In an undergraduate programming class taught at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, students (N=243) were given an opportunity to grade reports submitted by their peers. 10% of all students participated in peer grading and were satisfied with the grade given to them by peers (i.e., this group did not use instructors’ resources). 13% participated in peer grading, updated their reports based on peer feedback, and submitted to a course tutor for final grading. We have shown that even though students who participated in peer grading and updated their reports achieved higher scores, but it happened because they were stronger students to begin with. At the same time, scores of students who participated in peer grading and did not re-submit their reports to an instructor were not lower than average scores. Thus peer grading can be recommended in teaching programming classes as a strategy that reduces instructors’ workload while not jeopardizing students’ learning.

Mediated Learning

The purpose of this chapter is to compare the learning opportunities that are available in conventional and the current Web-mediated learning environment in Hong Kong in relation to some of the applications that are available in Web 2.0 and practice-based simulation. Some of these applications can provide faster access to subject-related resources, offer greater connectivity and wider interactions with stakeholders, such as students and professionals locally and overseas, and keep track of students’ learning experiences across their years of university study. Furthermore, Web-mediated assessment can provide faster feedback than conventional paper-based methods, which can streamline the process of reporting and the provision of peer feedback. The potential of and future trends in web-mediated assessment are also discussed.

The coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) broke into the lives of people around the world, (WHO, 2020) led to changes in the way of working and studying. For students it represents a challenge. The educational community has made efforts to sustain student learning; This represented the need to use information technologies and depend on their own resources to guarantee the continuity of learning, forcing them to take distance classes through digital means (UNESCO, 2020). This research will allow to know the conditions and how the students of the Administrative Economic area of the Technological University of León face the challenges. For this, a questionnaire was designed in order to collect information, it was validated to measure reliability and it was applied to a sample of 249 students. The data was analyzed and showed how many of them have a computer; if it is for exclusive use or shared; how many have internet and the quality of the service; how many have cell phones; how many hours they use their devices for classes; the platforms they use; if they have what it takes to work at home and if they prefer distance or face-to-face classes.

Educational technology supports student learning in many ways through a variety of tools. Padlet is a versatile platform that can transform an on-ground or virtual classroom into a fun collaborative environment where the instructor and students are collaborators. This chapter provides a review of literature on the use of educational technology and Padlet as facilitators of student engagement, collaboration, and peer feedback. The author explains the way the platform works and shares some lesson plans as examples of the versatility of this educational tool. The purpose of this chapter is to extend the knowledge to the practitioners in the field of English as a Second or Foreign Language.

Many innovative teaching and learning methods are used in higher level education including project-based learning (PBL). Since 2012 a PBL assignment project has been undertaken by master students of the Advanced Molecular Gastronomy module at Technological University Dublin (TU Dublin). The aim is to stimulate student learning and creativity by using Note by Note cooking in a PBL assignment while at the same time complying with the requirements of the annual International Note by Note contest which is held in Paris, France. Direct and indirect assessment methods were used to assign individual grades and to gather student feedback about the module. The direct methods were both formative and summative. The indirect method used was a student feedback questionnaire. Results to date (2012-2019) showed that 92% of learners successfully passed the module. However, further evaluation of individual assessment results revealed that most students achieved higher scores for finding and using resources, asking further questions and developing their own answers than for analysing, synthesising and evaluating information (P≤0.01). Overall students were happy with the module content and said that they learnt about Note by Note cooking, chemical compounds, researching, independent-thinking and perseverance. In future students should carry out a more in-depth analysis, synthesis and evaluation of information.

Ceramic fibers are being used to improve the mechanical properties of metal matrix and ceramic matrix composites. This paper reports a study of the structural and other microstructural characteristics of silicon nitride whiskers using both conventional TEM and high resolution electron microscopy.The whiskers were grown by T. E. Scott of Michigan Technological University, by passing nitrogen over molten silicon in the presence of a catalyst. The whiskers were ultrasonically dispersed in chloroform and picked up on holey carbon grids. The diameter of some whiskers (<70nm) was small enough to allow direct observation without thinning. Conventional TEM was performed on a Philips EM400T while high resolution imaging was done on a JEOL 200CX microscope with a point to point resolution of 0.23nm.
