Research on Microlecture Construction of Computer Teaching in Universities

With the advent of the era of big data, various education models adapted to informatization and modernization are emerging. Microlectures, as a new type of educational resource, are gradually being widely applied in the field of online education. This article introduces the characteristics and advantages of microlectures, and analyzes the issues that should be paid attention to in the construction of micro course resources, and proposes a construction plan. Taking the computer courses in universities as an example, an innovative teaching method based on microlecture technology is designed to build “micro” classrooms for university computer courses, ultimately improving teaching quality and efficiency. With the continuous development of technology, microlectures will play a more important role in future university teaching.

With the development of modern educational technology, micro courses, a new type of educational resource, have been continuously developed in school teaching in China. However, the problems encountered by teachers in creating micro lessons have hindered their application and practice. At the same time, students have put forward higher requirements for the presentation form of micro lessons during the learning process. Therefore, it is particularly important to find a more suitable micro lesson production tool for teachers to use and present results that can meet students’ needs (Yulong [1]). Freeze frame animation, as an art form emerging from film art, is easy to produce with low entry requirements, and can reduce the difficulty of micro course design by presenting static images in dynamic effects. Combining the characteristics of various subject knowledge points, use freeze frame animation to create micro lessons to help teachers create micro lessons.

Online Mathematics Education during the COVID-19 Pandemic: Didactic Strategies, Educational Resources, and Educational Contexts

One of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic has been restrictions on mobility and thus the closure of schools. This has had consequences on the teaching strategies of primary mathematics educators who were not familiar with online education. Most schools in Chile have adopted virtual and hybrid classes to continue educational processes. From a quantitative approach with a sample of n = 105 primary school educators and through an online survey, we analyzed how educators implemented the mathematics curriculum during the pandemic using various didactic strategies and educational resources, as well as their respective contexts. The results show that there is a relationship between the level of technical knowledge of teachers, the years of experience, and the types of teaching strategies they use. Likewise, differences were found between educators in rural and urban sectors according to the use of teaching strategies and the types of educational resources used. Regarding the didactic strategies, it is shown that the emerging strategies most used are metaphorical and analogical, whereas in traditional strategies the automation of procedures is imposed. The implications for practice include suggestions and guidelines for improving the training and professional development of mathematics teachers including increasing and strengthening the number and quality of teachers’ didactic strategies and online pedagogical management skills and promoting metacognition through virtual forums. Finally, we discuss the context of the use of didactic strategies in mathematics during the pandemic, analyzing its challenges and opportunities.

991 COMPREHENSIVE GERIATRIC ASSESSMENT FOR BEGINNERS: AN EDUCATIONAL TOOL TO AID THE IDENTIFICATION OF FRAIL PATIENTS & IMPROVE CARE

Abstract Introduction COVID-19 heavily impacted the way in which medical education was and is delivered due to social distancing and concerns over safety. E learning is an increasingly important tool to use in being able to continue to educate our current and future doctors but there are significant gaps in the market with tools aimed at educating healthcare professionals regarding issues that affect the older person. This project aimed to compare 3 different learning tools to establish the minimum acceptable requirements for trainees to improve self-perceived competence in the assessment of an older person. Method Mixed method study comparing three types of educational resources in Comprehensive Geriatric assessment: low fidelity and high-fidelity e-learning modules and in person training. How do the interventions improve trainee’s confidence and knowledge of the CGA? Results Total number of participants n = 23. 39% had previously had some teaching on CGA and 61% had not. All three education interventions were well received by trainees and helped to increase their self perceived confidence in the assessment of an elderly patient and recognising signs of frailty in a patient presenting to the acute medical take. 83% of trainees would recommend the in person session, 100% would recommend both the high fidelity e-learning module and low fidelity e-learning modules. Conclusion This project showed that there are still significant gaps in the education of junior doctors regarding matters specific to an elderly population and there are limited electronic educational resources that aim to tackle this problem. The study showed the unilaterally trainees preferred the high-fidelity e-learning module to improve their confidence but still appreciated in person teaching where able due to increased enjoyment. As a result this high-fidelity module has been adapted for all healthcare staff and has been incorporated onto the trust’s online learning platform and has been received well.

Construction of College Educational Video Resources Application Platform

In many schools, video resources are not well developed to application; there is a need for improvement in many areas. Video of educational resources as a result of intuitive and habitability characteristics, is able to reappear the behavior of the process, and it is important to learn self‐imitation for the students, other types of educational resources cannot be compared with this feature. Universities can rely on specialized teachers to set up a working group to integrate video educational resources, to collect, filter, and sort out the video teaching resources through the network one by one corresponding to the educational theme, establish a repository platform for video educational resources with appropriate hyperlink to quick and easy access for students and improve learning efficiency. The construction of video educational resources platform is a key for educational resources applications, mainly includes video database management, platform construction, and video data query downloads, video segments processing and playback software construction.

Administrator Insights, Evaluation, and Support of New Teacher Use of Educational Technology

Since the advent of educational technology educators have been faced with the challenge of transforming instruction with the goal of providing significant experiences that match 21 st century learner needs. While training and professional development have been offered to help prepare teachers, research suggests the continued existence of a digital divide even among new teachers who move from the pre-service stage into the classroom. This is a cause for concern. The question is what are administrators’ thoughts on this issue and what types of educational resources and support are provided to help new teachers in order to help them feel more ready to integrate technology in their teaching when they enter into school employment? The purpose of this qualitative study is to explore principals’ insights on new teacher preparedness to integrate technology and examine the ways in which schools are providing support to help novice instructors meet the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) National Educational Technology Standards (NETS) and Performance Indicators for Teachers. The results of this study have implications for the training of teachers, and the development and implementation of school and district-wide technology initiatives that promote and support teacher use of educational technology in teaching and learning.

