ePEARL: Electronic Portfolio Encouraging Active Reflection Learning
In Québec, like many other places, more than 20 percent of primary-school students have to repeat a grade before going on to secondary school and 70 percent of those drop out of high school (Statistics Canada, 2001). Currently, school is too often a place that disengages learners, which fails to encourage honest self-assessment, and where learning and evaluation are not meaningful acts of impro...
متن کاملEncouraging Active Learning through Multimedia & Interactive Courseware
The paper presents the architecture and preliminary design of MICS (Multimedia and Interactive Courseware for information Security), which consists of a collection of interactive multimedia animations to enhance our curriculum in trustworthy computing. Each animation illustrates some important concepts and encourages the user to examine these concepts in depth. These animations require active p...
متن کاملTeaching Research: Encouraging Discoveries
What does it take to turn a learner into a discoverer? Or to turn a teacher into a co-adventurer? A handful of experiences—from teaching a middle-school math class to doing research with undergraduates—have changed the way that I would answer these questions. Some of the lessons I’ve learned have surprised me. The title of this article may seem a little puzzling. After all, the words teaching a...
متن کاملWhen Does Active Learning Work?
Active Learning (AL) methods seek to improve classifier performance when labels are expensive or scarce. We consider two central questions: Where does AL work? How much does it help? To address these questions, a comprehensive experimental simulation study of Active Learning is presented. We consider a variety of tasks, classifiers and other AL factors, to present a broad exploration of AL perf...
متن کاملRole of E-Learning in Teaching Anatomical Sciences
Introduction: Medical undergraduates usually understand and memorize anatomical course material with difficulty. Also, the current text books and atlases of anatomy and histology do not fulfill all the learning needs of the undergraduates. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the role of internet websites and computer programs (i.e. the role of electronic learning) in teaching....
