“…Negative attitudes must therefore affect learning outcomes and reflect poorly upon CBL as a concept rather than the specific content of the package. This confirms the views of Devitt and Palmer (1999) that in implementing CBL as a learning resource, provision must be made for the style of teaching of the course and the style of learning of the students attending that course. The fact that integration into the course curriculum is crucial has also been described by Hughes (2002) and it must be stressed that use of CBL as an 'add on' resource is a de-motivating factor in student learning.…”

“…21 CAL addresses some of the issues associated with limited time, patient availability, and exposure to ophthalmic cases, by enabling increasing amounts of knowledge to be presented in the ophthalmic sciences. Devitt et al 22 have shown that CAL used in ophthalmology can be an effective learning resource in teaching medical students clinical skills competence, 23 as well as problem solving skills, 24 including application to Figure 2 Mean pre-and post-rotation scores for the VOC intervention and control groups. There were statistically significant (Po0.001) within-subject improvements pre-to post rotation for both the control and intervention groups.…”

Aim The Virtual Ophthalmology Clinic (VOC) is an interactive web-based teaching module, with special emphasis on history taking and clinical reasoning skills. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of VOC on medical students' learning. Methods A randomised controlled trial (RCT) was conducted with medical students from the University of Sydney (n ¼ 188) who were randomly assigned into either an experimental (n ¼ 93) or a control group (n ¼ 95). A pre-and post-test and student satisfaction questionnaire were administered. Twelve months later a follow-up test was conducted to determine the long-term retention rate of graduates. Results There was a statistically significant (Po0.001) within-subject improvement preto post rotation in the number of correctly answered questions for both the control and experimental groups (mean improvement for control 10%, 95% CI 1.3-2.6, and for experimental 17.5%, 95% CI 3.0-4.0). The improvement was significantly greater in the experimental group (mean difference in improvement between groups 7.5%, 95% CI 0.8-2.3, Po0.001). At 12 months follow-up testing, the experimental group scored on average 1.6 (8%) (95%CI 0.4 to 2.7, P ¼ 0.007) higher than the controls. Conclusion On the basis of a statistically significant improvement in academic performance and highly positive student feedback, the implementation of VOC may provide a means to address challenges to ophthalmic learning outcomes in an already crowded medical curriculum.

“…Supporting the theoretical knowledge given in education with the application increases the stability in education [17]. Students must have the choice of how they can learn with an intense education and test opportunity as well as their own learning styles [18].…”

Oblikovanje i implementacija seta za učenje za primjenu na distribuiranom sustavu i mehatronici: učenje na temelju projekta DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A TRAINING SET FOR DISTRIBUTED SYSTEM AND MECHATRONIC APPLICATIONS: PROJECT BASED LEARNING Mehmet Fatih IşikOrginal scientific paper Nowadays, with the development of information technology, real-time and reliable devices have been developed for users and system control. Commonly used ones are programmable logic controller and operator panels. Programming of these devices, learning the communication with the controller and the hardware installations have gained great importance especially for technical staff and engineering students. In this study, automation and control technique training sets were developed for the applications used widely in industrial applications. In the training sets, programmable logic controller (PLC) and human machine interface (HMI) were used for the control. With the training sets both automation education and control techniques such as P, PI, and PID are compared. At the same time, skills and logical programming abilities of the students studying in the training were attempted to be improved with this application. In order to measure and evaluate, 18 technical staff working in the industrial sector, 14 students studying automation engineering and eight students studying pre-license training, a group of 40 people in total was formed and performances were measured at the end of the training. Keywords: automation; distributed system; servo systems, training setOblikovanje i implementacija seta za učenje za primjenu na distribuiranom sustavu i mehatronici: učenje na temelju projekta Izvorni znanstveni članak Danas, s razvojem informatičke tehnologije, razvijeni su suvremeni i pouzdani uređaji za korisnike i upravljanje sustavom. Najviše korišteni su paneli za operatera i regulatori logike za programiranje. Programiranje ovih uređaja, učenje kako komunicirati s kontrolnim i hardverskim instalacijama postalo je vrlo važno posebice za tehničko osoblje i studente inženjerstva. U ovom radu, razvijeni su setovi za učenje tehnika za automatizaciju i upravljanje koji se uvelike rabe u industrijskim aplikacijama. U tim su se setovima za upravljanje koristili regulator logike za programiranje (PLC) i sučelje između čovjeka i stroja -human machine interface (HMI). U setovima za učenje paralelno su se uspoređivale i uvježbavale tehnike automatizacije i regulacije kao P, PI i PID. U isto vrijeme, s tom su se aplikacijom pokušavale popraviti vještine i sposobnosti logičkog programiranja obučavanih studenata. U svrhu mjerenja i evaluacije, formirana je grupa od 40 ljudi -18 pripadnika tehničkog osoblja iz industrijskog sektora, 14 studenata inžinjerstva automatizacije i 8 studenata pripremanih za rad prije stjecanja diplome, čije su se sposobnosti mjerile po završetku obuke.

Computer‐aided learning: an overvalued educational resource?

Abstract: If computer materials are to be provided as a learning resource for the basic medical sciences, provision must be made for the style of teaching of the course and the style of learning of the students attending that course.
