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 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…
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…
Since the 1920s, student feedback has been used to evaluate student satisfaction in the college classroom setting. Later in the 1930s and 1940s, feedback questionnaires were introduced to high school students, and in the 1980s, their use became relatively standardized in college…
This dissertation studies political representation in democratic and autocratic regimes. It asks two questions: first, how can citizens influence politics in some of the least democratic regimes? Second, how do citizens form their expectations of political representation followi…
Within LCDM, galaxies are regulated by both large-scale processes such as mergers, tidal torques and smooth accretion via filaments, as well as by small-scale processes such as star formation and feedback. These mechanisms leave characteristic signatures imprinted in the stellar…
The purpose of this thesis is to examine which data captured by experiential learning technology can be used to understand more about students’ perspectives, mindsets and skills. The objective is to examine how technology-enabled real-time analysis of learner data can be used by…
Inadequate funding, the shifting baseline syndrome phenomena, and the prescribe and protect approach to conservation collectively hinders ecosystem function. Rewilding offers an alternative solution without the same limitations. While it is documented that large-scale rewilding …
"Government budgeting." There is little in the phrase to arouse the passions or inspire excitement. And yet, beneath what sociologists have tended to regard as a relatively unremarkable set of bureaucratic procedures, one finds a history full of contingency and heated contestati…
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 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…
