Abstract:
Background:The need for continuity in medical education with the advent of COVID -19, has been highlighted in light of the current global pandemic situation. As the risks posed by COVID -19 must be balanced against the need to care for patients and protect health care workers, cross-training of various health care professions is now more important than ever. In response to the global pandemic and in line with current practice, the Ministry of National Security, King Abdul-Aziz Medical City-Jeddah, has established a cross-training working task force comprising medical educational specialists from various specialtiesto develop an educational platform that includes up-to-date learning resources to provide healthcare professionals with the knowledge they need to treat critical, suspected, and confirmed COVID -19 patients.The main objective of this manuscript is to describe and discuss the implementation process of the cross-training modules. In addition, the manuscript aims to address the knowledge gap related to COVID -19 management by measuring the perceptions of medical students and healthcare professionals. Methods:A qualitative, descriptive study was conducted in the King Abdul-Aziz Medical City (KAMC) National Guard using the COVID -19 cross-training e-learning platform. The training participants were primarily physicians, then health care workers, students and interns from different universities (KSAU-HS) to be able to treat COVID -19 patients in different areas. This platform was equipped with all the necessary functions to create e-learning training courses. The content of the educational material was to be delivered using two main teaching methods: (1) Virtual learning modules consisting of basic and advanced courses. (2) Simulation-based instruction, consisting of computer-based and simulation manikin-based courses. First, a needs assessment survey was distributed to approximately 150 medical students and health professionals. Then, another self-assessment survey was distributed to approximately 1000 participants. Results: In the needs assessment survey, the majority of participants (22.3%) were from the Department of Internal Medicine. In the feedback survey, the majority of participants were from the Department of Nursing (15.7%). Overall, participants consider the Cross-Training Module/Unit Content & Structure to be adequate in terms of its purpose (P 0.908) results also indicate that participants are satisfied with the provisions (P 0.374) and that the Cross-Training was relevant and helpful to the circumscribed and included professions (P 0.731). Conclusion: As synthesis research, this study revealed the perceptions of health professionals and medical students regarding the implementation of an e-learning strategy for cross-training as a teaching tool. Participants indicated that the training program was most helpful because the course materials were strongly tailored to their areas of expertise.

Abstract:
Community health workers (CHWs) are health professionals that connect the populations they serve to health services. They play a valuable role in assessing patients’ needs, linking patients with health and human resources, educating patients toward achieving optimal health, and advocating for their patients to have accessible resources to improve their health and wellbeing. Pharmacies are readily accessible and frequently utilized health locations that could employ CHWs. We describe a program to cross-train pharmacy professionals as CHWs. Pharmacy professionals were recruited to sign up for a 13-week CHW core competencies course that was offered in partnership with the state university Continuing Education Workforce Training. From March 2022 to June 2023, 23 pharmacy professionals completed the course. Post-course and program evaluations were completed by 10 participants, and they showed positive responses to their participation in the program. Participants appreciated learning the role of a CHW, and noted increased skills, and awareness of additional tools and resources. Participants reported 47 referrals to chronic disease programs and community resources. The program pilot results show successful partnerships for cross-training pharmacy professionals as CHWs. Cross-trained pharmacy professionals provide benefits to the communities they serve, by being a valuable resource for their patients.

Abstract:
In contrast to the number of training programs that have been developed to promote multicultural awareness, knowledge, and skills, relatively few training programs exist to develop cross-national cultural competencies. This article describes an innovative combination of utilizing a semester-long preparatory seminar course where students are first introduced to the history and cultural context of Taiwan, and then engage in an intensive 12-day immersion program in Taiwan. Specifically, this article describes (a) our Cross-Cultural Immersion Program (CCIP), (b) a preparatory course designed to provide basic cultural information about Taiwan, and (c) a 12-day immersion experience model. Subsequently, learning outcomes are discussed within the major theoretical dimensions of the Cross-National Cultural Competence (CNCC) model, followed by a discussion of the pedagogical implications for training and research. Future educators must move our classrooms into the rich learning environments that cultural immersions provide.

