Microlearning through TikTok in Higher Education. An evaluation of uses and potentials

While social media is evolving rapidly, understanding its underlying and persistent features with the potential to support high-quality learning would provide opportunities to enhance competence acquisition and collaborative work in higher education. Moreover, the adoption of tools that students already use in their everyday lives facilitates the integration of new forms of learning. In this context, we have developed an initiative to disseminate content through TikTok in three modules of the Bachelor's Degree in Nursing course, with the aim of promoting quality learning through these microlearning environments. To this end, we have implemented these learning environments and evaluated the users’ perceptions, as well as their level of acceptance of the technology according to the Technology Acceptance Model. Overall, our results show high levels of satisfaction with regard to engagement and the content generated, as well as in terms of the acceptance of the technology. Our results do not show gender-specific variations, but we did detect slight variations depending on the subject in which the microlearning tool was deployed. Although for the most part these variations do not change the participants' assessment of their experience, it will be necessary in the future to determine the underlying reasons for these variations. In addition, our results suggest that it is possible to design a content creation system to promote quality learning through microlearning that can be transferred to other subjects, at least in the Bachelor's Degree in Nursing.

Development of virtual reality content for learning Japan Prehospital Trauma Evaluation and Care initial assessment procedures.

AimThe Japan Prehospital Trauma Evaluation and Care (JPTEC) is a standardized educational program for prehospital trauma care in Japan. The initial assessment in the JPTEC course comprises a training segment that includes a 30‐min session. Given the limited face‐to‐face training due to the coronavirus disease 2019, virtual reality (VR) content has become an alternative. However, creating VR content typically requires the assistance of expert technicians. We aimed to create VR content for the initial assessment segment of the JPTEC and verify its educational effectiveness.MethodsWe created VR content for learning the initial assessment of the JPTEC using our easy‐to‐use VR content creation system. The participants played the VR content for 15 min. The number of times they “cleared” (i.e., made a correct decision and completed the initial assessment) was recorded every 5 min. Then, a JPTEC‐certified instructor tested their practical skills through face‐to‐face simulation.ResultsThe authors had no specialized skills and created the VR content in 2 days. Fourteen students used the material. They cleared the scenario 3 (3–4) times in the first 5 min in 15 min, 5 (4–5) times in the second 5 min, and 5 (5–5) times in the third 5 min (P < 0.05). All participants passed the practical evaluation.ConclusionA shorter VR training developed using our easy‐to‐use VR content creation system can replace the 30‐min JPTEC session on the initial assessment. This system allows for the free and easy creation of VR content.

ScoolAR: An Educational Platform to Improve Students’ Learning Through Virtual Reality

Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) applications has been investigated in several domains. As such, their application in educational settings has witnessed to a growing interest by the research community. Teachers can be assisted by AR/VR, in a way that students can strength the learning outcomes, gained during the classroom lecture. However, despite their potential has been widely assessed, there still exists a bottleneck preventing a widespread adoption in the education domain: the lack of easy to use platforms enabling teachers and students to become producers of AR/VR experiences. This paper fills this gap, by proposing a novel platform named ScoolAR, developed for didactic purposes. ScoolAR allows to create AR/VR applications without any programming skills. Up to now, there is no evidence in the state-of-art of a didactic tool that allows to create AR/VR applications without programming skills. From such premises, ScoolAR has been developed to overcome these limitations and to enable an autonomous content creation system and thus boosting more engagement and awareness in the exploitation of AR and VR applications in everyday educational scenarios. Beside describing the architectural framework of the proposed platform, this paper presents the results of experiments conducted in a real didactic scenario. Considering two group of students, the first group was assisted with the ScoolAR framework, the second one conducted the study phase with frontal lecture. The test performed proved that the first group outperformed the second one on all metrics of evaluation. Thus, the combined effort between common didactic activities and technological innovation permits to achieve superior results in terms of both knowledge and competences, especially for those disciplines (e.g. Cultural Heritage and History of Architecture and more) where the transversal learning is fundamental.

Technology and Dynamic Pathways: How to Improve Nursing Care, Documentation, and Efficiency

Background: Approximately 60% of adverse events in skilled nursing facilities are likely preventable. This provides an opportunity to improve care and decrease costs for ill, and especially aged, patients. The primary line of defense against adverse events in these facilities are the nurses caring for these patients each day. Nurses are responsible for recognizing early warning signs of illness and preventing falls and other complications. The care of patients with multiple comorbidities requires nurses to attend to an often overwhelming set of interacting details. Objective: Our goal is to operationalize standards of care that can be implemented by nursing staff at skilled nursing and long-term care facilities in a manner complementing their natural workflow and facilitating patient interaction and shift documentation. To improve point of care patient management, nurses require a mobile solution that can guide their patient care unobtrusively. Methods: Nurses at a Boston-area 100-bed skilled nursing/long-term care facility used our solution consisting of an app on a mobile device together with a Web-based administration and reporting system. Our custom software running on an iPod Touch device implements an adaptive methodology for succinctly guiding nurses through a systematic review of systems, a physical exam, a fall risk protocol, and other assessments suitable to their roles in the nursing facility. Dynamically created checklists that prescribe appropriate and immediate nursing interventions are automatically presented to the nurses following each assessment based on the data collected. The software utilizes behavioral “nudges” to nurse-users to minimize errors and improve speed of data entry. Additionally, a custom content creation system allows for high-level abstraction of protocol logic, enabling real-time improvement and customization of complex protocol algorithms without the need for error-prone software programming. These methods facilitate automated reporting that aids the structured thought processes of providers and caregivers. Results: Pilot results were acquired using qualitative surveys and free-form interviews. Nurses reported a high facility after only an initial 15-minute training session. All nurses confirmed that having access to an efficient and mobile care facilitation device improved the likelihood of identifying patient complications. They also felt that a mobile documentation system lowered error rates by encouraging real-time documentation. Furthermore, systematic data gathering provided an improved level of documentation both in terms of comprehensiveness and clarity. Nurses claimed the system increased efficiency and lowered the overall time required for combined patient assessment and documentation. Most importantly, staff satisfaction was highly positive, encouraging continued usage of the intervention. Conclusions: Technological interventions at skilled nursing facilities, when implemented to address the point-of-care needs of nursing personnel, can positively impact quality improvement goals, empower nursing staff, and improve patient care. The suite of tools developed here enables the operationalization of standards of care with sufficient comprehensiveness to address a sufficient portion of the complexity faced in daily nursing duties. We conclude that access to real-time protocols has a highly beneficial effect on nursing care. [iproc 2016;2(1):e31]

