ABSTRACTAn ongoing, structured, low-intensity exercise program designed to foster physical, social and cognitive functioning was evaluated in 128 seniors ranging in age from 55 to 101 years. The sample included individuals residing in the general community, seniors' apartment complexes and institutional care facilities. Participation in other exercises was found to increase since joining the program. The program appeared to be providing an opportunity for social interaction among participants, and the exercises appeared to be mentally stimulating. Implications for program modifications, including building in self-monitoring procedures, are discussed.

Abstract Introduction Engaging pediatric burn survivors in necessary range of motion exercises can be challenging. For younger children, difficulty understanding the reasoning behind prescribed exercises, fear and anxiety can all lead to refusal to participate. Traditional rote range of motion exercises do not engage the child’s sense of curiosity and adventure and seem more like medicine than play. We have developed a range of motion exercise program based on well-known superhero actions. For children who need to address active wrist extension and digit extension, they become “Iron Man” (Example included), “Hulk Smash” lets us work on grip and active composite flexion while becoming “Spiderman” encourages digit isolation. “Superman”, “Wonder Woman” and “Batman” allow utilization of total body movements but can be focus on shoulder flexion or abduction and cross body movements. Methods Traditional superhero movements were assessed to determine similarity to traditional therapy exercises. Exercises were drawn with the extremities performing the desired movements. Pediatric patients are introduced to these exercises and encouraged to act out the superhero movements with therapist directing the desired end range and directionality of movements. Results These characters are well known and loved by pediatric patients. In many instances, a fearful patient may become an active therapy participant through these engaging activities. Goal attainment becomes more fun and less when children are engaged in a purposeful play task. Caregivers can carry these exercises well beyond the therapy session to encourage day long exercise which is essential for contracture prevention and remediation. A recent feedback comment from the parent of a 4-year-old burn survivor specifically focused on these exercises. “Absolutely phenomenal. The therapist did “superhero” moves with my son and got him to open and close his hands. I was so relieved that the movement was normal” Conclusions Modifying instruction methods to include familiar and fun techniques can increase therapy participation and can decrease the fear experienced by young burn survivors when faced with moving an injured extremity.

Full textAbstract:
This paper examines the advantages and disadvantages of executing cyber awareness exercises in two different formats: Virtual vs On-site participation. Two EU Agencies, EUSPA and ENISA have organized in the previous years Cyber Awareness exercises; a very important tool to enhance and test the organization's ability to put up resistance and respond to different cyber threats. The objective of this paper is to compare the outcomes of these awareness exercises, executed on-site through physical attendance prior to 2019 and virtually, in a remote setup in 2020, due to the restrictions posed by the pandemic of COVID-19. ENISA in collaboration with EUSPA have accumulated raw and diverse data from the evaluation reports of the cyber events mentioned above. The comparison of these data will focus on the most important success factors of a cyber awareness exercise such as: participation, cooperation (social interaction/teambuilding), effectiveness, fun, tools and identify how the location of the participants affects them. The aim of this work is to highlight through statistical analysis the benefits of a hybrid approach to the exercise’s setup, once combining elements of both virtual and on-site. Depending on the different kind of exercises, such a hybrid setup, will provide more flexibility to an exercise organizer and help maximize effectiveness, while adapting to the fluctuating working regimes of the near future; namely Teleworking. Furthermore, a modular exercise design will be proposed in order to adapt to the location limitations without impacting negatively the rate of the rest of factors analyzed.

This paper presents a modular approach to generic exergame design that combines custom physical exercises in a meaningful and motivating story. This aims to provide a tool that can be individually tailored and adapted to people with different needs, making it applicable to different diseases and states of disease. The game is based on motion capturing and integrates four example exercises that can be configured via our therapeutic web platform “Blexer-med”. To prove the feasibility for a wide range of different users, evaluation tests were performed on 14 patients with various types and degrees of neuromuscular disorders, classified into three groups based on strength and autonomy. The users were free to choose their schedule and frequency. The game scores and three surveys (before, during, and after the intervention) showed similar experiences for all groups, with the most vulnerable having the most fun and satisfaction. The players were motivated by the story and by achieving high scores. The average usage time was 2.5 times per week, 20 min per session. The pure exercise time was about half of the game time. The concept has proven feasible and forms a reasonable basis for further developments. The full 3D exercise needs further fine-tuning to enhance the fun and motivation.

