Subliminal Communication in Human-Computer Interaction

The recent move towards more Computer Science in school in the UK has obvious implications for teacher education, both for in-service and pre-service teachers. In England and other parts of the UK we have seen an unprecedented rate of change in the way that curricula are changing from a focus on learning to use software applications to the introduction of Computer Science throughout primary and secondary schools. In this paper we describe some of the challenges that we have faced, the progress made in the integration of CS, and the support provided for teachers in their professional development. Current developments seek to support teachers with varying needs in a holistic way and we propose a transformational model of professional development [1] for CS, both for in-service teachers as well as forming the basis of new teacher training programmes.KeywordsCS teacher educationteacher professional developmentCS secondary school education

Systematic evaluation of computer-based education (CBE) in all its various forms, including integrated learning systems, interactive multimedia, interactive learning environments and microworlds, often lags behind current development. Th erefore, an evaluation of on-line courses developed at the Faculty of Business Studies and Law and at the Faculty of Information Tehnology has been conducted. The sorses which were intended as a supplement to lectures and seminars were developed as a project using Citrix platform. The evaluation criteria used were based on the experience of the staff at the Instructional Media and Design department at Grant MacEwan College, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and their eleven referential points. Considering the fact shat the courses evaluated are still in their trial period it was not suprising when the outcome showed substantial space for improvements.

Construction of the Baptist Temple on North Broad Street in Philadelphia was begun in 1899 and completed the following year. Temple University was founded within its walls and consequently where it got its name. The University purchased the building in 1972 where it remained vacant for several decades. In 2007, Temple University announced plans to adapt the structure as a multipurpose venue for orchestra and choral performances, jazz ensembles, drama, lectures, and convocations. The building includes the main worship space located above the Chapel of the Four Chaplains in the basement, both of which will be renovated into performance spaces. How does one renovate a wood‐framed, volume‐limited, noisy street side building with deep wraparound balconies and less‐than‐ideal mechanical equipment locations into a performance venue for a high‐quality music department on a limited budget with demanding users and an ultra‐cost‐conscious owner while maintaining the historic fabric of the building? This presentation explores not only the details of the renovations but also the complicated relationships between the owner, the user, the architect, the acoustical consultant, and the peer reviewer.

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has received increasing attention in recent decades. The concept of social responsibility is being applied in universities. Because universities have goals that differ significantly from corporations, the notion of university social responsibility (USR) has emerged in the academic field. The Ministry of Education in Taiwan has regularly implemented USR practice plans since 2018 (Executive Yuan, Taiwan, ROC, 2019). The core values of these plans are "local coalition" and "talent cultivation". Moreover, these plans encourage universities to use the power of professional knowledge and creation to minimize the gap between learning and application for students and to integrate local resources and hands-on strategies to better collaborate with universities around the world and expand participation in international academic activities. Sustainable development (SD) is a core objective of both CSR and USR. The United Nations has advocated for sustainable development since 1987 and formalized the five-component paradigm (people, partnership, peace, planet, and prosperity, 5Ps) in 2015. UN Agenda 2030 addresses 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs), 169 targets, and 3,155 actions, encouraging all national governments to establish national SD action plans (United Nations, 2015). Based on the review of the literature and conceptual frameworks related to USR and SD (Bokhari, 2017), we integrate practice experiences and propose three suggestions for universities: 1) diversities universities could create a campus-wide climate of and comprehensive practice for social responsibility using their professional knowledge; 2) the social, economy, and environment are included in universities SD. The curriculum development of universities links to social practice activities to achieve the goals of talent cultivation to meet social needs; 3) The university projects include specific actions and timeline. The impacts and achievements of USR and SD may be appraised by internal and external experts. Fooyin University is a school of science and technology related to "Big Health". Based on the above theoretical frameworks, the outcome evaluation model of the Center for USR, the Ministry of Education, and the UN's SDGs, we implemented the "Time Wheel Sustainable Model of Social Responsibility at Fooyin University" (Figure 1) and began cooperating with private and government organizations. The model is an intervention and evaluation guideline for the time-dynamic wheel, with the target goal of cultivating health promotion and sustainable development talent. The outcomes and impacts of the model comprise four domains and sixteen indicators. Stakeholders of this model are students/alumni, teaching faculties and administration staff, communities, and the public. USR curriculum designs involve the School of Nursing, School of Medical and Health Sciences, School of Environment and Life Sciences, and College of Humanities and Management. In 2020, 718 faculties and 2,012 students participated in USR projects. In 2021, the participation numbers were 679 faculties and 2,303 students. The Fooyin USR is now firmly rooted in thirty communities. Starting in 2022, The Fooyin USR has collaborated with local private companies (CSR) and local youths and communities (regional revitalization, RR) to launch the 3 R formula framework of the USR. The goal of the 3 R action plan is to use artificial intelligence technology to provide innovative, community-based care. The USR operations of university sustainable development around Taiwan are achieving wonderful results, with even better achievements expected. This special column presents case studies of innovative community care and sustainable development within the context of university social responsibility at four universities, including Fooyin University, Siaogang Hospital, Kaohsiung Medical University, National Cheng Kung University, and Taipei Medical University. Since 2020, nations around the world have fought off COVID-19. The strategies of national prevention have evolved to better respond to disasters and to live with the virus. Therefore, in the post-pandemic period, universities around Taiwan have been implementing sustainable development practices. These universities are making strong efforts to develop innovative care for communities through academic exchange and publishing in order to accomplish social responsibility.

