Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is an approach to course and syllabus design based on principles that enable faculty to design and teach their courses in ways that make learning accessible to all learners. Drawing on current brain research and the new media technologies, UDL uses inclusive pedagogical strategies for course instruction, materials, content, and curriculum that benefit student...

The main purpose of the present exploration was to see if EAP syllabuses have been developed based on reading comprehension needs of undergraduate students. To this end, 656 undergraduate students, 75 graduate students, 150 post-graduate students, 75 content teachers and 30 EAP teachers of fifteen randomly selected academic disciplines filled in a needs analysis questionnaire. To triangulate th...

Recall that a homeomorphism is a continuous bijection with a continuous inverse. Definition 1.1. Let U be a domain in R. Consider vector fields X,Y ∈ X(U) with flows F , F : I × U → U , where I is an open interval in R such that 0 ∈ I. The dynamics of X and Y is said to be C-equivalent if there exists a homeomorphism φ : U → U with the following property: for all t ∈ I there exists a t′ ∈ I suc...

BACKGROUND The acquisition of new knowledge is a primary goal of residency training. Retrieving and retaining influential primary and secondary medical literature can be challenging for house officers. We set out to investigate the effect of a Universal Serial Bus (USB) drive loaded with landmark scientific articles on housestaff education in a pilot study. METHODS We created a USB syllabus t...

This paper introduces a number theoretical and practical issues related to the “Syllabus”. Syllabus is a multi-lingua ontology based tool, designed to improve the applications of the European Directives in the various European countries.

The recently introduced Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) requirements for Graduate Attributes [1] require demonstrated learning outcomes for the first time. CDIO has required outcomes and benchmarking for more than a decade, and the CDIO Syllabus [2] has provided a detailed and proven framework within which to organize the topics covered by those outcomes. The latest revision of ...
