چکیده

Interactive systems based on augmented reality (AR) and tangible user interfaces (TUI) hold great promise for enhancing how to learn and understand abstract phenomena. In particular, they combine the advantages of numerical simulation and pedagogical support while keeping the learner involved in true physical experimentation. In this paper, we discuss three examples of such AR and TUI systems that address hardly perceivable concepts. The first example, Helios, targets K-12 learners in the field of astronomy. The second one, Hobit, is dedicated to experiments in wave optics. Finally, the third one, Teegi, allows one to get to know more about brain activity. These three hybrid interfaces have emerged from a common basis that jointly combines research and development work in the fields of instructional design and human–computer interaction (HCI), from theoretical to practical aspects. Based on investigations carried out in the context of real use and grounded on works in education and HCI, we formalize how and why the hybridization of the real and the virtual leverages the way learners understand intangible phenomena in Science education.

Standardized patients versus simulated patients in medical education: are they the same or different

In order to equip medical students with all the necessary skills in dealing with patients to provide optimal treatment, the need for the use of real patients in educational settings has become prominent. But all the required skills cannot be practiced on real patients due to patients’ safety and well-being. Thus, the use of standardized patients (SPs) or simulated patients (SiPs) as a substitut...

An Introduction to Inference and Learning in Bayesian Networks

Bayesian networks (BNs) are modern tools for modeling phenomena in dynamic and static systems and are used in different subjects such as disease diagnosis, weather forecasting, decision making and clustering. A BN is a graphical-probabilistic model which represents causal relations among random variables and consists of a directed acyclic graph and a set of conditional probabilities. Structure...
