This chapter provides a three-step framework for improving student learning in videoconferencing. Using the Understanding by Design Model, educators can design videoconferencing instruction that focus on specific student learning. As they pre-assess their curriculum and instruction goals and shape the videoconference plan, as they assess students’ learning pre, during and after the videoconference, and scaffold the learning to meet these goals and assessment needs, they will automatically build in structured, successful learning experience. While discussing the transfer of the Understanding by Design Model to videoconferencing settings, the author provides specific examples of each step of this process that will help other educators use the system in their own instructional practices.

Preparation of Moodle quizzes which are data-based and contemporary tends to be tedious and time-consuming. By using innovative tools, this process can be simplified and automated, providing a substantial benefit to the teacher wishing to employ such quizzes, and ultimately improving student learning experience. The purpose of this article is to show how to create data-driven, up-to-date quizzes for Moodle in an easy fashion. The methodology is based on several popular, open-source, free tools, and its implementation details are demonstrated with an example. This makes the methodology readily-available to the practitioners.

Improving Student Learning

Advancements in computer and mobile technologies have driven transformations of classroom activities in engineering education. This evolution provides instructors more opportunities to introduce computational tools that can be effectively used and promoted in engineering education to advance students’ learning process when the tools are appropriately utilized in the classroom activities. This paper presents a methodology to improve student learning of energy systems through a class assignment implementing a self-developed computational tool using Microsoft Excel and utilizing the tool to enhance their learning experience. The proposed method, a student-centered learning approach, was applied in a technical elective course called “Power Generation Systems” within a mechanical engineering curriculum. In the course, students were guided to develop a computational tool by themselves based on their learning of the fundamental principles and governing equations of a thermodynamics cycle. The self-developed computational tool allows the students to focus on more design-oriented problems, instead of the calculation process. Using the self-developed tool, students can have an enhanced understanding of the energy system performance in varying design and operational conditions and can perform the parametric analysis and visualization of essential parameters. Feedback from the students and class instructors proves that the self-development and use of the tool can significantly improve the students’ learning experience in the implemented course, make the course more dynamic, and motivate the students to learn the material more iteratively. In addition, students feel confident using computational tools to perform analysis, and are willing to develop more tools for other energy-related engineering applications.

Improving student learning experience is a very important thing. purpose research to develop a group project method model. This study uses the experimental method by testing the experimental class and comparing conventional based learning and learning using the group project method. The results of this study indicate that using this group project method can improve student learning outcomes and learning experiences.

Feedback Delivery

Formative assessment generates feedback on students’ performance, therebyaccelerating and improving student learning. Anecdotal evidence gathered by anumber of evaluations has hypothesised that audio feedback may be capable ofenhancing student learning more than other approaches. In this paper we report onthe preliminary findings of a quasi-experimental study employing qualitativetechniques for triangulation, conducted to evaluate the efficacy of formative audiofeedback on student learning. We focus on the delivery of ‘voice emails’ toundergraduate students (n = 24) and evaluate the efficacy of such feedback informative assessment and ergo students’ learning, as well as achieving a betterunderstanding of students’ feedback behaviour post-delivery. The results indicatethat audio feedback better conforms to existing models of ‘quality’ formativefeedback, can enhance the student learning experience and can be more efficientin feedback delivery. Despite this, and high levels of feedback re-use by studentparticipants, the audio treatment group underperformed in learning tasks whencompared with the control group. Differences between the groups were notstatistically significant and analyses of individual and mean learning gains acrossthe treatment group provide little indication of improvements in learning.

SD Negeri 011 Beringin Makmur, especially in the fourth grade, KKM to subjects who haveditatapkan PPKn is by KKM is 65. Particularly in the fourth grade SD Negeri 011 BeringinMakmur PPKn low student learning outcomes. It can be seen from the students after the testin midterm average value of only 61.5. Based on the preliminary study authors, the lowstudent learning outcomes PPKn caused by several things, the strategies used in teaching theteacher does not comply with the demands of learning and students during lessons PPKnfrequency only ask very little because the material is only presented in the form of lectures.The purpose of this study is to improve learning outcomes in subjects PPKn through theimplementation of inquiry learning model SD Negeri 011 Beringin Makmur fourth gradestudents. This research is a classroom action through the stages of planning, implementingaction, observation and reflection. Design research is the model cycle of improvementplanning, implementing action, observation and reflection. The subjects were students ingrade IV SD Negeri 011 Beringin Makmur with the number of 30 people, including 15 womenand 15 men. While the object of the research is PPKn student learning outcomes, the dataused in this study focuses on learning outcomes data PPKn only. From the results of theaction, can be seen learning outcome Civics students from before action is taken (preliminarydata) cycle I and after the action on the second cycle by improving student learning outcomesthat have been achieved, known completeness class on preliminary data only 15 or (50 %) ofall students and after repair in the first cycle has increased to 26 people or 87% of the totalclass IV student SD Negeri 011 Beringin Makmur.
