Through adopting advanced information techniques, farmers can broaden their information acquisition channels, reduce acquisition cost, and make rational production and operation decisions of production, technology and market information. Based on 117 survey questionnaires from Jiangxi, Fujian and Anhui which have experienced the reform of collective forest right system, this paper specifically takes...
The principle of Reusable Learning Objects(RLO) is to break education material into smaller chunks of material that can be readily digested and more easily learn by the learner. Hence, creating and developing courses based on RLO(s) gives learners the option to select courses that rebased on the learners personalised needs, optimised to cognitive needs and financially viable as well as creating courses...
Classroom response systems have been envisaged to be one of the most useful e-learning technologies that have been notably employed to improve interactivity in classrooms. Students use state-of-the-art technology to convey their responses anonymously to the instructor's questions. Analysing the responses is necessary to attain higher understanding of the lecture's material by students. This paper...
There has been a large amount of research into the development of automated systems for creating school timetables. Methodologies such as constraint programming, simulated annealing, and Tabu search have been applied to many school timetabling problems. The research presented in this paper forms part of work-in-progress aimed at evaluating genetic algorithms as a means of solving the school timetabling...
Innovation is the key to success in every sphere of Life. Changes are happening in everyday life and one has to adapt to new situations and face challenges. Technical education is no exception to this phenomenon. There is need to change curriculum and traditional teaching methods. This paper focuses on `change management' and re-engineering of educational processes. IT has enormous potential and we...
This paper discusses an ePortfolio initiative for engineering and science students at Massey University, New Zealand. Eportfolios are electronic version of portfolios that are extensively used in arts and education. We have introduced ePortfolios to our students to impart life long learning skills at university-level. We have chosen open source portfolio (OSP) management tool and customized it to...
Recent technological developments have enabled the use of virtual three dimensional platforms for educational uses. In this paper, an application based upon the Opensim platform for use within medical education and development of clinical skills is presented together with its associated repurposing so as to reconstruct and change this environment so that it fits different medical specialties. The...
Educational content is often shared among different educators and is enriched, adapted and in general repurposed so that it can be re-used in different contexts. This paper discusses educational content and content repurposing in medical education, presenting different repurposing contexts. Finally, it proposes a novel approach to content repurposing via Web 2.0 social networking of learning objects...
With the quick development and the combination of modern education technology, multimedia technology and network technology, multimedia network curriculum based on Internet will become the major resource of future education. Network curriculum refers to the content of courses and teaching activities of a certain discipline displayed by the network. It not only helps to enhance students' initiatives...
The relationship between Leadership and Personal Initiative was explored. 255 employees and 45 superiors were surveyed by MLQ (5X), work-related self-efficacy questionnaire and personal initiative questionnaire. The results showed that leadership had close relationship with personal initiative, transformational leadership had augmentation validity based on transactional leadership in predicting personal...
The teacher e-portfolio based on network is a product of modern information technology, it can record the teacherpsilas growth of instruction, strengthen their personal knowledge management, and more important, it can enhance their instruction reflection. Teacher professional development is an issue of general concern in education field, particularly with the implementation of the new curriculum reform...
Under the construction of sustainable development index system of uranium, I use factor analysis in the study of the Henan Province in 2000, 2003 and 2006, the uranium resources for sustainable development of the situation. The conclusion is: from the sustainable development in the comprehensive level, the sustainable capacity of uranium resources in Henan Province is showing a growing trend: the...
In order to solve such existing problems as low intelligent level of teaching aid and huge systematic size, this paper studies a kind of intelligent system of teaching aid based on knowledge discovery, and discusses the method that can realize knowledge discovery on small-sized embedded system. To break through traditional technology of data fitting, it puts forward the method of orthogonal polynomial...
