Using e-assessment to improve numeracy in pre-registration nurses and midwives (2015)
Book Chapter
Henderson, K., Gwynllyw, R., & Summers, N. (2015). Using e-assessment to improve numeracy in pre-registration nurses and midwives. In IATED (Ed.), Edulearn15 Proceedings. IATED

Numeracy is a core requirement for all pre-registration nursing programmes studying in the U.K. At present each nursing discipline at the University of the West of England, Bristol provides their students with a numeracy booklet which they are expect...

Using technology to inspire and enhance the learning of statistics in a large cohort of diverse ability (2015)
Book Chapter
Weir, I., Gwynllyw, R., & Henderson, K. (2015). Using technology to inspire and enhance the learning of statistics in a large cohort of diverse ability. In IATED (Ed.), Edulearn15 Proceedings. IATED

In this paper we illustrate how we have used technology to teach and efficiently assess statistics within a Level 2 research skills module delivered to Business School students. The student cohort was a large diverse group of non-mathematicians and t... Read More about Using technology to inspire and enhance the learning of statistics in a large cohort of diverse ability.

Using e-assessment to promote engagement in engineering mathematics (2015)
Book Chapter
Henderson, K., Gwynllyw, R., Hooper, A. P., & Palipana, A. (2015). Using e-assessment to promote engagement in engineering mathematics. In M. A. Hersh, & M. Kotecha (Eds.), Conference Proceedings - IMA International Conference on Barriers and Enablers to Learning Maths: Enhancing Learning and Teaching for All Learners. IMA

The number of engineering students at the University of the West of England has increased substantially over the last few years and this has in part led to challenges in the delivery and monitoring of students taking the Engineering Mathematics modul...

Diagnosing student errors in e-Assessment questions (2015)
Journal Article
Henderson, K. L., Rhys Gwynllyw, D., Walker, P., Gwynllyw, R., & Henderson, K. (2015). Diagnosing student errors in e-Assessment questions. Teaching Mathematics and its Applications, 34(3), 160-170. https://doi.org/10.1093/teamat/hrv010

© The Author 2015. We demonstrate how the re-marker and reporter facility of the DEWIS e-Assessment system facilitates the capture, analysis and reporting of student errors using two case studies: logarithms and indices for first-year computing stude...

Interactive, evolutionary search in upstream Object-oriented class design (2010)
Journal Article
Parmee, I. C., Simons, C., & Gwynllyw, R. (2010). Interactive, evolutionary search in upstream Object-oriented class design. IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, 36(6), 798-816. https://doi.org/10.1109/TSE.2010.34

Although much evidence exists to suggest that early life cycle software engineering design is a difficult task for software engineers to perform, current computational tool support for software engineers is limited. To address this limitation, intera... Read More about Interactive, evolutionary search in upstream Object-oriented class design.

Limiting behaviour of particles in Taylor-Couette flow (2010)
Journal Article
Henderson, K., & Gwynllyw, R. (2010). Limiting behaviour of particles in Taylor-Couette flow. Journal of Engineering Mathematics, 67(1), 85-94. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10665-009-9321-z

Negatively buoyant inertial particles are tracked in a steady Taylor vortex background flow with gravity acting along the axis of the cylinders. Particles are found to either fall through the apparatus due to gravity or to be within retention zones.... Read More about Limiting behaviour of particles in Taylor-Couette flow.

Particle tracking in Taylor-Couette flow (2007)
Journal Article
Gwynllyw, D. R., Henderson, K., Gwynllyw, R., & Barenghi, C. F. (2007). Particle tracking in Taylor-Couette flow. European Journal of Mechanics - B/Fluids, 26(6), 738-748. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.euromechflu.2006.12.001

The paths of small inertial particles are computed in a steady Taylor vortex background flow. When buoyancy effects are neglected we find that particles denser than the background fluid tend to a limit orbit in the meridional plane. The difference in...

Collection of taxonomically classified mathematical common student errors in e assessments - (CSE Book)
Report
Sikurajapathi, I., Henderson, K., & Gwynllyw, R. Collection of taxonomically classified mathematical common student errors in e assessments - (CSE Book). UWE Bristol

This book presents Common Student Errors (CSEs) that have been made by first year students taking Engineering Mathematics e-examinations at the University of the West of England, Bristol (UWE Bristol). The CSEs presented in this document were collec... Read More about Collection of taxonomically classified mathematical common student errors in e assessments - (CSE Book).
