Digital technologies are now an integral aspect of the university student experience. As such, academic research has understandably focused on potential various digital to enable, extend and even 'enhance' learning. This paper offers alternate perspective these issues by exploring students' actual experiences technology during their studies – highlighting aspects use that students themselves see as particularly helpful and/or useful. Drawing a survey 1658 undergraduate students, identifies...
Endotoxin concentrations were measured in the portal, hepatic and peripheral venous blood of two groups patients with cirrhosis using a limulus-based chromogenic assay. The high sensitivity detection allowed measurement endotoxin as low 10 to 15 pg per ml, an order magnitude greater than previously possible by gelation studies. Group 1 consisted 56 undergoing angiographic evaluation. In this group, there was wide variability concentration [ 73 ± 110 ml (mean S.D.)] [31 58 ml]. However,...
Since the early 2010s literature has shifted to view feedback as a process that students do where they make sense of information about work have done, and use it improve quality their subsequent work. In this view, effective needs demonstrate effects. However, is unclear if educators share understanding feedback. This paper reports qualitative investigation what think purpose is, makes effective. We administered survey on was completed by 406 staff 4514 from two Australian universities....
There is an increasing focus on notions of feedback in which students are positioned as active players rather than recipients information. These discussions have been either conceptual character or empirical designs to support learners processes. has little emphasis learners’ perspectives on, and experiences of, the role they play such processes what need order benefit from feedback. This study therefore seeks identify characteristics literacy – that is, how understand can utilise for their...
Assessment feedback is one of the most important components learning process. However, student and educator dissatisfaction with practices continues to remain a significant problem in higher education. To better understand barriers effective feedback, present study explores challenges identified by 3807 students 281 educators from two Australian universities. Open-response data were analysed using an inductively derived coding framework thematic analysis. The findings reveal three major...
Despite an increasing focus on assessment feedback, educators continue to find that simply replicating effective feedback practice from one context does not guarantee success in the next. There is a growing recognition contextual factors surrounding successful practices need be considered. This article reports large-scale mixed methods project and proposes 12 conditions enable higher education. The were distilled seven rich case studies through multiple stages of thematic analysis,...
Abstract The second plague pandemic, caused by Yersinia pestis , devastated Europe and the nearby regions between 14 th 18 centuries AD. Here we analyse human remains from ten European archaeological sites spanning this period reconstruct 34 ancient Y. genomes. Our data support an initial entry of bacterium through eastern Europe, absence genetic diversity during Black Death, low within-outbreak thereafter. Analysis post-Black Death genomes shows diversification a lineage into multiple...
Despite massive funding from the Australian government, literacy achievement of Indigenous children remains significantly lower than for non-Indigenous. With aim identifying innovative ways to improve children's achievement, this study explored social practices surrounding everyday mobile phone use by people in a remote community. Informed notion ‘placed resources’, which highlights understanding that digital literacies are best considered as resources situated have local effect, surveyed 95...
The much-discussed potential of 'technology-enhanced learning' is not always apparent in the day-to-day use digital technology throughout higher education. Against this background, present paper considers devices and resources that students engage most frequently with during their university studies, what these technologies are being used for, perceptions 'usefulness' attached to uses. draws upon data gathered from a survey undergraduate (n = 1658) two Australian universities. Having...
AbstractSocial media, such as social network sites and blogs, are increasingly being used core or ancillary components of educational research, from recruitment to observation interaction with researchers. However, this article reveals complex ethical dilemmas surrounding consent, traceability, working children, illicit activity that we have faced education researchers for which there is little specific guidance in the literature. We believe research committees cannot, should not, be relied...
<p class="abstract">Assessment feedback is an important part of students’ learning experiences; however, text-based has limitations. This article proposes alternative in the form individualised video recordings lecturer discussing each assignment. research reports on 126 undergraduate and postgraduate reactions to 5-minute videos recorded by their teachers. The findings confirm that majority students valued over forms. In particular, video-based was reported as being (specific)...
Assessment feedback allows students to obtain valuable information about how they can improve their future performance and learning strategies. However, research indicates that are more likely reject or ignore comments if evoke negative emotional responses. Despite the importance of this issue, there is a lack exploring certain types experience responses than others. This study builds on extant qualitative studies through quantitative examination two previously identified student variables:...
Abstract Young children from around the world are accessing internet in ever increasing numbers. The rapid increase activity by aged 4–5 years particular is due to ease access enabled them touchscreen internet‐enabled tablet technologies. With young now online, often independently of adult supervision, need for early childhood cyber‐safety education becoming urgent. In this paper, we report findings a project aimed at examining development children. We argue that cannot be effectively...
Abstract Assessment feedback is increasingly being provided in digital modes, from electronic annotations to recordings. Digitally recorded generally considered be more detailed than text‐based feedback. However, few studies have compared recordings with other common including non‐digital forms such as face‐to‐face conversations. It also unclear whether providing multiple modes better a single mode. To explore these possibilities, an online survey asked 4514 Australian university students...
Student agency is often mentioned as a key feature of feedback practices. Commonly, the concept used to refer students’ active role in process seeking, receiving, generating and acting upon information. However, notion what student means taken for granted rarely elaborated. The literature has also mainly focussed on within individualised psychological paradigms feedback. In this paper we argue that more sophisticated view processes needed. We identify four theoretical frameworks reach beyond...
Abstract This article addresses a critical gap in international research concerning digital literacies and empowerment among adults who are English as an additional language (EAL) learners. In the Australian context, where communication services embedded all aspects of life work, proficiency literacies, including advanced technologies like generative artificial intelligence (AI), is vital for working living Australia. Despite increasing prevalence significance AI platforms such ChatGPT,...
Orthotopic liver transplantation may be associated during the postoperative period with hepatic artery thrombosis, a catastrophic occurrence generally necessitating emergency retransplantation. To assess contribution of coagulation mechanism to this complication, levels procoagulant and anticoagulant proteins were followed in 41 transplant patients first 10 days. The mean activities all factors reach normal values on day 1 except for V VII, which achieve activity by 3. Supernormal factór...
There has been a noticeable rise in the use of, and research into, educational videos tertiary education past decade. This is due no small part to reduction of expensive barriers their production storage, an increase access streaming services that make playable anywhere, anytime. Research into broadly falls three categories: improving video design, investigating platforms technologies student engagement, developing pedagogical approaches take full advantage affordances videos. A review key...
