Use of mobile and sensor technologies in learning has emerged as a growing research area, and has given rise to a lot of research that takes advantage of learner's location, environment, proximity and situation to contextualizing the learning process. The adaptivity and personalization in these scenarios have taken a new meaning by bringing authentic learning much closer to holistic learning by seamlessly...
Widespread connectivity of the internet over PCs and Laptops has increased the use of the World Wide Web for educational purposes. There are educational resources broker systems based on educational meta-data standards, which search, locate and deliver educational resources. In this paper, we justify the need of a broker system that can also provide collaborative sharing of educational resources,...
This is an interim report on the design of the Cross-Breeding Diversity Support (CBDS) System, as it relates to cross-breeding individual diversity in a community for Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL). This system employs web-search scheme procedures to determine individual diversity. The objectives of the System's learning community are: (1) The Activation of one's innovative thinking...
Most recent e-learning platforms include testing modules and Computer Based Assessment (CBA) is currently one of the most pressing issues in Learning Management Systems (LMS). Traditional testing techniques aren't fully adequate to examination administration in higher education contexts, as they generally require choosing the answer just in a narrow set of options. Adaptive testing permits an evaluation...
Indian economy is growing at a fast pace presently. Sustaining this growth requires technically trained professionals in large number. It requires providing education and training to population in increasing number. The technological advancement can be of great help in this regard. This paper studies and evaluates Technology Enhanced learning, with particular reference to NPTEL -- a portal dedicated...
Since a decade an extensive research work is being carried out in the field of remote laboratories, which has changed and made the laboratory education system more interesting, cost effective and an efficient usage factor. These labs allow an engineer or a student to practice the experiments they are interested in as many times as they want with a flexibility of place and time. Now we have several...
Revenue from application development and maintenance projectsare significant for Indian IT service providers. Knowledge of scripting languages along with code-reading skills is imperative to effectively execute maintenance projects. This paper outlines some of the higher order challenges faced by an IT graduate in learning scripting language from a project perspective or as an additional skill set...
With the rapid development of hardware and easily accessible networking technologies, the demand for mobile based education is experiencing a boost. Purpose of this study is to analyze the motivation and readiness of students for m-learning. Mobile Learning Engine, an m-learning tool of a popular Learning Management System-Moodle, was used in a Post-Graduate Computer Applications course.
This paper presents the details of a specialized framework developed for the teaching of the modeling and simulation course for postgraduate students in Universiti Putra Malaysia. The unique feature of the subject is that it requires students ability to gain knowledge in several fields and relate them aptly to the need of performance analysis. IT also demands acquiring skills to develop comprehensive...
School education in the early years involves much drill, repetition and rote learning. The child has to learn the alphabet of the language of his education, learn vocabulary, pronunciation and elementary reading skills; be able to recognize objects, their features and relationships; and learn basic concepts and skills of arithmetic and geometry. The teaching community has developed many techniques...
The article addresses the technical principles of a new interactive Robotic device, called Write Tutor, and gives an overview of its application. In spite of the various measures and efforts taken in terms of improving literacy rate we still have a major section of the population who are not able to read and write. The Write Tutor, a completely autonomous device can teach children and people of any...
This study concentrates upon the impact of digital library and Internet technology in higher education using attributes of the digital libraries and the Internet, multimedia and different software, which can be addressed by multi-tasks, full time, and problem-solving using BDL web site and Internet facilities. This paper analyses the relationship between learners' education by the means of digital...
A number of Learning Management Systems (LMSs) exist on the market today. A subset of a LMS is the component in which student assessment is managed. In some forms of assessment, such as short-answer questions, the LMS is incapable of evaluating the students' responses and therefore human intervention is necessary. This study leverages the research conducted in recent Natural Language Processing studies...
This paper reports the initial ?ndings from an on-going study to explore the effects of various computer game-based learning environments on learning outcomes.For this purpose, three educational computer games based on mathematics and social sciences were played by middle-school students under four pedagogical contexts: collaborative with active facilitation; collaborative without active facilitation;...
Computer -- assisted -- language -- learning or CALL is one of a number of names to describe the way that computers are used to complement (although not necessarily to replace) classroom instruction. CALL is just one aspect of TELL, or technology enhanced language learning. Though imaginative explorations of computers have included the creation of interactive multi media environments for English language...
In this paper, we present our work on the design and implementation of a cost-effective remote real time internet-based undergraduate electronic circuits laboratory. The student interacts with the system through a graphical user interface implemented using NI LabVIEW. On the back end, the server processes experiment requests from users and runs them. The proposed online internet-based set of experiments...
In this paper, a web powered solution to the growing inaccessibility of expertise and support in the form of academic and career counseling to a large section of the student community, especially in developing nations, has been proposed. A prototypical implementation of the model solution has been studied and a few envisaged extensions have been enumerated.
Distributed and concurrent development of virtual labs across multiple institutes and teams presents several challenges, both organizational and technical in nature. We present models for managing the process of virtual lab development, deployment and distribution. Close to twenty labs in computer science and chemical sciences are currently following our model. The architecture is designed to ultimately...
