Improve English Learning through Artificial Intelligence for Online and Offline Mixed Teaching Path

With the development of higher education in China, English has been listed as a compulsory course in basic education, and people’s demand for English teaching level is also increasing. However, with the advent of the information age, there have been significant changes in the dissemination of knowledge, teaching methods, and teaching environment. Traditional English teaching models can no longer meet the requirements of modern society for versatile talents. Therefore, exploring the mixed online and offline English teaching path has become particularly important. Artificial intelligence (AI) is an advanced technology today. It can evaluate students’ pronunciation and provide corresponding guidance, thereby increasing students’ interest in English and improving English pronunciation accuracy. It can also provide personalized learning content and learning paths according to students' learning needs and levels. By analyzing students' learning situation and feedback, it automatically adjusts and optimizes learning resources so that students can better master English knowledge and skills. The traditional English teaching model is often limited by time and space, while the AI-based hybrid teaching model can integrate a variety of educational resources around the world, including high-quality course content, learning resources and online tutoring services, so that students can get the most suitable educational resources anytime and anywhere, which can improve learning efficiency.

An Inquiry into the Evolution of the Project-based Instructional Approach “Three” from “A Program” to “A High-quality Course”

Within the context of education reform, there is a pressing need to overhaul and enhance the existing educational approach. As part of this endeavor, it is imperative to establish a more adaptable and multifaceted project-based teaching methodology. However, it is important to acknowledge that this approach also exhibits certain inherent limits, which become increasingly apparent during its implementation. However, it is worth considering if this particular pedagogical approach can effectively address its inherent limits and successfully facilitate the desired transformation and advancement of the educational system. This research aims to examine the efficacy of the “three” teaching approach in facilitating the transition from a mere instructional plan to an effective classroom experience.

Need Analysis Survey of Designing and Developing a Mobile Augmented Reality Application for Tourism English Learning in Higher Vocational Education, China

The English proficiency of Tourism Management students is underneath the average of college level. Providentially, the progression in technology has opened another possibility for researchers to explore the full potential of technology by integrating it into teaching and learning process in English. The combination of mobile learning and Augmented Reality (AR) is a creative and effective way for Tourism English learning, because AR presents virtual 3D content on the basis of real world and brings students directly to the real scene and working environment of Tourism, and mobile learning enables students to learn without time or space constraints. Although AR and Mobile Augmented Reality (MAR) are believed to benefit education, so far, there is limited published research that addresses MAR’s benefits in higher vocational education, especially for Tourism English learning. Therefore, the objective of this research is to determine the need to develop a MAR application, namely Mobile Augmented Reality Tourism English Learning (MARTEL), for Tourism Management students in Higher Vocational College (HVC). This study surveyed the needs from 169 students from 1st and 2nd grades of Tourism Management program and data were analysed by descriptive statistics. In addition, 6 Tourism English teachers were interviewed and the text of the conversations was transcribed thematically. Findings revealed that both teachers and students expressed the lack of English proficiency, the insufficient effect of existing technological teaching tools, and feedback quite positively on MAR technology and MARTEL, indicating that the demand of MARTEL is considerable. It is foreseeable that as an advanced and interesting teaching tool, MARTEL application will be able to improve teaching and learning efficiency, make Tourism English an innovative and high-quality course, and even to a certain extent, change the teaching ecology of domestic Tourism English courses.

Управління скороченням браку продукції промислового підприємства: теоретичний і практичний аспекти

The competitiveness of enterprises depends not only on the efficient use of economic resources, promotion of the product brand, but also on meeting the needs of consumers for quality products. Therefore, economic entities should pay attention to the production of goods without deviations from standards and norms and without rejects, which will allow them to win in the market competition. This justifies the relevance of the subject matter of the article and its timeliness. The purpose of the article is to generalize the theoretical concepts of the product quality management process and to develop recommendations on the example of an industrial enterprise of the flow type of production to reduce product defects. The object is the process of managing product quality and reducing rejects. The article’s subject is the theoretical provisions, methods, methodological and practical recommendations for managing the quality of products of industrial enterprises aimed at reducing the percentage of defective products. The main methods used in the article are general scientific methods of cognition: analysis and synthesis, theoretical generalization, monographic, structural-logical and system analyses, special research methods: statistical analysis, expert survey, Pareto rule, Ishikawa method, and graphical method. The main results presented in the article are as follows. Based on the generalization of scientific literature, the author proposes a definition of the concept of quality. Quality should be understood as ensuring the quality of each type of economic resource, which allows for a high-quality course of business processes and production of goods which satisfy the needs of consumers and are provided with their effective demand. In other words, products that are defective in terms of their technical or quality characteristics do not meet their standard and are unable to provide their intended functions. Products can be recognized as defective at any stage of production and operations of the production cycle. On the example of the industrial enterprise under study, the article considers the statistics of nonconformity and defective products in the most important production unit, the work of which is characterized by a significant percentage of rejects, according to operational and output control. Using the Pareto rule, the main causes of rejects are identified and Ishikawa diagrams are constructed for the most significant two causes. Further, in accordance with the Ishikawa diagrams, measures to prevent nonconformities and defects in products are proposed for two main reasons and five sections: equipment; control system; staff; raw materials; and working conditions. A unified standardized sequence for determining the causes of deviations and rejects in 16 stages has been developed. The use of training methods for staff of an industrial enterprise to improve product quality and reduce rejects is proposed.

