- How Remote Labs Impact on Course Outcomes: Various Practices Using VISIRPublication . Marques, Maria A.; Viegas, Maria Clara; Costa-Lobo, Maria Cristina; Fidalgo, André Vaz; Alves, Gustavo R.; Rocha, Joao S.; Gustavsson, IngvarAs technology is increasingly being seen as a fa- cilitator to learning, open remote laboratories are increasingly available and in widespread use around the world. They provide some advantages over traditional hands-on labs or simulations. This paper presents the results of integrating the open remote laboratory VISIR into several courses, in various contexts and using various methodologies. These integrations, all related to higher education engineering, were designed by teachers with different perspectives to achieve a range of learning outcomes. The degree to which these VISIR-related outcomes were accomplished is discussed. The results reect the levels of student engagement and learning and of teacher involvement. From the analysis, a connection between these two aspects was traced, although only related to the user proles. VISIR is shown to be always of benet for more motivated students, but this benet can be maximized under particular conditions and characteristics.
- Multimodal Narratives in Research and Teaching PracticesPublication . Lopes, J. Bernardino; Viegas, Maria Clara; Pinto, José AlexandreWhile already validated by the scientific community, multimodal narratives have the potential for a broader application, especially for improved teaching practices from a professional or a theoretical point of view. Applying multimodal narratives within professional development courses creates a focus on the teaching practices rather than the content itself. Multimodal Narratives in Research and Teaching Practices provides educator and researcher perspectives on the use of multimodal narratives as a tool to reflect and improve teaching practices. Covering such topics as professional development, online learning, and teacher education, this publication is designed for educators, academicians, administrators, and researchers.
- Understanding the Importance of Students' Assessment and Feedback With Multimodal NarrativesPublication . Viegas, Maria Clara; Cruz, Eliane de SouzaMultimodal narratives give insight of a classroom, teacher mediation, and students' work. In this chapter, the authors use this facility to better understand the importance of assessment and feedback in classroom practice. The analysis of excerpts from two complete multimodal narratives made it possible to highlight the importance of teacher intentions regarding the assessment process, the chosen tasks, and the subsequent feedback. It also provided an inside perspective of what was actually implemented in the classroom and how different teacher mediation leads to different results. These identifications in teaching mediation and students' involvement emerge transversally regarding teaching levels or contexts as objects of reflection, illustration, or simply inspiration. This shows the importance this tool can have in education by addressing parallel and complementary aspects of a classroom, which makes it a powerful tool in teaching.
