Contribution: A novel approach to remote instruction in 802.11 technology is described using the virtual lab technology. Background: Lab-based education has been a staple of computing education for decades. By interacting with the technology, students are able to gain a much greater understanding of the subject through hands-on activities.…

Prior research has investigated whether learners spontaneously adapt their encoding strategies in anticipation of particular test formats (i.e., the "encoding-strategy adaptation hypothesis"; Finley & Benjamin, 2012). However, the strongest evidence supporting this hypothesis is confounded with test experience (as argued by Cho &…

Service-learning is an important practice in higher education, allowing institutions to combine essential campus functions of research and learning with meaningful engagement in the community. As service-learning has made its way into institutional strategic plans, libraries have sought to support this work by integrating community engagement into…

Youth sport is habitually promoted as an important context for learning that contributes to a person's broader development beyond sport-specific skills. A growing body of research in this area has operated within a life skills discourse that focuses on useful, positive and decontextualised skills in the production of successful and adaptive…

In the more than 12 months since the detection of novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes the disease known as COVID-19, science has moved rapidly to increase understanding of the disease, which is now a pandemic with public health preventive measures to curb the spread of infection. Consensus on the effectiveness of simple, cloth face…

This literature review explores prior research involving physiological-based mobile educational systems. Mobile computing is advancing, and implementations of ubiquitous systems for educational purposes are increasing. Another growing field is physiological computing, where the user's states are retrieved and applied as control inputs in…

Research indicates that engagement acts as an important precursor for learning, yet sustaining the engagement of pupils with special educational needs can be a challenge for classroom staff. An Active Support staff training package, Interactive Training, has been demonstrated as an effective way of increasing engagement in adults accessing…

Background: Community engagement has recently become a focus in engineering education. However, systematic reviews that catalog best practices and identify research patterns and gaps remain scarce. Purpose: The purpose of this systematic review is to generate insights and findings by reviewing studies focused on community engagement programs in…

Different methodologies applied in human and non-human primate studies limit the comparisons that can be made. The early communicative gestures of 10 children between 7 and 12 months were analysed using a descriptive approach usually found in non-human primate studies. Silent-visual gestures were the most used, followed by contact and audible…

This article aims to propose a theoretical framework, based on the literature, that supports the growth of students' physical literacy in physical education. The framework features a trained educator who seeks to establish a positive climate for learning based on the creation of a positive culture of movement. It features meaningful student…

A novel educational tool helps teach intestinal absorption in physiology--We have designed an interesting educational tool to help sophomores learn intestinal absorption in physiology course. In the study group (2019), 51 sophomores from biomedical engineering were encouraged to learn the intestinal absorption knowledge through reading materials…

This article discusses the chalk talk's potential as an active learning method. Although chalk talks are a form of interactive lecture, they have received little attention in the medical education literature compared with other active learning methods such as team-based learning and simulation. One of the authors (C. K. L. Phoon) has used chalk…

Recent research suggests that the fit between a digital textbook and the learning tasks students perform with the textbook has a significant role in determining the outcomes of usage. An empirical assessment was performed on the impacts of six antecedents on perceived fit and impacts of perceived fit on utilization, satisfaction, and perceived…

Proper sampling techniques are of the utmost importance in obtaining accurate and precise results in chemical analysis. A Python language computer simulation providing fast feedback on sampling concepts and statistics was delivered to students through Google Colab. Students used the simulation to aid in their exploration of sampling and sampling…

In order to embed blended learning environments in a strategic and sustainable manner, a multi-actor, multidimensional approach is necessary. This paper reports the results of a 3-round Delphi study involving 28 experts which focuses on the refinement and validation of a layered maturity model that assesses key aspects of blended practices in…
