Uncharted Universe of Educational Technology: Potential Awaits

Exploration of Uncharted Regions of the Protein Universe

The genome projects have unearthed an enormous diversity of genes of unknown function that are still awaiting biological and biochemical characterization. These genes, as most others, can be grouped into families based on sequence similarity. The PFAM database currently contains over 2,200 such families, referred to as domains of unknown function (DUF). In a coordinated effort, the four large-s...

Examining the Educational Potential of Computer-based Technology in Statistics

NIMR Awaits the Final Verdict

Is translational research enhanced by the proximity of research institutes to hospitals? For scientists at the UK's National Institute of Medical Research, which is facing relocation from London's outskirts to its center, the question is no longer academic.

This study explores the effects of integrated concept maps and classroom polling systems on students’ learning performance, attentional behavior, and brainwaves associated with attention. Twenty-nine students from an Educational Research Methodology course were recruited as participants. For data collection, inclass quizzes, attentional behavior analysis, and a 20-minute structured interview we...

Educational Technology & Society

Over the past ten years several learning environments based on novel interaction modalities have been developed. Within this field, Full-body Interaction Learning Environments open promising possibilities given their capacity to involve the users at different levels, such as sensorimotor experience, cognitive aspects and affective factors. However, Full-body Interaction is still a young field a...
