The ECHO360 Active Learning Platform (ALP) is an online active learning platform allowing the creation of interactive multimedia content for anytime student learning, with the potential for comprehensive analytics. This ALP has previously been shown to enhance student participation and engagement during in-class activities however it can be challenging to use at first. To enhance the uptake of ECHO360 ALP in and out of the classroom a simplified guide with clear instructions on the most useful aspects of the platform was developed and shared with staff, successfully creating a community of instructors. A student guide was also prepared which showcased the methods for gaining the most from its use in and out of lectures. These resources are available in the appendix.

The background of this research is the lack of students' mathematics learning outcomes. Thelow yield caused by the learning of mathematics teaching is so very boring, monotonous,stressful and meaningless. Departing from the problems that occur in the field, especially ingrade IV SDN 002 Bagan Besar then there needs to be a strategy that can provide learningmathematics is expected to show active learning, creative, effective and fun. This research istindaan class (PTK), instrument collecting data observation and test learning outcomes. Theresults obtained: Increased activity of the students from the first cycle to the second cycle arevery significant. The increase in active learning, creative, and fun efekif the students alsofollowed by an increase in student learning outcomes. This is evidenced by the increase in thelearning outcomes of the first cycle to the second cycle. Namely, from the average value of 88,27 (cycle I) increased to an average value of 97, 59 (cycle II).

AbstractInformation and communication technology (ICT) programs like Microsoft PowerPoint and Apple Keynote have become the norm for large university lecture classes, but their record in terms of student engagement and active learning is mixed at best. Here, the author presents the merits of a “populist” lecture style that takes full advantage of the variety of features available from the latest generation of ICT programs. Based on visual variety, audio and visual sound bites, and the incorporation of humor and pop-cultural references, this populist approach not only facilitates greater student attention and engagement with the class materials, but also offers unmatched opportunities for extending student learning beyond the confines of the large lecture hall.

Assessment in health sciences education has become an extremely critical issue in recent years, given the rapidlychanging disease patterns and behavioral changes in communities among diverse cultural and economic contexts ofpatients. Globally, there is increasing demand for highly qualified contemporary healthcare professionals.Subsequently, learner assessment regimes need to have the capacity to accurately evaluate the competences (i.e.attitudes, skills and knowhow) acquired during the training of healthcare professionals. This paper provides ananalysis of assessment of and for learning in health sciences education with a focus on clinical laboratory training atMLT in Uganda. This study utilized both quantitative and qualitative research designs. The program evaluationdesign principles were also utilized to measure the levels of compliance towards attainment of curriculum outcomes.The instruments used during data collection included checklists, questionnaires, indepth interviews, and focus groupdiscussions (FDGs). The findings of this study showed that learners were achieving the intended curriculumobjectives progressively. The assessment tools used were prepared through a rigorous process to ensure that the basicprinciples of assessment are identified and integrated during curriculum design and implementation. Results of thestudy also showed that adequate institutional administrative support available enhanced the teaching and learningprocesses and ensured that appropriate curriculum assessment schedules and strategies were strictly followed asstated in the elements of the curriculum structures.This contributed meaningfully in preparing competentcontemporary healthcare professionals (clinical laboratory technicians). It was recommended that all healthcareprofessional training institutions should take the use of aunthetic assessment of and for learning very seriously.

This study aims to determine 1) the student's activity during the implementation of PBL models and 2) student learning outcomes after the implementation of PBL models through the creation of grass park on the material circle in class VIII SMP Negeri 1 Pagaralam. This research is an experimental research category one shot case study involving 32 students of class VIII SMP Negeri 1 Pagaralam. The results showed that the activity of students during the loading applied to the model PBL through grass park is categorized as very active seen from the activity of visual, verbal, listening, metrics, and writing. While student learning outcomes after the implementation of the PBL model through the creation of grass park are categorized very well as indicated by the average value of students. Thus, the PBL model is very suitable for use in mathematics, especially in the area of a circle of matter.