Reading the Media: Media Literacy in High School English by Renee Hobbs. New York: Teacher’s College Press; Newark, DE: The International Reading Association, 2007, 190 pp. Reviewed by Myrna Goldstein Are You in Your English File?® Second Language Learning Research Center, Milan, Italy This book, written by national expert in media literacy education and com- munications professor at Temple University, Dr. Renee Hobbs, is a highly scien- tific, reflective and exhaustive account of the inception and outcome of one year of a pioneering project in Grade 11 high school media literacy in Concord, New Hampshire. The project, already in its ninth year, was created by teachers with the help of Hobbs. The project’s goals focus on empowering students to effect meaningful social change by developing the skills to receive, decipher, analyze, and put to productive and creative use the daily media bombardment that all of us face. Hobbs’ research goal is to use micro- and macro-analyses to lead to gen- eralizations about the usefulness of media literacy within the context of English language arts education. The book is written in a scientific but quite readable, down-to-earth style. Therefore, the information it contains is highly accessible for all types of profes- sionals interested in the topic, including those who may be interested in conceiving a similar program in their own institutions, but perhaps may not be interested in pursuing scientific research. This volume, a joint publication effort of the International Reading As- sociation and Columbia University’s Teachers College Press, traces the project’s development and outcome, capturing the complex kinds of learning that students experienced. The in-depth research includes valuable quantitative and qualitative data including over 700 pages of teacher and participant interview transcripts, classroom observations, four handwritten field notebooks, and nearly 200 differ- ent samples including student writing, videos, lesson plans, and assignments. The qualitative data was used to help Hobbs understand the contextual details of local practice, and the quantitative data was examined in order to better comprehend the program’s impact on student performances, attitudes, behaviors, and literacy practices. Hobbs gathered quantitative data from both Concord High School and a matched control group school to map changes in students’ interpretation of media texts, in print, visual, electronic, and audio formats. The research included 200 variables culled from nearly 400 students at two points in time, resulting in almost 16,000 pieces of data. Sixteen questions about four focused categories served as the inquiry springboard: teacher, students, program, and community.

Computer science in UK schools is a subject in decline: the ratio of Computing to Maths A-Level students (i.e. ages 16--18) has fallen from 1:2 in 2003 to 1:20 in 2011 and in 2012. In 2011 and again in 2012, the ratio for female students was 1:100, with less than 300 female students taking Computing A-Level in the whole of the UK each year. Similar problems have been observed in the USA and other countries, despite the increased need for computer science skills caused by IT growth in industry and society. In the UK, the Computing At School (CAS) group was formed to try to improve the state of computer science in schools. Using a combination of grassroots teacher activities and policy lobbying at a national level, CAS has been able to rapidly gain traction in the fight for computer science in schools. We examine the reasons for this success, the challenges and dangers that lie ahead, and suggest how the experience of CAS in the UK can benefit other similar organisations, such as the CSTA in the USA.

