CROSSWORD PUZZLES, hidden messages, word scrambles, word searches, card games, and “virtual” rats are used to motivate students, enhance their understanding of physiology, and foster logical thinking and problem-solving skills (1, 5–7). Similarly, jigsaw puzzles advance these attributes while also promoting the development of visual-spatial processing skills (9). The process of constructing the...

Recent studies have suggested a theoretical distinction between active elaboration and passive storage in visuospatial working memory, but research with older adults has failed to demonstrate a differential preservation of these two abilities. The results are controversial, and the investigation of the active component has been inhibited by the absence of any appropriate experimental procedures...

Although numerous critics have complained that Saw is ethically confused, little attention has actually been paid to how morality manifests in the series’ rolling narrative. Rather than seeking to understand the films by exploring them in detail, critics have accused Saw of being potentially corrupting, making a leap in logic between the overt preaching of Jigsaw – Saw’s lead protagonist-cum-ki...

There has been a growing interest in image jigsaw puzzles with square shaped pieces. A solver takes as input square shaped patches of the same size belonging to an image and attempts to reconstruct the image. The key components of a jigsaw solver are a compatibility metric and an assembly algorithm. A compatibility metric uses the color content of the image patches to identify which pairs of pi...

This project involved the use of two small, closely matched non-majors introductory biology classes to test the use of the Jigsaw method of teaching vs. a passive, instructor-oriented model of teaching. In this study, the Jigsaw method was used as a jumping off point for the teaching-learning of the material. Students were to learn the concepts of the chapters through the Jigsaw method and thei...

JIGSAW is a well-known technique for collaborative learning. Students typically use it in a face-to-face setting without computer support. This paper describes a Webbased tool for both the preparation of the collaborative learning activities and the execution of the activities. The teachers design and prepare collaborative learning activities and the proposal is they do it in a collaborative wa...

We report findings from the second phase of a study of co-operative, group-based assessment in Pharmacology for second-year undergraduates at The University of Queensland, Australia. Students (n = 285) enrolled in the 2006 Bachelor of Science degree program completed a group-based assessment task (weighted 10% of their course). Blended teaching strategies and the task design were modified to su...

Ever since the discovery of conducting polymers, organic molecules and salts in the 1960s and 1970s, conducting organic solids and their potential for electronic and photonic functions have attracted interest1–3. This has been driven by their mechanical flexibility and their large-scale, low-cost production compared with their inorganic counterparts. When devices exploiting the electronic prope...
