Multiple choice questions (MCQs) are widely used as an efficient means to grade large batches of students. With technology enabling extremely large classes (MOOCs), the use of MCQs has increased rapidly, leading to an increased scrutiny of their pedagogical utility. In this paper, we present a variant of MCQs that requires students to justify their answer by choosing one or more supporting statements...
This paper presents a pedagogical approach to teach the modeling of Power Electronic Converters through simulation by using general-purpose electronic circuit simulators. The proposed approach is demonstrated by simulation example of a realistic AC-AC, DC-DC, ACDC, DC-AC converter systems. The paper discusses the derivation of MATLAB/ SIMULINK implementation, simulation technique suitable for virtual...
This paper explores the effectiveness of various video based learning methods. In recent years the flipped classroom has emerged as an innovative teaching-learning process. In a flipped classroom, study materials are made available to students for self learning before class starts and class hours are utilized for student teacher interaction in a variety of ways. In this research work we experiment...
People for various reasons need to learn new topics and acquire new skills, but they don't want to attend class or to take full e-learning courses. They search the internet and variety of other sources, to swiftly learn what they need to know. For learners, it is difficult to find and arrange this information for effective learning. Knowledge acquired is often detached, forgotten or not well incorporated...
Learning disabilities (LD) are usually referred as hidden disabilities as they are difficult to identify. The kinds and severity of problems vary from learner to learner. Each LD learner has their own unique set of strengths, weaknesses, interests, experiences and special abilities and all these needs must be addressed. These difficulties can be alleviated by providing appropriate learning environment...
Problem-based learning (PBL) is a way to learn what is needed to solve a problem, how can a solution be obtained quickly, precisely and professionally. To achieve the goal of problem-based learning, problem design and assign same level of problems among the students are important in engineering classroom environment. SQL is a major part in Database course. In problem based e-Learning of SQL, it is...
Learner requirements derived through learning experiences plays a major role in any e-learning environment as it has the potential to retrieve the most appropriate Learning Objects (LO) for the learners. With the help of specifications like experience API (xAPI), the e-learning environments these days are capable of recording the learning experiences of the learners both inside and outside the Leaning...
A major issue faced by the education system in highly populated countries like India is the shortage of experienced and trained teachers and trainers. In order to alleviate this issue, we describe how the e-Learning tool AVIEW is being used for large-scale online training and teaching. A-VIEW allows thousands of participants at various geographical locations to be trained and taught at the same time...
