We live in an increasingly data-driven world. This is strongly evident in the life sciences where high-throughput data generation platforms are transforming biology into information science. This has shifted major challenges in biological research from data generation to interpretation and knowledge translation.…

Women and non-white racial and ethnic groups remain underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). To achieve a more diverse and equitable STEM workforce, the recruitment and retention of these historically marginalized communities in postsecondary education will also need to increase. Recently…

4.1### Recommendations for module developers Based on this evaluation of the AVOID Frailty educational module and as shown in [fig5], four key recommendations are proposed for developers of eLearning educational modules: 1. Ensure educational modules are an appropriate length. In our evaluation, 20 min was identified…

—Undergraduate programs in science and engineering include at least one course in basic programming, but seldom presented in a contextualized format, where computing is a tool for thinking and learning in the discipline. We have created a series of learning modules to embed computing in engineering education, and share…

'Lukas Matthias Wolf'] In modular educational systems, students are allowed to choose a part of their curriculum themselves. The rationale behind letting students choose their courses themselves is to enhance self-responsibility, improve student motivation, and allow for focus on specific areas of interest. A central…

E ducational technology has attained significant importance as a mechanism for supporting experiential learning of science concepts. However, the growth of this mechanism is limited by the significant time and technical expertise needed to develop such products, particularly in specialized fields of science. We sought…

Background For an increasingly busy and geographically dispersed faculty, the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Southampton, United Kingdom, developed a range of Web-based faculty development modules, based on Kolb’s experiential learning cycle, to complement the faculty’s face-to-face workshops. Objective The…

New technologies in DNA synthesis and assembly give genetic engineers complete freedom in genetic design, where virtually any plasmid DNA sequence can be created efficiently and economically. Learning how to design, construct, and test new DNA sequences is a critical skill for researchers in molecular biology and…

- The current tendency of human learning and teaching is targeted to development and integration of digital technologies (like cloud solutions, mobile technology, learning analytics, big data, augmented reality, natural interaction technologies, etc.). Our Science Gateway (http://scigate.imp.kiev.ua) in collaboration…

We report on a five-year initiative that has prepared thousands of future STEM faculty around the world to adopt evidence-based instructional practices by participating in two massive open online courses (MOOCs) and facilitated in-person learning communities. This novel combination of asynchronous online and…

'L. Wolf'] - We present a category framework to classify educational systems according to their degree of modularity. - A graphical comparison is given that shows how different educational systems score on modularity according to our framework. - A scheduling perspective is provided where the challenges regarding…

Medical education increasingly involves online learning experiences to facilitate the standardization of curriculum across time and space. In class, delivering material by lecture is less effective at promoting student learning than engaging students in active learning experience and it is unclear whether this…

The ultimate aim of all higher education programs is to produce work-ready graduates who can enter a number of career paths. Bioscience graduates are well suited to a multitude of career paths such as research, education or industry. Designing an undergraduate bioscience program that can prepare learners for this…

Progress step by step: past achievements serving the accomplishment of present actions. It is a question of measuring the benefits of the efforts made by relying on the passage of time. Build on what has been achieved in order to define the forces from which the outcome of a strategy becomes possible.

Despite the promise of self-driving laboratories to accelerate discovery, their widespread implementation is hindered by prohibitive cost and technical complexity. We introduce BrickSDLab, a fully functional self-driving lab platform built entirely from LEGO® components, designed to bridge this accessibility gap.…

We assessed the efficacy of traditional lectures versus online modules with respect to student learning in an undergraduate introductory biochemistry course in two successive years. In the first year, students had the options of attending live lectures by the course instructor and viewing online modules pre-recorded by…

Computer quiz games are introduced to improve teaching and learning in a freshman engineering chemistry course in an English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) environment. These quiz games are developed and implemented as a supplemental and augmentative tool to enhance traditionally delivered lectures. The paper shows an…

The teaching-learning process in traditional university education uses strategies that position the student as a recipient of information conveyed by the teacher and conceptualized as knowledge. The reality in which we live, including the characteristics of new generational groups, requires the generation of training…
