Some students were slow in completing the lab tasks possibly due to a lack of preparation and familiarity with the hardware. Nonetheless, we received good student feedback about the lab activities.","PeriodicalId":369501,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Conference on Teaching, Assessment and Learning for Engineering (TALE)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131207560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper uses mobile AR technology to present an alternative teaching and learning design in nursing education. An experimental case study was completed in a revision preparation for pre-registration students for their final Bachelor’s and their State Registration Examinations. The revision sessions have been standard and classroom based for many years, and the HoloPatient applications was introduced as part of the revision process in June 2022, to prove a hybrid teaching method i.e., based on classroom teaching with HoloPatient applications remotely externs to students from their mobile phones. This case study approached a teaching platform to enable students to study synchronously in the classroom and at home. Such a design has a strong market demand in the covid-19 environment, when teaching face to face became problematic. Students faced technical problems due to a lack of face-to-face tutorials, lack of online platforms resources/ essential equipment, and continuity of classes. Indeed AR can be a useful solution for this problem. This case study has resulted in a recommendation for further development of Mobile AR in Nursing Education e.g. simplifying the Hololens headset configuration and stabilizing smart phone connection to build a user-friendly hybrid teaching platform.","PeriodicalId":369501,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Conference on Teaching, Assessment and Learning for Engineering (TALE)","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133634304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, relatively little is known about the research profiles of CE researchers: whether they tend to publish more educational or non-educational papers and when during their career they tend to commence CE research. Using a scientometric approach and data from Scopus, 189 CE authors from Australia were identified who had published in the field between 2018 and 2021. Their research publication history was then retrieved, and each publication was classified as educational or non-educational using a computer aided approach. It was found that CE researchers have diverse research profiles; well established researchers tended to have fewer educational papers, new researchers tend to have more educational papers, and that it is becoming more common to start a research career doing CE research. This has implications for how the research field may be viewed by university computing departments.","PeriodicalId":369501,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Conference on Teaching, Assessment and Learning for Engineering (TALE)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134477423","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we present our initial work on using emotion, and eye and head movement to detect online student behavior. In particular, we study how these methods can be used to detect five common classroom behaviors: reading slides, writing notes, thinking, checking phones, and engaging in classroom activities, through test cases with the aim of identifying key characteristics. By using the aforementioned methods collectively, more accurate detection results can be achieved. The findings (e.g., key characteristics) should provide valuable insights into understanding online student behavior, and future machine learning work in particular.","PeriodicalId":369501,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Conference on Teaching, Assessment and Learning for Engineering (TALE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133216152","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The solution uses an end-to-end approach that estimates average attention scores based on head pose features. Then, this aggregated data can be used to improve teacher efficacy.
