TOEs are designed such that students do not know the questions they will be asked before the exam and the examiner has wide latitude in which questions to ask. SOEs by contrast, are those in which the questions are standardized for all students and they may or may not know the questions ahead of time. Students are also reported to have a positive attitude toward oral assessments, though a drawback of many of these studies is the anecdotal nature of much of this student feedback.
Given the resource-intensive nature of oral assessments, it is important to know objectively whether oral assessments facilitate student learning and knowledge retention; this will allow for informed decisions regarding resource allocation for this type of assessment.
This project evaluates the efficacy of a one-on-one oral assessment called the One2One in student learning of new material and the retention of this new knowledge in both the medium- and long-term. How students experience their learning is also a valuable metric for measuring the efficacy of an assessment method and so the perceived professional value and usefulness of the One2One was evaluated through the solicitation of student perspectives.
In the last 10 years, podcasting pre-recorded audio files that are downloaded by individuals and listened to largely on portable devices has become a wide-spread phenomenon in fields as disparate as entertainment and neuroscience.

Research has shown there is great potential to this new area Robinson and Ritzko ; McKinney et al but that there still remains questions regarding what format is the most useful in this setting Middleton Through a survey and focus group, parents identified benefits of participation in a forest nature program including increased time outdoors, play confidence, risk-taking opportunities, improved health, wellness and the developing seeds of environmental stewardship and reciprocity.
CIDA, As such, there is evidence in the literature of how interior design education programs design and deliver courses in interdisciplinary design practice. Seeking to remedy the gap, this research project proposes an exploratory study to identify long-term learning lessons from the Interdisciplinary Practices course in the Bachelor of Interior Design degree at Humber ITAL.
The objective is to help inform and introduce improvements to the course for future offerings. This research project explored students learning experience in Introduction to Managerial Accounting course, in particular the application of the new concepts introduced to students. The current student population that is enrolled in the course varies and comes from different degree programs offered by the Faculty of Business, so the level of understanding and grasping of accounting concepts varies significantly amongst the students.
Some of our students are non-accounting majors and struggle with this topic managerial accounting. Given the complexity of the subject matter, non-accounting students often fail to appreciate the relevance of the many aspects of the course content. Therefore, we see students struggling with the application of concepts in real case scenarios after it is introduced and discussed in class using traditional classroom techniques.
Case study method has been widely used as a teaching tool in various business disciplines Thomas, L. The case study approach enables students to apply concepts learned to practical business scenarios. Our proposed study was designed to determine a if students perceive mini-cases improve their learning experience; b if students perceive that mini-cases motivate them; c if students perceive they achieved higher outcomes with the mini-case approach.
By , the World Health Organization predicts depression to be the most common health problem in the world Brundland, The focus of this study is to deepen an understanding of how post-secondary institutions can build in preventative measures for student wellness. Ultimately, such initiatives could improve retention, increase graduation rates and advance student success. Each week, for four weeks, students engaged in three self-selected intentional activities.
The experimental group chose from a list of activities that have been reliably shown to increase positive emotions and the comparison group chose from a list of activities that have not been reliably shown to increase positive emotions.
The intent of this project was to discover if regular engagement in positive activities will increase the subjective sense of happiness among students. In their article Abodor and Daneshfar, 1. Abodor and Daneshfar, have referenced Jennings, , Thomson et al.

Students will then be able to observe the results of their decisions to such measures as EPS, sales and asset values. Ethical decisions are included as an integral part of decision-making. Student engagement levels are linked to satisfaction with learning events.
There is a large amount of research around student engagement and how the learning environment can improve learner engagement and participation levels. This project hypothesizes that increased student participation and engagement activities as measured by student contributions to class discussions, by questions asked in class, or by participation in group activities in class is positively correlated to academic success.
In order to paint a portrait of current entrepreneur teaching strategies at Ontario Colleges, this project will focus on entrepreneurship courses and specifically the entrepreneurial education taught in the Entrepreneurial Enterprise Post Graduate Program and will:.

But if Twitter, a popular social media platform, is incorporated into course work, can it help students to respond to and invest themselves in the learning materials of their courses.
The BAA-CJ program currently does not use the conflict simulator as a teaching tool within its curriculum. This project aimed to get a better sense of the prevalent conflict scenarios happening in current CJ professions and from there develop ecologically valid scenarios to be incorporated into CJ courses.

Determine if this technology enhances student engagement in course material; 2. If can be used as an evaluative tool to capture student learning of specific conflict skills. Professional identity is an important construct as it has been previously associated with retention, attrition, persistence, and knowledge construction.
This study hypothesized that levels of professional identity will increase across subsequent years in the program. The overarching goal is to identify if and when substantial changes to identity occurs, which can also be described as the point when students stop viewing themselves as students and start viewing themselves as professionals. In particular, the study investigated when professional identity emerges within an accounting program, and whether this differs between the diploma and degree programs at Humber.
