Students' perceptions of online learning: implications for teaching.

Nurse Educ

Ball State University School of Nursing, 2000 University Avenue, Muncie, IN 47306, USA.

Published: July 2004

Using the Internet to deliver nursing courses via distance education can facilitate learning on demand and promote learner-centered instruction. The authors describe 20 graduate nursing students' experiences with online learning. Students learn through reflection, exploration, use of critical thinking, interacting with others, sharing of information, and using resources. Key points of students' experiences with online learning were consistent with the Constructivism Theory. Implications for improving teaching are based upon the Constructivism Theory and include strategies for identifying learning goals and conditions for learning, as well as planning and implementing various methods of instruction.

This study explored the relationship between floating toes and athletic performance among collegiate track and field athletes. A total of 422 athletes (sprinters, jumpers, and distance runners) and 136 controls participated in this study. Plantar surface images were captured using a specially designed foot scanner during standing to calculate the floating toe score.

Recent research has integrated positive psychology with the Second Language Motivational Self System (L2MMS) to explore how enjoyment, L2 self-guides (including ideal L2 self and ought-to L2 self), and engagement interact among school-aged second-language (L2) learners. However, there is a significant gap in understanding these dynamics among adult learners, particularly those who primarily learn a second language online-a group that has been largely overlooked. To address this gap, our study examined the underlying mechanisms connecting these constructs.

Motivation: In silico functional annotation of proteins is crucial to narrowing the sequencing-accelerated gap in our understanding of protein activities. Numerous function annotation methods exist, and their ranks have been growing, particularly so with the recent deep learning-based developments. However, it is unclear if these tools are truly predictive.

Vistla: identifying influence paths with information theory.

Bioinformatics

January 2025

Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modelling, University of Warsaw, Warsaw, 02-106, Poland.

Motivation: It is a challenging task to decipher the mechanisms of a complex system from observational data; especially in biology, where systems are sophisticated, measurements coarse and multi-modality is a common trait. The typical approaches of inferring a network of relationships between system's components struggle with the quality and feasibility of estimation, as well as with the interpretability of the results they yield.Said issues can be avoided, however, when dealing with a simpler problem of tracking only the influence paths, defined as circuits relying the information of an experimental perturbation as it spreads through the system.
