Based Instruction

A number of characteristics are shared between attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and gifted populations. They include issues with sustaining attention, following directions, and completing tasks. When an individual is both gifted and has ADHD (gifted–ADHD) he has unique educational needs that may put him at risk for underachievement. To date the literature largely addresses how to remediate perceived deficits. Less has been written about how to develop the talent of these twice-exceptional individuals. The present semi-autobiographical narrative proposes that inquiry-based instruction within an authentic community of practice can play an integral role in talent development for gifted–ADHD undergraduate students.

This chapter outlines the structure and content of a course devoted to developing strategies to cope with the massive assault of disinformation on American democracy. Ten lessons for the age of disinformation will provide pedagogical techniques to teach high school, college students, or adult learners how to cope with our current environment, which the author calls the “Age of Disinformation.” It provides a multifaceted approach in which each facet reinforces the others. The 10 lessons are (1) characteristics of the age of disinformation; (2) the varieties of false information; (3) knowledge, opinion, and second-hand knowledge; (4) deception and self-deception; (5) psychological factors; (6) cognitive authorities; (7) social media, intellectual freedom, and libraries; (8) logical fallacies; (9) ethical principles; and (10) information, media, and digital literacies and personal, political, and professional commitments. Each lesson outlines the key ideas for each lesson and provides exercises that reinforce the key ideas of each lesson.

Based Instruction

Web-Based Instruction (WBI) has already become a popular option in many higher education institutes, although its efficiency has not been studied. Students will be influenced by many factors while studying through the network. These factors can result in various learning results. The aim of this paper is to discuss the factors affecting the efficiency of WBI by using the method of questionnaire survey. 50 students from the Department of English and 50 students who are not from the Department of English in Anqing Normal College are research subjects. The influencing factors investigated include independent learning capability (ILC), study conditions in college, and students’ family conditions. The investigation results are analyzed and some methods to improve the learning efficiency are proposed.
