Disciplinary Intuitions / Six Learnings / Maker Motes: welcoming three college students to NTU's Undergraduate Research Experience on Campus (URECA) AY 2018 / 2019

further to my post five months’ ago, my team and i are really happy and privileged to welcome three college students to our projects offered under NTU’s Undergraduate Research Experience on Campus (URECA) programme for the Academic Year 2018 / 2019.

one of the students is from the School of Social Sciences, another is from the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, and the other is on the Teaching Scholars Programme.

the opportunity to participate in URECA is extended through invitation only to select second- and third-year undergraduates, who will subsequently be conferred as NTU President Research Scholars.

the projects we have offered are:

NIE18092 - Exploring the affordances of Augmented Reality with respect to the learning of science in undergraduate curriculum

NIE18137 - Exploring the affordances for learning of emerging technologies of augmentation and immersion in History education and / or Social Studies education

and

NIE18157 - Exploring authenticity in learning through robots

overseas guests to AGE08D Designing learning environments with a focus on the Internet of Things

i am very grateful that my team's General Elective AGE08D - Designing learning environments with a focus on the Internet of Things - has been able to benefit from the exchange of perspectives from overseas visitors.

last week, we were joined during our field investigations by Professor Michael Schratz, of the University of Innsbruck.

today, doctoral candidate Fabiano Kuss - from the Federal University of Parana - very generously took time to share his work on a learning platform specifically for use in resource- and infrastructure-poor learning environments.

obrigado, Fabiano!

congratulations to my PhD student for clearing his candidature confirmation seminar :-)

today was a very happy day for me.

my very first PhD student had a successful candidature confirmation seminar :-)

the thesis is titled A Study of the Development of Interest in Learning in a Maker-centered Learning Environment through the lens of Cultural Historical Activity Theory

i would like to thank the committee chair, the two reviewers, and my fellow supervisor for their support.

to God be the glory.

:-)
