Introduction The use of computer-generated three-dimensional (3D) anatomical models to teach anatomy has proliferated. However, there is little evidence that these models are educationally effective. The purpose of this study was to test the educational effectiveness of a computer-generated 3D model of the middle and inner ear. Methods We reconstructed a fully interactive model of the middle an...

This paper examines the nature and scope of computer science education (CSE) research. We first distinguish CSE research from other forms of educational research, outlining its aims and identity as a research discipline. In examining the state of the art of CSE research, we attempt to categorise past research studies into general themes, reflecting the diverse contributions to CSE made over the...

OBJECTIVES Patients diagnosed with systemic sclerosis (SSc) report a high need for education and support. To address these needs, a short, group-based psycho-educational programme for patients with SSc was developed and evaluated. METHODS A pre-post test design was utilised. Participants completed questionnaires on physical and psychological functioning. Furthermore, patients were asked to ev...

Problem solving has received broad public interest as an important competency in modern societies. In educational large-scale assessments paper-pencil based analytical problem solving was included first (e.g., Programme for International Student Assessment, PISA 2003). With growing interest in more complex situations, the focus has shifted to interactive problem solving (e.g., PISA 2012) requir...

Mobile educational systems have begun to emerge as potential educational environments supporting life-long learning. However, these environments still suffer from various technological and access related problems in many parts of the world. For example, the access to course materials is slow; courseware does not adapt to individual students; the real time interaction between student and the env...

Health sciences research is experiencing dramatic progress. How can dental schools throughout the world best make these research advances relevant for dental students, as well as providing them with the means to assess and utilize the research advances that will occur in the future? This complex question presents a critical challenge to the dental educational community. Research is clearly inte...

Nowadays, the development of robust educational systems has been a reality thus provoking great efforts to control users’ access in these systems. Besides, an educational system has mutable tasks, changing users’ permissions and consequently limitations are generated in the system security. The main feature of RBAC (Role Based Access Control) is that permissions are associated with roles, and a...

For SAR education a combination of theoretical lectures and practical image analysis is advisable. Using podcasts for assisting the dissemination of background knowledge and retail video gaming consoles for the practical lectures in combination is proposed. SAR simulators are widely used for teaching SAR image analysis, because they can deliver pre-defined SAR images. Even more, they can provid...
