Un atelier d’écriture en ligne pour rester en lien. Ce que la distance fait à la créativité

The online writing workshop, led by Amélie Charcosset, was conducted as part of our seminar-course entitled "Giving body to one's speeches. Writing and eloquence workshop", at the EFLE of the University of Lausanne. The double specificity of this session was to be carried out online, via the video meeting software Zoom, and to close a particular semester, because of the confinement and the distance learning. In this context, I proposed synchronous classes on Zoom, with the double objective of giving body to writing and making body through writing and saying. Writing then appears as an open space, a convivial place to stay connected, with the word as landscape and sharing (saying) as horizon.

Video Meeting Signals: A randomised controlled trial of a technique to improve the experience of video conferencing

We found evidence from a randomised controlled trial that a simple set of techniques can improve the experience of online meetings. Video conferencing technology has practical benefits, but psychological costs. It has allowed industry, education and social interactions to continue in some form during the covid-19 lockdowns. But it has left many users feeling fatigued and socially isolated, perhaps becausethe limitations of video conferencing disrupt users’ability to coordinate interactions and foster social affiliation. Video Meeting Signals (VMS™) is a simple technique that uses gestures to overcome some of these limitations. We carried out a randomisedcontrolled trial with over 100 students, in which half underwent a short training session in VMS. All participants rated their subjective experience of two weekly seminars, and transcripts were objectively coded for the valence of language used. Compared to controls, seminar groups with VMS training rated their personal experience, their feelings toward their group, and their perceived learning outcomes as significantly higher. Also, they were more likely to use positive language and less likely to use negative language. While future, pre-registered experiments will explore which aspects of the technique are responsible for these benefits, the current results establish that VMS has great potential to overcome the psychological problems of group video meetings.

Implementasi Aplikasi Meeting Online Pada Virtual Private Server di Masa Pandemi

Meningkatnya kebutuhan untuk proses pembelajaran di tengah wabah pandemi COVID19, sangat dirasakan khususnya di provinsi Maluku Utara, menjadikan Akademi Ilmu Komputer (AIKOM) Ternate perlu mencari alternatif terbaik sehingga proses pembelajaran di masa pandemi bisa berjalan dengan optimal. Video Meeting seperti Zoom Meeting dan Google Meet menjadi alternatif yang sebelumnya telah diterapkan, akan tetapi dengan mengingatnya kebutuhan akan penerapan ilmu pengetahuan, dan pengabdian, maka dibutuhkan sebuah sistem yang dibangun secara mandiri yang mampu mengatasi kebutuhan-kebutuhan ini. Kebutuhan yang menjadi acuan utama disini adalah berkaitan dengan proses belajar di tengah COVID19, penerapan ilmu, penelitian dan pengabdian kepada masyarakat. Akademi iImu Komputer (AIKOM) sebelumnya telah memiliki Virtual Private Server (VPS) yang nantinya akan diimplementasikan juga untuk kebutuhan video meeting selain sebagai media informasi akademik. Menerapkan Video Meeting pada VPS diharapkan mampu menampung jumlah mahasiswa perkelasnya secara online secara bersamaan dan juga mampu untuk me-manage room dan akun. Video meeting yang bangun mampu berjalan dengan baik sebagaimana yang diharapkan, dengan penggunaan RAM kurang dari yang ada.

Adapting to Teaching During a Pandemic: Pedagogical Adjustments for the Next Semester of Teaching During COVID-19 and Future Online Learning

COVID-19 has altered public health higher education and its impact on pedagogy will be felt long into the future. In response to social distancing measures, teaching academics implemented a number of changes to curricula. It is important to better understand and begin to evaluate these changes, as well as set a course for future changes to public health curricula both during and after the pandemic to best enable transformative learning. Teaching academics have an understanding of academic hierarchies and student perceptions and are well placed to provide insights into current and future changes to pedagogy in response to the pandemic. A survey was developed to examine changes that academics had made to their teaching in response to COVID-19. Responses were received from 63 public health teaching academics from five universities in Australia, the United States, and Canada. Public health teaching academics rapidly implemented a number of changes to their teaching, including alterations that enabled online teaching. The great majority of changes to teaching were related to tools or techniques, such as synchronous tutorials delivered in a video meeting room. There remains further work for the public health pedagogy community in reevaluating teaching aims and teaching philosophies in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. This could include examination of the weighting of different topics, including communicable diseases, in curricula. A series of questions to assist academics reformulating their curricula is provided. Public health teaching evolved rapidly to meet the challenges of COVID-19; however, ongoing adaptation is necessary to further enhance pedagogy.

An Alternative Method Of Online Learning Using The Feynman Technique

In school learning through online during pandemic COVID-19, students facing the problems, one of which was caused by an internet connection during a learning video meeting. In addition, when online learning there are students who find difficult to understand the lesson. To increase the Sustainable Development Goal in the field of education (quality education) this study provides an alternative online learning method with the Feynman Technique. This study uses a qualitative method with the study of literature (documents) from e-journals. Journal searches are carried out Google Scholar, Academia, and Garuda. Based on the search results obtained and selected data that meets the criteria. Analysis of the literature review includes data collection, data presentation, and concluding. An alternative method of online learning using the Feynman Technique which students can teach a topic to friends or themselves until they understand the topic. With the Feynman Technique, students can be more active in the learning process and become less passive because they not only listen to the teacher explain through video meetings. By using the Feynman technique, students are required to be able to understand the context of the lesson. In this learning technique the teacher also needs to control the students to ensure whether the students really understand.The Feynman Technique makes the students to be active and increase achievementalso can save on internet expenses because it can reduce the use of learning video meetings. Communication between teachers and students can be transferred using the WhatsApp media which does not require as much internet costs as a video meeting.

Living with Pain and Looking for a Safe Environment: A Qualitative Study among Nursing Students with Dysmenorrhea

Dysmenorrhea refers to chronic pain associated with menstruation that is often accompanied by other symptoms. Primary dysmenorrhea (PD) occurs without any associated pelvic disease. Nonetheless, it may negatively affect women’s quality of life. Among university students, dysmenorrhea decreases academic performance and is a cause of absenteeism. The purposes of our study were to describe how nursing students experienced PD and the changes affecting their body and mood. A qualitative case study was performed among 33 nursing students with PD. Data were collected through five focus groups (with two sessions each) and 10 researchers’ field notes. We used a video meeting platform to conduct the focus groups. A thematic analysis was performed, and the Standards for Reporting Qualitative Research and the Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research guidelines were followed. Three main themes emerged from the data: (a) living with dysmenorrhea, with two subthemes: menstruation and pain; (b) body changes and mood swings; and (c) seeking a safe environment, with three subthemes: safe environment, unsafe environment, and key safety aspects. Students considered menstruation to be negative and limiting, causing physical and mood changes, making them feel less attractive, and conditioning their way of dressing and relating.
