In conjunction with the development of technology, teaching in educational institutions around the world has also changed from traditional teaching, where blackboards and chalk were used, to modern teaching with blended or completely online learning environments. Online teaching became a necessity over the past year as the COVID-19 pandemic occurred throughout the world. One of the biggest problems that arose was the impossibility of students to work with equipment on the spot during laboratory exercises. In turn, many universities have used labs with physical devices that can be launched remotely through the Internet from anywhere. One such device is presented in this paper. An automatic device for the remote measurement of geometric tolerances, circularity, was developed and applied in the teaching process at the University of Novi Sad. The exercises were performed by students who remotely started and controlled the device and measured the deviation of the actual from the defined diameter of the work piece in the desired cross section. At the end of the semester, students completed an evaluation questionnaire and expressed satisfaction with the implementation of this exercise.

Social Consideration

There is a culture of disengagement from social consideration in engineering disciplines. This means that first year engineering students, who arrive planning to change the world through engineering, lose this passion as they progress through the engineering curriculum. The community driven technology innovation and investment program described in this paper is an attempt to reverse this trend by fusing community engagement with the normal engineering design process. This approach differs from existing project or trip based approaches – outreach – because the focus is on local communities with which the university team forms a long-term partnership through weekly in-person meetings and community driven problem statements – engagement.

The temporary shutdown of educational institutes due to COVID -19 lockdown has led to the transformation of face to face classroom teaching to virtual online learning. The present study is aimed to evaluate the challenges faced by the first year medical students. After taking informed consent, a self administered questionnaire with 15 questions was given in google form. 148 students (62 boys, 86 girls) between the age group 17-23 years participated in the study. The answers were represented graphically. The results were analysed and compared with other studies. 84.3% students opined that they learnt the concepts better by hands on exposure than online teaching. Only 10.7% students replied that online tasks improve their self-discipline. 78.6% answered that the teacher was available when they needed help. 46% stated that the teacher’s feedback helped them in online learning. 40% accepted the need for online teaching to be combined with the traditional teaching, post COVID in their curriculum. The results were similar to the other studies when compared. Most of them experienced the technical glitches, connectivity issues, suspended video streaming etc. that interrupted their online learning. The present study concludes that the medical students prefer face to face traditional classroom teaching than online teaching amidst advanced technology.

As tecnologias digitais, cada vez mais presentes na sociedade, têm causado mudanças comportamentais nos alunos. Pesquisas na área apontam algumas vantagens do uso de metodologias ativas, que utilizam recursos tecnológicos na situação formal de ensino, para atender às demandas dos alunos contemporâneos. Nesse sentido, o objetivo dessa pesquisa é aplicar uma metodologia progressista, que integra ensino presencial e online, denominada ensino híbrido, e investigar qual a percepção dos alunos sobre essa metodologia. A presente pesquisa apresenta um estudo de caso de natureza qualitativa, com alunos de uma turma de primeiro ano do Ensino Médio do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Ceará (IFCE). Após a aplicação da metodologia proposta e dos recursos tecnológicos utilizados, são analisadas as respostas fornecidas pelos alunos sobre suas concepções a respeito dessa metodologia. Os resultados apontaram que, na opinião da maioria dos alunos, o uso da tecnologia digital não é necessário para melhorar a compreensão dos conteúdos de Física. Ademais, eles acreditam que compreendem melhor o conteúdo com aulas teóricas, preferindo assim, o modelo de ensino tradicional ao invés do modelo de ensino híbrido. Palavras-chave: Ensino de física. Ensino híbrido. Metodologias ativas.ABSTRACTDigital technologies, increasingly present in society, have caused behavioral changes in students. Research in the area points to some advantages of the use of active methodologies, which use technological resources in the formal teaching situation, to meet the demands of contemporary students. In this sense, the objective of this research is to apply a progressive methodology, which integrates face-to-face and online teaching, called hybrid teaching, and investigate students’ perceptions about this methodology. The present research presents a case study of a qualitative nature, with students from a first year high school class of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Ceará (IFCE). After applying the proposed methodology and the technological resources used, the answers given by the students about their conceptions about this methodology are analyzed. The results showed that, in the opinion of most students, the use of digital technology is not necessary to improve the understanding of physics contents. In addition, they believe that they better understand the content with theoretical classes, preferring instead the traditional teaching model instead of the hybrid teaching model.Keywords: Physics education.

