The Role of Moodle Software among Medical Students During Distance Learning

The study of the role of Moodle software among medical students is relevant, as distance learning is now new in terms of learning, processing, and teaching educational material online. The representation of new (latest) informative data using Moodle during distance learning contributes to and increases the level of students' knowledge. Moodle software is a valuable resource that presents an archive of educational (scientific) materials to students and teachers with unlimited access. The study is aimed at determining the role of Moodle for medical students during distance learning based on a theoretical review of the literature. Three stages of methodological justification were proposed as the basis for this study. At the first stage of the study, Moodle software was characterised; during the second – the role of distance learning was defined; third – the quality of medical students' training during distance learning through the use of innovative technologies, namely Moodle, was assessed. The study substantiates the significant role of Moodle and distance learning: understanding the goals of learning, gaining a significant “baggage” of knowledge, the latest information and access to resources, self-learning, self-improvement, and development of a “doctor” personality. The expediency of using the software among medical students is proved, taking into account the structure, logic, constant updating of materials, direct assessment of the student using test tasks and practical classes. Using Moodle software during distance learning, a medical student independently and consciously focuses on pathology based on the acquired knowledge, clearly and reasonably makes a preliminary conclusion (diagnosis) with subsequent appropriate treatment. The combined use of Moodle software and highly qualified teachers improve the quality of education and guide the medical student to focus on the study material and improve one’s practical skills with the presented materials and visual aids

The Online Studio Problem: Assessing the Role of Distance Learning in Design Pedagogy

<p>The role of online instruction in architectural education has been cause for much recent debate. Lecture-based online courses, where one instructor presents to an unlimited number of recipients, translate better to online delivery and have been more favorably received. However, teaching design studios with this new technology has been cause for much more hand wringing. The advent of new technology in any field is often met with a mix of heightened expectations and cautious trepidation so a similar reaction to online technology is not surprising. The strength of the studio methodology has long been based on its immediacy of face-to-face interaction between teacher and pupil, as well as the camaraderie and community of a shared experience; assets harder to translate over distance. Based on research of the handful of architecture programs currently teaching studio courses with this method, I have summarized the results into common benefits and challenges with which we can evaluate the problem to understand which initial concerns are still valid and which may be unfounded.</p>

Environmental education in distance learning in Environmental Engineering at Federal University of São Carlos, Brazil: potentialities and limitations towards a critical techno-scientific education

Incorporating Environmental Education (EE) in Higher Education Institutions syllabi has been a great challenge for educators. Despite of its importance and the diversity of didactic approaches to build sustainability knowledge and skills in Higher Education, there is a lack in the literature related to the role of Distance Learning (DL) in this process, especially in engineering programs. In this context, the article presents a case study aiming at analising the potential of an EE module to promote critical educational processes in environmental engineering undergraduate course via DL at Federal University of Sao Carlos (UFSCar), Sao Paulo state, Brazil. More specifically, the potentialities and limitations of a module in the formative processes of environmental engineers have been analysed, taking into account their views about sustainability and EE concepts based on the Critical Theory. The methodology of this case study research consisted of the analysis content, employing the assessment activities of the students along and at the end of the module, as well as the application of their concepts in a social-educational intervention project. The results pointed out that even though a single module may not be considered responsible for a complete critical EE, there are significant contributions of such DL approach for the understanding of environmental engineering as an ample, critical and participative process by the students of the undergraduate course, specially to enable insights on the deepest causes of the socio-environmental crisis and on the complexity which involves the proposals to change such reality.
