Theory in Teaching Effectiveness

The role of project-based learning with activity theory in teaching effectiveness: Evidence from the internet of things course



Higher education is beginning to focus on how to effectively cultivate IoT engineers who possess both hard skills and soft skills. Therefore, from the perspective of activity theory and combining it with project-based learning, this study constructed a project-based learning framework based on activity theory and applied this framework to an IoT course at a university in central China. The first half of the course adopted a traditional lecture-based teaching method, while the second half of the course was carried out based on the proposed framework, thus constituting a control group and an experimental group.

To further explore the effectiveness of the proposed framework on IoT courses, the data of this study consisted of two aspects: on the one hand, questionnaires on students’ learning engagement and satisfaction with the IoT course were collected; on the other hand, with the help of an intelligent teaching analytics platform, the effectiveness of the proposed framework in optimizing the classroom structure was objectively analyzed from three dimensions of teaching mode, classroom atmosphere, and teacher-student intimacy. The experimental results showed that compared with traditional teaching, teaching based on the proposed framework can significantly improve students’ learning engagement and satisfaction.

Specifically, the increase in emotional engagement was the highest at 43.07%, followed by a 26.42% increase in behavioral engagement and a 35.15% increase in cognitive engagement. Meanwhile, it also optimizes the classroom structure to a certain extent. The teaching mode has shifted from lecture-based to hybrid, the classroom atmosphere is more harmonious and equal, and the teacher-student intimacy is increasing.

Global Lighthouse Network

Smart, sustainable manufacturing: 3 lessons from the Global Lighthouse Network Launched in 2018, when more than 70% of factories struggled to scale digital transformation beyond isolated pilots, the Global Lighthouse Network set out to identify the world’s most advanced production sites and create a shared learning journey to up-level the global manufacturing community. In the past seven years, the network has grown from 16 to 201 industrial sites in more than 30 countries and 35 sectors, including the latest cohort of 13 new sites. This growing community of organizations is setting new standards for operational excellence, leveraging advanced technologies to drive growth, productivity, resilience and environmental sustainability. But what exactly is a Global Lighthouse and what has the network achieved? What is the Global Lighthouse Network? The Global Lighthouse Network is a community of operational facilities and value chains that harness digital technologies at scale to ac...

Multi-Modal Data

Multi-Task Federated Split Learning Across Multi-Modal Data with Privacy Preservation With the advancement of federated learning (FL), there is a growing demand for schemes that support multi-task learning on multi-modal data while ensuring robust privacy protection, especially in applications like intelligent connected vehicles. Traditional FL schemes often struggle with the complexities introduced by multi-modal data and diverse task requirements, such as increased communication overhead and computational burdens. In this paper, we propose a novel privacy-preserving scheme for multi-task federated split learning across multi-modal data (MTFSLaMM). Our approach leverages the principles of split learning to partition models between clients and servers, employing a modular design that reduces computational demands on resource-constrained clients. To ensure data privacy, we integrate differential privacy to protect intermediate data and employ homomorphic encryption to safeguard client m...

Intelligent visual question answering in TCM education: An innovative application of IoT and multimodal fusion This paper proposes an innovative Traditional Chinese Medicine Ancient Text Education Intelligent Visual Question Answering System ( TCM-VQA IoTNet ), which integrates Internet of Things (IoT) technology with multimodal learning to achieve a deep understanding and intelligent question answering of both the images and textual content of traditional Chinese medicine ancient texts. The system utilizes the VisualBERT model for multimodal feature extraction, combined with Gated Recurrent Units (GRU) to process time-series data from IoT sensors, and employs an attention mechanism to optimize feature fusion, dynamically adjusting the question answering strategy. Experimental evaluations on standard datasets such as VQA v2.0, CMRC 2018, and the Chinese Traditional Medicine Dataset demonstrate that TCM-VQA IoTNet achieves accuracy rates of 72.7%, 69.%, and 75.4% respectively, with F1-...
