From “Meet the Marketers” sessions in lectures, to onlineopportunities for students grappling with real-world marketing, I apply a rich range of innovative teaching approaches to engagestudents in their learning. My teaching philosophy incorporatesproblem-based, collaborative and research-led learning andteaching. Directly involving hundreds of students in lectureactivities,...

Innovative teaching methods such as collaborative learning, teamwork and mind maps were introduced to a Statistics course at tertiary level and compared to traditional teaching methods. These innovative teaching strategies, which are considered generic and therefor applicable in any educational environment, proved to be successful. Collaboration and teamwork is an important factor in the develo...

BACKGROUND Specialists in Rheumatology and Orthopaedics are frequently involved in undergraduate teaching of musculoskeletal (MSK) examination skills. Students often report that specialty-led teaching is inconsistent, confusing and bears little resemblance to the curricula. The Gait, Arms, Legs and Spine (GALS) is a MSK screening tool that provides a standardised approach to examination despite...

This paper investigates the role of virtual reality and web technologies in the field of dietetics education. Within this frame, special emphasis is given on the building of web-based virtual learning environments so as to successfully fulfill their educational objectives. In particular, basic pedagogical methods are studied, focusing mainly on the efficient preparation, approach and presentati...

Physical cardiovascular examination, particularly cardiac auscultation, is one of the most difficult clinical skills for students during their medical training. Studies suggest that the use of technologies such as digital stethoscope increase the accuracy of clinical examination, however, its impact on the teaching of cardiac auscultation for undergraduate students of medicine is not known. The...

Aiming at shortcomings in the current system of practice teaching in high schools especially in regional high schools, a system of practice teaching that fit current cultivation of practical and innovative talents is explored in education.

This pedagogical study is an innovative collaboration with a vendor to analyze factors affecting students' perceived satisfaction with the vendor’s Business Process Management (BPM) tool. Although BPM tools potentially enhance organizations’ productivity, dissatisfied users will diminish such outcomes. Users were thirty students in eight teams who participated in an assignment that required a d...

We describe a system, Prompt, used to design physical systems. Prompt employs a multi-level approach to design. When simple constraint propagation over prototypes [Adda fails, Prompt can significantly modify prototypes by reasoning about their structure and physics. Prompt derives the behavior of a prototype from its structure using knowledge of physics stored in a Graph of Models. It then uses...
