14. Improving Student Accessibility, Equity, Course Performance, and Lab Skills: How Introduction of ClassTranscribe Is Changing Engineering Education at the University of Illinois

Author

Angrave, Lawrence, Jensen, Karin, Zhang, Zhilin, Mahipal, Chirantan, Mussulman, David, Schmitz, Christopher D., Baird, Robert Thomas, Liu, Hongye, Sui, Ruihua, Wu, Maryalice S., and Kooper, Rob

Abstract

This paper presents three case studies that examined the use of ClassTranscribe in a diverse set of undergraduate engineering classes in 2019 and 2020 at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. ClassTranscribe, a video viewing system designed with accessibility and learning in mind, was first presented to the ASEE [American Society for Engineering Education] community in 2019 [1]. The pedagogical features of the tool include: pause, leave and resume viewing; captions available in multiple languages; downloadable transcriptions; shareable links to video moments; and searchable content within each video and across an entire course. The importance of the tool in the context of a commitment to accessibility for engineering education is discussed. In addition, online video content that follows Universal Design for Learning principles enables all students to prepare for assessments and provides more equitable learning opportunities. Low-stress online learning opportunities may be particularly valuable for underrepresented minorities (e.g., [2] explored relative student improvement in multiple exams assessments in an online course with video lectures). The first study presented here describes two extremes: a supplemental-resource approach and primary-resource approach in the adoption of ClassTranscribe into an Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) and Computer Science (CS) course, respectively. In Spring 2020, ECE students used the tool as a supplemental learning resource to review and search live lecture captures. Whereas in the sophomore CS course (N=271 students), physical lectures were canceled and ClassTranscribe was used as a primary learning resource using short-length (<10 minute) videos. The methodology and analysis of the CS course outcomes were described in [3] but relevant findings are reproduced here: Students in the lowest quartile improved by 3.3 percentile points compared to previous semesters and statistically-significant positive learning outcomes were found at all levels of student performance. Each quartile of students who used the tool an above average amount of time led to increased final exam scores, with the lowest quartile increasing 14.4 absolute points compared to their in-quartile peers. A new contribution of this paper is an analysis of the interactions with the tool, which found three event types: Fullscreen-viewing, Change-playback-speed and Search-Transcription predicted improved exam performance and were statistically significant (p<0.01). In the second case study, video instruction was used to present safety and lab-handling techniques in a Bioengineering class prior to rigorous lab assessment. The student-specific analytic data available to the course instructor using the web interface allowed the instructor to check that each student had completed training materials prior to lab work. Student surveys measured several factors including the utility of the tool and students' preferences in video systems and video-based Bioengineering instruction. In the third case study, student feedback from CS and ECE courses were solicited on learning utility and digital accessibility. The majority of the 206 responses reported high utility ("moderately useful" or greater) of the tool when working on assignments (67%) and preparing for an exam (77%). The majority of respondents (96%, n=239) recommended the tool be re-used in future semesters of their course. We present example survey questions that respect student choice to not-self disclose a disability.

19. The Impact of Therapy Dogs on the Social and Emotional Wellbeing of Students: A Systematic Review

Author

Baird, Robert, Grové, Christine, and Berger, Emily

Abstract

Objective: This systematic review examined the impacts of therapy dogs on the social and emotional wellbeing of K-12 students. Procedure: Five electronic databases (PsycINFO, Informit A+ Education, PubMed, Web of Science and ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global) were searched to find English language, grey literature and peer-reviewed articles up to November 2020. Results: A narrative synthesis of 23 articles indicated that therapy dogs may enhance students' mood and positive emotionality, social and communication skills, confidence and their relationship with teachers. Inconsistently, other studies reported that therapy dogs may not enhance the social and emotional wellbeing of students. Conclusion: The current research is characterised by methodological limitations and an over-reliance on the perceptions of students and teachers. To enhance the quality and reliability of the evidence, future researchers are encouraged to adopt more rigorous methodologies with larger sample sizes and control procedures. It is also recommended that the perceptions of school leaders, other educational personnel and interdisciplinary health professionals are incorporated into future studies. This may contribute to a greater level of consensus in the educational sector about the impacts of therapy dogs on the social and emotional wellbeing of K-12 students.

