Abstract:
Few projects have explored online research courses for people with intellectual disabilities. This practice paper reports the process and experience of trying out an online research course for people with intellectual disabilities. An in-person research course was adapted into an 8-week Zoom course with online lessons and a final in-person session. The paper was written by the teachers, students, and their support persons. Students discussed their experiences. The teachers noted and summarised their thoughts. Support persons fed back via email. All authors reviewed and approved their contributions. Eight students completed the course. They liked the course and learned about research. Zoom allowed students across the country to participate. Support persons and teachers saw students gaining confidence and skills. Technology can be challenging, and students missed face-to-face contact. Online research courses are possible, but no one size fits all. A hybrid course may be best: in a room and on Zoom.

Virtual Work
In static equilibrium, a body can experience an imaginary or virtual movement, such as displacement or rotation. The virtual work done by a force is equal to the dot product of force and virtual displacement in the direction of the force. When it comes to virtually rotating a...
Cognitive Learning
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
Tolman introduced the idea that behavior is influenced by...