Highquality course resources are gathered, built and shared to improve the teaching quality.

Salient syllabi: Examining design characteristics of science online courses in higher education.

The importance of online learning in higher education settings is growing, not only in wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. Therefore, metrics to evaluate and increase the quality of online instruction are crucial for improving student learning. Whereas instructional quality is traditionally evaluated with course observations or student evaluations, course syllabi offer a novel approach to predict course quality even prior to the first day of classes. This study develops an online course design characteristics rubric for science course syllabi. Utilizing content analysis, inductive coding, and deductive coding, we established four broad high-quality course design categories: course organization, course objectives and alignment, interpersonal interactions, and technology. Additionally, this study exploratively applied the rubric on 11 online course syllabi (N = 635 students) and found that these design categories explained variation in student performance.

English Online Course Development Model and Course Content Recommendation

The process of education informatization has been accelerated in the Internet era. English course teaching in colleges and universities also gradually follows the development of the times and makes efforts to promote the reform of informatization teaching. This paper gives the design and application strategy of the English course development model in China’s colleges and universities and designs a diversified teaching model. In addition, aiming at the unreasonable selection of teaching resources and learning materials, this paper designs a multidimensional course recommendation algorithm with integrated features. The proposed algorithm uses a deep learning model for data feature extraction and extracts the information of course attributes and review texts. Then an improved association rule algorithm is conceived to perform association clustering analysis on the original course categories to increase the coverage of recommendations. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed content recommendation algorithm can recommend high-quality course resources for English teachers, and its performance is better than other algorithms.

Perspectives on Open Educational Resources by University Students in Jiangxi Province of China: An Interview Analysis With UTAUT2 Model Framework

Open educational resources (OER) have become crucial for university students to explore as a shared digital resource. Although some accomplishments have been made in the research on OER adoption domestically and globally, there are three persistent limitations. It is limited from the perspective of university students, more focused on technology diffusion, university information system, digital library, high-quality course website, online learning, and mobile learning technology. Based on the grounded theory, this study took university students in Jiangxi province, China, as the research object to probe the phenomenon of adoption and use of OER. It preliminarily constructed the model of influencing the use of OERs by university students and initiated the application of the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) model in a new field. The findings show that perceived value, perceived risk, facilitation conditions, social influence, habit, and hedonic motivation directly influence willingness to use. While facilitating needs and desire to use directly influence user behavior. It provides a new research idea and reference basis for educational management researchers to carry out similar related research in the future.

Deep Learning-Based 3D Shape Feature Extraction on Flash Animation Style

Flash animation, as a kind of digital learning resource, is an important media for delivering information content, and more importantly, it is an important online learning resource with text, graphics, images, audio, video, interaction, dynamic effects, etc. Flash animation, with its powerful multimedia interaction and presentation capabilities, is widely used in distance education, high-quality course websites, Q&A platforms, etc. With the continuous development of deep learning, the 3D shape feature extraction method combined with deep learning has become a hot research topic. In this paper, we combine deep learning with traditional 3D shape feature extraction methods, so that we can not only break the bottleneck of nondeep learning methods but also improve the accuracy of 3D shape data classification and retrieval tasks, especially in the case of non-rigid 3D shapes. The scheme in this paper not only does not require a large number of training samples but also its feature extraction for flash animation is accurate. Experiments show that the success rate of accurate feature extraction of this paper’s scheme is higher than that of the state-of-the-art methods.

