Context: Face-to-Face (F2F) interaction is a strong means to foster social relationships and effective knowledge sharing within a team. However, communication in Global Software Development (GSD) teams is usually restricted to computermediated conversation that is perceived to be less effective and interpersonal. Temporary collocation of dispersed members of a software development team is a wel...

Introduction Students’ self-learning time that takes place outside of the classroom is an unmeasured learning time. In medical education, students’ in presence and absence a teacher are ‘Face-to-Face’ (F2F) ‘Non-Face-to-Face’ (NF2F) learning, respectively. Traditionally, content topic delivered by one-hour lecture recognized as F2F However, its mirror NF2F remains unknown. The objective this st...

Many universities are adopting eLearning in their programs. Accordingly, there is an urgency to reconsider the pedagogical perspectives, which need to be refined in order to meet the demands of learning conducted in these technology-rich environments. The theory of scaffolding, which aligns with the constructivist theory, is revisited to teach an EFL writing class and expanded in order to provi...

Motion estimation (ME) is a key encoding component of almost all modern video coding standards. ME contributes significantly to video coding efficiency, but, it also consumes the most power of any component in a video encoder. In this paper, an ME processor with 3D stacked memory architecture is proposed to reduce memory and core power consumption. First, a memory die is designed and stacked wi...

Online education has become increasingly popular for providing learning experiences in all disciplines. Despite continued evidence that online learning is at least equivalent to traditional methods, some educators are reluctant to embrace online educational offerings. This study evaluated whether an online class provided within an otherwise traditional face-to-face (F2F) nurse anesthesia curric...
