Current tendencies of product, project and services development focus on a higher consideration of the User Experience (UX). Therefore, traditional training and teaching methodologies need to adapt to prepare the students to develop strategies for problem solving for their professional education. Such needs have risen and interest in tendencies such as education and Industry 4.0 has grown. This paper presents and analyzes the process and results of a teaching implementation methodology based on Challenge-Based Learning (CBL). The paper describes the process followed, explaining the methodology precedents that led to the final implementation case. It also mentions previous experiments on product analysis and home automation developments that are linked to implementation of the technology. This case’s implementation, analysis and experimentation integrated the use of Emotional Domotics (ED) Tools for the UX analysis, to grant feedback and compare the students’ results with the bio-metrical and emotional computational analysis. The methodology, described through this document, allowed the students to better understand and experience some of the implications of an interconnected system with instant information feedback. This allowed them to better grasp part of the impact that the tendency towards the Internet of Things (IoT) is currently having, and the impact of the improvement proposals from the students.

The Impact

AbstractThis study examines trainees’ evaluations of a postgraduate CBT training course to determine which aspects are perceived as having the greatest effect on competence. A course evaluation was completed by three cohorts (n = 73) of a yearlong master's-level CBT training course, and statistical comparisons were conducted to examine the perceived impact of discrete aspects of training. There were significant differences between endorsements of the impact of various aspects of the learning experience. Overall, supervision was perceived to have a greater influence on trainees’ competence than clinical instruction. Interactions with trainers were given the highest rating, followed by learning from personal reflection and peer interactions. The varied aspects of extensive CBT training were perceived by students to be differentially effective in enhancing CBT skills. Supervision was perceived to have the strongest impact on competence, and trainees’ own reflections on their practice in preparation for supervision perceived as an important contributor to supervision's efficacy. The relatively low rating of peer-related learning suggests acceptability for distance training (e.g. internet-based), which excludes peer interaction found in traditional training. Due to limitations inherent in study design, only tentative conclusions can be offered. Further research involving more rigorous hypothesis testing is recommended.

The Impact

Aims(1) Understand the impact of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), (2) Manage complications arising during CPB, Clarify roles of team members, (3) Practice team communication for coordinated patient care.BackgroundThe cardiac anaesthesia setting is a highly dynamic environment requiring continuous processing of feedback from multiple sources. CAST is a valuable enhancement to prepare and orientate residents to the high risk environment. We report our continuing efforts to develop CAST for our first year anaesthesia residents using a high-fidelity simulator, adapted to simulate the CPB state.MethodologyThe course is led by a multidisciplinary faculty, including surgeons and perfusionists. The simulation scenarios focused on management of complications during CPB, re-warming and weaning from bypass (e.g. arrhythmias, electrolyte abnormalities and protamine reactions). This is followed by facilitated debriefing. Pre-reading, pre-/post-tests and short didactics are also used to augment the learning experience.OutcomesTo date, 26 residents have undergone CAST, including 2 cardiac surgical residents, who found CAST useful in fostering inter-professional understanding and learning. 92% of the residents scored CAST ‘Excellent or Good’ for clarity of the course objectives, 84% for reinforcing knowledge, and 66.6% for‖improvement of communication. The challenges faced by faculty included getting buy-in from stake-holders from different disciplines, securing protected time for residents and faculty, and developing a comprehensive lesson plan to address different training needs of the multidisciplinary team. Recommendations and take home messages CAST scenarios with varying complexity targeted at training our advanced residents are currently in development. There is also potential to develop a separate course with an emphasis on non-technical skills (e.g. team‖communication) and inter-professional education.

The Impact

Today’s students are presented with content-centric assignments that meet standards but lack a real-world context and opportunities for active participation. Because these assignments often fail to engage students, they can lead to uninspired work and a gradual process of disengagement. To address this need, Apple Inc. worked with teachers and leaders in the education community to develop a new approach to teaching and learning called Challenge Based Learning. Challenge-based learning (CBL) is a pedagogic approach for K12 education pioneered by education staff at Apple, Inc. that has its roots in problem-based learning and the work of John Dewey. The approach focuses on increasing student engagement. Unlike problem-based learning, CBL is a collaborative learning experience in which teachers and students work together to learn about compelling issues, propose solutions to real problems, and take action. The approach asks students to reflect on their learning and the impact of their actions, and publish their solutions to a worldwide audience. This article discusses the formation and characteristics of the Challenge Based Learning approach.

This study explored the technology learning model of the elderly in a senior learning center under the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many senior learning centers were closed during the pandemic, and many of them adopted the mode of online education. However, problems such as decreased motivation and a lack of peer interaction still exist. To solve these problems, this study used the easy-to-implement calligraphy AR approach and E-book approach to conduct a quasi-experiment on the elderly of a calligraphy course offered by a senior learning center. The results show a higher learning motivation among the elderly who use calligraphy AR. The learning effectiveness and technology acceptance of the elderly in the E-book learning group were higher than those in the calligraphy AR group. The elderly mentioned that the E-book learning approach is more user-friendly. In general, in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic affecting the suspension of classes in senior centers, education through the development of technology has stimulated the growth of education in advanced learning centers. Through this kind of scientific and technological learning method, it will bring a whole new experience to the elderly. It can improve the stress relief methods, mental health, and quality of life of the elderly during the COVID-19 emergency shutdown, and provide a novel calligraphy technique learning experience for the elderly. Therefore, we believe that the calligraphy AR learning approach and the calligraphy E-book learning approach are practical and may promote quality of life and mental health of the elderly during the emergency closures due to COVID-19, providing elderly attendees with a novel calligraphy technology learning experience.

Twitter has gained attention in recent years as a tool to use in higher education to enhance students’ learning, engagement, and reflective writing. This study explored public health students’ perceptions on the usefulness of Twitter as a learning tool, engagement with their peers, staff, and the broader public health community. Participants were Master of Public Health students from a public university based in Sydney, Australia. A mixed methods approach was used combining content analysis of tweets, an online survey and two focus groups. Students were asked to engage with Twitter by reflecting on each week’s teaching content and by liking and replying to their peers’ tweets. Participation and engagement in this task were high initially and declined toward the end of semester. Most student tweets aligned with topics taught during the semester. Survey and focus group data indicated most students had positive views on using Twitter and reported finding engagement with Twitter beneficial in obtaining current information on health promotion news and trends, increasing their professional networks and allowing them to connect with their peers and teaching staff. Results indicate Twitter is a promising interactive approach to enhance public health students’ engagement and overall learning experience, as well as being useful for professional networking. Larger scale empirical studies are needed to investigate the impact of the use of social media platforms such as Twitter to various learning outcomes longitudinally and beyond this course.

The digital transformation of supply chains should revolutionize entire management processes and improve various aspects of sustainability. In particular, the plans of Industry 4.0 aim towards a digitization of several procedures by exploiting emerging technologies such as the Internet of Things, RFID and blockchain. The purpose of this study is to highlight how order and disruption events processes can be improved with the adoption of emerging technologies and how this reflects on the improvement of sustainability aspects. The study is based on the comparison of two simulation scenarios between three actors in the cheese supply chain. In particular, a first traditional scenario “as is” is simulated without the use of new technologies and is compared to a second scenario “to be” that adopts IoT, RFID and blockchain. The results show an improvement in time performance for managing both perfect and non-compliant orders. The developed framework highlights the impact of new technologies on sustainability aspects, showing further managerial implications.
