General practitioners (GPs) have to professionally manage their practice. Studies on the quality of GP educational programs revealed that the majority of GP students are dissatisfied with what they learn about running an own general practice. They learn mostly theory from textbooks as opposed to hands-on experience. The new-generation GPs are raised digitally and need more modern learning metho...

In this paper we reflect on how to teach methods used in participatory design (PD) to graduate students. We describe a course concept that has proved very successful both in terms of student satisfaction and course results during the last years. Lectures introduce the concept of PD and a wide variety of participatory methods for analysis and design; exercises prepared and facilitated by small g...

The credibility of an instructional simulation is the most important issue in distance education, where it may replace hands-on activities. This credibility is based in large part upon verisimilitude, a perception strongly influenced by the simulation’s realism. This paper presents a case study encompassing the design process of a simulation-based virtual laboratory, which was guided by a reali...

Results demonstrate that peer mentoring increased contentmastery and had a positive effect on students’ perceptions of the learning experience. Peer marketing mentors, along with the faculty team, achieved success in providin...

This paper introduces MiRo the world’s first commercial biomimetic robot and describes how its vocal system was designed using a real-time parametric general-purpose mammalian vocal synthesiser tailored to the specific physical characteristics of the robot. MiRo’s capabilities will be demonstrated live during the hands-on interactive ‘Show & Tell’ session at INTERSPEECH-2017.
