In this article we have discussed the learning skills that are required to help students gain the full benefits of learning within Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS). On the one hand, students need to use metacognitive strategies to manage their learning, particularly when they have freedom to determine how they access and use a variety of on-line resources. On the other hand, ITS must includes relevant...
In this study, we introduce a concept of hierarchical granular clustering and establish its algorithmic framework. We show that the proposed model naturally gives rise to information granules that are both of higher order and higher type, offering a compelling justification behind their emergence. In a concise way, we can capture the overall architecture of information granules as a hierarchy exhibiting...
The study intends to measure the efficacy of teacher training on techno pedagogy and its effect on students learning in academic subjects like Science, Mathematics and Geography. We randomly selected 10 middle schools (@ 2 schools from 5 districts), observed twenty randomly selected teachers and their students over a 1year period and did a learning achievement tracking of students. Measuring tools...
In pair-programming, two developers share a computer to work together on developing one piece of code. To test Pair-programming effects on student performance in a Middle Eastern society where some interaction restrictions are found, we devised an experiment that was carried out over an entire academic year consists of two semesters. The experiment targeted two sections per semester of an advanced...
The emerging technological development has resulted in generation of huge heterogeneous data. To explore database, user approaches towards Database Management System applications by forming SQL queries. User lacks proficiency in the domain of SQL language and finds complexity in formulation of queries, which became need to dive towards Recommendation system. The existing Recommendation system faces...
Sustainable software is a software that able to work in a constraint environment. For example, a classroom without Internet facilities or unstable connection; a field trips; a meeting room or discussion room with inadequate computer facilities and power and etc. In this case, how to enabling a daily activity within such situations without losing the benefits of computer support? This paper presents...
On behalf of the Conference Organizing Committee, it gives me a great pleasure to welcome you to the 2015 IEEE Jordan Conference on Applied Electrical Engineering and Computing Technologies (AEECT 2015). I am honored and privileged to be the General Chair of the Organizing Committee of this Conference that is jointly organized by Princess Sumaya University for Technology (PSUT) and IEEE - Jordan Section.
This paper presents GitBull tool as a source code hosting web application tailored for the university ecosystem. GitBull introduces the ideology of open source software development. The main aim of GitBull is to fill the gap between how students work on software development projects in university and how software is being developed in the work environment. GitBull helps students use source code versioning...
One of the most popular techniques used in recommender systems is collaborating filtering. In this technique it is usual that Pearson's correlation is used to find the similarity between users. It is a known fact that Pearson's correlation is not suitable for measuring the strength of nonlinear relations. Since Spearman's correlation is in fact Pearson's correlation applied to ranks and does not work...
The concept of Cloud computing is to outsource IT data in remote servers. Data security issues are still being discussed, but the economic and ergonomic gains are not disputed by anyone. Cloud computing is also an opportunity for universities that wish to use information technologies and communication. Higher education institutions must exploit the opportunities offered by Cloud computing while minimizing...
The development of computer science and applications changes with each passing day. The software companies and research institutions put forward higher requirements for computer science majors' professional capacity and creative ability. However, many problems still exist in the current status of teaching computer science majors and directly affect the quality of professional training, so it brings...
In applications of personalized recommendation, user similarity of common clustering algorithms only considers user relationship without considering relationship between users and items, the similarity above reduces the accuracy of clustering, making it difficult to find similar users, and the same with item similarity. This paper improves the distance function of data clustering algorithm by Hamming...
This study gives insights on how to establish a customer community-based innovation system (CCBIS) from an integrated perspective of business management and computer engineering. First, the author uses value chain model to build a functional framework for CCBIS. After that, a case study of communities of Xiaomi Inc. Is proposed to describe how to achieve the functions of CCBIS in the customer community...
The purpose of this paper is to present an interdisciplinary research project in order to attract engineering students to the area of aerospace systems. The Puerto Rico NASA Space Grant (PRSGC) is a joint program between the University of Puerto Rico-Mayagüez (UPRM), the Inter American University of Puerto Rico-Bayamon (UIPRB) and other educational institutions. The desired impact of the project is...
In e-marketplace, semantic document exchange is a methodology of providing exchangeable semantic documents, which ensures document writer, writer's computer, reader's computer and document reader to share a same understanding in meaning on any exchanged document, that is, a semantic document is exchangeable across any heterogeneous contexts. Existing methodologies for semantic document exchange, in...
In this work, we report the outcomes from the IUPUI STEM outreach program “STEMCorp” that inspires high school students to pursue STEM majors. The STEMCorp program was modeled after the Multidisciplinary Undergraduate Research Initiative (MURI) at IUPUI. MURI research program introduces undergraduate students from at least two different departments with mentors from different disciplines to address...
Because collaboration plays a key role in today's society, it is beneficial to prepare people at a young age for collaborative work. However, there is no academic or professional consensus on the most effective approach. To remedy this shortcoming, our research will expand on one promising method: the incorporation of collaborative scaffolding into collaborative educational video games. Although there...
Metaphors help create realities for us, especially social realities. A metaphor influences behavior; to attract and/or divide. Metaphors for education provide symbolic representations of what we intend in education; insight into the philosophy that underlines both how we educate, and what we are trying to educate. E.g., "Education as a journey" conveys a different meaning and intention than...
