revising the Online Classroom usability testing for training Online technical communication instructors
Technical Communication Quarterly, 2017Co-Authors: Joseph Bartolotta, Tiffany Bourelle, Julianne NewmarkAbstract:ABSTRACTThis article reports on an effort by the authors to use usability testing as a component of Online teacher training for their multimajor technical communication course. The article further explains the ways in which program administrators at other institutions can create their own usability testing protocols for formative Online teacher training in course design and in principles of user-centered design.

late start of upper secondary education and health compromising behaviours among finnish adolescents a follow up study
European Journal of Public Health, 2020Co-Authors: Henrik Dobewall, Leena Koivusilta, Sakari Karvonen, Pirjo Lindfors, Jaana M Kinnunen, Maripauliina Vainikainen, Arja RimpelaAbstract:BACKGROUND The Finnish government has emphasized the need to expedite educational transitions. We study if a late start of upper secondary education is related to health-related selection, namely health-compromising behaviours in adolescence. METHODS A large cohort of adolescents from the seventh (12-13 years) and ninth (15-16 years) grades answered Online Classroom surveys (total n = 10 873). They were followed to the start of upper secondary education, obtained from the Joint Application Registry. We compared those who continued studies directly from the ninth grade with later starters. We measured late bedtime, breakfast not every school day, tooth brushing less than twice-a-day, monthly alcohol consumption, weekly smoking, daily energy drinks, physical activity <6 days/week and excessive screen time. Multilevel logistic regressions and latent class analyses were conducted. RESULTS In gender and school adjusted models in the seventh grade, all behaviours except physical activity predicted the late start. The strongest predictor was smoking, OR = 2.96 (CI = 2.25-3.89). In the ninth grade, smoking, breakfast, tooth brushing and energy drinks, OR = 1.80, (CI = 1.36-2.39, strongest), were predictive. After controlling for sociodemographic background and academic achievement, associations for alcohol and screen time became non-significant in the seventh grade. In the ninth grade, only screen time remained significant, OR = 1.33 (CI = 1.04-1.71). Health-compromising behaviours formed clusters. Belonging to the unhealthy cluster predicted the late start in both grades, in adjusted models only in the seventh grade. CONCLUSIONS Students with health-compromising behaviours are less likely to start upper secondary education directly after the compulsory education. This may increase the risk for fragmentary educational trajectories and work careers.

Research on Key Technologies of Smart Campus Teaching Platform Based on 5G Network
IEEE Access, 2019Co-Authors: Xin Xu, Shichao Yang, Shujiang Yu, George Mastorakis, Gunasekaran Manogaran, Dan Li, Constandinos X. MavromoustakisAbstract:With the development of mobile Internet technology and the popularity of intelligent mobile terminals, the data traffic load of mobile client users on the smart campus network platform has surged. How to reduce the data traffic of the smart campus network platform is an urgent problem to be solved. First, this paper discussed the key technologies of smart campus network teaching platform under the background of the 5G network, expounded the critical technologies of the transport layer of the Internet of Things (IoT) technology, and analyzed from the development perspective of the IoT platform. Second, by investigating the Online Classroom data of five types of colleges and universities in China and comparing the advantages and disadvantages of Online Classroom teaching and traditional Classroom teaching, it is found that the number of Online courses in colleges and universities has exploded in the second half of 2017. Next, this paper analyzed the demand of smart campus Online teaching platform under the background of the 5G network, thus established an Online teaching platform based on the four initiatives operation model (government-led, college sponsor, teacher subject, and academic director). Finally, this paper adopted the improved VIRE localization algorithm to obtain the specific location information of the student users in the Classroom and, then, compared with the error obtained by the VIRE algorithm, and the error of the improved VIRE algorithm is smaller. In the process of obtaining information, the 5G network technology is used for data transmission, which can shorten the check-in time and can improve the positioning accuracy.