22. Transforming Learning, Conceptualisation and Practices through a MOOC on English as a Medium of Instruction for Academics

Author

Baird, Robert, Borthwick, Kate, and Page, Mary

Abstract

One of the oft-cited advantages of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) is that they provide access opportunities for learners that they might not otherwise have, for example, offering continuing professional development, complementing traditional courses of study, or opening up new areas of knowledge (Ferguson & Sharples, 2014; Hollands & Tirthali, 2014; Zheng, Rosson, Shih, & Carroll, 2015). We report on our experiences designing the FutureLearn MOOC "English as a Medium of Instruction for Academics," and reflect upon how a free, online platform, operating across a global network, has the potential to enhance learning and practice in English Medium Instruction (EMI) domains. We consider how EMI, a topic with transient, contextual, and emergent themes, can profit from contextualisation through global online dialogues in ways that benefit wider understanding of EMI while simultaneously informing educators about the field.

Abstract

Hemodialysis is a risk factor for Staphylococcus aureus bloodstream infection (SAB). In this single-center study, SAB rates were 56% lower during the monsoonal wet season when patients on hemodialysis receive supervised melioidosis prophylaxis with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. This intervention may reduce SAB rates in high-risk patients; however, further targeted studies are required. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background: Grading scales for adverse surgical outcomes have been poorly characterized to date. The primary aim of this study was to conduct a systematic review to enumerate the various frameworks for grading adverse postoperative outcomes; our secondary objective was to outline the properties of each grading system, identifying its strengths and weaknesses. Methods: We searched 9 databases (Africa Wide Information, Biosis, Cochrane, Embase, Global Health, LILACs, Medline, PubMed and Web of Science) from 1992 (the year the Clavien-Dindo classification system was developed) until Mar. 2, 2017, for studies that aimed to develop or improve on an already existing generalizable system for grading adverse postoperative outcomes. Study selection was duplicated as per PRISMA recommendations. Procedure-specific grading systems were excluded. We assessed the framework, strengths and weaknesses of the systems qualitatively. Results: We identified 9 studies on 8 adverse outcome grading systems with frameworks generalizable to any surgical procedure. Most systems have not been widely incorporated in the literature. Seven of the 8 systems were produced without including patients' perspectives. Four allowed the derivation of a composite morbidity score, which had limited tangible significance for patients. Conclusion: Although each instrument identified offered its own advantages, none satisfied the need for a patient-centred tool capable of generating a composite score of all possible postoperative adverse outcomes (complications, sequelae and failure) that enables comparison of noninterventional and surgical management of disease. There is a need for development of a more comprehensive, patient-centred grading system for adverse postoperative outcomes. Contexte : Jusqu'ici, les systemes de classification des issues postoperatoires indesirables n'ont pas encore fait l'objet d'une analyse comparative. Cette etude avait pour objectif principal de recenser, au moyen d'une revue systematique de la litterature, les divers systemes de classification des issues postoperatoire indesirables, et pour objectif secondaire de degager les proprietes, les forces et les faiblesses de chaque systeme. Methodes : Nous avons interroge 9 bases de donnees (Africa Wide Information, Biosis Previews, Cochrane, Embase, Global Health, LILACS, Medline, PubMed et Web of Science) pour trouver des articles publies entre 1992 (annee de la mise au point du systeme de classification de Clavien-Dindo) et le 2 mars 2017. Ces articles devaient porter sur la creation d'un systeme generalisable de classification des issues postoperatoires indesirables, ou l'amelioration d'un systeme existant. La selection des etudes a ete faite en double, conformement aux recommandations PRISMA. Les systemes de classification visant une seule intervention ont ete exclus. Nous avons evalue, d'un point de vue qualitatif, le cadre, les forces et les faiblesses des systemes retenus. Resultats : Nous avons retenu 9 etudes sur 8 systemes de classification accompagnes d'un cadre pouvant etre applique a n'importe quelle intervention chirurgicale. La plupart des systemes n'avaient pas ete largement etudies. Sept des 8 systemes avaient ete developpes sans tenir compte du point de vue des patients, et 4 permettaient de calculer un score de morbidite composite ayant des retombees concretes limitees pour les patients. Conclusion : Tous les systemes retenus s'accompagnaient d'avantages, mais aucun ne pouvait servir d'outil centre sur le patient permettant de calculer un score composite pour toutes les issues postoperatoires possibles (complications, sequelles et echec), score qui pourrait servir a comparer les prises en charge conservatrice et chirurgicale des maladies. La creation d'un systeme de classification des issues postoperatoires indesirables exhaustif centre sur le patient est necessaire., Lack of consensus in defining and measuring the severity of adverse surgical outcomes hinders reliable comparison and categoric assessment of the quality and risks of surgical procedures.