Abstract:
The article considers the peculiarities of cross-disciplinary educational programs in various foreign educational institutions. Emphasis is placed on reforming the education system using a cross-disciplinary model of education in accordance with international standards and labor market requirements. The experience of implementing a cross- disciplinary approach in different specialties has been analyzed. Ways to equalize additional skills that are not provided by educational programs, using a cross-disciplinary approach have been outlined. The importance of using a cross-disciplinary approach as the main part of interdisciplinary studying has been emphasized. The necessity of using cross- disciplinary studying as an integral part of innovative educational techniques has been highlighted. Cross-disciplinarity is described as one of the main integrative teaching methods. Clear definitions of concepts of cross-disciplinarity, multidisciplinarity, and transdisciplinarity have been given. Cross-disciplinary approaches in educational programs at Brown University (Rhode Island, USA), Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University (Rhode Island, USA), Vienna University of Applied Arts (Universität für angewandte Wunst Wienst), IT University of Copenhagen (Copenhagen, Denmark), Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou), Roberts Wesleyan College (Rochester, NY), Harvard Graduate School of Education (Cambridge, MA) have been analyzed. Special attention has been paid to the Scholarly Concentrations program; a long- term mentoring program based on cross-disciplinary approach that covers all four years of study at Alpert Medical School. It is an optional element of the curriculum that provides students with additional opportunities to develop the skills and abilities through research, scientific and extracurricular experience in one of the twelve areas of science concentration.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to find whether cross training could improve male adolescent rugby skills. Three major sports (soccer, basketball and wrestling) were selected to form the base of the cross training intervention program. Pre- and post-tests were performed with the entire rugby squad (24 participants) prior to and at the conclusion of the intervention program. After pre-testing, the participants were grouped into either the intervention (12) or the control group (12). Supervised cross training sessions were performed twice a week for 10 weeks as well as traditional rugby training twice a week for 10 weeks with the intervention group. The control group performed supervised conventional rugby training twice a week for 10 weeks. All participants (24) played in a rugby match once a week during the 10 week period of the study.

Full text
Abstract:
AbstractCross-platform power/performance prediction is becoming increasingly important due to the rapid development and variety of software and hardware architectures in an era of heterogeneous multi-core. However, accurate power/performance prediction is faced with an obstacle caused by the large gap between architectures, which is often overcome by laborious and time-consuming fine-grained program profiling on the target platform. To overcome these problems, this paper introduces $$CP^3$$ C P 3 , a hierarchical Cross-platform Power/Performance Prediction framework, which focuses on utilizing architecture differences to migrate built models to target platforms. The core of $$CP^3$$ C P 3 is the three-step hierarchical transfer learning approach, hierarchical division, partial transfer learning, and model fusion, respectively. $$CP^3$$ C P 3 firstly builds a power/performance model on the source platform, then rebuilds it with the reduced training data on the target platform, and finally obtains a cross-platform model. We validate the effectiveness of $$CP^3$$ C P 3 using a group of benchmarks on X86- and ARM-based platforms that use three different types of commonly used processors. Evaluation results show that when applying $$CP^3$$ C P 3 , only 1% of the baseline training data is required to achieve high cross-platform prediction accuracy, with power prediction error being only 0.65%, and performance prediction error being only 4.64%.

Abstract:
AbstractThe Application Program Interface (API) plays an important role as the channel for data interaction between programs, while the widespread use of APIs has brought security risks that cannot be ignored. The adversary can perform various Web attacks, including SQL Injection and Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), by tampering with the parameters of API. Efficient detection of parameter tampering attacks for API is critical to ensure the system is running in the expected condition, further avoiding data leakage and property loss. Previous works always utilize the rule-based method or simple learning-based method to detect parameter tampering attacks. However, they ignore the contextual information of the API tokens and thus have a poor performance. In this paper, we propose the Context-based Malicious Parameter Detection (CMPD) framework to detect the parameter tampering attacks for APIs. We use a neural network language model to learn the distribution of the parameters, parameter names, and URLs and then use a tree model to detect the malicious query based on the high dimensional API embedding. Experiments show that CMPD outperforms all baseline, including rule-based method, Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Autoencoder, on CSIC 2010 dataset with $$F_1$$ F 1 value reaching 0.971. CMPD can also achieve a 0.895 $$F_1$$ F 1 value when training data is reduced to 20% and can achieve a 0.910 $$F_1$$ F 1 value when negative examples are reduced to 1%.

