The rapidly changing world requires students to be prepared to address change and diversity with empathy, tolerance, and competence. To help prepare them, the authors collaboratively developed and implemented a set of blended, cross-campus multicultural competence modules in graduate and undergraduate courses. This chapter discusses the use of blended learning techniques, digital tools, and learning management technologies, as well as instructional design and collaborative approaches to teaching, learning, and course development. The modules were created to be disseminated for use in multiple courses, disciplines, and collegiate levels across college campuses in an effort to better prepare students for the rapidly changing social landscape of interpersonal relationships and technological developments. Recommendations for similar development and implementations are provided.

Decades of technological developments have populated the field of brain-machine interfaces and neuroprosthetics with several replacement strategies, neural modulation treatments, and rehabilitation techniques to improve the quality of life for patients affected by sensory and motor disabilities. This field is now quickly expanding thanks to advances in neural interfaces, machine learning techniques, and robotics. Despite many clinical successes, and multiple innovations in animal models, brain-machine interfaces remain mainly confined to sophisticated laboratory environments indicating a necessary step forward in the used technology. Interestingly, Elon Musk and Neuralink have recently presented a new brain-machine interface platform with thousands of channels, fast implantation, and advanced signal processing. Here, how their work takes part in the context of the restoration of sensory-motor functions through neuroprostheses is commented.

This research was descriptive qualitative research aimed to describe the sewing training implementation for heterogeneous learning citizens methods and techniques of learning. Participants in this study were heads of administrative sub-sections, instructors and sewing training citizens learning. This research was conducted at UPTD Bengkulu Work Training on 10 to 31 March 2020. Data collection was carried out through interviews, observations and documentation. The data were analyzed and validated using triangulation data validity technique. From research results, the sewing training instructors apply lecture learning methods, question and answer learning methods, discussion learning methods, demonstration learning methods, group teaching learning methods and individual teaching learning methods. The instructional methods applied by instructors to heterogeneous learning citizens was different, namely by applying group teaching methods with participatory coaching learning techniques. Keywords: sewing training, learning citizens, heterogeneous.

Bahasa is one of the important materials taught in Indonesian schools for the important roles in our daily lives. The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of learning in a remote island in Flores. The method used is qualitative descriptive with a naturalistic approach and case study. This research was conducted in several places in a remote area on the island of Flores, East Nusa Tenggara. The result shows that Bahasa language learning in the remote area of Flores island is not maximal enough. Primary school teachers are still applying the conventional learning techniques and they do not want to be role models for the teaching-learning process.

Mathematical applications have a presence in an engineering environment; in the particular case of mathematical models. A pedagogic theoretical framework that supports various teaching-learning techniques is constructionism; one of these techniques is called Project Based Learning which provides several advantages. This chapter aims to show the experiences during the course of Mathematical Modeling in a context of project-based learning. It will show that students develop general skills of engineering which includes developing the faculties of memory, reasoning and problem solving, teamwork and initiative and of readiness to take risks. Also presents some of the advantages and issues for consideration in relation to its effectiveness as a teaching and learning method.

Despite the absence of a CSWE mandate, most BSW programs have chosen to offer and require an introduction to social work course. A decade ago, Popple (1991) described a lack of uniformity in these introductory courses that continues today. The introductory course serves a variety of functions, has a variety of goals, and must attend to a variety of audiences early in students' college programs. The purpose of this article is to define the teaching/learning agenda for the introductory course; suggest core content and identify the teaching/learning techniques that can be used to achieve desired results; and describe the outcomes of a course using this approach.

While there are many studies of self-monitoring and self-disclosure independently, few studies have looked at their relationship. Such inquiry may help refine the definitions of these two complex constructs as well as clarify how interpersonal relationships are formed. For 100 undergraduate students at a small liberal arts college a small but significant negative correlation ( r = −.20) was found between scores on the Self-monitoring Scale and Self-disclosure Index. The men had significantly higher self-monitoring scores than the women, but not on self-disclosure.

Multimedia has now penetrated all over the world even difficult to be separated from everyday life. Multimedia in education provides learning techniques so that maximum results. Prospective students are expected to make it easier for them to determine how students can receive information quickly and effectively. promotion using computer technology has improved better so that it follows technological developments. But currently the agency does not have promotional video media regarding the profile of education to the wider community. preproduction, production and postproduction stages. In order to produce quality video profile information communication designs using Adobe Photoshop CS6, Adobe Premier CS6 and Adobe Corel Video Studio X5.
