Research Report D-Think: Design Thinking Applied to Education and Training

Research Report D-Think: Design Thinking Applied to Education and Training | Daily Newspaper | Scoop.it
This Research Report is the result of the first phase of the D-Think project, the research about Design Thinking and its application in Education and Training, providing a baseline for the next stages of the project: the creation of the D-Think toolkit and a D-Think m-learning course, both in development and testing until August 2017.
Nicola's curator insight, June 7, 2016 5:52 AM
So excited to see the first result of the D-Think project. Transversal skills such as the ability to think creatively and critically, take initiative, and work collaboratively for common goals, are essential to guarantee a qualified and entrepreneurial workforce. Many academic organisations are calling attention to the need for urgent changes in curricula and learning methods demanded by transformation in an increasingly technological world.

Polymer Interfaces: Synthetic Strategies Enabling Functionality, Adaptivity, and Spatial Control - Macromolecules (ACS Publications)

Polymer Interfaces: Synthetic Strategies Enabling Functionality, Adaptivity, and Spatial Control - Macromolecules (ACS Publications) | Daily Newspaper | Scoop.it
Polymer interfaces are ubiquitous in Nature and technology. Equipping artificial polymer-based interfaces with highly defined functions requires advanced macromolecular chemistry and powerful chemical tools. In this Perspective, we explore the nature of anisotropic—i.e., spatially resolved—polymer interfaces prepared via top-down and bottom-up approaches with selected examples from the recent literature.

Teaching psychology to student nurses: the use of ‘Talking Head’ videos | Snelgrove | Research in Learning Technology

Teaching psychology to student nurses: the use of ‘Talking Head’ videos | Snelgrove | Research in Learning Technology | Daily Newspaper | Scoop.it
Psychology is a central part of undergraduate nursing curricula in the UK. However, student nurses report difficulties recognising the relevance and value of psychology. We sought to strengthen first-year student nurses’ application of psychology by developing a set of digital stories based around ‘Talking Head’ video clips where authentic patients relate their experiences of illness and nursing care.