Abstract:
Iannis Xenakis is mostly known as a music composer, but he was actually many things and thought of himself as being formed of a ‘mosaic of coherences’. Xenakis possessed an enormous capacity to absorb a wide range of information, and to apply these inputs to his creative and technical work. Engineering is a discipline where a rigorous training in foundational skills such as mathematics is allied with practical applications. In the realm of Western music, the cross-fertilization with other disciplines became quite restricted. While Music had been one of the foundational elements of Western education (the Quadrivium), the increasingly elaborate techniques being explored in Western music made it more hermetic. For Xenakis, however, his engineering background made it more natural for him to adapt tools and approaches from other disciplines. The transferal of ideas had the effect of creating highly original music: a) The geometrical principles underlying hyperbolic paraboloids as they were being explored in architecture turned into a web of string glissandi in Metastasis (1954); b) the probability functions used in risk analysis were applied to generative applications in creating complex, granular ‘clouds’ of sound in Pithoprakta (1956); c) the detailed understanding of computer programming as well as the intricacies of linking software to digital audio-oriented computer hardware led to a unique graphical-based synthesis system, UPIC, and a series of compositions created using this system, beginning with Mycènes Alpha (1978). His engineering background also supported his ability to develop unique multimedia presentations involving digitally controlled lighting systems with hundreds of flashbulbs and laser displays guided by movable mirrors. Perhaps the epitome of Xenakis’s meta-materiality is his Diatope (1978), a work combining architecture, music with spatialization, lights, and a program text combining philosophy, history, and aesthetics. He had combined elements of this work in previous productions, mainly in his Polytopes (Montréal 1967, Persepolis 1971, Cluny 1972-74, Mycenae 1978). Elements of the music and lighting had appeared earlier, but the opportunity to create the architectural home for the work was unique. For Xenakis the polymath, it was natural to draw concepts and techniques into his creative work from various disciplines. The advice from Olivier Messiaen to his young student who had very little traditional background or training in music proved prescient: ‘I encouraged him to use his mathematical and architectural knowledge in his own music and not to worry about melodic – harmonic – contrapuntal – rhythmic problems’. Of course, these elements are core to whatever music is being created, but the techniques for handling them can come from musical traditions or from other disciplines. The meta-materiality of Xenakis’s work is fundamental to his truly original contributions.

Abstract:
This chapter explores language education in translation and interpreting (TI) programs through the lens of linguistic multi-competence. In doing so, language learning and teaching in the multilingual foreign language classroom are considered as a multisensory, multimodal, multidirectional, and multidimensional adaptation process and an acculturation process with emphasis on the students’ agency. The purpose of this chapter is to stress the importance of addressing and pedagogically adopting new linguistic concepts such as translanguaging or translinguistics in translator and interpreter training. New developments in the discipline of modern translation studies (TS) which reconfigure and redefine the field by adopting a cross-disciplinary perspective lend themselves well to blending with critical, empowering plurilingual pedagogies in higher education.

