University students go to school several times a week, as voluntary supporters, and help teachers not only conduct lessons, but also create self-made teaching materials with newly developed technologies such as multimedia-enabled dot codes and EPUB 3 eBooks with Read-Aloud. The university students-schoolteachers partnership enables the younger students to learn the required subjects with newly educational technologies. For university students, especially those in the pre-service teacher program, such a collaboration is really effective to not only know the class lessons, but also to encourage them to become teachers. The collaborative research works of the university professor with the ICT business companies are crucial to produce newly creative and gifted software and tools for students with various difficulties. This chapter briefly presents newly developed software and tools used for class lessons, and then it describes fruitful collaboration with schoolteachers in creating self-made teaching materials and conducting activities.

The purpose of this research is to develop digital book and to examine the effect of this book on student’s achievement. This study uses a modified Borg & Gall (1983) design consists of needs analysis, planning and development of teaching materials, expert validation, revision, field trials to produce the final product, and dissemination of research. Research conducted on the university students in East Java who have taken accounting computer courses. Validation is done by a lecturer as a material expert and a lecturer as a learning media expert. After going through a series of validation experiments, a flip book that is packaged in a compact disk will be disseminated to students and lecturers. Expert validation results show that this flip book based digital book has met the criteria of "very feasible" to be used as a learning medium and used in computer accounting course study.

This research is a descriptive study to determine the profile of teaching materials and the ability of pre-service teacher to convey the results of the placement at the University of Puangrimaggalatung (UNIPRIMA) Sengkang in environmental biology subjects. The study's population consisted of undergraduate pre-service teacher in the third semester of the 2016/2017 academic year and lecturer of environmental biology subjects. The sampling technique was carried out by targeted sampling so that 37 subjects were used. Techniques for collecting interviews and observations. The tool, which was used in the form of interview guidelines to find out the profile of the teaching materials used, reported the practice assessment of practice-related reports to determine the ability to communicate the results of laboratory report. The data were analyzed descriptively. Based on the results of the study of teaching materials used in the matter, it needs to be developed/produced again and still needs to be done through the development of research and context teaching materials. The ability of pre-service teacher to communicate the results of the work placement in lab reports is still considered sufficient and needs to be improved again, especially with regard to the accuracy of the analysis of data findings and the relevance of the theory in the analysis of experimental data.

Due to the frequent university reforms, the level of understanding higher education and conducting research programs are getting lower in recent ten years. Their knowledge level sometimes discourages and disappoints the university professor. Their active, challenging attitude to know and integrate the knowledge based on the experiences cannot be seen in most of the university students. They need to know anything about practical application. This paper is one of the proposals to provide the opportunity for university students to learn and experience more practicing through university goods manufacturing based on the CNC machine operated on computer programming.

This paper describes three different service-learning approaches the authors utilized in graduate art education students and incarcerated residents at a municipal jail facility. By situating our experiences within feminist theory, we analyze and unpack the strengths and weaknesses of each approach. Through an analysis of teacher and student journal entries we came to see that our level of responsiveness to residents needed to increase as compared to our considerations of the university students.  We came to see the significant knowledge that the residents hold about excellence in teaching and created an opportunity for the university students and ourselves to learn from the residents.  We also identified three areas, breaking stereotypes, awareness of privilege, and showing empathy, that created change in the university students.  We believe that service-learning in pre-service teacher preparation programs allows university students to learn from and with residents, thus helping to create more empathetic future teachers.

Mind maps increase attractiveness of classes and motivation of students to create their own associations and stimulate them to expand the knowledge acquired during the course. The aim of the work was to review information technology (IT) tools for building digital mind maps in terms of their use for teaching materials at the university level and to examine students’ opinions on their use as a tool to support the acquisition of knowledge. The results of questionnaire surveys among university students from two different non-technical majors confirmed research hypotheses about the increase in student acceptance for introducing new educational techniques.

The perception of the university lecturer/teacher role from the students' perspective was analyzed. A sample of 1,599 social sciences university students responded to an open question about the most relevant characteristics that their ideal teacher/lecturer should have. The chi-square test performed showed that students' preferred features of the teacher/lecturer role were associated with their mutual interaction (e.g., having respectful manners, being understanding and open) as well as having the ability to clearly transmit information. Understanding students' expectations of their professors is essential in order to improve the professor-student relationship, and can also assist professors in developing their roles.
