This study applies discourse analysis using revised taxonomy to evaluate the effectiveness of the instructional model and assess students' learning gains simultaneously. It examines conditions for the development of classroom discourse that facilitates learning in "flipped classrooms".
This study examines the effectiveness of applying social network technology in a classroom. A slide-sharing social network technology, the OpenSlide system, was installed for use in an operating systems course for college students in a university's information management department. A quasi-experimental study was conducted to examine the effectiveness of the instructional design by comparing the performance...
Nowadays, with the explosive growth of the network technologies many new applications and services have been developed on Internet. World Wide Web can provide these services provided without the limitation of time and location. Obviously, the number of user is dramatically increasing from amount of the visitations of web pages. In our previous work, we proposed an algorithm to discover more significant...
This paper describes practices of the Supplementary Instruction (SI) Problem-Solving Workshop in helping entering engineering students develop the concept of problem solving and obtain the necessary knowledge and skills required to succeed in their courses.
This study investigates the network problems of the knowledge dissemination of ICT-in-education practices using an egocentric survey method to school technology coordinators (STCs). A conceptual framework of knowledge competitions is developed to inspect the significant and effective ties of knowledge dissemination. The results indicate that interactive predictability of effective sizes and significant...
Both sequential pattern mining and temporal pattern mining have become highly relevant data mining topics in this decade. In 2009, Wu and Chen proposed a representation for hybrid events and an HTPM mining method. However, their approach neither addresses nor analyzes the length of event time. An event representation may stand for the same event with extremely different time lengths, which may induces...
This study investigates the interplay among heart rate variability (HRV), respiration, and the severity of motion sickness (MS) in a realistic passive driving task. Although HRV is a commonly used metrically in physiological research or even believed to be a direct measure of sympathovagal activities, the results of MS-effected HRV remain mixed across studies. The goal of this study is to find the...
This paper proposes an interactive English vocabulary learning system that is geared to individual student's vocabulary learning objectives and vocabulary ability. The system uses a word's rank in the word frequency list as its absolute difficulty level - a higher rank in the list means it is a more common word and therefore should be learned first. The system lowers or raises the difficulty level...
This study examines popular advertising and marketing aesthetics, a correlation between online experience and click behavior, and the application of online advertisements' visual effects. To catch the attention of young browsers, the study finds the four most popular online advertising strategies for all consumers are respectively creativity, bright colors, discounts and gifts, and eye-catching on-screen...
A quasi-experiment was conducted in this research to investigate the feasibility of using Alice in teaching high school students programming concepts. The subjects were 166 10th-grade students from four intact classes. Alice was taught to two randomly selected classes, and the other two classes were taught C++, both for 8 weeks. The programming constructs students learned included variables, arithmetic...