Nowadays in Russit, as well as in Europe, problem of the lack of trained specialists in interdisciplinary fields of science and technology, and among them engineers-physicists and physicists-researchers able to collaborate with biologists and physicians at high today's scientific level, is sharply outlined. As a result, problems are evident in efficiency of employment and development of modern medical diagnostic and therapeutic equipment. Skilled specialists trained in the field of physics and mathematics with substantial knowledge in biology and medicine are needed. Similar situation has been seen in Russia in the field of biophysics in early sixties. Today, in medicine, the growing emphasis is placed on less invasive methods of intervention [1]. The demand of less invasive intervention is best of all met by laser (optical) diagnostic methods and laser treatment. The use of these techniques and laser surgery methods and tools provides shorter hospitalization and rehabilitation time. But the medical personnel and technicians who work now in clinics often can't provide effective, reliable, and safe employment of such intricate equipment as laser units and tools. However, if for the efficient and safe clinical use of lasers training specialists in the field of laser technology and optical units with very general understanding of medico-biological principles of laser radiation effect on bioobjects seems to be sufficient, in the case of basic medical and biological research the participation of specialist with basic education in biotissue optics, properties of coherent radiation, theory of lasers and fiber optics, laser measurements, and principles of spectroscopy, on the one hand, and physiology, biochemical and biophysical mechanisms of radiation action on living systems, principles of medical diagnosis and objective criteria of treatment, on the other hand, is essential. In recent years, the need for specialists trained in physics and laser technology and at the same time with the knowledge of biology and medical disciplines is evident in industry. Many plants and research-productive amalgamations with modem high technologies lost the bulk of orders for the cutting of budget allocations to defense (in the US the reduction of defense spending takes place too [1]). Conversion of industry, the use of high technology facilities for production of technically intricate medical equipment, including laser diagnostic and therapeutical units, is the way out. As a rule, large manufacturers have their own research and design departments, and that is the place where the specialists trained in biomedical optics are needed. It is University with its traditional developed system of basic education in various fields of natural sciences that is able to train specialists who can on the base of basic knowledge and practical skills perform research and design project on their own. At the same time, basic training and additional training of instructors and lecturers for higher school remain the central task of educational process at University. Highly qualified faculty, permanent research activity, close relations with research and development divisions of industrial enterprises and with research groups in clinics, all that forms the basis for realization of the principle of continuity in biomedical optics education: physicist/engineer-physicist -Candidate of Science (Ph.D.) Doctor of Science.

Purpose: This study aims to develop an AI-assisted e-storyboard that is accessible through a web-based platform and to examine its validity and practicality for supporting students in designing interactive multimedia learning materials. Method: The study employed a research and development approach using the Four-D (Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate) framework. Data were collected from mathematics education students and expert validators at Muhammadiyah University Sorong through needs-analysis questionnaires, expert validation instruments, and student response questionnaires. The collected data were analyzed descriptively using percentage-based criteria to determine the validity and practicality of the developed system. Findings: The developed e-storyboard integrates artificial intelligence features that provide recommendations for visual, audio, textual, and animation elements based on user input. Expert validation results indicated that the product achieved a high level of feasibility across language, content, and media aspects, with an overall validity score of 91.25 percent. Student responses also demonstrated strong acceptance of the system, with a practicality score of 87 percent. Although minor technical challenges were reported in relation to certain interactive components, the majority of users found the platform easy to use, engaging, and helpful in structuring multimedia design tasks. Significance: The findings indicate that the AI-assisted web-based e-storyboard is both valid and practical as a tool for interactive multimedia planning. By offering real-time recommendations and collaborative features, the system reduces common difficulties associated with manual storyboard development and supports a more efficient and structured multimedia design process. This study contributes to the advancement of educational technology by demonstrating how artificial intelligence can be meaningfully integrated into instructional design frameworks to support student creativity and learning.