SUMMARYRobotics Agent Coacher for Cerebral Palsy motor Function (RAC CP Fun) is an attempt to implement socially assistive robotics, and a motor learning approach in rehabilitating movement disorders with a central origin. The concept and architecture of RAC CP Fun implements the motor learning theory and behavioral approach, i.e. principles of repetition, stages of learning, appropriate feedback, random practice, and enriched environments. Eleven children with cerebral palsy (CP) and fourteen typically developed (TD) children participated in two procedures while interacting with a robot and performing motor exercises. The interaction level and motor performance of children were measured and compared. Children with CP exhibited a higher interaction level; however, their motor performance was lower than that of TD children. RAC CP Fun was found to be feasible to interact with children of pre-school age, to augment the motivation of the children with CP, and to involve the children in motor exercises.

The aim of this study was to develop an interactive learning tool using computer with a view to enhance preschoolers’ reading ability in English class. This study adopted an action research methodology addressing the call for more authentic materials for preschoolers to sensitise their curiosity by using authentic objects. This study consisted of two phases; in phase 1, a teacher taught preschoolers basic reading skill by introducing letters and words via printed worksheets while in phase 2, the preschoolers learned the same content via computer. Twelve preschoolers (7 girls and 5 boys) and two teaching staff from Smart Reader Kids participated in this study. The results showed that computer-based learning activities created multi-trial opportunities without any negative interference to the preschoolers. This experiential learning that involved trial and error approach enabled preschoolers to learn independently and at the same time engage in fun-filled activities to self-regulate their learning. Classroom observation further indicated that the preschoolers enjoyed participating in the reading activities designed for them. The use of authentic photographs and visuals in the exercises were appealing and encouraged them to engage in meaningful communication with their peers. In addition, preschoolers displayed a high level of confidence during the lesson as the environment was encouraging without much intervention from the class teacher. This ultimately persuaded the preschoolers to give their own responses while creating opportunity for themselves to explore their own learning.

Full textAbstract:
Second Life is increasingly being used as a venue for education, especially for delivery of online instruction where social presence and community building are essential components. Despite its robust 3-D modeling tools and powerful scripting language, many educational uses of Second Life are limited to passive forms of content delivery that often mimic some variety of Victorian style lecture setting. This article demonstrates a series of exercises designed around a more active learning model for my geography courses based on Kolb’s (2005) theory of experiential learning. Active class exercises encourage hands-on interaction with components of the virtual world, but are linked explicitly to real subject matter content. By providing fun pre-exercise training and promoting learning by discovery, the exercises are designed to encourage the four fundamental components of the experiential learning environment: involvement, reflection, analysis, and problem solving. Beyond providing an excellent educational environment, such approaches can act as surrogates for real-world experiences that are either impossible or logistically problematic.

Background: Community-dwelling older adults lack opportunities for health care, health-related knowledge, participation in health care activities, and a sense of security. These all are some of the identified hindrances on Active-aging elderly living in the community. This study explores the fundamental elements of long-distance Happy-age education in terms of Active-aging in older adults living in the community.
 Methodology: An extensive literature search returned 443 studies. Of these, only 10 studies met the inclusion criteria of a scientific investigation of the effectiveness of long-distance Happy age education programs, including fun exercise and laughter that contain appropriate elaboration on theoretical constructs and methods.
 Results: The qualitative assessment resulted that programs containing more fun-based interventions are effective regardless of the type of intervention. The effectiveness is also modulated by other variables such as the participant's education level, gender, current health status, and financial constraints.
 Conclusion: This review suggests that the level of the community-dwelling older adults have seemed to benefit from Thai Chi Rhythmic exercises and laughter exercises. More studies of this topic with older adult populations are needed to select the most convenient Happy-age education program that can improve the level of Active-aging and prolong life with happiness can be fulfilled.

Full textAbstract:
A novel and fun exercise robot (LOCOBOT) was developed to improve balance ability. This system can control a spherical robot on a floor by changing the center of pressure (COP) based on weight-shifting on a board. The present study evaluated leg muscle activity and joint motion during LOCOBOT exercise and compared the muscle activity with walking and sit-to-stand movement. This study included 10 healthy male adults (age: 23.0 ± 0.9 years) and examined basic LOCOBOT exercises (front–back, left–right, 8-turn, and bowling). Electromyography during each exercise recorded 13 right leg muscle activities. Muscle activity was represented as the percentage maximal voluntary isometric contraction (%MVIC). Additionally, the joint motion was simultaneously measured using an optical motion capture system. The mean %MVIC differed among LOCOBOT exercises, especially in ankle joint muscles. The ankle joint was primarily used for robot control. The mean %MVIC of the 8-turn exercise was equivalent to that of walking in the tibialis anterior, and the ankle plantar flexors were significantly higher than those in the sit-to-stand motion. Participants control the robot by ankle strategy. This robot exercise can efficiently train the ankle joint muscles, which would improve ankle joint stability.

