The recent rapid growth of the Internet as a global telecommunications medium has also led to significant innovations in relation to the delivery of education and training. Many aspects of the learning process, from the presentation of information and interpersonal communication, to assessment of learning outcomes and performance, can now be supported using widely accessible Internet-based form...

Instructional designers and teachers, at all levels of education and training, try to put in common, to share and to reuse the practices affecting their pedagogical design and expertise. However, the instructional environment, and in particular the design and development of educational systems, can benefit from similar knowledge sharing, especially because of the difficulty, length and cost of ...

This paper diagnoses the implementation of a new engineering course entitled „schoolbased learning (SBL) to work-based learning (WBL) transition module‟ in the Bahrain Technical and Vocational Education (TVE) learning environment. The module was designed to incorporate an innovative education and training approach with a variety of learning activities that are included in various learning case ...

Remote control of experiments is gaining more importance in training and education. However, remote real-time training on instruments programming still have some unresolved problems such as error management. In this paper, a platform for training students on system’s control by Tele-Programming is presented. Programming sessions can be done by the trainee at many levels of control with built-in...

Mechatronics is becoming an important subject in engineering education and vocational training. Accordingly, there is a growing need for innovative learning concepts, capable of supporting the necessary education and training platforms. Integrated learning arrangements where e-learning with simulations and remote laboratories is combined with experiential learning in real laboratories and at wo...

OBJECTIVE: To provide an overview of current cognitive learning processes, including a summary of research that supports the use of specific instructional methods to foster those processes. We have developed examples in athletic training education to help illustrate these methods where appropriate. DATA SOURCES: Sources used to compile this information included knowledge base and oral and didac...

Doctors have recently gained substantial experience of using telemedical applications for consultations, education and training, and conferences. What is still lacking is systematic evaluation of these new approaches compared with traditional procedures. Trials involving consultations for diagnostic, monitoring, and interpretative purposes should be blinded and multicentred, and should include ...

CONTEXT Successful implementation of evidence-based practice (EBP) within athletic training is contingent upon understanding the attitudes and beliefs and perceived barriers toward EBP as well as the accessibility to EBP resources of athletic training educators, clinicians, and students. OBJECTIVE To assess the attitudes, beliefs, and perceived barriers toward EBP and accessibility to EBP res...
