Abstract: The Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine (LKCMedicine), an undergraduate medical school in Singapore formed from a partnership between Nanyang Technological University (Singapore) and Imperial College London (United Kingdom),
has been using Team-Based Learning (TBL) as one of its main teaching strategies
successfully for large student classes of up to 150 since its inception in 2014. Each
TBL session is led by an interdisciplinary faculty teaching team, which consists of
at least one ‘Content Expert’, who would have led the development of curriculum
for the particular session and who hence would have subject matter expertise, and a
‘TBL Facilitator’, who manages productive student discussions during TBL sessions
and provides pedagogical expertise before and during the educational sessions. This
chapter discusses and compares the perspectives of content and process experts from
the lens of the well-validated Teaching Perspectives Inventory. Using interview data
and quotes from both parties, this chapter will illustrate areas of convergence and
tension. In doing so, we provide a framework to enhance the teaching of science and
its professional application in a large, interactive and collaborative classroom.2020-01-01T00:00:00ZComputational methods for the assessment of empathic synchrony

Abstract: The synchronization of physiological signals between persons is a well-known proxy of empathy. However, it is also influenced by physiological and environmental factors that should be discriminated to correctly characterize the empathy component. We discuss a framework to compute synchrony and introduce physynch, an open-source package developed to easily replicate its computational procedures. We adopted physynch to study the synchrony of the electrodermal activity in 61 male-female dyads with different types of relationship: strangers (18 dyads), friends (23 dyads) and lovers (20 dyads). The findings confirm previous results on Heart Rate Variability synchrony and suggest that synchrony is influenced by the type of relationship and is stronger in dyads of strangers. physynch is made available for download and use for researchers interested in measuring physiological synchrony.2021-01-01T00:00:00ZEduBrowser : a multimodal automated monitoring system for co-located collaborative learning

Abstract: Majority of learning analytics systems are designed to monitor and analyze students’ online interactions during collaborative learning. In the case of co-located collaborative learning, student interactions take place in the physical space as well as online. While existing learning management systems provide specific logs and snapshots of students’ online responses that are automatically captured, the potential of insights that can be derived from students’ non-digital face-to-face interactions during collaborative discourse remains untapped. In this paper, we propose an architecture for data acquisition and processing from co-located face-to-face collaborative learning, designed to be scalable beyond dyadic and triadic collaborative learning and across different curricula. We outline the system design, current experience of deployment across 4 sessions of co-located collaborative learning sessions, as well as brief examples of acquired data.2019-01-01T00:00:00ZEndoplasmic reticulum - plasma membrane crosstalk mediated by the extended synaptotagmins

Title: Endoplasmic reticulum - plasma membrane crosstalk mediated by the extended synaptotagmins

Abstract: The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) possesses multiplicity of functions including protein synthesis, membrane lipid biogenesis, and Ca2+ storage and has broad localization throughout the cell. While the ER and most other membranous organelles are highly interconnected via vesicular traffic that relies on membrane budding and fusion reactions, the ER forms direct contacts with virtually all other membranous organelles, including the plasma membrane (PM), without membrane fusion. Growing evidence suggests that these contacts play major roles in cellular physiology, including the regulation of Ca2+ homeostasis and signaling and control of cellular lipid homeostasis. Extended synaptotagmins (E-Syts) are evolutionarily conserved family of ER-anchored proteins that tether the ER to the PM in PM PI(4,5)P2-dependent and cytosolic Ca2+-regulated manner. In addition, E-Syts possess a cytosolically exposed lipid-harboring module that confers the ability to transfer/exchange glycerolipids between the ER and the PM at E-Syts-mediated ER-PM contacts. In this chapter, the functions of ER-PM contacts and their role in non-vesicular lipid transport with special emphasis on the crosstalk between the two bilayers mediated by E-Syts will be discussed.2017-01-01T00:00:00Z
