‘Feed-Forward: Exploring The Staff And Student Experience Of Technology Facilitated Feedback - Can Technology Support And Engage Staff And Students In Dialogic Feedback?’, R Lowes, E Purnell, Helen Bowstead Jan 2015

‘Feed-Forward: Exploring The Staff And Student Experience Of Technology Facilitated Feedback - Can Technology Support And Engage Staff And Students In Dialogic Feedback?’, R Lowes, E Purnell, Helen Bowstead

School of Law, Humanities and Social Sciences

Aims of project: to explore the use of new feedback processes within four module groups in the Plymouth Business School; to evaluate how two of the institutionally provided learning technologies, Moodle and PebblePad, could support and enhance the online feedback experience for staff/students.Background/context to project: ELC101, ELC201, ELC305 and ELC307 are four English language modules where we seek to develop students’ capacity to self-regulate and develop strategies for autonomous learning, in order to further the development of their English language skills. We have noted over the years that students do not seem to engage with feedback as much as we …


Classification Of Accelerometer Wear And Non-Wear Events In Seconds For Monitoring Free-Living Physical Activity, Shang Ming Zhou, Rebecca A. Hill, Kelly Morgan, Gareth Stratton, Mike B. Gravenor, Gunnar Bijlsma, Sinead Brophy Jan 2015

Classification Of Accelerometer Wear And Non-Wear Events In Seconds For Monitoring Free-Living Physical Activity, Shang Ming Zhou, Rebecca A. Hill, Kelly Morgan, Gareth Stratton, Mike B. Gravenor, Gunnar Bijlsma, Sinead Brophy

School of Nursing and Midwifery

ObjectiveTo classify wear and non-wear time of accelerometer data for accurately quantifying physical activity in public health or population level research.DesignA bi-moving-window-based approach was used to combine acceleration and skin temperature data to identify wear and non-wear time events in triaxial accelerometer data that monitor physical activity.SettingLocal residents in Swansea, Wales, UK.Participants50 participants aged under 16 years (n=23) and over 17 years (n=27) were recruited in two phases: phase 1: design of the wear/non-wear algorithm (n=20) and phase 2: validation of the algorithm (n=30).MethodsParticipants wore a triaxial accelerometer (GeneActiv) against the skin surface on the wrist (adults) or ankle (children). …

Knowledge, Information, And Water Treatment Behavior Of Residents In The Kathmandu Valley, Nepal, Hari Katuwal, Mona K. Qassim, José A. Pagán, Jennifer A. Thacher, Alok K. Bohara Jan 2015

Knowledge, Information, And Water Treatment Behavior Of Residents In The Kathmandu Valley, Nepal, Hari Katuwal, Mona K. Qassim, José A. Pagán, Jennifer A. Thacher, Alok K. Bohara

Development Journal of the South

Access to safe drinking water plays a crucial role in the overall social and economic development of a community. Unsafe water delivered to household taps increases the risks of waterborne diseases and threatens population health. Consumers can adopt a number of averting behaviors such as filtering or boiling their water. While these approaches are effective in reducing the likelihood of contracting a waterborne disease, not all households treat their water. Given this, it is important to develop a better understanding of factors that influence water treatment behavior. In this paper, we examine determinants of water treatment behavior using survey data …


Spousal-Differences In Perception Of Female Autonomy In Household Decision-Making In Nepal, Sharmistha Self Jan 2015

Spousal-Differences In Perception Of Female Autonomy In Household Decision-Making In Nepal, Sharmistha Self

Development Journal of the South

The primary objective of this paper is to see how spouses differ in terms of their perception of female autonomy in household decision-making in Nepal and the factors that influence these perceptions. Understanding the perception of female autonomy is important in general but particularly so for developing countries with traditional male-dominated and well-defined patriarchal roles in society. In general, the results seem to converge between men and women when it comes to perception of female autonomy in non-economic decision making but not when it relates to decision-making in economic matters. The results have important policy implications.
