February edition : Best free online courses about e-health 1. ArmEducationX: Teaching with Physical Computing: Introduction to Project-Based Learning from ArmEducation This course introduces the fundamental concepts underpinning Project-Based Learning, and how you can apply it with programmable devices to bring STEM & Computing to life in the classroom. https://lnkd.in/eT2pqMKh 2. Image Processing and Analysis for Life Scientists from EPFL Basic image analysis for life scientists with a non-engineering background. The main goal is to teach how to address and solve scientific questions by state of the art image analysis strategies. https://lnkd.in/epVX6njb 3. Programming for Everybody (Getting Started with Python) from The University of Michigan This course is a "no prerequisite" introduction to Python Programming. You will learn about variables, conditional execution, repeated execution and how we use functions. The homework is done in a web browser so you can do all of the programming assignments on a phone or public computer. https://lnkd.in/eFEmnpYh #Tottillo #eHealth #OnlineCourses #FreeCourses #HealthTech #DigitalHealth #Telemedicine #Healthcare #MedicalEducation #HealthInformatics #HealthIT #RemoteHealth #Telehealth #HealthcareTechnology #eLearning #HealthcareTraining #HealthcareInnovation #PublicHealth #HealthcareAccessibility #HealthcareManagement #HealthcareProfessionals #MedTech

I am elated to share the publication of my first research paper at the ACM Conference on International Computing Education Research (ACM, Association for Computing Machinery ICER 2023)—Taking Stock of Concept Inventories in Computing Education: A Systematic Literature Review. If you're interested in advancing programming education (especially in concept inventories or assessments), I'd love for you to check it out. Blog Post: https://lnkd.in/e6x3Vcvx Full Paper: https://lnkd.in/eT9uXE_w This was a team effort, and wouldn't have been possible without Sourojit Ghosh, Prerna Rao V, Raveena Dhegaskar, Mengqi Shi, Sophia Jawort, Alix Medler, and the guidance of my advisors Sayamindu Dasgupta and Cecilia Aragon. And of course, shoutout to Dan Garcia for spurring my interest in computing education all those years ago. I hope I can continue to work in it for many years to come. #education #programming #computersciencestudents

"Teaching introductory computer science classes has long posed a challenge for educators: How can students with vastly differing backgrounds all be taught effectively in a single class?" In a new paper published at the 2023 ACM Conference on International Computing Education Research, PhD student Murtaza Ali and other HCDE researchers explore Concept Inventories, a tool in STEM education that can help instructors identify specific misconceptions students hold about key concepts. Read Ali's blog post about this study here: https://lnkd.in/gSZu4nG7

For the STEM/CS Pedagogy enthusiasts in the crowd, a recommended read from Murtaza Ali et al. Key takeaways: * Content Inventories (think, multiple choice tests) are a highly effective tool to discover student misconceptions, when crafted and graded appropriately * Not enough work has been done to create CI's for early education, leaving a gap in young student's CS education * While it is known that "teaching to the language" creates a constantly moving target for educators, how we teach core concepts of CS is still evolving at enough of a rate that the CIs we rely on should be revisited every 5 years

"While high-tech resources are necessary and useful for practical applications and advanced topics, integrating low-tech approaches can improve critical-thinking skills and foster a solid foundation for students to explore computing pathways. Every student will not have access to a computer, a tablet, or the internet, and low-tech approaches to teaching computer science can ensure that those with limited access to technology can explore programming fundamentals." - Allen Antoine, M.Ed. #ComputerScience #education #teaching #learning #technology

In recent decades, technology education has undergone a remarkable transformation. What was once confined to basic computer skills has evolved into a mandate for coding proficiency, even starting as early as kindergarten in many states. This rapid evolution presents both challenges and opportunities for educators. While the field of computer science is dynamic, the core principles remain enduring. Check out the article below that explains the three essential strategies to help educators navigate this changing landscape effectively. #HertzFurniture #Education #Educators #Educator #Teachers #Teacher #Students #TechnologyEducation #ComputerScience #STEMEducation #EdTech #DigitalLearning #TeachingTech #EducationalTechnology #21stCenturySkills #TeacherTips

🎓Excited to share that I’ve completed the Computer Science 101 course from Stanford University through edX..! This course has deepened my understanding of fundamental computer science concepts and honed my programming skills. 💻Throughout the course, I explored key topics such as digital images, image code, software and hardware systems, and spreadsheets. 📊The problems and assignments challenged me to apply theoretical concepts to real-world scenarios, sharpening my practical skills along the way. 🌐This experience has broadened my horizons and equipped me with valuable skills that I can apply in my future endeavors. #StanfordUniversity #edX #ComputerScience #ContinuousGrowth #Programming #TechSkills #elearning
