The document summarizes a study on introducing an online teaching and learning system at Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM) to replace the traditional classroom system. A survey was conducted of 51 UTeM students. The results found that 59% of respondents were not satisfied with the current classroom system. Most respondents felt the classroom environment was uncomfortable and classrooms were insufficient. Additionally, 55% did not often ask lecturers questions due to shyness. The study concluded the current system fails to engage students, while an online system could provide flexibility and be less stressful. The goal is to improve teaching methods to enhance student understanding and performance.
1) The document discusses how new communication and information technologies can be used to support the Seven Principles of Good Practice in Undergraduate Education. It provides examples of how technologies like email, computer conferencing, and simulations can encourage student-faculty interaction, cooperation among students, and active learning.
2) It argues that technologies are tools that should be used in ways consistent with established best practices in education, rather than assuming they will automatically improve learning. Proper implementation requires support from students, faculty, and administrators.
3) Assessing whether specific technologies actually promote the Seven Principles requires evaluation methods like those developed by the Flashlight Project. Technology alone is not enough - teaching and policies must also align with effective practices
Designing e-Learning in Higher Education: Practice CasesCITE
5 March 2010 (Friday) | 11:00 - 12:30 | http://citers2010.cite.hku.hk/abstract/72 | Dr. Diane SALTER, Associate Professor, Centre for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning, HKU
Classroom response systems, also known as clickers, are small remote control-like devices that allow students to anonymously answer multiple-choice questions posed by the instructor during class. Each student has a clicker to transmit their response, which the instructor can then view the aggregate results. The purpose of clickers is to promote active learning and assess student understanding of new concepts. Studies show that clickers increase student engagement and participation. However, effective use of clickers also presents challenges such as taking class time and requiring instructors to write high-quality multiple choice questions.
The document summarizes a study assessing the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) called Classfronter at Agder University College in Norway. The study found that Classfronter provided some pedagogical benefits, including allowing students to access lecture presentations before class and providing a permanent storage for learning resources. However, the study also identified several factors that limited Classfronter's effective use, such as technical issues, lack of training, and cultural factors. The conclusions recommend that higher learning institutions clearly define objectives for VLE use, integrate technologies, and consider learning contexts and cultural values when implementing virtual learning environments.

Problem-based learning is a structured, student-led process that begins with a problem as the starting point for learning. It involves students reading a problem aloud, describing the essence of the problem in a few sentences or a title. Students then brainstorm anything potentially relevant to the problem and systematically organize these ideas thematically. Finally, students identify learning outcomes phrased as researchable questions based on the issues organized in the previous stage.

The document discusses several key issues regarding the use of expert testimony in court:
1) What constitutes expertise and how is it defined in a legal context? Experts must provide objective, unbiased opinions within their expertise but cases show expert opinions can differ substantially.
2) How are expert opinions formed and evaluated, and what factors influence this? Expert opinions are not always robust and transparent, potentially misleading juries.
3) How can expert opinions best be communicated to juries to aid their understanding of complex scientific or technical issues? Effective communication is important as juries must consider expert testimony along with other evidence.

The document discusses how university websites present information about law programs and legal education. It notes that websites often show what universities want students to know rather than the information students want. It also discusses how websites could be improved by providing more consistent and navigable information across institutions, including criteria like teaching hours, assessments, employment outcomes, facilities, and fees. The document concludes that while law program websites have improved with more professional and visual content since 2004, information is still often fragmented and not always up-to-date.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
