Improvements in technology and the increasing bandwidth of Internet access have led to an increasing popularity for synchronous solutions for instruction. Not only do they provide savings in terms of time and cost, in many situations they can also outperform both asynchronous online instruction and traditional facc-to-face education. However, until now, the lack of a pedagogical framework for s...

College students in a psychology research-methods course learned concepts related to inferential statistics and hypothesis decision making. One group received equivalence-based instruction on conditional discriminations that were expected to promote the emergence of many untaught, academically useful abilities (i.e., stimulus equivalence group). A negative control group received no instruction,...

Employing an explanatory sequential design, this study investigated the effects of a blog-mediated writing course on L2 students’ writing motivation, self-efficacy, and self-regulation. A number of 46 Iranian EFL learners from 2 intact university classes were recruited as the participants and were randomly assigned into the control group (n = 21) and the experimental group (n ...

This study aimed at finding out the effect of two different methods of ESP instruction, namely, the traditional grammar translation method and an eclectic method on improving university students' reading comprehension ability. The main assumption was that compared to the Grammar-Translation which is probably not an efficient method, an eclectic method that focuses on improving reading comprehen...

organising robot action control system using language for instruction. examine a modular neural network approach for the control of a robot to perform litter. both modular and traditional instructions were equally effective in facilitating The other result revealed that the use of modular approach utilizing decision tree. Abstract. Montgomery modular multiplication constitutes the “arithto our ...

Extensible processors are application-specific instruction set processors (ASIPs) that allow for customisation through user-defined instruction set extensions (ISE) implemented in an extended micro architecture. Traditional design flows for ISE typically involve a large number of different tools for processing of the target application written in C, ISE identification, generation, optimisation ...

BACKGROUND Tracheal intubation via laryngoscopy is a fundamental skill, particularly for anaesthesiologists. However, teaching this skill is difficult since direct laryngoscopy allows only one individual to view the larynx during the procedure. The purpose of this study was to determine if video-assisted laryngoscopy improves the effectiveness of tracheal intubation training. METHODS In this ...
