This paper describes the production of multimedia teaching material aimed at working analysts in the water industry who are studying the Open University‟s Foundation Degree in Analytical Sciences. In collaboration with staff at Scottish Water, Edinburgh laboratories, audio and video materials were produced which demonstrate a number of basic laboratory techniques routinely carried out in chemistry and microbiology laboratories. Teaching laboratory techniques (and associated safety procedures) is by its very nature a visual process, and requires the cultivation of a skill base and good practice that can only be gained by repetition. However an initial „show and tell‟ stage is required. This is extended to coverage of aspects of laboratory management, and how analysts work in teams to produce analytical data for the customer.

This paper explores the opportunities and recent applications of web-based technology, which have benefited water industry operations. Web-based technology can allow broad controlled access to all business data across the internal network (Intranet) of a water authority, by compact disc to mobile or remote stations and the broader internet. These web-based systems have significant advantages over traditional single-purpose databases and paper-based systems.

Pedagogical research on Web-based learning and instruction has not kept pace with the proliferation of Web-based courses offered by colleges and universities. Consequently, we encourage the application of the “Seven Principles of Good Practice in Undergraduate Education” (American Association of Higher Education, 1987) to guide the design and implementation of Web-based courses. We offer concrete suggestions on how instructors can apply each principle to maximize the potential of Web-based technologies and promote positive learning outcomes in the virtual classroom.

It is an important reflection of modern education and an overwhelming way to strengthen the quality of teaching. In the current environment, the traditional multimedia classroom management model can no longer adapt to the current rapidly developing network environment. How to manage more and more campus multimedia classrooms is an urgent problem to be solved. The informatization construction and application of multimedia classrooms is the key to the realization of educational informatization. The traditional multimedia classroom management model has not been able to adapt to the rapidly developing network environment, which is mainly manifested in the following aspects: electronic education management personnel cannot discover and process teaching in a timely manner. Equipment failure has not formed a set of standard troubleshooting procedures and cannot accurately record the status, use time, and maintenance records of various teaching pieces of equipment. This will not only affect the teaching quality of colleges and universities but also slow down the process of education informatization. This paper develops a web-based multimedia teaching equipment management system based on artificial intelligence and jQuery, which realizes the centralized control and management of various multimedia teaching equipment. According to the actual needs of multimedia teaching, this paper follows the design and development of software engineering, using artificial intelligence, jQuery, Ajax, and Spring MVC technology to design and develop a web-based multimedia teaching equipment management system. On the basis of realizing the centralized control and management of multiple multimedia teaching equipment, it can also track and record the use status and maintenance content of the multimedia teaching equipment to form an information knowledge base of the multimedia equipment, which is convenient for later maintenance and management. Through the use of this system, management can be systematized, standardized, and automated, reducing the tedious workload of management and maintenance personnel. It can speed up the information management process of multimedia teaching equipment and improve the work efficiency of related managers. A course can be studied online, and an online teaching system has been developed. According to our survey on Mandarin online course training in Northwest China (N = 343), we found that 81.6% of samples are satisfied with the Mandarin online training courses; 21.6% think that they have learned new teaching methods/teaching concepts from the teacher through the Mandarin training; 36.2% think that they have learned the theoretical knowledge of Mandarin through the Mandarin training. Gender, age, ethnicity, and learning experience are related to the difficulty of learning Mandarin online courses. Therefore, we can satisfy learners of different ages, learning foundations, and cultural backgrounds by designing different online course patterns, so as to enhance the high-quality promotion of Mandarin.

Abstract. The deception of research participants remains a controversial issue in the behavioral sciences. Current ethics codes consistently limit the use of deception to cases in which non-deceptive alternatives are unfeasible and, crucially, require that participants subjected to deception be debriefed correspondingly along with an option to withdraw their data after learning about the deception. These conditions pose a particular challenge in the context of web-based research because participants can typically discontinue a study unilaterally (i.e., dropout by simply closing the browser window) in which case full debriefing and an option to withdraw one’s data are no longer available. As a consequence, the study would no longer be compatible with ethical standards. Based on recent meta-analytical data, we provide an existence proof of this problem, showing that deception is used in web-based research with little to no indication of safeguards ensuring full debriefing and subsequent data withdrawal options. We close by revisiting recommendations for the (non-)use of deception in web-based research and offer solutions to implement such safeguards in case deception is truly unavoidable.