99 A Fresh Model in the Vehicles for Learning: Redesigning an Established, Traditional Airway Course to be Delivered in a Multi-Site Hybrid Format in the COVID-19 Era

The Royal College of Anaesthetists (RCOA) stipulates that anaesthetists should be able to use advanced/novel airway management techniques. The RCOA-accredited annual Challenging Airway Course in Northern Ireland is a staple of the calendar, providing an opportunity for all those involved in airway management to gain, refresh and replenish skills. Having already been cancelled in 2020 due to the pandemic, there was a strong appetite, particularly within the trainee body, that it should be staged in some form this year.The aim of the study was to deliver a high-quality course that outlined the theory behind airway management, without loss of the hands-on aspects of equipment/techniques, to a large candidate group in a COVID-19 safe environment.Alteration of the face-to-face course to run in a hybrid multi-site format with both online components and practical workstations.The course was delivered simultaneously in real time across the multiple deanery teaching hospitals. There was a central hub from which the course lead could synchronize timings/broadcast recorded material. As part of contingency plans for any unanticipated technical difficulties, lectures were pre-recorded and played for candidates on the day. These were punctuated with four practical workstations that mandated two delegates per station. Additionally, some content was recorded for viewing online as pre-course material and new simulation videos of a failed intubation drill and the subsequent debrief were also created. For some unable to attend site locations, a fully virtual experience was also an option. These modifications allowed us to: maximize attendance without breaching social distancing guidelines; retain the hands-on aspect of using equipment/techniques and also maintain an excellent faculty to candidate ratio to allow ample time for practising/asking questions. The pre-course material also empowered the candidates to feel better prepared for the day. Post-course anonymous feedback was completed by the vast majority of delegates and was overwhelmingly positive. Pre-course material, facilities, content, lectures, simulations and workshops were rated highly. The use of airway exchange catheters was mentioned as the introduction of a new skill for many delegates. Apart from one candidate, no one had attended any RCOA-accredited airway events in the preceding year but 100% of the candidates would recommend this course to their peers. Amidst challenging times, we successfully restyled an established and respected course. The novel hybrid multi-site format allowed a larger number of candidates to network face-to-face and gain knowledge/practical skills within a COVID-safe environment. Until such times as ‘normality’ and perhaps beyond, this may be a new formula for learning.

On quality assessment of electronic training course interfaces

The development of e-learning, both in distance and mixed forms, becomes especially relevant in the modern educational process. A high-quality e-learning course is developed through the efforts of two parties: the teacher, who creates the methodological content, and the programmer, who creates the electronic shell of the course. The article substantiates the importance of quality issues in the development of a user interface for electronic educational resources, since the user of an electronic course deals with the direct implementation of educational material. The indicators for assessing the quality of software products in accordance with international and Russian standards and their applicability for assessing user interfaces of electronic educational resources are analyzed. The conclusion is made about the importance of the indicator “practicality” in relation to this type of software product as an indicator of an individual evaluation of the use of a product by a certain user or circle of users. The classical methods for assessing the quality of the human-machine interaction interface and the applicability of experimental and formal methods for assessing quality are considered. The analysis of modern approaches to the design of user interfaces based on UX/UI design is given. An assessment of the requirements and criteria for assessing the user interface from the standpoint of modern design is given. The tasks and features of the UX and UI components of the design process are analyzed. The essence of the modern term “usability” as an indicator of the interface evaluation is explained, and the qualitative evaluation criteria for this indicator are considered. The concept of UX testing is given, the main stages of this process are considered. The importance of taking into account the subjective psychological factors of interface perception is substantiated. The indicators for assessing the quality of user interfaces, based on the cognitive factors of its perception by a person, are analyzed.

The dynamics of a MOOC's learner-learner interaction over time: A longitudinal network analysis

Interaction is a principle of high-quality course design in online learning. Previous research shows that interaction in Massive Open Online Courses is crucial for learner retention and course completion. Using panel network data of 386 MOOC learners, this study explored the mechanisms that drive learner-learner interaction over time, specifically, the patterns and evolution of learner-learner interaction in a MOOC through a stochastic-actor-oriented model. The results contradicted previous evidence that learners reciprocate open communication (i.e., replies) in discussion forums and tend to interact with those to whom their direct connections reply. The extent to which learners interact with others similar to themselves (i.e., homophily) was not a statistically significant predictor of learner-learner interaction over time. Popularity, as measured by open communication, suggested preferential attachment in MOOC learners. High levels of affective communication received (i.e., likes) reduced open communication over time. Implications for practice are discussed, and future research that analyzes the quality of open communication over time is recommended.
