However, previous studies rely on subjective measures of students' evaluations of their…

Digital simulators have an interesting potential to explain the relationships between two or more variables in a system, facilitating the activation of learning processes and favoring the occurrence of meaningful learning with positive impact on academic performance. To study the impact of the use of digital simulation on learning and academic…

Research mentors can play an active role in helping their students develop oral communication skills by implementing formative assessment activities in their group meetings. A rubric can be used as a formative assessment tool that helps a student understand the achievement target they are working toward, where they are relative to the achievement…

Based on the HTML5 video element, WebVTT (Web Video Text Tracks) and MySQL, we developed a Rich Media Platform for Table Tennis learning (RMPTTL). This platform can support online motion analysis. Meanwhile, social agents (peers, coaches and parents) can leave comments to influence players' participation motivation. A mixed experimental design was…
