Aimed at abnormal score from evaluation experts, real data from Shanghai double-blind sampling system of graduate dissertation and thesis between 2013 and 2014 have been in depth analysis and mining. Some basic judgment rules of abnormal score are summed up, and monitoring model for abnormal score is proposed. By the least squares method and the multiple regression models, the equation of monitoring...
Flipped classroom is an emerging pedagogical model with potentials to support active engagement and improve student performance. This research empirically validate the impact of: 1) Flipped classroom on student performance; and 2) Preferred learning style on student performance in a flipped classroom. We designed an experiment to compare the performance of students in flipped classroom with traditional...
One of the first artifacts produced by a massive multi-year education transformation effort has been the launching of a one-of-a-kind program focused on transdisciplinary studies that goes well beyond conventional notions of disciplines. One of the main thrusts of the transformation was to intentionally and repeatedly integrate STEM and Humanities learning and outcome assessment of skills and abilities...
Searching for “The Internet of Things” may render thousands of hits in academic databases but a challenge still remains: to let students envision as well as work with the concept in a practical way. Designing “Things for the Internet” will not only require skills in engineering and electronics but also some understanding of digital service design and business models. This paper reports on work in...
One of the biggest challenges of organizations in contemporary times is the ability to manage rapid changes in business environment. Software and expert information systems can help to manage changes and thus contribute to addressing this challenge. The initial, and perhaps, most important activities in software and expert systems development are to elicit, analyze, specify, and validate requirements...
The aim of our study is to investigate ERP project critical success factors (CSFs) with a focus on higher education institutes (HEIs). We conducted a systematic literature review to identify specific CSFs affecting HEIs' project outcome. Building on these results, we led several interviews within selected German HEIs. Overall, there is little literature dealing with the HEIs' CSFs, but nearly all...
The debate on replacement of traditional learning by massive open online courses is an ongoing one since the launch and success of million-user platforms like Coursera or Udacity, followed by online courses offered now by the majority of universities. Still, significant share of online courses are IT-, data science, business, theory and humanities oriented, as in these cases the students do not require...
The relevance of the article is determined by a new socio-cultural situation, conditioned by the development of the information society. There are unknown cultural practices, intellectual and emotional needs, value orientations against the background of a significant decrease in the communicative and cognitive abilities of students, necessary for functioning not only in the educational environment...

The experience of the department of the economic theory on the development and usage of technology for electronic testing and accompaniment of business games in the teaching of economic theory for students of technical stream is described.
Mobile education (ME) has been greatly spread through mobile devices, transforming the way education is delivered. However, in Tanzania, little is known whether teachers in higher education institutions (HEIs) utilize mobile devices for their own ME training and other educational related matters. The aim of this study, therefore, is to investigate the usage of mobile devices owned by teachers at the...
Teaching software architecture to undergraduate students is particularly hard because they typically have no experience with medium or large systems with competing stakeholders. A particularly hard case is ATAM (Architecture Trade-off Analysis Method), which allows the evaluation of architectural designs and quality attributes by competing stakeholders. This article describes ATAM-RPG, a role-playing...
As the Internet of Things implies building systems of interconnected everyday objects, programming such complex devices can be a struggle. There are multiple possible programming approaches when building a smart system, each with its pros and cons. This paper presents a comparison between several existing approaches, but also our proposal of a BPMN based approach that we applied to the Internet of...
This paper proposes a design to implement Intelligent Examination subsystem in the Internet Plus environment, which uses structure model combining B/S and C/S, JSP technology and SSH frames. Student examination terminal facilitates automatic acquisition and maintenance of exam candidate's face image for automatic authentication of its identity, automatically obtaining examination papers' information,...
This paper presents the game refinement theory and its applications to serious games. A measure of game refinement is derived from the theory based on the game outcome uncertainty. The previous study with a focus on fun games such as boardgames and sports indicates that the game with a zone value (0.07–0.08) of game refinement measure has a good balance between chance and skill, in which people may...
Internet of Things (IoT) seems to be a popular term nowadays, for business, society and teaching alike. Teaching students about such concepts and more importantly, making them aware of the many competency components (often called KSA — knowledge, skills, abilities) required in the development of IoT systems, services and products has been a major aim in the teaching design presented in this paper...
There is a strong need to make research more efficient resulting in more impactful outcomes, across the world and more so in developing countries. To improve research outcomes and impact on practitioners, effectiveness of student researchers (SRs), research supervisors (RSs) and communication of research findings need improvement.

Delivering persuasive presentation is a challenging task for the university students. One of the difficult parts is grasping the attention of audiences during the critical situations, such as in the early morning or after the lunch break. At the situations, students are not paying more attention to any speeches or presentations occurred in the classroom because of some lapses of attention span such...
Assessment feedback, which is an important factor in student learning development, has been a source of dissatisfaction for many years. The technology used in universities such as Gradebook does not allow the tracking of student engagement with their feedback. In general, engagement is mainly reported via observation or students' self-report. This paper presents results from using a prototype application...