The developments of multimedia language learning after Covid Pandemic. With the rise of the Internet and new technology, given students' perception about the use of Fun Vocabulary, their experience in the sector is critical for the successful development of academic programs, since the end user's perception toward the application of information technology is one of the most effective aspects. Hence this study was conducted in purpose to evaluate the students’ perception on the usage of multimedia Fun Vocabulary for grade IV elementary students as the implementation of Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL). Twenty students filled the questionnaire survey after they experienced learning within the multimedia in case to assess the performance and qualities of a designed multimedia Fun Vocabulary. This study applied quantitative research to measure the users’ evaluation on platform usage through questionnaire which was as the instrument of collecting data. The result found that the students’ agreement showed positive perceptions prevailed over their disagreement or neutral responses in the questionnaire. Fun Vocabulary multimedia was designed and provided a variety of exercises and materials with interesting visual content which can enhance the understanding of vocabulary in English for elementary school level. It was very helpful for their motivation and interest to keep learning English via the platform and practice through its exercises. On the other side, the findings also indicated that the limitation of multimedia that cannot reach the next grade. On the other hand, other findings showed that the materials were very limited and could not reach more list of vocabulary provided in this multimedia. Otherwise, Fun Vocabulary multimedia simply can be used to learn English for students basically and can be useful for teacher as blended learning at class.

BACKGROUND Individuals with Parkinson’s disease (PD) experience reduced balance ability and are prone to fall. As the disease advances with age, the traditional forms of physiotherapy are prone to fail in long-term exercise intervention as patients lose interest in performing the exercises. The use of virtual reality game technology consists of tasks in virtual environments that combine physical and cognitive demands in a fun and motivating manner which leads to adherence in a long-term exercise intervention. The objectives of the study were to know the adherence of Kinect adventure games in individuals with PD by attendance percentage of prescribed sessions and analyse the impact of balance after the games in them. METHODS An experimental study with pre-post design in which 11 individuals were selected, with a mean age of 67.8 years. Home-based balance exercises were given three days a week up to 6 weeks (18 sessions). Kinect adventure games were implemented for another six weeks. Adherence was measured by attendance percentage in terms of the frequency of sessions completed. The secondary outcome measure was to assess balance. Participants were evaluated before intervention and post-intervention using BESTest. Descriptive statistics were used to compare the BESTest scores of pre and post-intervention. RESULTS The adherence percentage of Kinect adventure game therapy was 38 %. The adherence percentage of home-based balance exercises was only 9 %. The best scores improved in home-based balance exercise compared to Kinect adventure game therapy. CONCLUSIONS The participants with Parkinson’s disease did not adhere to Kinect adventure game therapy. For the attended sessions the balance improved for home-based balance exercise compared to Kinect game therapy. KEY WORDS Exercise Barrier, Adherence, Balance Training, Virtual Reality, Video Games

This study explores the effectiveness of fun-learning techniques in improving English pronunciation among young learners. The research arises from the increasing need for engaging and interactive teaching methods to address the challenges in language acquisition, especially in pronunciation. Traditional, monotonous methods often fail to engage students and lead to low retention rates. A qualitative approach, including classroom observations and interviews with teachers and students, was used to evaluate the impact of fun-learning activities. The findings show that incorporating games, role-playing, and phonetic exercises significantly enhances pronunciation accuracy, boosts confidence, and improves overall language retention. The study emphasizes the importance of continuous teacher development to successfully apply these techniques. In conclusion, fun-learning addresses the limitations of conventional teaching and offers an innovative approach to improving pronunciation. Teachers are encouraged to adopt these strategies, with support from school administrators through resources and training.

