Using Scholarly Research in Course Redesign: Teaching to Engage Students with Authentic Disciplinary Practices

Using Augmented Reality to Engage STEM Students with an Authentic Curriculum

This paper reports on the introduction of a set of 'Augmented Reality' (AR) tasks, offering an innovative, real world and problem based set of activities for a group of first year University Gaming and Computer Science students. Our initial research identifies a gap in the perceptions of STEM students between the usefulness of discipline based modules and a compulsory 'Professional Development'...

Teaching a Cross-Disciplinary Nanocomputing Systems Course

The end of photolithography as the driver for Moore’s Law is predicted within few years and different emerging technologies (mostly nanotechnology) are expected to replace the current CMOS-based system integration paradigm. As nanotechnology is emerging, there is a strong need for well-educated engineers in nanocomputing systems design, and research and education efforts are also called to over...

Redesigning a Neuroscience Laboratory Course for Multiple Sections: An Action Research Project to Engage Students.

The purpose of our action research project was to improve students' motivation in a multi-section introductory neuroscience laboratory course. In this paper, we present: (a) how we collected data related to students' motivation and engagement, (b) how we analyzed and used the data to make modifications to the courses, (c) the results of the course modifications, and (d) some possible explanatio...
