This research aims to investigate the usefulness of adopting knowledge modeling in corporate e-Learning systems and specifically the application of concept mapping tools in knowledge-based companies to create, model, and share knowledge between employees themselves and support collaborative problem solving and innovation from one side. The other side is to improve customer satisfaction due to better...
The interaction between the educational institutions and employers can be viewed as a chain of suppliers and customers. The final product of the educational institutions is qualified people or graduated students. The employers as a customer expect certain qualifications of the graduated students. The educational institutions should know what customer qualifications demands and be able to translate...
Some distance education institutions have invested heavily in print-based resources, and learners still show a preference for print; but some concepts and practical or skills based courses, for example science or engineering, do not translate well into the print medium. This paper presents Augmented Reality (AR) as a possible solution and discusses the development and implementation of an AR application...
The adoption of project based pedagogy in the traditional learning has always serves to enhance the knowledge of learners and develop their disciplinary and cross-curricular skills. In e-learning field, the use of this pedagogy presents even several challenges to the accomplishment of educational goals, in terms of design, planning, implementation and evaluation of learning. This work provides, at...
Electric machinery course is of an immense importance for students graduating in electrical engineering education. Since the electric machines environment is incessantly changing, especially with the introduction of electronic drives, computers and shipboards systems, then the revision of their curricula and the modernization of their experimental labs have been an unavoidable necessity. This paper...
In this work we present a virtual laboratory for studying the wave propagation proprieties. This virtual lab is used to study the propagation of electromagnetic waves in most environments, in readable and progressive manner. It allows students to apply many equations views in the course. The software uses the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) that has been successfully applied in many engineering...
The paper discusses aspects of capacity building for ICT in higher education that include infrastructure development, teacher training, technical support, pedagogical change, and content development that is important to ensure the success of the strategic policy outlined in the paper. Also discussed are the key initiatives taken by Lebanon in particular to ensure adequate capacity building for effective...
The paper considers the development of mobile learning in higher education of the Russian Federation. We analyzed the scientific works of Russian scientists who study the use of mobile technologies in higher schools. We found that the implementation of mobile learning in Russia started primarily through various projects of mobile learning systems and extensive use of SMS for the dissemination of educational...
The use of Internet Laboratories (iLabs) at Makerere University has gained momentum, enabling students to conduct remote experiments on physical equipment. iLabs are based on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) iLabs Shared Architecture (ISA) which consists of three tiers: labserver onto which the hardware is connected; the client which is an interface that a user interacts with; and the...
The learner modeling is a cornerstone of the personalized interaction in any Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL). Based on ontology's, the development of the Semantic Web offers new opportunities and challenges in the design of a new generation of adaptive systems, It's in this context that is situated the scope of our research works, with the aim of integrating a new modeling vision and learner pattern...
Skill level estimation is very important since it allows an instructor, a human or an artificial instructor through an intelligent tutoring system, to predict the level of a student and adjust the learning materials accordingly. In this paper, a new approach based on 1-NN (First Nearest Neighbor) is introduced to determine the skill level of a student based on the pattern of skill levels learned over...
To counter the growing lack of experts in the IT sector, and to give, at the same time, a possibility for lifelong learning, a consortium of north German universities has initiated the project “Computer Engineering Online”. The goal is to develop and to publish an eLearning online study program for computer engineering in winter 2012. Referred to the blended learning strategy, the bigger part of the...
The internet provides a new environment for a variety of applications to be developed for supporting educational and research purposes. This paper presents the implementation of a web-based laboratory experiments for communication systems using a dynamic spectrum analyzer. The proposed system is based on Software Defined Radio (SDR) architecture developed for this purpose. SDR uses programmable hardware...
In this paper a plagiarism detection framework is proposed based on coding style. Furthermore, the typical style-based approach is improved to better detect plagiarism in programming codes. The plagiarism detection is performed in two phases: in the first phase the main features representing a coding style are extracted. In the second phase the extracted features are used in three different modules...
ICT integration in mathematics education provides mathematics teachers with integrative teaching methods that motivate students learning, support their independent learning and active participation in the discovery of mathematics concepts and topics, and, as a result, helps them have deeper understanding of the mathematical ideas. So, the integration of ICT in the teaching and learning of mathematics,...
Including social networking in e-learning platforms enhances and empowers collaboration, knowledge sharing, and knowledge capturing. This new technology brings new learners into the culture of the institutions, the new generation of people is very demanding in terms of development and the use of new technologies for everything in their lives, so to foster the loyalty of younger generation they must...
This paper addresses the blending of methodologies, applications, and the use of the Internet for delivery of knowledge and instruction in an undergraduate wireless communications engineering course. This solution combines several different delivery methods, such as face-to-face, team collaboration, field measurements, combined with high-end professional simulation software. Two examples of handover...
Learners now have to function in an ever changing world, and so need to be competent for it. Professional learning/ workplace learning has to be competency oriented. At the same time the learning activities have to be constructivism based. On distance learning is becoming a priority. We saw the evolution from e-learning to blended learning. In the new model of blended learning, the learning process...
The rapid advancements in e-Learning technology enable each learner to have his/her own learning process based on his/her characteristics - this is called personalisation. Furthermore, recent developments in the field of semantic modelling have led to a renewed attention with focus on ontology-based e-learning systems. This paper describes learners' model ontology as a stage for creating personalised...
Both games are online at www.ats.eu.com and won several - even international awards. The didactic concept was already taught in seminars at some universities of education. The number of registered users has grown from 8600 to currently 25 200 in 7 states in 2011.