Studies show that engaging students with game-based activities increases their involvement and leads to better language acquisition. Students who associate learning with playing games and having fun are more relaxed, at the same time being more involved and competitive. Therefore, language games can prove to be a very useful tool in teaching vocabulary effectively in ESP. They can be used as warm-up activities or time fillers, as review exercises or even as an assessment tool. The present paper discusses a series of fun activities aimed at improving students’ vocabulary mastery, their spelling skills, inference making and morphology knowledge, such as: alphabet and spelling games, fun matching activities, concentration and memory games, vocabulary review games, etc. These activities advocate for a change in the teaching techniques, which could provide some variety and turn standard textbook activities into playful tasks meant to revive the ESP classroom and improve learners’ vocabulary and fluency

Good written communication skills are essential for the success of our graduates. To promote good writing, students in Ornamental Plant Identification classes have been required to write mini-essays, one-page responses to real-world scenarios. Student's responses have been good and their writing has been very acceptable. The mini-essays were, however, just assignments to complete. In an attempt to get students truly involved and passionate about their writing, assignments were designed to illicit creative, fun responses. Students were asked to explain concepts to fourth graders. This brought responses that ranged from exercises where kids were to stick out their tongues to imitate humming birds, to a short play demonstrating the importance of plant nomenclature. Another assignment asked students to complete a story about the famous detective, Hortus paradoxa. Student responses were incredibly creative, and some of the best writing I have ever seen. In addition, students had fun. It seems clear that, if students know that it is OK to be creative, they will greatly exceed your expectations. Just be prepared to have lots of fun while learning. Samples of the assignments, responses, and what is next will be presented.

"Children’s and Their Parents’ Experiences With Home-Based Guided Hypnotherapy: Qualitative Study." JMIR Pediatrics and Parenting 8 (January 27, 2025): e58301-e58301. https://doi.org/10.2196/58301.
Full textAbstract:
Abstract Background Management of children with functional abdominal pain (FAP) or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is difficult in primary care. When education and reassurance do not alleviate symptoms, primary care physicians lack treatment options for children with FAP or IBS. Home-based guided hypnotherapy is a promising treatment because of its accessibility. To address feasibility, it is of utmost importance to take experiences from children and their parents into account. Objective We aimed to explore children’s and their parents’ experiences with home-based guided hypnotherapy for children with FAP or IBS. Methods This qualitative study used open-ended questions from a questionnaire and in-depth semistructured interviews with children and their parents who had a hypnotherapy intervention prescribed. The interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Data were collected and analyzed iteratively using thematic content analysis. Results A total of 76 children were eligible, and we collected questionnaire data from 56 children. A total of 23 interviews were conducted with 10 children and 15 parents. Six themes emerged from questionnaire data and interviews: impression of the exercises, not for everyone, influence of perceived effect, integrating exercises in daily life, content and practicalities of the website, and customization to personal preferences. Children with FAP or IBS experienced home-based guided hypnotherapy and the exercises differently, ranging from boring to fun. From interviews with the parents, it emerged that hypnotherapy is not suitable for everyone; for example, when children are very young or have a low developmental level, cannot sit still, cannot surrender to the exercises, or are too energetic or stressed, it might be difficult to comply. Experiences were shaped by the influence of a perceived effect and to which extent children were able to integrate exercises in daily life. The content and practicalities of the website also influenced experiences, and hypnotherapy that is adaptable to personal preferences, including by appearance and content, would be highly appreciated. Conclusions The children and parents experienced home-based guided hypnotherapy differently, ranging from boring to fun. Hypnotherapy might be difficult or boring for some children. The children enjoyed hypnotherapy when they liked the topic or story, felt positive effects, could easily integrate exercises in daily life, or enjoyed the website in general. The children’s experiences and adherence can be further improved by adding short exercises and customizing hypnotherapy to their personal preferences on the website’s appearance and content. This could increase effectiveness but must be studied further.

Full textAbstract:
There is a need for innovation to improve the engagement and accessibility of rehabilitation programs for children and adults with upper extremity motor impairments due to neurodevelopmental disorders, acquired brain injuries, or spinal cord injuries. For this purpose, a computer game-based telerehabilitation platform (GTP) was developed to address this need. Through the application of a miniature inertial-based computer mouse and the wide variety of commercial computer games, the developed GTP can provide engaging task-specific exercises for the rehabilitation of manual dexterity (object handling and manipulation). A purpose-built repetitive task practice software (RTP) was also developed to gather event data and synchronize it with patient movements during gameplays. This provides automated monitoring and quantification of patients’ motor skills, while they practice a range of game-based exercises with their hand and/or arm. The GTP would initially be used in a supervised clinical setting followed by a transition to function at home and be monitored by clinician specialists. Clinical support for home and rural communities, with protocols that can be easily updated, will help increase accessibility to targeted and personalized solutions for patients and achieve the desired training effect.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Gamification can motivate older adults to exercise by transforming physical activities into enjoyable experiences. Incorporating gaming elements in cycling exercises can foster a sense of interest and achievement, potentially improving health outcomes. This study investigated the acceptability and feasibility of motivating residents living in long-term care homes with a gamified cycling exercise. Fourteen residents (13 living with dementia) completed a 4-week gamified cycling exercise twice a week. Safety during exercise was addressed by monitoring heart rate and symptom observation. With an interpretive description approach, we conducted interviews with residents and family members and focus groups with staff and leadership. The thematic analysis identifies three themes representing the feasibility and acceptability of gamified cycling exercise among LTC residents: ease of use and accessibility, physical and mental health benefits, fun engagement and community building. Future research should explore dementia-friendly design, culture-related game content, family orientation and engagement, group exercise and organization support. This study showed promising acceptability and feasibility of gamified cycling exercise in a long-term care home. Successful implementation relies on tailoring interventions to meet residents’ specific needs and preferences while acquiring rapport with interdisciplinary staff in the care home.

