In this paper, a new teaching method based on EDA tools combining the blackboard and PPT media is proposed for RF Electronic Circuits based on the characteristics of the course content, which is used in circuit simulation demonstration, result analysis, and so on. We tried to study the promotion effect of the teaching method and drew a conclusion that the method to help students be more intuiti...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To characterize factors that motivate faculty to participate in Simulation-Based Boot Camps (SBBC); to assess whether prior exposure to Simulation-Based Medical Education (SBME) or duration (years) of faculty practice affects this motivation. STUDY DESIGN Qualitative content analysis of semi-structured interviews of faculty. METHODS Interviews of 35 (56%) of 62 eligibl...

To broaden the use of simulation for teaching, in particular of new procedures and of low-volume procedures, we propose an environment and workflow that allows surgeon-educators create teaching modules. Our challenge is to make the simulation tools accessible, modifiable and sharable by users with moderate computer and VR experience. Our contribution is a workflow that promotes consistency betw...

The objectives of this study were to develop, to implement and to evaluate a web-based simulation for critical care nursing, as a tool for teaching nursing students at the undergraduate level. An adapted methodology was used to develop teaching material in a web-based learning environment, consisting of three evaluation phases (ergonomic, pedagogical and usability), carried out by web-designers...

To analyze a production system and find its best configuration, the technique of simulation-based optimization is often utilized. This paper describes a practical exercise used at the University of Skövde, Sweden to teach simulation-based optimization to students using a physical Lego factory. The Lego factory provides a setting that is close to reality, and optimizing its production assists st...

Recent advances in technology have brought major changes in pedagogy methods. Distance Learning (DL) has emerged as an innovative teaching method and it is becoming very popular in today’s education. We study a business simulation game in a DL environment and examine the learning outcomes and benefits of using the game in this environment. We also compare our test results to a game conducted in...