Abstract:
AbstractNew employment demands of a burgeoning Indian software service industry are spawning neo-educational structures, especially in the domain of data sciences through vibrant market mechanisms offering a scalable and industry-focused learning system. Since the 1990s, Indian software firms have developed expertise in carrying out outsourced back-office tasks and mid-level IT services like data entry, managing call centres, and performing software quality testing for foreign companies taking advantage of a technically trained local workforce. The trend of automating manual work practices in the IT industry has generated a different kind of demand for data sciences directed at upskilling and job readiness. India is witnessing a market-oriented groundswell of data science and IT skill tutoring ‘shops’, resituating science and engineering education. In this chapter we report from ethnographic research conducted in two IT skill training parks to underpin arguments about emerging neo-educational learning structures suited to a data science education for new livelihood opportunities in an IT-accredited India. Our chapter makes a case for looking at ‘data studies’ from an ethnographic perspective uncovering a ‘program’ of upward mobility through IT skilling and employment. What directions might data studies about tutoring data science skills in the Indian context lead to? Excerpts presented here from field research imagine new livelihoods, aspirations, and technology skills that are more often than not a reflection of the power of data science education.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter offers an overview of climate change education strategies across four distinct educational stages in Africa, focusing on the proposed frameworks tailored for each level. Rather than analysing the current state of climate change teaching, it introduces innovative approaches designed to enhance educational practices and outcomes. These frameworks were developed to provide adaptable solutions that can be customized to meet the specific needs of different educational contexts within the continent. The Pre-Primary Education framework encompasses childhood awareness, nature activities, environmental stewardship, social media showcase, behaviour impact, and attitude shifts. Primary schools prioritize integrative methods, cohesive teaching blueprints, hurdle addressing, educator development, and hands-on guidance. At the post-secondary level, the framework emphasizes the importance of academic research, specialized courses, climate research labs, industry project collaborations, and active engagement in Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Technical Societies such as Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). The framework within Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions encompasses the integration of syllabus incorporation, experiential education, cross-disciplinary methodology, industrial collaborations, pedagogical enhancement, climate-adaptive competencies, stimulating innovations, assessment and oversight, international collaboration, and vocational counsel. Secondary schools emphasize the integration of different disciplines, specialized elective courses, discussions about the benefits, evaluation of the impact of electives, functionality of extracurricular activities, and outstanding achievements. The conclusion emphasizes the crucial significance of climate change education at all levels, with future directions focusing on policy modifications, research, and continuous endeavours. Suggestions involve integrating visual aids, such as charts and graphs, to demonstrate the progress of climate change education programs and measures such as school acceptance rates, student engagement, and influence on awareness. This framework offers customized strategies for each educational level with the goal of developing an ecologically aware generation capable of tackling the intricate challenges of climate change in Africa.

Abstract:
Digital resilience refers to the adaptive capacity for overcoming the challenges of the digital landscape. It encompasses the ability to effectively respond to and recover from adverse online experiences, demonstrating mental agility and digital competencies. We developed a program „Digital Resilience and Networking“ under the Erasmus+ project „Enhancing digital and psychological resilience through peer networking in the online environment in times of crisis“. This paper describes the layout and implementation of the program: the piloting phase (implemented in hybrid mode in the English language at three partner universities from Serbia, Poland, and Italy), the evaluation, and its implementation in Serbian language (national training, held fully online). We prepared a questionnaire to evaluate the effects of the course and cross-analyzed the training session evaluation (international pilot – 35 feedback records, and national training – 32 records). The evaluation showed high ratings for both phases, revealing significant differences between them. Furthermore, a strong correlation was found between participants’ satisfaction with the program’s implementation and their perceived skill acquisition. These results offer valuable insights into the efficacy of the program in enhancing digital resilience skills and emphasize the significance of well-implemented courses for optimal learning outcomes.

Abstract:
Abstract E&amp;P technology in the energy transition era is more rapidly progressed because of various innovations from other industries, digital transformation, and broader knowledge sharing from other industrial sectors. Therefore, skills of engineers in frontline: namely employees in operating companies (OPCO) will have deeper impacts on project values. To uplift their technical competency, this paper discussed how to maximize leaning/training program values and provide the opportunities from long term perspective as a part of holistic talent development management system. In-house leaning/training courses and/or commercial training programs, which have been commonly provided, will not be sufficient for pursuing competitive level in future as long as the knowledge sharing opportunities are limited to in-house or generalized contents for maximum numbers of demand. Thus, the opportunities are unlimited by incorporating additional seminar/training courses, offered from stakeholders: an asset lead in particular, into the OPCO's youth development plan (YDP) to be more effectively provided from many viewpoints of participant adequateness (discipline, technical interest, maximum number of attendees), annual schedule planning, and interactive feedback to improve the programs. INPEX/JODCO, an asset lead international oil company (IOC) responsibly developing concession of the Abu Dhabi offshore field, has been operating domestic oil/gas fields and an abroad giant LNG project, furthermore, managing various non-operating projects all over the world. From all the projects, therefore, many types of knowledge-sharing seeds have been gathered to prepare seminar/training contents and lecturers via the IOC's corporate technical division while taking OPCO's demands into account. Dozens of programs have been offered since 2018 for various disciplines. One of them: the JODCO Drilling Academy (JDA), providing total 61 courses as of November 2022 covering major drilling &amp; completion related topics is recognized as the most successful contribution. A cycle from seminar planning, execution, feedbacks, and updating are established to work as a cross-collaborative talent development management system.

