Educational Assessment
This book explores how well-designed assessments can reshape education. Grounded in research by practitioners, it emphasizes a practical, learner-centered approach to improve student learning, teacher practices, and parental engagement.
The central challenge for educational neuroscience is using brain research to improve teaching and learning. Learning occurs through changes in the connections between neurons, a process optimized when ideas are considered from a multidimensional approach.
iPads in Higher Education
This book will be useful to academics in any discipline interested in using iPads in teaching and learning, irrespective of the scale of implementation. The contributions cover a wide range of academic areas, from Urban Planning and Biology to Art and Design.
Does interactivity enhance e-Learning? While often claimed, little scientific evidence exists. This book provides proof, presenting three empirical studies on the impact of interactive feedback on learners, teachers, and the environment.
