Enhance Student Learning

Online delivery of courses has become a viable option because of the Internet. This paper describes how we deliver and manage part of a postgraduate degree in telecommunications. We aim to foster learner-centered education while providing sufficient teacher centered activities to counter some of the known concerns with entirely learner-centered education. We use the Internet as the communication infrastructure to deliver teaching material globally and Lotus LearningSpace to provide the learning environment.

Remote Learning

The purpose of this study is to support learning activity in the Internet learning space. In this paper, the authors examine knowledge management and the presentation of information for collaborative learning support. RAPSODY-EX (Remote and Adaptive Educational Environment: A Dynamic Communicative System for Collaborative Learning) is a remote learning support environment organized as a learning infrastructure. RAPSODY-EX can effectively carry out collaborative learning support in asynchronous and synchronous learning modes. Remote learning is a learning style in which both individual and collaborative learning are carried out via a multimedia communication network. In the remote learning environment, the arrangement and integration of information are designed to support the decision making of learners and mediators. The aim of the project is to construct a continuously growing digital portfolio database. In addition, the architecture required for the learning environment which includes such a database is examined.

Enhance Student Learning

Do a quick search in Google Scholar and you will find overwhelming evidence that teachers both are and are not using technology in meaningful ways to enhance student learning. Actually, just do a simple Google search and you will find many news and magazine articles revealing the exact same confusing information. Yet despite all of the Internet traffic, are teachers any better at using technology to enhance student learning now than they were when educational technologies first arrived in schools? And are teacher preparation programs hindering or helping pre-service teachers in this endeavor? As Gen Z enters college and becomes practicing teachers, with their own particular characteristics and digital abilities and needs, it is important that we re-examine these questions and find out how to best serve the newest generation of teachers.

Enhance Student Learning

BackgroundAn in-house three-dimensional (3D) multiplayer online role-playing game was developed for professional skills training of pharmacy students. Students play the game in a post-apocalyptic world to save humankind from zombies. They solve virtual patient encounters through visual and motion-capture technologies. Their gaming perceptions and experiences were investigated.MethodA self-administered questionnaire obtained participants’ demographics, gaming interests, perceptions of game effectiveness, preferences on gaming elements and gameplay experience through the Game Engagement Questionnaire (GEQ). Pre-gameplay and post-gameplay assessments were tracked to assess student learning. Descriptive statistics and paired sample t-tests were used for analysis.ResultsFifty-five students were recruited. Two-thirds of the gameplay group (67.9%) liked the post-apocalyptic fantasy settings and heroic storyline (66.0%). Three quarters liked the modern setting (73.1%), authentic plots (73.5%) and plot animations (72.3%). Participants felt the game was effective in training health communication and patient history-taking skills (81.8%). Participants’ test scores for counselling increased from 66.1%±7.6% (pre-gameplay) to 70.3%±8.0% (post-gameplay, p=0.004). The highest scoring GEQ dimension was sensory and imaginative immersion (2.92±0.74).ConclusionStudents found the game useful for pharmacy professional skills training. With proper implementation, this game can become a useful tool to enhance student learning and gear them towards clinical practices.
