Intelligent Auxiliary Artificial Wood Plank Pattern Design Based on the Subject Search Algorithm of Multimedia Resources

Regarding the restriction of the wood processing enterprises in the market, intelligent artificial wood materials are mainly based on the demand for pattern quality levels, and the calculation method of multimedia resource theme search is used to achieve the pattern design of intelligent auxiliary artificial wood materials. First, analyze the pattern characteristics of intelligent auxiliary artificial wood materials. After analyzing the characteristics, use the multimedia resource subject search calculation method to carry out the binarization design. At the same time, use the self-learning method to optimize the convergence efficiency and reduce the design time. Finally, pass the softmax designer extracts design schemes for patterns and straight lines.

LUDUS-Desenvolvimento de um Jogo para Auxiliar no Aprendizado de Matemática para Alunos com Autismo

The present work was created from the need to develop educational tools that can be used in the Multimedia Resource Rooms of the Bagémunicipal education network, especially with children with autism. The software requirements were defined from meetings with the team of teachers and professionals who work in the Specialized Educational Service of General Emilio Luiz Malletschool, chosen as pilot of this project because it is one of the first schools to be contemplated with the classroom. resources. Among the listed requirements was prioritized to attend students aged 8-12 years and activities related to the four fundamental operations of mathematics: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. As the purpose of the app is to support the teaching of students in the early grades of elementary school with autism. Thus, after the definition of the contents and the type of application, began to study the autistic universe and its particularities so that it was possible to design and develop an attractive game for this student

Adoption of online multimedia resources in a general chemistry laboratory course context: A case study

Pre-laboratory practices and online pre-laboratory resources have been implemented in laboratory courses through various instructional approaches. This study seeks to elicit information about how online multimedia resources are embraced and used in the course system and which factors might affect the adoption of the resources in this context. This research was designed as a case study in order to explore the enablers and barriers of online multimedia resource adoption and associated problems in the system through two resources developed in video and simulation formats. Interviews, observations, and documents were applied so as to provide a detailed perspective of the course and the phenomenon. The findings of the study revealed that the multimedia components of the resources attracted the students’ interest and engagement, and affected the users’ preparation routines; however, attitude toward the course and resources, lack of policy practices and support, quality of the resources, problems in classroom practices, and administration were found to be prominent issues that challenged the adoption of online resources. The study offers suggestions concerning how to adopt the online resources into laboratory courses, and insights about the implications of online resources and their different multimedia features are also presented.

Mathematics teachers’ learning on Exploratory Teaching: analysis of a Multimedia Case in a Community of Practice

This article aim is to investigate what professional learning regarding Exploratory Teaching (ET) perspective was revealed by Mathematics teachers, in a Community of Practice (CoP). In a context intended to promote teachers’ professional development, a multimedia resource integrating real classroom situations was used to promote discussion and learning. Qualitative research has been carried out with an audio recording of the group meetings and the written productions elaborated by the teachers. The learning related to the Exploratory Teaching perspective revealed by the teachers is associated to the actions and roles of the teacher, the student’s role, classroom management and the relevance of lesson planning in teacher’s practice. The involvement in the CoP favored teachers to rethink and question some of their actions during the lessons and to notice essential aspects of ET perspective and to connect them with their experiences from the classroom. The results show that the constitution of a CoP around the exploration of a multimedia case in professional development contexts can be a facilitator for the learning of its members.

Improving recruitment to a study of telehealth management for COPD: a cluster randomised controlled study-within-a-trial (SWAT) of a multimedia information resource

Background Good quality information is critical for valid informed consent to trials, but current paper-based consent procedures are potentially unwieldy and can be difficult to comprehend, which may deter people from participating. Multimedia resources may be able to provide more accessible and user-friendly information. We aimed to test whether offering access to a multimedia information resource alongside standard, printed patient information impacted on recruitment rates, by conducting a pragmatic ‘study within a trial’ (SWAT) embedding a trial of a multimedia resource within an existing trial. Methods The PSM COPD study involved people with mild symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) recruited from primary care being randomised to a nurse-delivered telephone health coaching intervention, or usual primary care. For the SWAT of recruitment procedures, practices recruiting participants were cluster randomised to use either the standard printed patient information materials or standard printed patient information materials with access to a multimedia information resource. The multimedia resource was developed by PPI contributors and researchers, and included study-specific information (e.g. study purpose, risks), and generic information about trials (e.g. confidentiality, randomisation). We developed a list of components and used animations as well as video clips of patients discussing their experiences of participation, matched to these components. The primary outcome was the proportion of participants randomised. Results 9.6% of those receiving standard printed patient information materials and access to the multimedia information resource were recruited, compared to 10.8% in those receiving standard printed materials alone (OR = 0.844, 95% CI 0.58 to 1.22). We also found no effects on the proportion of people response to the invitation (odds ratio1.02 95% CI 0.79 to 1.33) or retention in the trial at 6 and 12 months after randomization (odds ratios 0.84, 95% CI 0.57 to 1.22 and 0.80, 95% CI 0.54 to 1.18 respectively.) Conclusions The study suggests no benefits of access to a multimedia information resource alongside patient information materials on recruitment. This may reflect the limited engagement of patients with the multimedia resource. Further uses of multimedia resources will need to explore how content can be explicitly matched to user needs and preferences and methods to encourage engagement to see if effects can be enhanced. More SWATs of multimedia into ongoing trials will provide a more precise estimate of effect, and explore further how effects vary by trial context and recruitment process, intervention, and patient population.
