BACKGROUND Mobile apps are widely used in health professions, which increases the need for simple methods to determine the quality of apps. In particular, teachers need the ability to curate high-quality mobile apps for student learning. OBJECTIVE This study aims to systematically search for and evaluate the quality of clinical skills mobile apps as learning tools. The quality of apps meeting the specified criteria was evaluated using two measures—the widely used Mobile App Rating Scale (MARS), which measures general app quality, and the Mobile App Rubric for Learning (MARuL), a recently developed instrument that measures the value of apps for student learning—to assess whether MARuL is more effective than MARS in identifying high-quality apps for learning. METHODS Two mobile app stores were systematically searched using clinical skills terms commonly found in medical education and apps meeting the criteria identified using an approach based on PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. A total of 9 apps were identified during the screening process. The apps were rated independently by 2 reviewers using MARS and MARuL. RESULTS The intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) for the 2 raters using MARS and MARuL were the same (MARS ICC [two-way]=0.68; <i>P</i>&lt;.001 and MARuL ICC [two-way]=0.68; <i>P</i>&lt;.001). Of the 9 apps, Geeky Medics-OSCE revision (MARS Android=3.74; MARS iOS=3.68; MARuL Android=75; and MARuL iOS=73) and OSCE PASS: Medical Revision (MARS Android=3.79; MARS iOS=3.71; MARuL Android=69; and MARuL iOS=73) scored highly on both measures of app quality and for both Android and iOS. Both measures also showed agreement for the lowest rated app, Patient Education Institute (MARS Android=2.21; MARS iOS=2.11; MARuL Android=18; and MARuL iOS=21.5), which had the lowest scores in all categories except information (MARS) and professional (MARuL) in both operating systems. MARS and MARuL were both able to differentiate between the highest and lowest quality apps; however, MARuL was better able to differentiate apps based on teaching and learning quality. CONCLUSIONS This systematic search and rating of clinical skills apps for learning found that the quality of apps was highly variable. However, 2 apps—Geeky Medics-OSCE revision and OSCE PASS: Medical Revision—rated highly for both versions and with both quality measures. MARS and MARuL showed similar abilities to differentiate the quality of the 9 apps. However, MARuL’s incorporation of teaching and learning elements as part of a multidimensional measure of quality may make it more appropriate for use with apps focused on teaching and learning, whereas MARS’s more general rating of quality may be more appropriate for health apps targeting a general health audience. Ratings of the 9 apps by both measures also highlighted the variable quality of clinical skills mobile apps for learning. CLINICALTRIAL

Cognitive Psychotherapy

Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy is growingThere has been a steady increase in the flow of manuscripts to this journal, and I'm glad to say that the quality of submissions has commensurately improved. However, these trends have obviously created a problem, which is that there was simply not enough space for the range of excellent articles we have been receiving. The Association has therefore decided to increase the size of the journal by 25%. This should allow us to sustain a relatively short publication lag, and to maintain the mix of high quality clinical, theoretical and research material that has been the hallmark of the journal. Thanks to Cambridge University Press, particularly Janet Miles, for continued support and in making the transition to the larger size so straightforward. Of course, one of the reasons that we receive so many manuscripts is the fact that we are now one of the largest circulation journals in the field.As ever, there are other changes in the journal. Nick Tarrier leaves us after a very long and distinguished period as assistant editor. Thanks to you Nick (but don't assume that this means that you won't get more manuscripts!) Within the editorial office during 2000 we have had additional assistance from Patrick McKnight, who has now moved on, and we would like to thank him for the excellent work he put in. Caroline Bradley has retired from the post of assistant editor; we are grateful to her for her work in this capacity. By way of consolation for our editorial losses, Hermine Graham and Elizabeth Kuipers have joined the editorial team as assistant editors. I'm looking forward to working with them over the coming years.

Daunting Task

I am very honored to be the new Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society, JINS, beginning in January 2005. It is a daunting task to follow in Dr. Grant's footsteps. He has done a stellar job of developing this journal from its conception to its current status, and the statistics that he presents tell only part of the story. He appropriately recognizes all of the help he has received, but JINS' success is largely due to his vision, organization, innovation, and leadership. In order to concretely recognize that vision and its continuing influence on JINS, Dr. Grant's name will be listed on the cover of JINS as its Founding Editor. He had the vision to develop a journal that “fits” the INS from the standpoint of its breadth, multidisciplinary contributions, and scientific rigor. He selected and has led an impressive group of senior editors with expertise in a variety of areas, and these editors have provided a level of editorial expertise that would not be possible with a single Editor-in-Chief. Dr. Grant has also brought electronic submission and review to JINS. Web-based submission began August 1. Even though electronic submission and review should facilitate logistics, the quality of JINS will still be most dependent on high quality peer review provided by the Editorial Board and a large group of dedicated reviewers.

Gain Access

В образовательном сообществе резко возросло использование информационных и коммуникационных технологий (ИКТ) в преподавании и изучении иностранных языков. Учителя получают доступ к инновациям и внедряют их, не всегда осознавая их значение для самих себя и своих учеников. В статье представлены некоторые особенности ИКТ, которые можно использовать учебной среде, а также использование видео в качестве инструмента ИКТ на уроках иностранного языка. В данной статье также обсуждается роль учителя во внедрении технологий, именно учитель, а не технология, определяет качество обучения и преподавания. Роль учителя будет поставлена под угрозу, если мы интегрируем информационно-коммуникационные технологии в образование; однако в «техно-гуманистической» системе, учитель, ученики и технологии образуют прочный и значимый союз. The use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in teaching and learning foreign languages has increased dramatically in the educational community. Teachers gain access to innovations and implement them, not always realizing their importance for themselves and their students. The article presents some of the ICT features that can be used in a learning environment, as well as the use of video as an ICT tool in foreign language lessons. This article also discusses the role of the teacher in the implementation of technology, it is the teacher, not technology, that determines the quality of teaching and learning. The role of the teacher will be compromised if we integrate information and communication technologies into education; however, in a “techno-humanistic” system, teacher, students and technology form a strong and meaningful union.

Engineering education in Malaysia has moving fast in creating high quality environment for all higher educational institution graduates through several innovative and creative teaching and learning tools and methods. Stress on the quality of delivery method in higher education was also increased in order to assure that the graduates are really fulfilling the needs of the stakeholders. In this work, we have developed a Course Monitoring and Management System (CMMS) to ease the lecturers in managing and monitoring the class. User survey was conducted to identify the actual requirements and data from the survey was used to construct the CMMS. By reducing the lecturers loads in the managing and monitoring activities, lecturers can be more focus in delivering innovative and effective teaching techniques that really notable for the production of high quality graduates.

In his overview of teaching and learning foreign languages in Germany, Frank Königs refers to the very different research currents and traditions that have come to inform the state-of-the art as we have it today. Here at language teaching, the editorial team endeavours to bring you examples of excellent research carried out in all the traditions and paradigms which inform our profession today. Here you will find accounts of small classroom-based studies side by side with reports on national research projects; you will find a full range of quantitative and qualitative methodologies represented. All of the articles abstracted appeared in peer-reviewed journals, and are carefully considered by the editor and the abstracting team. We consider all of them to be good examples of whichever research trends they represent, and hope that they will be of use in the professional work of our readers.