Abstract:
The disastrous earthquake of 12 May, 2008 had its greatest impact on the Qiang people, an ethnic minority living in the mountainous regions of Sichuan at the earthquake’s epicentre. Over 80,000 people died, over a million were injured or missing, most buildings collapsed and most homes were demolished under the avalanches. Thousands of children were evacuated to safety, some moved to far distant locations. The research team from the University of Newcastle responded to the plea of the Qiang leaders to help the children. In cooperation with the China-Australia Centre for Cross-Cultural Studies, a three stage psycho-cultural research program was devised, comprising a survey of children’s current caregivers, interviews with the children, and development of a culturally appropriate rehabilitation scheme. Shuguang Wang was appointed to coordinate the project. This paper discusses the research issues involved. Of paramount importance was the collectivist nature of the Qiang culture and the traditional ways of dealing with disasters. Theoretical issues related to the relevance of western individualistic psychological and psychiatric approaches to therapy in the Qiang collectivist environment. Methodological problems related to developing appropriate measuring instruments, and preparing guidelines and training programs for local Qiang interviewers and volunteers.

Abstract:
Abstract A cylinder in cross flow has been studied by many prior authors as a test case for computational fluid dynamics (CFD). We modified an existing case study for a cylinder in cross flow in an open source CFD program. Once the CFD model was working, we developed a physics-informed machine learning version for benchmarking. The machine learning code was validated using two existing sets of data from the literature for other systems. Our research question is focused on understanding how well a physics-informed neural net for the Navier Stokes equations represent the behavior of complex flow around a cylinder. After the neural net model was validated, we used data from the CFD tool for a cylinder in cross flow to test the performance of the neural net. We compared velocities and stream functions to the original CFD solution to assess performance. The results indicate the physics-informed machine learning model is computationally efficient and accurate for predicting the basic flow shapes. The number of training data points is very important for predicting major flow behavior. The machine learning model did not perform well for transfer learning in our study, failing to predict the key wakes. Future work will confirm how responsive the machine learning model is to variations in the input data, and different methods of providing a sparse training set.

Full text
Abstract:
The transit sector has begun to embrace apprenticeships as a worthwhile training model. Apprenticeships may also address young people’s interest in career advancement opportunities, an additional benefit to the transit sector as it replaces an aging workforce and resolves other recruitment challenges. Apprenticeships that emphasize both technical and soft skills invest in career advancement by offering employees the chance to develop “cross-cutting competencies.” A highly developed model of this approach is found in the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority Joint Workforce Initiative (JWI), which formally recognizes skills acquisition with accredited certificates. Further development of this model would find support in initiatives to restructure postsecondary education in ways that better integrate non-degree and degree programs. Those efforts are gaining strength in response to persistent non-completion rates and declining college wealth premiums. This study contextualizes the JWI’s strengths within the revival of non-degree credentials fueled by efforts like the California Guided Pathways Program. It identifies the JWI as a good candidate for pathways that lead to a degree. Drawing on guidelines for connecting job training with degree programs, the study details the importance of affordability, portability, and articulation and outlines how these features could be further developed in the JWI.

Abstract:
The authors partnered with school districts, tutoring providers, and quarterback organizations that support implementation of high-impact tutoring across districts in the United States to learn from their efforts in implementing tutoring. This cross-district implementation study shares a snapshot of lessons learned about common barriers to implementing highly-effective programs and the ways that districts have overcome these barriers with success. Interviewees included administrators, teachers, tutors, and other program staff from nine school districts and one charter management organization, seven tutoring providers, and six quarterback organizations that support implementation across districts. One finding is that funding and belief in the potential of tutoring are two key facilitators for the implementation of high-impact tutoring. Moreover, some of the challenges identified are related to tutor recruitment and training, data use, the scheduling of tutoring during the school day, student attendance and school-level buy-in.