The outbreak of COVID -19 was unforeseen and it forced all the Saudi universities to close the campuses and launch online teaching. This paper focused on challenges envisioned in online teaching using Blackboard system. Analytical and descriptive methods of quantitative research was used to analyse and describe the challenges and perceptions of the faculty with regard to online teaching on blackboard, anticipating that the results would form a basis to improvise online teaching in post corona era. The sample of the study constituted 25 faculty members of the Department of English, Samtah University College, Jazan University. A closed and open-ended questionnaire was used to assess the challenges of the university faculty with regard to online teaching and online training program on blackboard. In online teaching, the faculty require digital skills, tools, and instructional strategies than in a conventional face-to-face classroom teaching. They should collaborate with each other working hands-on to integrate online teaching with instructional strategies and find effective ways to support the success of online students. It is important to note that students should be relieved from anxiety and ensured that they would actively engage themselves in online learning. Summing up this research study, the researcher has observed from the analysis of the faculty questionnaire, that the faculty were ready to accept the change from the conventional mode of teaching to modern day online teaching in the post corona era, assuming that technological issues involved are properly taken care of.

Objective – To determine the construct validity of a search assessment instrument that is used to evaluate search strategies in Ovid MEDLINE. Design – Cross-sectional, cohort study. Setting – The Academic Medical Center of the University of Michigan. Subjects – All 22 first-year residents in the Department of Pediatrics in 2004 (cohort 1); 10 senior pediatric residents in 2005 (cohort 2); and 9 faculty members who taught evidence based medicine (EBM) and published on EBM topics. Methods – Two methods were employed to determine whether the University of Michigan MEDLINE Search Assessment Instrument (UMMSA) could show differences between searchers’ construction of a MEDLINE search strategy. The first method tested the search skills of all 22 incoming pediatrics residents (cohort 1) after they received MEDLINE training in 2004, and again upon graduation in 2007. Only 15 of these residents were tested upon graduation; seven were either no longer in the residency program, or had quickly left the institution after graduation. The search test asked study participants to read a clinical scenario, identify the search question in the scenario, and perform an Ovid MEDLINE search. Two librarians scored the blinded search strategies. The second method compared the scores of the 22 residents with the scores of ten senior residents (cohort 2) and nine faculty volunteers. Unlike the first cohort, the ten senior residents had not received any MEDLINE training. The faculty members’ search strategies were used as the gold standard comparison for scoring the search skills of the two cohorts. Main Results – The search strategy scores of the 22 first-year residents, who received training, improved from 2004 to 2007 (mean improvement: 51.7 to 78.7; t(14)=5.43, P

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has impacted global education, and to prevent the spread of disease, the world have adopted remote teaching. The aim of this study was to determine the university academics perspective towards various aspects of remote teaching during COVID-19 pandemic. According to the findings, the majority of academics had no remote teaching prior experiences and most of them appeared to be unsatisfied with the provided online training of online teaching, online teaching platforms, Internet access, students’ participation, online assessment, delivering the content of the subjects they taught, and teaching practical-based subjects. The current study provided essential insights for policymakers in higher education to look over the aspects that hinder the process of remote teaching in Iraq.

The scientific, social, and economic advantages that accrue from Open Science (OS) practices—ways of doing research that emphasize reproducibility, transparency, and accessibility at all stages of the research cycle—are now widely recognized in nations around the world and by international bodies such as the United Nations and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. However, program wide or coordinated instruction of undergraduate students in OS practices remains uncommon. At the University of British Columbia in Canada, we have started to develop a comprehensive undergraduate OS program that can be adapted to and woven into diverse subject curricula. We report on the context and planning of the pilot module of the program, “Open Science 101”, its implementation in first-year Biology in Fall 2019, and qualitative results of an attitudinal survey of students following their course.

In the spring of 2020, in Finland as in most countries of the world, the Covid-19 epidemic has caused a shift in university education from all face-to-face to all digital. In the language department, digital tools have been present for a long time and the university is already promoting the development of mediated learning outside Covid. The difference this time was the forced and sudden aspect of mediatised learning. This generated questions about the pedagogical uses of technology, the reconceptualisation of the teaching of French as a foreign language, the shaking of the traditional posture of the teacher, his or her professional and identity repositioning, as well as the reception by learners of these digital practices. This article presents the main lines of a survey carried out in Finland, after two months of confinement and online teaching (March-April 2020), among teachers and learners of French at the university.
