As the theoretical foundations of bibliographic instruction are examined increasingly in the context of learning theory and teaching methods, comparisons with the classroom environment found in academic settings are inevitable. The specific role of humor in the college classroom and its effect upon both learning and the communicative climate has been of interest to educational researchers, prod...

Learning from a distance has become a very popular approach in education. Learning in the 21 century necessitates innovative teaching methods. Distance Learning (DL) is only one method representing this phenomenon. In the past decade, DL has been gradually been replacing traditional instruction methods. In this study we explore the learning outcomes and benefits when employing simulations in a ...

Results 69 health care professionals from 16 countries were trained. In their home countries, 37 (53.6%) worked in hospitals; 31 (44.5%) worked in Ministry of Health agencies, and 6 (8.7%) were on teaching faculties of universities. The highest score on the written test was 46 out of 50 and the lowest score was 27 out of 50. All the participants could answer two questions correctly about urinar...

Learning management systems (LMSs) contain tons of existing courses but very little attention is paid to how well these courses actually support learners. In online learning, teachers build courses according to their teaching methods that may not fit with students with different learning styles. The harmony between the learning styles that a course supports and the actual learning styles of stu...

The accuracy with which native Japanese listeners identified American English vowels and coda nasals was assessed before and after training. The listeners were divided into four groups, each of which received a different type of training. Two of the four groups were vowel-oriented; one of these groups received vowel identification training (VI), while the other received vowel discrimination tra...

Distance Learning (DL) has emerged as an innovative teaching method and is becoming very popular in today’s education. This study examines the learning outcomes and benefits of using a simulation game in a DL environment. We found that DL brings a different learning experience to students; however, they do not necessarily regard this method as superior to the traditional face-to-face method. Th...

This work integrates two aspects whose positive impact on learning has been tested flip teaching and cooperation among students. In this proposal the faculty/students of a subject use, throughout the flip teaching technique, the resources created by students of a different degree. The theme of the resources is about teamwork competence, topic in which students create and later use the resources...

Nowadays, eLearning has been adapted in all educational institutes, starting from kindergartens, primary schools, high schools, to the universities. Teachers are encouraged to use computer and Internet as a teaching medium in addition to the classroom teaching. The result is a blended learning which combines eLearning as a supplementary learning means to classroom learning. The issue becomes wh...

Interactive multimedia might be taught in a number of higher education environments in addition to art and design. This paper discusses the appropriateness (or otherwise) of Art and Design teaching methods to the learning of this subject, and ends by asking how such methods should perhaps be modified, perhaps not only for the study of multimedia. In order to establish the background to this dis...
