ABSTRACT
The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) is often viewed as a secondary tier of research which consequently contributes to its undervalued status amongst many academicians. However, Higher Education (HE) aims to empower students with the ability to comprehend, analyze, solve problems, apply theories relevant practices, as well as being imbued with a greater appreciation of the knowledge gained from the teaching and learning (T&L) sessions, all as a means of preparing for their integration as a part of Society 5.0. The recent Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated the migration from face-to-face learning to online and hybrid learning across all institutions of HE, even including those which are typically skills and practice-based. The current situation has effectively catalyzed the importance of SoTL in ensuring the process of teaching and learning at institutions of HE can still be effectively conducted, even during the enforcement of lockdown measures. This study aims to describe the fundamentals and methods for conducting SoTL. Additionally, several case studies of SoTL conducted during the Covid-19 pandemic are reviewed and discussed, mainly to exemplify SoTL practices in institutions of HE. These findings are expected to provide new ideas, strategies, as well as guidelines for conducting SoTL at HE level in the present uncertain conditions. Scholars from SoTL-focus disciplines are strongly recommended to collaborate with those from other disciplines to overcome the tidal wave of uncertainty and complexity of T&L in a post-Covid-19 reality. © 2023 Author(s).
ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study is to investigate and describe an example of COVID-19 pandemic information visualization in human-computer interface to serve as a reference for future pandemic information visualization performance improvements. The relevant local and international literature was investigated and studied, as well as the visualization projects of pandemic information from each stage released by major media outlets in the mid-term outbreak of COVID-19. Thereby, the assessment model of information charts, color evaluation, and interaction model for pandemic information visualization of human-computer interface design was obtained. To make the assessment model more effective, an evaluation system was introduced which contributes to the popularization of information, narrows the gap between truth and public cognition, and arouses public attention and vigilance. In the future, pandemic prevention and control will be supported by the assessment model for the design of information visualization of human-computer interface in different scenarios by systematization, standardization and real-time. © 2022, Success Culture Press.
