Dentistry is a profession that involves the acquisition and maintenance of fine psychomotor skills. The many components of the motor system in the brain work together during all movements, but each area is activated to a varying degree depending on whether an individual is learning, training or maintaining expertise. The transition from nonexpert to expert involves practice and experience to al...

PURPOSE Enabling valuable research findings to be used by the field requires a strategic approach to dissemination and utilization rather than simply making constituencies aware of the information. This article describes a conceptual framework for the dissemination and utilization of information, along with examples of its use by the Boston University Roybal Center for Enhancement of Late Life ...

In this work, we explored a middle point between the common approach of sharing knowledge using oral narratives and the automatic approach of generation of narratives by computational tools. We describe a new model to capture the flow of events of a story and the changes in the social interactions between the characters as the story progresses. We present a description of the software implement...

This paper presents the shared augmented reality system called TransVision. TransVision augments real table-top with the computer graphics objects. Two or more participants hold a palmtop size see-through display and look at the world through the display. They can share the same virtual environment in the real world environment. Since users are not isolated from the real world, natural mutual c...

Many social workers engage in Yarning and truth-telling. This worldview is important considering that Australian work literature historically informed by white western thought. lens has obstructed the self-determination of Aboriginal their communities. We came together as non-Aboriginal allies. Our authorship engaged dialogue Dadirri (deep listening) with one another reciprocal relationships. t...

The science of developing computer programs offers a rich educational experience that can help students gain fluency with information technology. Unfortunately, while computers have become commonplace in schools, the practice of teaching programming is being squeezed out of high school and middle school curricula. We believe that programming should be reintroduced to students, and that this can...

Shared responsibilities such as mentoring, instruction, learner monitoring and classroom management enable the peers to observe, review, reflect on and learn from the overall practical professional expertise of one another through collegial instruction experience. The present exploratory case study has The present exploratory case study has attempted to study collegial teaching as an innovative...

One of the most crucial tasks in a see-through augmented reality (AR) system is to register the virtual objects with the real world through a transparent display. The importance stems not only from the fact that registration requires careful calibration of the system but also from the necessity that any calibration procedure should take into account the users. Tuceryan et al. in [26] proposed a...

H ow does expertise influence thinking and working in geologic field environments? We studied this question during "Learning Across the Expert-Novice Continuum: Cognition in the Geosciences," a collaborative research project funded by NSF's REESE program. The project brought 67 geologists—from sophomore undergraduate majors through geologists with decades of field experience—to a field site in ...
