A problem when teaching in classrooms in higher education is lack of support for interaction between the students and the teacher during the lecture. We have proposed a lecture game concept that can enhance the communication and motivate students through more interesting lectures. It is a multiplayer quiz game, called Lecture Quiz. This game concept is based on our current technology rich and c...

BACKGROUND Podcasts are popular with medical students, but the impact of podcast use on learning outcomes in undergraduate medical education has not been studied in detail. OBJECTIVE Our aim was to assess the impact of podcasts accompanied by quiz questions and lecture attendance on short- and medium-term knowledge retention. METHODS Students enrolled for a cardio-respiratory teaching modul...

This paper proposes quiz-style information presentation for interactive systems as a means to improve user understanding in educational tasks. Since the nature of quizzes can highly motivate users to stay voluntarily engaged in the interaction and keep their attention on receiving information, it is expected that information presented as quizzes can be better understood by users. To verify the ...

Systems that seek to harvest idle cycles available throughout the Internet are vulnerable to hosts that fraudently accept computational tasks and then maliciously return arbitrary results. Current strategies employed by popular cooperative computing systems, such as SETI@Home, rely heavily on task replication to check results. However, result verification through replication suffers from two po...

We compared the effects of guided lecture notes versus completed lecture notes on pre- to postlecture improvements in quiz performance across two sections of a college course. The results of a counterbalanced multielement design did not reveal consistent differences between the two note formats on students' mean quiz scores. However, fewer errors occurred on complex (analysis-level) quiz questi...

The International Intermedical School Physiology Quiz (IMSPQ) was created in 2003 at the University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, with a small group of seven local medical school teams. Our first article in this journal (4) in 2010 on the 7th IMSPQ described the event when an enlarged international physiology quiz event was stimulating interest, with 35 medical schools from 12 countries pa...

Thus, it is crucial to receive comprehensive clinical knowledge of ophthalmic disease in the primary care setting during medical school. Th...