Engineer Research and Development Center (U.S.), 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.21079/11681/41302.

Full text
Abstract:
Deep learning (DL) has attracted the attention of computational toxicologists as it offers a potentially greater power for in silico predictive toxicology than existing shallow learning algorithms. However, contradicting reports have been documented. To further explore the advantages of DL over shallow learning, we conducted this case study using two cell-based androgen receptor (AR) activity datasets with 10K chemicals generated from the Tox21 program. A nested double-loop cross-validation approach was adopted along with a stratified sampling strategy for partitioning chemicals of multiple AR activity classes (i.e., agonist, antagonist, inactive, and inconclusive) at the same distribution rates amongst the training, validation and test subsets. Deep neural networks (DNN) and random forest (RF), representing deep and shallow learning algorithms, respectively, were chosen to carry out structure-activity relationship-based chemical toxicity prediction. Results suggest that DNN significantly outperformed RF (p &lt; 0.001, ANOVA) by 22–27% for four metrics (precision, recall, F-measure, and AUPRC) and by 11% for another (AUROC). Further in-depth analyses of chemical scaffolding shed insights on structural alerts for AR agonists/antagonists and inactive/inconclusive compounds, which may aid in future drug discovery and improvement of toxicity prediction modeling.

Full text
Abstract:
The computer game "The Way to a secure Internet" was created by teachers of the MDOU "D/ s № 73" of Magnitogorsk on the cross-platform environment for the development of Unity computer programs. The game is aimed at older preschool children. It is aimed at the formation of life skills of students in the information society in order to ensure the information security of children. The main educational material is the selection of rules for safe behavior when using the Internet information network by students, taking into account the peculiarities of children's perception of information. The plot of the game situation and the algorithm of sequential actions of the user in order to move from one level to another suggest the following stages of the educational course and, accordingly, game tasks for the player: get and assimilate information about the dangers on the Internet, listen (read) the rule about safe behavior on the Internet, get acquainted with the game situation, choose the right solution, applying the rule about safe behavior on the Internet. The introductory information contains options for dangerous situations in which a child may find himself in the real world with incorrect communication on the Internet. The information included in the training information introduces preschoolers to the rules of safe behavior on the Internet. The control of the assimilation of educational material is presented at the game level of solving a problem situation. When choosing an answer, the game reality is realized in one of two directions: the correct answer - the training material is learned – the player moves to the next level; the wrong answer – the training material is not learned – the player returns to the level of familiarity with the rule. The system of criteria for evaluating user behavior during the implementation of an interactive game is expressed in the accumulation of bonuses (presented in the form of stars that appear on the playing field in the process of solving game problems).

Full text
Abstract:
Millions of people around the world do not have access to adequate sanitation facilities, undermining progress towards Sustainable Development Goal 6.2 that calls for adequate and equitable sanitation for all. Efforts to improve sanitation outcomes have been rapidly accelerated in the past decade alongside an expansion of different financial incentives or subsidies to promote access to services and motivate sanitation behaviour. In parallel, social protection has become part and parcel of development policy, with many low- and middle-income countries now offering some form of cash transfers to those most vulnerable. Comprehensive interventions that couple financial transfers with complementary support such as behaviour change communication, training, or coaching have also grown increasingly popular. Despite similarities between water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) subsidy schemes and social protection interventions, these policy areas have largely developed in silos and limited cross-sectoral learning has taken place. This paper begins to fill this knowledge gap by assessing the potential for comprehensive social protection in addressing sanitation outcomes and drawing out policy implications for the social protection and WASH communities. It does so by focusing on a social protection programme in the context of extreme poverty in rural Haiti.

