Badges are non fungible tokens used to document or certify achievements in academics or in any other domain. Besides their utility as proof of achievement, badges are of interest in higher education as pure incentives to push the students and learners in general toward pursuing well-defined goals and skills. In this respect, badges can be naturally incorporated into digital learning platforms also as part of informal learning activities, and stimulate participation, merit, and visibility for the students. However, the level of engagement of learners into these learning activities depends crucially on how the system of badges and rewards has been designed and on how it is applied, if it is to be used effectively. In this paper, we report on the design and implementation of a smart badges system, and an example of its use inside a gamification methodology for informal learning in a master level course, and discuss the benefits and the observed gains in learning performance that can be obtained.

ABSTRACTObjectives:Advances in medical discoveries have bolstered expectations of precise and complete care, but delivering on such a promise for complex, chronic neurological care delivery requires solving last-mile challenges. We describe the iterative human-centered design and pilot process for MS neuroSHARE, a digital health solution that brings practical information to the point-of-care so clinicians and patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) can view, discuss and make informed decisions together.Methods:We initiated a comprehensive human-centered process to iteratively design, develop and implement a digital health solution for managing MS in the routine outpatient setting of the nonprofit Sutter Health system in Northern California. The human-centered co-design process included three phases: Discovery and Design, Development, and Implementation and Pilot. Stakeholders included Sutter Health’s Research Development and Dissemination team, academic domain experts, neurologists, patients with MS, and an Advisory Group.Results:MS neuroSHARE went live in November 2018. It included a patient- and clinician-facing web application that launches from the electronic health record, visually displays a patient’s data relevant to MS, and prompts the clinician to comprehensively evaluate and treat the patient. Both patients and clinicians valued the ability to jointly view patient-generated and other data. Preliminary results suggest that MS neuroSHARE promotes patient-clinician communication and more active patient participation in decision-making.Conclusions:Lessons learned in the design and implementation of MS NeuroSHARE are broadly applicable to the design and implementation of digital tools aiming to improve the experience of delivering and receiving high-quality care for complex, neurological conditions across large health systems.

Instructional Design Principles

This chapter explores the perspectives of an instructional design team that designed and developed an online environment to facilitate the Australian physical and health educators’ community of practice. The objective of the multidisciplinary design team was to determine what activities and supporting technologies would help invigorate senior members and initiate novice members to this well-established community. The chapter describes the community and the particular challenges it faces; details the design, development and implementation processes for the online environment and activities; identifies the issues addressed during the design and implementation process; and, analyses the experiences of the initial implementation. The authors hope that the instructional design principles derived from examining the challenges and successes for this particular community of practice will support designers and researchers working with other communities to address similar issues.

System Use

Abundant descriptive literature exists regarding the use of level systems in classrooms for students with significant behavior problems. Despite this abundance, only prima facie evidence as to its efficiency and power to significantly change behavior has been offered. That is, little empirical data have been available to guide the design, development, and implementation of level systems. This article presents a chronicle of the development of level systems and examines assumptions underlying their concepts and components. The discussion leads to a set of recommendations to help guide future research into the design and implementation of level systems.

The Relationship

This book examines one of the critical measures introduced by African constitutional designers in their attempts to entrench an ethos of constitutionalism on the continent. Taking a critical look at the different ways in which attempts have been made to separate the different branches of government, the book examines the impact this is having on transparent and accountable governance. Beginning with an overview of constitutionalism in Africa and the different influences on modern African constitutional developments, it looks at the relationship between the legislature and the executive as well as the relationship between the judiciary and the political branches. Despite differences in approaches between the various constitutional cultures that have influenced developments in Africa, there remain common problems. One of these problems is the constant friction in the relationship between the three branches and the resurgent threats of authoritarianism which clearly suggest that there remain serious problems in both constitutional design and implementation. The book also studies the increasing role being played by independent constitutional institutions and how they complement the checks and balances associated with the traditional three branches of government.

Common Problems

The growing demand for subjective measurements of health in clinical studies has encouraged the rapid creation of many new scales, leading to compromises in the quality of some instruments. Quality control standards are desirable to guide the development of measures and subsequent data interpretation. The limitations in existing measures may be classified under three broad topic areas: 1) shortcomings in the design of the instrument, 2) methodological limitations in the process of its development, and 3) shortcomings in the way that the instrument is described following its initial development. We outline examples of common problems in these areas and propose guidelines for the design, development and presentation of health measurement methods. The guidelines represent a preliminary step in formalizing a discipline of health measurement.

Purpose To provide an overview of communication characteristics exhibited by individuals with Angelman Syndrome (AS) and special considerations associated with the design and implementation of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) programs. Method Results of recent studies exploring individuals' uses of AAC are reviewed, with particular emphasis on factors related to individuals' acceptance and successful uses of AAC systems. Results Not applicable Conclusion Despite their inconsistent access to practices previously found to foster individuals' acceptance of AAC systems, individuals with AS demonstrate the ability to use AAC systems, including high-tech AAC devices, successfully.