Developing an ontology for cloud-based archive systems

This paper presents a domain ontology for cloud archives, based in part on the PREMIS Editorial Committee ontology for the PREMIS Data Dictionary. Our ontology's design is based on a layered model of cloud computing where lower layers provide shared services to higher layers. It focuses on the submission of generic Submission Information Packages with PREMIS preservation metadata. An ontology is designed to define a common vocabulary for cloud archives, and define the roles and responsibilities for data creation and transfer, including the registration of cloud-based content creation systems. We define the classes, object properties, data properties and annotations necessary to describe the agents, objects, events and rights that comprise a cloud archive. We evaluated the ontology with a prototype system, using real-world examples of cloud systems, digital objects and metadata. We found that the ontology was able to describe the chosen components successfully, and that it improved metadata interoperability between content creating applications and the services providing preservation metadata.

Preserving records in the cloud

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the characteristics of managing records in a cloud computing environment and compare these with existing archiving models, exemplified by the open archival information system (OAIS) reference model.Design/methodology/approachThe authors compare the functional entities in OAIS with a layered model of cloud computing, in which services are abstracted and shared between layers.FindingsIt is concluded that there are a number of areas where OAIS does not integrate well with cloud computing systems. Based on the findings, a new layered model for a cloud archiving system is defined using the concepts and information types from the OAIS reference model. The proposed model allows the sharing of functionality and information objects by making them available as services to higher layers. The model covers the entire document lifecycle, making archive functionality such as preservation planning possible at an early stage and helping to simplify records transfer.Research limitations/implicationsThe model provides a simple, OAIS compatible approach to representing how digital objects and necessary metadata can be transferred from content creation systems to archives systems.Originality/valueWhereas a lot of research has been done on the technical aspects of cloud storage, there is a lack of focus on how to comprehensively integrate records transfer and preservation in cloud systems. This paper fills in some of the gaps.

Comparing 3D content creation interfaces in two virtual worlds: World of Warcraft and Second Life

In this article we compare the content creation systems of two popular virtual worlds: World of Warcraft and Second Life. We then discuss recommendations for three-dimensional (3D) content creation systems based on current trends in 3D user interface research. We hypothesize that by designing 3D content creation systems that follow these recommendations, virtual-world economies based on custom content creation (e.g., Second Life) may be transformed, as more people will be able to create and modify content.

Automatic creation of indexed presentations from classroom lectures

This paper describes a system designed to automatically capture classroom events as videos and images. This content is delivered in several ways, most commonly as indexed multimedia presentations but also in real time as notes of classroom events. This content creation system identifies when significant events occur, e.g., material presented by computer and projected on a screen or written on a standard whiteboard, and saves these events as enhanced images. In parallel with the whiteboard capture, a digitally-zoomed video of the speaker is created. The significant event images (from cameras and computers) are used to create an index into the video and the images, video and index are complied into a Flash presentation. These presentations are used by on-campus or distance students. The event images can also be stored and exported to a Ubiquitous Presenter-style server that provides students with real-time, in-class access. The event images and video are recorded transparently to the lecturer. The lecturer need not make any modifications to teaching style or modality (whiteboard, computer-based presentation, or a combination). The primary focus of this paper is on event image and video capture techniques. The lecture capture system has great benefits for education and we report some initial experience using it in support of computer science curricula.

Valuing and using web supported teaching: A staff development role in closing the gaps

&lt;span&gt;This paper describes findings from a 2002-03 research project which sought to establish what the barriers were to the adoption or extended use of the centrally supported online learning management and content creation system by academic staff at the University of Adelaide. The research was conducted using semi-structured interviews and a survey administered to all teaching staff at the University. The survey canvassed respondents' use of and the value they placed on web supported teaching (particularly the centrally supported learning management system MyUni) and barriers to its adoption and further use. Respondents reported a higher valuing of and future intention to use than their current use of the Internet to support teaching. Factors that constrained their adoption or expanded use of web supported teaching included time and workload pressures, concerns about knowledge and skills, conceptions of teaching and the value of web supported learning for improving student outcomes, and the perceived stability and integration of the University infrastructure and learning management system. Respondents' views of priorities in addressing these concerns related to improved support from the University for web supported teaching, including staff development and training, IT and administrative support, and management support. This paper discusses some staff development implications of the findings.&lt;/span&gt;

User-Tailored 3D Visualization of Multimedia Data

This paper presents a visual content creation and manipulation system applied to a corpus of television archives. We focus on interactive visualization and navigation for a set of multimedia data. What is novel here is that visualization is user-tailored—it is structured by the criteria established by the user so that he can more easily locate his position in the data set and conduct information research. The application creates a 3D visual representation of the data contents. The data are multimedia -video, pictures, sound, and text. The current article presents generic tools used to obtain a three-dimensional visualization, which the user can parameterize. In addition, specially designed widgets are used to make visualization interactive. The prototype was developed in Java Swing and Java 3D.