Full text
Abstract:
Brief Description Innovative methods need to be integrated into public health thinking to accelerate change, a belief that led to the creation of our public health innovation cohorts. 11 participants were taught new ways of approaching problems and how to test with pilots. Thematic and network analysis of interviews, along with a 2-year follow-up, revealed an enduring shift in approach to problem-solving within their work. Background Public health tends to be siloed and reactive in solving new and existing problems. Innovation and the development of novel approaches requires cross-sectoral collaboration and thinking. The intentional development of new ideas and actionable programs is key to responding to emerging challenges. Immersive Innovation Labs is a guided approach to innovation focused on multidisciplinary collaboration and the creation of actionable solutions. Methods 11 public health professionals and 12 student coaches participated in a 10-day Public Health Innovation Summit. Collaborative learning sessions, research, and guided innovation sessions were accompanied by interviews to gauge participant’s knowledge about and attitudes toward developing and implementing innovative solutions within the public health field. Interviews were analyzed for common themes using AI and influential concepts were identified using network analysis software. Follow-up interviews were conducted with participants and coaches 2 years later to determine the impact that the innovation training had on their careers and approach to problem-solving. Results Participants of the summit developed 11 pilot programs. 28 interviews and a post-summit feedback session revealed a shift in topical focus by betweenness centrality. Prior to the summit, participants focused on public health programming and actions (top 43% most influential nodes). After completing the innovation summit, participants shifted focus away from public health (top 6% most influential nodes) to the impact these techniques would have in their workplace, the creative approaches to problem-solving, and the new connections made during the summit. Conclusion Immersive Innovative Labs is an effective methodology for reframing the approach public health professionals have to solve new and existing problems. Guided coaching and cross-sectoral collaboration lead to innovation, producing new approaches and ideas. This technique has been effective in shaping mindsets beyond the session and has meaningfully impacted the careers of participants.

Full text
Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak affected most universities, and it severely disrupted their face-to-face teaching and learning processes. The University of Gondar (UoG) and the University of Rwanda (UR) were no exceptions. Before the pandemic, E-learning was not an education norm in both institutions. Education was mainly face-to-face, inside a four-wall classroom experience. As COVID-19 restricted such experience, the two universities adopted a range of online platforms to support teaching, learning, and access to learning resources. Across the globe, E-learning solutions promise institutional resilience and innovative teaching and learning activities in tertiary education – but only if their development is embedded within enabling institutional culture, structure, policy, and processes. Against this backdrop, we designed a study to explore leadership and policy perspectives, institutional contexts, potentials/prospects, challenges, and best practices of educational digital solutions. In this exploratory study, we used accessibility and inclusivity as key motifs to frame discussions of results. We used a cross-sectional design and employed qualitative methods to collect data, i.e., document reviews, key informant interviews, and focus group discussions. We adopted a descriptive thematic analysis procedure to organize, analyze, and interpret the data. Overall, the results indicate that education leaders, faculty, and students were not equipped to smoothly transition from face-to-face learning to e-learning in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. Not only meeting technological requirements, the accelerated deployment of E-learning tools implied a change in pedagogy. We found that institutional policies were not designed to fully accommodate the change (except for some guidelines proposed during COVID-19). The lack of an e-learning strategy and resource limitations have hindered and continue to impact e-learning uptake in both institutions. We also found that poor internet connectivity, lack of tech devices and software, inadequate leadership commitment, power interruptions or outages, inadequate pedagogical training, low community perception, and poor administrative and technical skills are the challenges of the two institutions to effectively manage full-fledged e-learning programs. These challenges were usually amplified by the nature of national, local, and institutional contexts (e.g., a multi-campus, multi-college setting of UR and a war outbreak in northern Ethiopia). Noting that face-to-face education is still seen as premium, there is a need for a blended approach to e-learning and policies that would improve accessibility to and affordability of E-resources to diverse groups of staff and students. With varying degrees, we found that the two institutions are engaging in activities to promote e-learning. For instance, groups of e-learning Champions are advocating in both institutions for engagements in accelerated change efforts (be it on an e-learning platform, capacity building, access devices, and strategy). Both institutions have units that coordinate e-learning uptake and ensure its inclusivity. Both institutions could also benefit from increased governmental and development partners’ attention to the possibility and support of digital education. However, the issue of social equity and e-learning ecosystem management remains paramount in launching e-learning programs. In sum, we observed that e-learning is still in its nascent stages at both institutions although not at the same level. Their respective e-learning initiatives must integrate global best practices and specific local contexts and priorities. This requires that state and institutional leaders embrace and encourage co-creation, knowledge, and expertise sharing among institutions in low-resource and similar settings.
