investigation was to explore student behaviour when students brought their own digital devices into a lecture theatre. A total of 361 undergraduate psychology students from the University of Liverpool who used at least one digital device during lecture time fully completed an online questionnaire (159 first-, 124 second- and 78…

A randomized controlled trial group design study funded by IES NCR Grant R305A090527 was conducted in which 16,307 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students in 52 school grade-level clusters were randomly assigned to receive ST Math (program revision Gen3), a supplemental mathematics software instructional intervention, or to a business-as-usual…

Through colonialism, external forces can alter and shift social structures and practices. It causes trans-generational, often normalized, invisible, and profound marginalization of the collective identities of local and indigenous populations. Decolonization is the resisting and undoing of colonial impacts. It's the process of reforming a…

To guarantee high-quality services, health professionals are required to successfully maintain their extensive knowledge base. M, health professionals are forced to consistently stay up-to-date in their field in which new knowledge is evolving continuously. Hence, there is a strong need for effective support during their lifelong, self-directed…

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether there was a significant effect of Power Point game on young learners' learning motivation and English achievement involving learners' perception of it. Based on the characteristics of quantitative research methods, the post-test only control group quasi-experimental design was used to test the…

The purpose of the current study is to explore Korean middle school students' perceptions and the results of their vocabulary test scores related to vocabulary development utilizing Quizlet language learning software. 520 Korean EFL middle school students in all grades were divided into two groups in each grade: the Quizlet group as an…
