Effects of two types of network diagrams on technical systems understanding of college-level aviation mechanic students
This quasi-experimental study provided an operational replication of the Satchwell and Johnson (1992) study and further explored the effect of functional flow diagrams on technical system understanding. This study addressed the following research questions: (1) Do functional flow diagrams increase …

Building (as) performance : a material approach to adaptive architecture
… is inherently an "immovable". Yet traditional mechanic devices allowing freedom of movement to an assembly have proven to be very expensive and often unreliable. This is in part due to their incompatibility with a building's use and lifespan. Thus, they are either implemented permanently at …

You Are Academia
… system of exponential growth. The core gameplay mechanic suggests that the fundamental purpose of current higher learning structures is meant to improve revenue and the quantity of works produced—not necessarily the quality of student education. This is a work of overt satire and takes roughly 20 …

Collaborative Learning with a Geometry Video Game: The Role of Elaboration and Game Design in Motivation and Learning
<p>The study examined the effects of a new game mechanic on collaborative learning and mathematical discourse when playing a digital geometry puzzle game. For this study, two new versions of the game “Noobs vs. Leets” were developed. Both versions of the game teach the concepts of complementary and …
