A first grade student is trying to read a passage on her iPad. A digital avatar Amira, clad in olive green, is listening. Her face isn’t particularly demonstrative, but she’s trying her best with emphatic pats-on-the-back when the student gets something right. When the reader skips a word, or mispronounces it, Amira displays the kind of dispassionate instruction that only artificially created avatars can.

When Shai Reshef started a free online university called University of the People nearly 15 years ago, skepticism was high. Online education was viewed as a poor substitute for in-person study, and anyway, how could something free be financially sustainable? Today, the college has won accreditation. It has grown to serve 126,000 students. And it has some 37,000 volunteers.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

STEM Education Works

MARCH 7, 2023

STEM is one prominent area in education where there is a significant equity gap among students. This occurs because many students, particularly those from low-income families, aren’t equipped with the opportunities to learn the necessary skills to enter STEM careers upon graduation. This ultimately creates a lack of diversity in STEM fields. As a result, it is important to ensure all students receive meaningful learning experiences.

I recently bought floam for my nephews as a gift, and they LOVED it! You can play with it for hours, making creations. The best part – it’s nowhere near as messy as playdough! It got me thinking… I’m pretty sure I can make this! After several at-home science experiments and combinations, I figured out the perfect recipe for a nice tennis-ball size of homemade floam.

I love teaching fingerprinting in my Forensics course, but students sometimes struggle when it comes to identifying minutiae patterns. Fingerprints can be difficult to analyze on paper, so I have started using this fingerprint balloon activity to help my students identify minutiae patterns. Essentially, students enlarge their fingerprint on a balloon and VIOLA!

There’s a lot of debate on the sciences versus the arts and STEM vs humanities. The debate about the superiority of one over another dates back to centuries and remains often polarized and heated in today’s era, in conversations among friends and professional environments. In every sense of the word, humanities define the study of human culture or how people comprehend and express human experience.

As the software development cycle gets faster and more automated, the demand for low-code and no-code development platforms is growing. These platforms let users with little or no coding experience create applications, which speeds up development and deployment. Platforms now allow both programmers and non-programmers to build applications in a drag-and-drop fashion.

How can we measure gases dissolved in seawater? Published: Nitrous oxide (N 2 O) is a greenhouse gas that is 300 times more powerful than carbon dioxide. The ocean is a significant source of N 2 O, but there is currently no easy way to measure how much N 2 O is dissolved in and released from seawater. At the University of Washington in the US, Dr Anuscheh Nawaz and her team are developing a technique to measure the concentration of dissolved N 2 O in our oceans directly and more efficiently.

“Have you tried ChatGPT?” – a question that’s popped up in a lot of my recent conversations – not only professional ones but among friends and family too. It’s safe to say that ChatGPT is the new buzzword for 2023. To oversimplify, ChatGPT is an advanced AI tool that lets you search the internet using voice or whole sentences. The results are given back to the searcher in comprehensive, in-depth sentences rather than the Google Search results we’ve been accustomed to.
