Challenges and opportunities of multimodal data in human learning: The computer science students' perspective

Multimodal data have the potential to explore emerging learning practices that extend human cognitive capacities. A critical issue stretching in many multimodal learning analytics (MLA) systems and studies is the current focus aimed at supporting researchers to model learner behaviours, rather than directly supporting learners. Moreover, many MLA systems are designed and deployed without learners' involvement. We argue that in order to create MLA interfaces that directly support learning, we need to gain an expanded understanding of how multimodal data can support learners' authentic needs. We present a qualitative study in which 40 computer science students were tracked in an authentic learning activity using wearable and static sensors. Our findings outline learners' curated representations about multimodal data and the non-technical challenges in using these data in their learning practice. The paper discusses 10 dimensions that can serve as guidelines for researchers and designers to create effective and ethically aware student-facing MLA innovations.     

Promoting the integration of technology in teaching: An analysis of the factors that increase the intention to use technologies among Italian teachers

Background: The rapid spread of COVID-19 forced many countries to adopt severe containment measures, transferring all didactic activities into virtual environments. However, the integration of technology in teaching may present difficulties, especially in some countries, such as Italy. Objectives: The present study analyzed how the two main factors of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), namely perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use, combined with online teaching self-efficacy, were associated with the intention to use technology to teach. We posited a moderated moderation model in which perceived usefulness represented the main predictor, with self-efficacy and perceived ease of use as moderators of intention to use technology to teach. Method: The model was tested through multiple regressions, using the PROCESS macro on SPSS 26 with a sample of 178 upper secondary school teachers in Italy. Results and conclusions: Regressions showed that each variable significantly predicted the intention to use technology. In addition, a moderation effect of self-efficacy on the perceived usefulness of using technology was found for medium and high-level of perceived ease of use of technology. Implications: The present study provides targeted implications for distance education policy and practice to promote its adoption (or the blended modality) in Italian upper schools.

Development of a dual‐lamp projector with higher brightness

Stationary projectors mainly used in system applications have recently gained a wider application range, including general presentations in halls and large conference rooms and being used, for example, in digital signage and for monitoring purposes. Consequently, they are required to meet new market demands for durability, reliability, and flexibility in installation in addition to their conventional basic performance such as especially high brightness. To achieve especially high brightness, a new optical system with two lamps is proposed; the profile of the cover glass that prevents the glass from scattering is made aspherical, the profile of the beam‐combining mirror is improved with its position optimized, and the size of the incident plane of the integrator rod is made larger (1.1 times). These measures resulted in an optical system of an even higher efficiency with 7000 lm, which is the highest in its class (according to a June 2010 investigation). Also, the arrangement of two parallel lamps completely eliminated the effect of heat passing from one lamp to the other, which helped secure durability, reliability, and flexibility in installation. Furthermore, the combined use of the unique non‐telecentric optical system, adopted from the conventional single‐lamp model, helps maintain the class‐highest contrast ratio.^1,2     

浅谈中等职业学校计算机基础教学

当今社会对中职学校毕业生的计算机应用能力要求越来越高,计算机技术水平的高低以及计算机应用能力的强弱,已经成为今天衡量中职学校毕业生质量和水平的重要尺度之一。而目前计算机基础教学存在教学内容过分单一、教学手段落后等弊端,为了解决这些问题,汲取多年计算机基础教学的实践经验,针对新形式下计算机基础课程的课程体系、教学内容和教学方法的改革进行了探讨。

政府与大学关系的历史考察及启示

正确把握政府和大学的关系一方面有助于我们正确理解政府的高等教育政策，另一方面也有助于大学办学自主权的真正落实以及现代大学制度的逐渐形成，这对于我国高等教育发展而言无疑是具有现实意义的课题之一。本文在已有研究的基础上，转换研究视角，以政府与大学之间存在的利益关系为研究线索，发现并提出自大学产生以来政府与大学之间的四种关系形态：无共同利益期、国家利益主导期、大学利益主导期以及利益共生期。文中最后还对如何认识和理解当今我国政府与大学关系进行了讨论。     

“三全育人” 格局下高校辅导员队伍角色定位与转型论析

高校围绕立德树人根本使命,正在积极构建全员全过程全方位育人格局。在此形势下,作为高校思政工作一线骨干力量的辅导员队伍面临新的角色转型,找准自己在高校"大思政"中的新定位,要成为全员育人的骨干力量,做思想政治教育和管理工作的组织者与育人资源的协调者;要成为全过程育人的融通力量,做学生全面成长的指导者与持续发展的推动者;要成为全方位育人的串联力量,做"十大"育人体系落地的终端实施者与成效评估者。在三全育人的新格局下,辅导员队伍要与校内外育人队伍一起,协同攻关、形成合力,共同推进一体化育人机制。