The National Department of Health invited comments on proposed policy guidelines on the prevention of physical inactivity in older persons at primary level. The guidelines recommended the use of exercises which are dynamic, interesting, fun, easily implemented, safe and tailored to suit the individual needs. In order to make informed comments on the policy, the aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of the recommended exercise program among older persons in a local community over a six-week period. Promoting physical activity among the participants in the study resulted in marked improvements in systolic and diastolic blood pressures, and dominant hand grip strength. The time taken to perform some selected functional tasks also improved. The findings gave credence to the need to discourage physical inactivity among older persons, but there is need to overcome formidable methodological problems in evaluating the effects of exercise intervention among older persons in the community.

Full textAbstract:
Background Pediatric and adolescent athletes are a large demographic undergoing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL-R). Postoperative rehabilitation is critical, requiring patients to complete home exercise programs (HEPs). To address obstacles to HEP adherence, we developed an interactive health technology, interACTION (iA), to monitor knee-specific rehabilitation. iA is a web-based platform that incorporates wearable motion sensors and a mobile app that provides feedback and allows remote monitoring. The Wheel of Sukr is a gamification mechanism that includes numerous behavioral elements. Objective This study aims to use a user-centered design process to incorporate behavioral change strategies derived from self-management theory into iA using the Wheel of Sukr, with the aim of influencing patient behavior. Methods In total, 10 athletes aged 10-18 years with a history of ACL-R were included in this study. Patients were between 4 weeks and 1 year post–ACL-R. Participants underwent a 60-minute triphasic interview. Phase 1 focused on elements of gaming that led to high participation and information regarding surgery and recovery. In phase 2, participants were asked to think aloud and rank cards representing the components of the Wheel of Sukr in order of interest. In phase 3, the patients reviewed the current version of iA. Interviews were recorded, transcribed, and checked for accuracy. Qualitative content analysis segmented the data and tagged meaningful codes until descriptive redundancy was achieved; next, 2 coders independently coded the data set. These elements were categorized according to the Wheel of Sukr framework. The mean age of participants was 12.8 (SD 1.32) years, and 70% (7/10) were female. Most participants (7/10, 70%) reported attending sessions twice weekly. All patients were prescribed home exercises. Self-reported HEP compliance was 75%-100% in 40% (4/10), 50%-75% in 40% (4/10), and 25%-50% of prescribed exercises in 20% (2/10) of the participants. Results The participants responded positively to an app that could track home exercises. Desirable features included exercise demonstrations, motivational components, and convenience. The participants listed sports specificity, competition, notifications, reminders, rewards, and social aspects of gameplay as features to incorporate. In the Wheel of Sukr card sort exercise, motivation was ranked first; self-management, second; and growth, esteem, and fun tied for the third position. The recommended gameplay components closely followed the themes from the Wheel of Sukr card sort activity. Conclusions The participants believe iA is a helpful addition to recovery and want the app to include exercise movement tracking and encouragement. Despite the small number of participants, thematic saturation was reached, suggesting the sample was sufficient to obtain a representative range of perspectives. Future work will implement motivation; self-management; and growth, confidence, and fun in the iA user experience. Young athlete ACL-R patients will complete typical clinical scenarios using increasingly developed prototypes of the gamified iA in a controlled setting.

