The Smart Classroom project explores the challenges and potentials of the Intelligent Environment as a new human-computer interaction paradigm. By constructing an intelligent classroom for tele-education, we try to provide teachers the same experiences as in an ordinary classroom when giving teleeducation lessons. The Smart Classroom could actively observe, listen and serve the teachers, and te...

This study investigated the effects of sharing a classroom during primary school on cognitive achievement in twins. METHOD Subjects were 839 monozygotic and 1164 dizygotic twin pairs who were reg...

Real-time interactive virtual classrooms play an important role in distance learning. However currently available systems are insufficient in supporting large-scale user access, and they cannot efficiently support accessing with heterogeneous devices and networks. Furthermore, these systems are usually desktop-based, until the result that the teacher’s experience is completely different from te...

Our goal is to investigate the role of ICT within the complex inter-relationships amongst aspects of the classroom setting which contribute to young children’s activity and learning. This paper focuses on the relationships between the many different features of the classroom which influence learning. These include the teacher’s plans and classroom organisation, the way in which the teacher medi...

This article identifies four distinct zones in which workplace problems can be addressed through education and training. These zones enable educators to address workplace learning more widely and broadly. Very often, problems arising in the workplace are dealt with through training in the classroom, but other options exist. The theoretical framework is drawn from social learning literature (e.g...

For centuries, didactic teaching sections have occupied a large proportion of the available teaching-learning time in medical courses. This form of teaching has relied heavily on professors disseminating information through lectures and students passively absorbing knowledge for a majority of the class period. The extensive use of traditional lectures limits students’ time to actively learn, sy...
