Sensors in offices mainly measure environmental data, missing qualitative insights into office workers’ perceptions. This opens the opportunity for active individual participation in data collection. To promote reflection on office well-being while overcoming experience sampling challenges in terms of privacy, notification, and display overload, and in-the-moment data collection, we developed Click-IO. Click-IO is a tangible, privacy-sensitive, mobile experience sampling tool that collects contextual information. We evaluated Click-IO for 20-days. The system enabled real-time reflections for office workers, promoting self-awareness of their environment and well-being. Its non-digital design ensured privacy-sensitive feedback collection, while its mobility facilitated in-the-moment feedback. Based on our findings, we identify design recommendations for the evelopment of mobile experience sampling tools. Moreover, the integration of contextual data with environmental sensor data presented a more comprehensive understanding of individuals’ experiences. This research contributes to the development of experience sampling tools and sensor integration for understanding office well-being.

Purpose - Peer instruction has been widely adopted as an instructional method in higher education. However, due to students' different preconceptions, the authors argued that peer instruction is not a panacea in international business education when students' prior knowledge extensively varies. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach - In this experimental study, the authors focused on three conditions of an introductory statistics course: individual problem solving, peer instruction, and peer instruction with hints. Findings - The authors have found students in peer instruction with hints class did not only outperform in the final exam, but also achieved the highest frequency of successful conceptual changes in comparison with their counterparts in the other two classes. Practical implications - Providing instructional hints to improve the effectiveness of peer instruction may shed light on classroom instruction in higher education. Originality/value - As for international business education, this was a unique exploration to capture students' conceptual changes using clickers. The authors believed this research paper will help the education practitioners to know their business students better.

De World Conference on Physics Education vond plaats in Istanbul van 1 – 6 juli met als thema The Role of Context, Culture,and Representations in Physics Teaching and Learning. Deze conferentie wordt eens in de vier jaar door de Europese, Aziatische, en Amerikaanse natuurkunde onderwijs organisaties georganiseerd . Er waren 350 deelnemers waaronder de top van de Amerikaanse en Europese natuurkunde onderwijsspecialisten. Presentaties betroffen allerlei aspecten van natuurkunde onderwijs zoals toepassing van ICT, begripsmoeilijkheden van leerlingen, toetsing, onderzoekend leren, spectaculaire demonstraties, etc. HvA was vertegenwoordigd door Mirjam Venneker van VO-BVE-BiNaSk en lector Ed van den Berg (Pabo). Ed was een van de keynote speakers. Een downloadable annotated powerpoint is te vinden op: http://www.wcpe2012.org/keynote-speakers.html.