TOWARDS AN OPEN LESSON PLAN DATA MODEL

This paper introduces some ideas towards the definition of a data model for open lesson plans. Lesson plans are a particular kind of aggregation resource that can include other types of educational resources, particularly learning objects. From this point of view, we consider on the data model available specifications in the learning domain, such as the Learning Object Metadata standard. This Open Lesson Plan proposal is performed in the context of a Web 2.X application, Edu-AREA, aimed at supporting teaching and teaching innovation. This application enables users to manage open lesson plans as living entities during their life-cycle: from their design, till their documentation with learning results and outcomes, passing through their use during the teaching/learning activity. In Edu- AREA users can share their lesson plans and they can be copied, adapted and “curated” by other users. Based on the principles of the Open Educational Resources movement, open lesson plans are proposed as an opportunity for sharing and collaboration among users.

The Application of Web Mining in Distance Education Platform

In order to overcome these shortcomings and use a large number of data in these remote teaching sites effectively, it is necessary for the introduction of data mining technology to the modern remote education system. The paper introduced distance education system based on Web mining, and how data mining of these distance education website.Modern distance education is the common trend of the development of education in the world. With the development and application of satellite and cable TV, as well as a variety of electronic communications technology, especially with the advancement of the global computer network and multimedia technology, many universities have established distance education platforms. Because of a large number of students, we are relative lack of educational resources nowadays. For this reason, our country is actively developing modern distance education and integrating the various types of educational resources by advanced information technology and educational technology.

E-health: A Health Promotion Tool for Brazilian Amazon Region

ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to describe the e-health activities of Project USP in Rondônia to promote health into the Amazonian Brazilian State Rondônia in different types of educational resources. Methods Population of Monte Negro county was reached by the e-health promotion activities including tele-education for community health workers, teachers and local health professionals with the videoconferencing, CD-ROM development and Cybertutor technologies. The population reached was calculated by the reach of these professionals into their daily activities. Results The e-health activities held by Project USP in Rondônia are reaching local stakeholders to expand the spread of health knowledge within a region with severe difficulties of access to information and health care. These stakeholders, mainly working locally in the educational and auxiliary health professions, are seizing their opportunity to provoke autonomy in the population they work with, disseminating information among children in public schools and health care, possibly reaching more than 1,380 families. Conclusion E-health activities showed to be important tool for health promotion to Amazonian communities. People living in regions with difficult access to many social needs, such as riverside communities, must be respected as citizens and thus their right to health must be ensured, which is provided in the Brazilian constitution, and it should be promoted through education, prevention and adequate health services.

“Pearls”: A New Type of Open-Access Educational Resource

Over the past three years, PLoS Pathogens has become a definitive choice of the wider pathogens research community as a place to publish its best work in the field of microbial pathogenesis. True to our vision, we have freely distributed, worldwide, outstanding original articles that significantly advance the understanding of pathogens and how they interact with their host organisms, and it is our goal to continue to do so. As part of our development, we have decided to expand the content of the journal. Building on the strength of the Opinions and Reviews, which, like our research articles, are well read and well received by the community, we are pleased to introduce Pearls. Scientific research, like anything else, is subject to “irrational exuberance.” Fashion, fads, and hypes arrive, have their moment, and disappear from view. In the face of this inevitable ebb and flow of focus and attention, how are we to teach students the “lessons that last” or “the facts of a field” while keeping current? Likewise, how can we teach such lessons in the face of the sheer volume of research that is being published in hundreds of journals? The need is particularly acute in the area of pathogens research as it covers diverse agents—from prions to arthropods—and approaches—from population genetics to X-ray crystallography. Ostensibly, textbooks serve such a purpose, but such volumes are costly to produce and purchase and require near-constant revision. The standard “mini-review” piece tends to focus on making research recently published more accessible, but these can be too narrow or superficial to live much beyond the moment. The vision of Pearls is different. Our goal is to produce a substantial collection of short (1,500 words maximum) educational and highly useful articles that address topics of relevance and importance within the field of pathogens research. We aim to have each Pearl cover a given topic in a way that makes its significance clear and compelling to a general readership while offering accessible and accurate insight at a graduate student–level. Intentionally, Pearls will be short, limiting the inclusion of details for their own sake to ensure readability and a sharp focus on the fundamentals. Topics will be digested into two formats; the first is the “five important facts about X” (FIFAX) format and the second is a question and answer (Q&A). Some topics are likely to be better addressed by one or the other and authors will decide whether FIFAX or Q&A works better for a given topic. Creating this new type of educational resource in PLoS Pathogens could not succeed without the enthusiasm and participation (translation: willingness to contribute!) of the scientific community. The response to our invitations to contribute Pearls has been overwhelmingly positive. Numerous experts are preparing these teaching tools, which will be available in the months to come. In this issue, the Pearl is “Virus and Host Determinants of West Nile Virus Pathogenesis” by Michael S. Diamond, which offers a lucid and succinct view of how a virus that entered North America recently avoids elimination by the immune system. This contribution also illustrates mechanistic aspects of the host–pathogen interaction that need to be understood more fully to make possible effective therapeutic strategies for combating an infectious agent capable of serious harm. Already a leading open-access publisher of new research results, comprehensive reviews, and insightful commentaries in the pathogens community, PLoS Pathogens now strives to lead in developing a different kind of scientific writing that, when practically applied, will serve the scientific community in a new way—one that we envision will continually educate as we learn from the front lines of research.
