E-learning is becoming the most popular educational system used in the world, the learners can easily access to the information at anywhere in anytime. The teaching methods used in this context are effective because they can combine practice and feedback, to combine collaborative activities with individualized learning, customized learning paths based on the needs of learners and to offer educational...
During the last years many virtual laboratories have been developed, but not all of them were successfully adopted. Designing, planning and creating a virtual laboratory can be a very difficult process, which can get even more complicated if the laboratory has to provide access to real equipment. One of the most problematic steps when developing such virtual laboratories is the selection of the right...
The set-in of a joint diploma between French and Chinese universities at master level and in the field of microelectronics arose some pedagogical difficulties that were overpassed after adaptation. This paper tries to give evidence of the influence of the initial culture on the scientific and pedagogical approaches after simple analyses. The proposed solutions based on the behavior difference have...
This article explains the use of Kiva.org in a business simulation course to help students develop higher order thinking skills. Kiva, a nonprofit organization, facilitates business loans for entrepreneurs in developing countries. To attract lenders, the website features the personal stories of loan seekers. These stories often create a clash between making sound business decisions and emotional reasoning...
The main topic of this article is related to a didactic methodology used for the IT based assessment of the influence of Power Lines and Equipment on Telecommunication Lines. Power is needed as well as telecommunications are in our society today. Power head lines are parallel or crossed with telecommunication ones, so influences could be electric, magnetic or even resistive ones. All these interferences,...
When it comes to education we usually imagine a traditional one, which in most cases is conducted by lectors or educators who present the learning materials face to face with their students. With the technological progress during the last years, the things have changed - new ways for learning and teaching were born. In the present days we refer to these approaches as digital education or simply e-learning...
In this article, several Flipped Classroom experiences developed at the Universitat Politècnica de València are shown. The experiences have been developed in different fields: Computer Science, Physics, Plant Breeding and Telecommunication Engineering. This wide range and variety of knowledge areas provides multidisciplinary data, which allows for comparison and contrast. Indeed, this paper offers...
Currently, much has been discussed about the educational issue in particular in new ways to motivate and engage students, particularly at this time when you have to constantly compete for their attention with this highly dispersive environment of the internet, with the wide availability of information and the attractions of social networks. One of the ways to modify this panorama is to place students...
3D Virtual Labs are the support of learning, a tool of education in the future. Learning in a 3D environment allows greater interaction with contents in a unique way as students perceive it as being really there. Simulations are being designed, a combination of real-world environment with the information supplied by devices, where measurements can be replicated and data analyzed. This study presents...
The main subject of this paper is to present a didactic procedure and an hardware equipment used for air pollution assessment and air quality assessment, nearby a thermal power plant, based on an expert system. The architecture of the expert system, both hardware and software, is described briefly as well as the main principles of the software involved. A didactic method used for transmitting to students...
The modular nature of courses and the fragmenting pressures of Higher Education schedules can make it difficult to create and/or maintain any semblance of a community of practice (i.e. one in which the discussion of learning and around learning is open and apparent). We ask if it is possible to engender an on-line community of practice and re-capture the all round discussion that is often lost in...
This article aims to present two intelligent agents, APL planner agent and ARL regulatory agent, enabling distance learners to plan and dynamically regulate their personalized learning time .The planning considers the speed of learner's understanding, the teaching units expected time of learning, the constraint learning path, the pace and the periodic learning time of the learner, while the regulation...
Serious games are a popular concept in both the research and commercial areas. It is agreed that the concept refers to the use of computer games without the main purpose of pure entertainment. In addition to being entertaining, they have some additional educational or training objectives as well. Serious games are used in different areas such as military, government, educational, corporate, and healthcare...
English now dominates the research world because it is the language of academic publications. Therefore, non-native English speaking academics, especially those working outside the inner circle English speaking countries, need skills of formal writing in English in order to get their research presented and published in the world's prestigious databases, such as the Web of Science, or in a journal...
This paper is inspired by the Keynote Speech which I gave at ITHET 2014 in York in September 2014. The material was very well received, and it seemed appropriate to offer it for publication in the proceedings of ITHET 2015.
The usage of the blended learning for growing of competence in information technologies by the students of human resource management profile is described. The interaction during the learning occurs through the learning management service system. The choice of the human resource management systems to study depends on the market of these systems, their functionality and the business-models of the distribution.
Following the strategy of European Horizon 2020 project and the French national strategy of research, the future of science and technology will be driven by the communicating and smart objects that will extend in many fields of application to meet the societal needs. The CNFM, the French network for education in microelectronics and nanotechnologies, having a long experience in microelectronics education...
A massive open online course (MOOC) is a type of online course that can be taken for a huge number of participants. Originally, MOOCs scope was to provide introductory university level courses to students worldwide. Currently, the MOOC model is expanding is scope to training in both private and public sectors. There are more than 30 million of public sector employees only in Latin American and Caribbean...
