Abstract

Pedagogical experiment showed that the author's method of distance learning by exam, carried out using e-mail, allowing students to correct their exam works and, consequently to raise their grades, is effective in case of difficult transfer tasks, increases motivation of learners and fosters durable knowledge. The efficacy of the method depends on encouragements addressed to all students to take the attempts to raise their grades. It is advisable to conduct further research into ways and forms of their use. The study confirmed that e-mail can be an effective tool for communication between student and her/his teacher.

CropSurveyor: a scalable open-source experiment management system for distributed plant phenotyping and IoT-based crop management

“…1. We used a Python-based web framework, Flask [23,24], as the base for the device-side services. The main reason for this choice is that Python, a high-level programming language widely used by the scientific community, can interact with many single-board computers (e.g.…”

Email Use Reconsidered in Health Professions Education: Viewpoint

“…When used as a pedagogical tool, it allows the instructor to facilitate the dissemination of information and to support conversations that would not normally take place during a class session [ 13 ]. Moreover, emails sent by course instructors help to motivate students toward successful learning outcomes [ 34 ].