Grammar Buzz (GB) is an edutainment board game that helps to promote students’ grammar acquisition and their ability of using English grammar in sentences. It is a multisensory game which requires players to physically throw the dice and move the token to the phrase category destination. Then the players are to construct a grammatically correct sentence using the phrase category. Students who have difficulty with single-modality learning method would benefit from this visual, kinaesthetic and auditory board game as GB supports intentional grammar learning. While the players are doing something fun, they can be learning grammar without noticing it. Past studies found revamping the delivery of grammar lesson to be fun and enjoyable, helped increase learners’ motivation and also interest. Inspired from the Monopoly board game, GB is definitely a creative and innovative alternative to dreary grammar drills. Games can remove boredom without sacrificing repetition that is necessary for successful learning of language elements, especially grammar. GB certainly brings about fun and excitement amongst the players and offers entertaining language practices other than the traditional pencil-paper grammar exercises. GB has huge potential to be commercialized in schools as it is applicable for both students and teachers in schools and also at tertiary level.

Full textAbstract:
Teaching grammar to young learners is considered quite challenging for English teachers. Different characteristics between young learners and adult learners make teachers and academics less certain about how grammar should be presented, whether deductively or inductively. The purpose of this study was to gather information about the strategy of teaching grammar in three different elementary schools and how the teacher implements the strategy in the classroom. To this extent, interviews and classroom observation were used to obtain all the data required for the study. The result confirmed that 2 out of 3 English teachers teach grammar implicitly through fun activities because they believe that young learners learn the grammar better when they notice the rules themselves through fun activities. Meanwhile, the other one teaches grammar explicitly by giving simple grammar exercises. This study encouraged teachers to consider an inductive implicit grammar approach to maximize language acquisition, and it is also important for teachers to constantly check on learners’ progress to help them achieve learning objectives on time.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 6-week exercises performed by elastic resistance band on functional performance (balance, agility, hand grip strength and flexibility) in children aged 8-9 years. So, 102 students participated in this study according to pre-test and post-test design. Participants were divided into two groups: experimental group (n=50, height: 134.0 ± 6.3 cm, mass: 30.9 ± 7.9 kg, age: 8.6 ± 0.5 years) and control group (n=52, height: 135.0 ± 6.2 cm, mass: 32.4 ± 5.9 kg, age: 8.6 ± 0.6 years). The experimental group performed exercises using elastic resistance bands of lightness grade at the same time of day (45 minutes/day, 3 days/week), and the control group did not participate in any physical activity. Balance was measured by Flamingo Test, agility by Ilinois, flexibility by sit and reach box and strength was measured by hand-grip dynamometer. It was determined that 6-week exercises performed by elastic resistance band increased significantly the hand grip strength; however there was no statistically significant effect on balance, agility and flexibility abilities.The inclusion of elastic resistance band exercises in the context of school activity programs can improve children's strengths. For this reason, exercises performed by elastic resistance bands for more than 6 weeks can be added to activity programs in school as an economical, fun and reliable way to improve the hand-grip performance of children.

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is used to describe the different subgroups of arthritis in children. JIA is the most common chronic rheumatic condition in children. The long-term consequences are not limited to physical disabilities but also have an impact on the child's social, emotional and cognitive development. Home exercise programmes are a major part of the complex treatment regimen for JIA. Research to date is limited in providing insights into children's perspectives about JIA. This paper describes a qualitative study undertaken to identify children's perceptions about their participation in home exercise programmes. Using semi-structured interviews, the perspectives of 13 children (aged 8–16 years) about their experiences of living with JIA and specifically about participating in therapist-prescribed exercise programmes were investigated. Two major themes highlighted the pervasive impact of JIA on the children's lives. First, the children described living with JIA and associated feelings of ‘being different’. Secondly, they discussed their understanding of home exercise programmes and the barriers and facilitators to participation. Key barriers were having better things to do, time required, laziness, boredom, forgetfulness and pain. Facilitators included the incorporation of exercises into everyday routines, making them fun and having rewards. Clinical implications and avenues for future research are also outlined.

Teaching retailing principles to students is a challenge because although real-world wholesale and retail decision making very heavily depends on dynamic conditions, classroom exercises are limited to abstract discussions and role-playing. This article describes two interlocking class projects taught using the virtual reality of secondlife.com , which allowed students to use their recently gained skills in wholesaling and retailing. The exercises provided students with unique educational experiences without the need of “bricks and mortar” product development, wholesale, or retail spaces. This spurred students’ creativity and entrepreneurship. Students described the simulations as “fun” and “interesting.” Students also reported a greater depth of learning as a result of participating in the virtual simulation. This article describes the interdisciplinary team efforts to develop educational experiences for students.
