The purpose of this research was to describe the reflections of 10 Swedish and U.S. baccalaureate nursing students who participated in a semester-long, student-centered, interactive video-conferencing (IVC) education project. Reflective journaling was incorporated as one of several learning strategies to enhance students’ personal and professional development. Principles of phenomenography were used to analyze the data; three categories, with two sub-categories in each, emerged from the journal data. Participation in this student-centered project spurred the students in both countries to reflect upon themselves, their transition, and their profession.

IEEE 802.16/WiMAX wireless technology is designed to provide broadband wireless access (BWA). WiMAX PMP is envisioned to provide last-mile Internet access as well as backhaul for SOHO (Small office small home) environments. IEEE 802.11 WLAN is widely suggested for the last-mile network segment. In this project, a simulation study is done with four major goals in mind: (i) to gather expertise on and evaluate OPNET Modeler 14.5 wireless suite simulation tools for further use, (ii) to gather measurements of two important QoS characteristics of end-to-end delay & jitter in MiWAX backhaul and WLAN last-mile network, (iii) to determine a model specifying which WiMAX scheduling service is best suited for VoIP and Interactive video conferencing for supporting a WiMAX backhaul network, and (iv) to determine any issues impeding QoS performance when traffic traverses the two wireless networks. We concluded from extensive simulation that WiMAX UGS scheduling service is best suited for variable bit rate (VRBR) VoIP traffic and rtPS is the scheduling service of choice for constant bit rate (CBR) video conferencing traffic in the hybrid wireless SOHO network.

Introduction: The Blended Quality Improvement (QI) Workshop is a programme designed to provide learners with basic tools and techniques in QI using a combination of e-learning and face-to-face classroom interactions. To adapt to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) situation for safe social distancing since the end of January 2020, SingHealth Duke-NUS Institute for Patient Safety & Quality (IPSQ) suspended all face-to-face workshops. However, the need for effective QI training remains. Objective: The aim was to develop an effective virtual interactive Blended QI Workshop through videoconferencing. Methods: The workshop was redesigned by reviewing the curriculum and incorporating the use of interactive functions. The new workshop took place virtually via a video conferencing platform and incorporated the use of interactive polling, game, videos and case study. A total of 23 learners attended the two pilot runs that took place on 28 April 2020 and 22 May 2020. A survey assessed learners’ reactions and satisfaction with the training and preference in using video conferencing tools during disease and non-disease outbreak situations, while the quizzes assessed learners’ learning in QI knowledge. The results on the improvement in QI knowledge were compared to the original blended e-learning and face-to-face workshop ( n=63) that took place before the COVID-19 pandemic. Results: The gain in QI knowledge from virtual and from face-to-face Blended QI Workshops was statistically significant ( p<0.01, n=86). However, there was no statistically significant difference in the gain in QI knowledge with both content delivery approaches ( p=0.13). All 23 learners agreed that the video conferencing platform was convenient, 20 (87.0%) felt that the platform was effective in delivering content and 18 (78.3%) were keen to use video conferencing tools for QI workshops during disease outbreak situations. Remarkably, a substantial number of learners ( n=11; 47.8%) preferred the use of interactive video conferencing to supplement face-to-face classroom-based Blended QI Workshops for non-disease outbreak situations. Conclusion: The virtual interactive Blended QI Workshop was as effective as the face-to-face Blended QI Workshop based on learners’ views and gains in QI knowledge post workshop. The success of virtual QI workshops makes them a new norm in the post-COVID-19 environment.

Interactive video conferencing provides a useful medium for distance education. Due to the highly visual nature of many horticulture courses, the multimedia techniques utilized in video conferencing provide a rich platform from which to conduct many aspects of these efforts. Video conferencing also requires an overall evaluation of which common teaching techniques work and what possible modifications may be necessary to accomplish the desired teaching goals. Some of the topics for consideration in utilizing interactive video conferencing include encouraging participation of remote students, overcoming the feeling of viewing television, identifying the desired level of involvement by the students with the technology, considering alternative methods to reach desired course objectives, coordinating evaluation and testing, implementing classroom management techniques, and adding high touch to the high tech medium. Texas Tech and Texas A&M Universities have utilized interactive video conferencing at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Some of the successful techniques as well as identification of a few of the pitfalls will be discussed.

This chapter reports how two teacher educators at a land-grant public university in the Intermountain West region of the United States used video conferencing and project-based learning to engage preservice teachers taking classes over interactive video conferencing. The preservice teachers in these courses had to choose a topic related to teaching writing they wanted to learn more about, research this topic, and then create a website with pieces written in multiple genres that shared what they learned from their research. Preservice teachers then shared their websites with their classmates. Data analysis suggests that preservice teachers found opportunities to engage with others on video conferencing in both whole class and small group settings to be beneficial. The authors share ways that instructors in all disciplines can incorporate project-based learning and video conferencing in their courses.
