Perceptions on the Use of an Online Tool in the Teaching-learning Process in Microscopy

During the COVID-19 pandemic, remote learning was an alternative to maintaining student participation in subjects, active learning, and knowledge development. This approach is necessary for the experimental demands of the practical content of the Cervical Cytology class. This paper presents and discusses using an online platform to learn practical content in the microscopy subject of Cervical Cytology class. The evaluated scenarios demonstrated that the planning of the discipline and personal factors such as student interest and availability could influence the student performance.

Hybrid Project-Based Learning course approach from face-to-face and remote experiences

The Covid-19 pandemic challenged students and educators who quickly migrated face-to-face courses to a remote context Given this challenge, this paper documents the experience of a Project-Based Learning course originally proposed to a face-to-face and adjusted to the remote context. It is a wearable computing course centralizing on mixed reality technologies and user studies evaluation. The adopted methodology is student-centered based on PjBL practices, emphasizing the Human-Computer interaction subject was applied six times, three times face-to-face, and three times remotely between 2019 and 2021. This paper describes the educator's experiences, learnings, and directions for the arrangement of other PjBL courses.
