Improving First-Year Writing Using Argument Diagramming
There is substantial evidence from many domains that visual representations aid various forms of cognition. We aimed to determine whether learning to construct visual representations of argument structure enhanced the acquisition and development of argumentative writing skills within the context of first-year college writing course. We found a significant effect of the use of argument diagrams,...
متن کاملStrategies for Improving a Java-Based, First Year Programming Course
This paper describes the evolution of a first year Java course at Griffith University Gold Coast since Semester 1, 2000 to the present day. The course was updated to emphasise program design and to implement and evaluate an "objects-as-needed" approach to first year programming. A number of strategies were tested to increase consistency amongst teaching staff, improve delivery of course resourc...
متن کاملWhy Study Electromagnetics: The First Unit in an Undergraduate Electromagnetics Course
Maxwell’s equations, formulated circa 1870, represent a fundamental unification of electric and magnetic fields predicting electromagnetic wave phenomena which Nobel Laureate Richard Feynman has called the most outstanding achievement of 19th-century science. Now, engineers and scientists worldwide use computers ranging from simple desktop machines to massively parallel arrays of processors to ...
متن کاملImproving public health by tackling climate change
Across the world, climate change is now responsible for substantial mortality and morbidity, through direct effects on health and also by threatening the determinants of health. This commentary argues that adaptation policies to enhance resilience to adverse climate events are important, but must be coupled with determined action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The prize is synergy: many su...
متن کاملTackling HCI Challenges of Creating Personalised, Pervasive Learning Ecosystems
This paper explores two classes of emerging technology that o er the promise to provide radically improved ways to support lifelong learning. We particularly focus on the human computer interaction (HCI) challenges that must be addressed if that promise is to be realised. One technology is personalisation, based on a long term learner model which captures the learner's knowledge, preferences an...
