Video games are increasingly becoming a part of people’s daily lives. More importantly, digital games have been increasingly built as products that challenge the player morally and ethically. Video games do not only demonstrate their moral and ethical influence, they also influe…
Problem: The fact that evangelism in the Unorganized Territories of the Chinese Union Mission was done mainly as personal evangelism and that public evangelism was limited to a one-day seed sowing meeting had led to a serious need for equipping pastors in effective public evange…
Calls to transform introductory college physics courses to include scientific practices require assessments that can measure the extent to which these transformations are effective. Such assessments should be able to measure students' abilities to intertwine important concepts w…
Multimedia applications incorporate the use of more than one type of media, i.e., voice, video, data, text and image. With the advances in high-speed communication, the ability to transmit multimedia is becoming widely available. One of the means of transport for multimedia in d…
The heavily distorting channels limit the use of linear equalizers and the use of the nonlinear equalizers becomes admissible. Most nonlinear equalizers, e.g. Voltera type, are usually too complicated to meet real-time processing demands. Neural networks-based equalizers, especi…
This book addresses the challenge of developing effective feedback processes in higher education, combining theory and practice to equip and empower educators. Including discussions on promoting student engagement with feedback, technology-enabled feedback, and effective peer fe…

Feedback is one of the most powerful influences on student achievement, yet it is difficult to implement productively within the constraints of a mass higher education system. Designing Effective Feedback Processes in Higher Education: A Learning-Focused Approach addresses the c…
There is a large demand for the use of e-learning tools to support student learning, in the form of distance or blended learning. The need for e-learning environment that encourages learners to learn independently or in groups in virtual settings is crucial. Some e-learning envi…
This thesis documents the use of Natural Language Processing (NLP) in Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) and its contribution to the learning experience of students studying Arabic as a foreign language. The goal of this project is to build an Intelligent Computer Assist…
This thesis offers a holistic insight into the expectations and experiences of university students in relation to academic feedback. The subjects are a diverse group of first year accounting and finance students in a post-92 university. What is identified and examined here is th…
This thesis investigates the process of decision-making in relation to complex tasks and considers the important role which dynamic information and real-time feedback play in shaping response behaviour and adaptation within such environments. Through empirical studies, the thesi…
Proteins are large biological molecules that perform a vast array of functions within living organisms. Proteins are made from a process called translation, in which a ribosome decodes mRNA, a single-stranded copy of DNA, to produce a specific amino acid chain. Given the essenti…
Emotional intelligence (EI) and transformational leadership (TFL) are widely researched topics in organisational behaviour studies, both amongst themselves and in relation to outcomes at work. Several studies appear to have substantiated the link between EI and TFL. However, the…
The UK Government invests billions of pounds annually in infrastructure projects to support more effective public service provision. However, numerous major projects have failed to meet expectations, or have delivered only with significant budget increases and extensions to proj…
I conducted a case study of how a senior university professor presented course content and assessed 2 sets of essays and 2 sets of in-class tests in an undergraduate Sinology course. The study involved the participating professor and 12 students who allowed me to photocopy their…
Part of the Latin Project1 , the current study investigates the relationship between individual differences (Level of Bilingualism) and pedagogical conditions (Types of Feedback) as it affects L3 development. The design includes working memory (WM) capacity and learning strategi…
Wireless communications are becoming more and more popular nowadays. Cell phones, wifi and other wireless communication methods seem to be in every corner of people's daily life. The use of the wireless communications is becoming more diverse than before. Instead of simply talki…
