Open Education is changing the educational paradigm. The consolidation of the OpenCourseWare initiative, supported by the top universities of the World, and the revolution generated in the recent years through the emergence of Massive Open Online Courses, present a new educational scenario for teachers, students and institutions. This new environment has furthered the use of e-learning, not only because...
Media types in heterogeneous source are usually represented in different dimensions; this makes cross-media retrieval hard to process. In this paper, we utilize a new domain adaptation to solve Heterogeneous domain adaptation (HDA) problem in cross-media retrieval using Heterogeneous Feature Augmentation (HFA). First, different dimensions of features are transformed into a common subspace by learning...
Traditional sports teaching affects the enthusiasm of students and it also doesn't benefit the improvement of the teachers' level. Multimedia technology is able to overcome most of the flaws in traditional sports teaching by integrating the advantages of various media. However, its superiority in sports teaching hasn't yet fully reflected due to the subjective and objective reasons. Under this condition,...
In order to facilitate the laying of deep drainage pipes, we have improved to design one kind of catchment reinforced water seepage hoses, and then analyzed the structure, principle of the drainage and advantages of the hose. Furthermore, we have verified the feasibility and rationality of the catchment reinforced water seepage hoses by Indoor performance test and geotextile permeability test.
Exquisite is individual characteristic in Peter Zumthor's architectural works, the paper from the plane composition of architectural function, the form rule of architectural technique and the site express of architectural environment, trie to explore the meaning of Zumthor's exquisite methods on architectural creation, perfect his theories and ideology.
This study describes the complexity and diversities in the process of teacher learning. It examines a harmonious and supporting group learning through the construction of teachers'community of practice. Education reform in the era of knowledge economy requires teachers to be education practitioners, researchers, and innovators. Teacher learning is not only of practical importance but also of theoretical...
Development of the educational technology in field of the engineer's training have received great attention in recent years. The new information technology will significantly improve the methods of technical discipline teaching and thus level of the engineering students. This paper describes the results of IT using for virtual course creation and presents the structure of multimedia laboratory course...

The paper describes the experience of ILAN course implementation in teaching of engineering students at Tambov State Technical University. The goal of the course is to enhance academic mobility of students and academic staff. The positive influence...
The wide application of information technology in the education accelerates the development process of the informatization of college physical education, and presents more challenges to it. This essay surveys the current situation of informatization in college physical education, and suggests some of the ways to reforce and deepen the process.
Digital tablets have been identified as a tool for enabling blended learning and supporting online teaching and learning. A small scale trial was undertaken to assess the effectiveness of this technology when applied to power engineering education. Critical findings and experiences gained from this trial, including potential benefits, presentation techniques and the resulting student feedback are...
The article explains the necessity of the integration of physical education with modern education technology in colleges and universities, and on the analysis of the obstacles in practice of the integration of modern education technology and physical education in colleges and universities, a strategy of integration of modern education technology in the teaching of physical education in colleges and...
Game based-learning exploits the potential of ICT and games engage learners. The objectives of the European project “Play the Learning Game” are to spread and update the results of the “Learning Game Portal” to vocational education teachers and trainers.

This project plays important roles in overwhelming improvement for engineering education and talent cultivation for social requirement. China Jiliang University is a comprehensive university characterized by metrology and measure. With in-depth investigation on engineering...
This paper describes the Multimedia Educational Pills (MEPs) model. MEPs are highly concentrated courses, designed to address a topic through multiple representations, following a recursive, non-cumulative, logic, as pointed out by the Cognitive Flexibility Theory (CFT) methodology. MEPs have been designed to meet the educational challenges posed by the transition from an industrial to an information...
As a multidisciplinary subject, biomedical textiles included various disciplines such as textile and biomedical engineering, design and modeling, mechanics, materials and fiber science, and so on. Thus, it is a challenge for the experiment teaching in biomedical textiles. This paper presented the current status of experimental curriculum and recommended several suggestions to improve not only the...
Digital platform of teachers' professional development is an integrated development about students' teaching practice ability, teaching evaluation, teaching reflection ability, at the same time teaching, training, evaluation, testing, research and other functions as one of the intensive system. Platform is made from network intelligent training system, classroom teaching online observation system,...
This paper sets out to provide a preliminary guidance on developing mobile language learning applications, with consideration for using multimedia. A set of initial findings are presented from a small-scale pilot learner study, along with other considerations from findings in the literature. These preliminary guidelines could be further developed in later iterations to provide an overall framework...
Linear combination is a popular approach in information fusion due to its simplicity. However, it suffers from the performance upper-bound of linearity and dependency on the selection of weights. In this study, we introduce a ‘simple’ alternative for linear combination, which is a non-linear extension on it. The approach is based on the Analytical Network Process, which is a popular approach in Operational...
