Online course enrollment has increased dramatically over the past few years. The authors cite the reasons for this rapid growth and the opportunities open for enhancing teaching/learning techniques such as video conferencing and hybrid class combinations. The authors outlined an example of an accelerated learning, eight-class session course detailing effective instructional techniques.

Improving health awareness is essential to health and healthcare sustainability. How to arouse attention to the health of people and encourage them to attend to healthcare progress so that we can reduce the costs of promoting healthcare by achieving more with less effort remains to be explored. In this paper, we provide a simplified health management app, called iTongue, with a basis in traditional Chinese medicine. People use iTongue to take pictures of their tongues to have a general idea of their health. We realize automated tongue image diagnosis using machine learning techniques to establish the relationship between the tongue image features and the cold or hot ZHENG (traditional Chinese medicine syndrome) in traditional Chinese medicine by learning through examples and assisting people to engage in health management. The results show that health management interaction based on traditional Chinese medicine has a positive influence on improving people’s attention to their health, encouraging them to participate in health management activities and develop the habit of caring about their health over the long term. In the future, we could consider using this kind of traditional Chinese medicine idea as a means of publicity to engage people in healthcare and to assist healthcare sustainability development.

The aim of this chapter is to get students comfortable with the basics of Ableton live. The lessons described in this chapter were designed for a combined undergraduate and graduate Digital Music Production course. Students engage with Ableton Live and a MIDI keyboard to create original beats and sample audio using online databases. Students identify, sample, edit, and manipulate a kick drum, snare drum, hi-hat, and additional percussive sounds using waveform mediums. These lessons use a project-based and teacher-facilitated approach, which allows for scaffolding, modification, and adaptation as needed. Each sequential step outlined can be time-modified based on student needs. This also allows for flexibility of student progress, questions, or challenges that may arise, and individual adaptations for learning.

Jigsaw Technique

The main purpose of this research is checking the effectiveness of some online collaborative learning techniques through the development and implementation of a Google-based environment which will let us develop the collaborative technique known as Jigsaw. The research has been carried out on maths students of a school in the Principality of Asturias.28 students from different school years and classes took part in the research and several teachers at the school also participated in it. We have used a quasi-experimental design withpre-test and post-test measures as well as an equivalent control group. We have also carried out a detailed study of the requirements needed to extract information about the problems of the implementation of online collaborative activities in the classroom and about the creation of such activities focused on the use of classroom blogs and interactive animations. The results of the analysis show that a methodology such as this exerts a positive influence not only on the students’ motivation but also on their academic achievements. The aims of the work, the main results obtained, and the conclusions drawn.

Abstract. Pharmacological neuroenhancement, defined as the misuse of prescription drugs, illicit drugs, or alcohol for the purpose of enhancing cognition, mood, or prosocial behavior, is not widespread in Europe – nevertheless, it does occur. Thus far, no drug has been proven as safe and effective for cognitive enhancement in otherwise healthy individuals. European studies have investigated the misuse of prescription and illicit stimulants to increase cognitive performance as well as the use of tranquilizers, alcohol, and cannabis to cope with stress related to work or education. Young people in educational settings report pharmacological neuroenhancement more frequently than those in other settings. Although the regular use of drugs for neuroenhancement is not common in Europe, the irregular and low-dose usage of neuroenhancers might cause adverse reactions. Previous studies have revealed that obtaining adequate amounts of sleep and using successful learning techniques effectively improve mental performance, whereas pharmacological neuroenhancement is associated with ambiguous effects. Therefore, non-substance-related alternatives should be promoted to cope with stressful situations. This paper reviews the recent research on pharmacological neuroenhancement in Europe, develops a clear definition of the substances used, and formulates recommendations for practitioners regarding how to react to requests for neuroenhancement drug prescriptions. We conclude that monitoring the future development of pharmacological neuroenhancement in Europe is important to provide effective preventive measures when required. Furthermore, substance use to cope with stress related to work or education should be studied in depth because it is likely more prevalent and dangerous than direct neuroenhancement.
